    Who were you in high school

    Exhaustipated replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I was the new kid all four years of high school, which made me a social outcast. I always wanted to fit in, but by the time I found my place, my family would move again. Despite being constantly...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since we had these threads when I was in A&P I and II, and I thought I'd start one for Microbiology. Anybody else delving into the world of bacteria and viruses this fall? Let's start a support...

    I'm So Lost Trying to Schedule Classes

    Exhaustipated replied to x_factor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P during the shortened summer semester and I cannot imagine successfully taking it with Microbiology. I'm sure it's been done, but I can honestly say it's not something I would consider...

    I feel sick....

    Exhaustipated replied to dsb_fam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to take the Kaplan, as well, but I don't take it until March. I don't know if the Kaplan is the same everywhere, but I've been told to focus on the physiology portion of A&P II. Focus on...

    Finished pre-reqs....now the waiting game begins!

    Exhaustipated replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My final prereq grades just posted! My application goes in automatically for my program in January. I take my entrance exam in March, get my yea or nay in April, and hopefully will be starting my...

    what classes to take...

    Exhaustipated replied to bbsunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an older student, but I felt safest pairing my sciences with only one other class. That way, I could dedicate the time I needed to studying. I took 7 credit hours per semester during my science...

    Exhaustipated replied to itsmechinita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would visit advisement at your chosen school if you haven't already done so. They are generally a wealth of information and will guide you toward what you need. Questions specific to your nursing...

    Exhaustipated replied to Nursingstudent93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My only ultimate goal is a degree and a job. Beyond that, I'm keeping my options

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Exhaustipated replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I'm proud of the hard work I do in school, so when I make a good grade, I want the world to know! Okay, I'm kidding -- a little. But I do post my grades on FB. I only have a few friends from school as...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FINISHED! My final grade in lab was 101%. On my lecture final, I needed 301 points on the final (out of 400) for an A -- I got 384 points, which is equal to a 96%. Final grade in lecture - 95.5%. Wow....

    Exhaustipated replied to cw55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take it you took the test today...how did you do? If you'd had more time to prepare, I would have made the same suggestion meeep made: Khan Academy. After 25 years out of school and a horror of...

    What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    Exhaustipated replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I with A&P I Lab and English 1102. I had amazing teachers for all three and worked my butt off. I studied constantly, spent every minute I could in Open Lab, and pulled A's for all...

    How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Exhaustipated replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 43 with no college background at all when I decided to start easing myself into prereqs for my ADN. I'm 44 now and will be submitting nursing program applications next month. I'll be 45 when I...

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lab is finished -- determined my unknown and submitted my case study. Now is the wait for the grades to post. We also had our final lecture in lecture today. Comprehensive final (100 questions -- 70...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ours has been quite a bit of memorization: bacteria, viruses, antibiotics, diseases...it's tough, because I'm not the best with memorization. Give me application and comprehension, and I'm good. We...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Had my written lab final today. Wasn't too bad. Grades aren't posted yet, but I feel pretty good about it. Thursday starts our unknowns. Today's lecture exam, on the other hand, was a killer. No...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome, suzw! I'm really looking forward to the end of micro. Prior to taking the class, people told me I would either love it or hate it. I can honestly say neither is true. I don't love it. I don't...

    Taking A&P in Spring 2013....HELP?

    Exhaustipated replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would contact your instructor and ask! In my school, the instructors are very forthcoming and willing to help with things like that. They may even be willing to share the syllabus with you. For me,...

    best anatomy and physiology aid?

    Exhaustipated replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Other than the materials provided by my school, I think what helped me the most in A&P were the flashcards I made myself. Often, the act of writing out all those flashcards helped to cement the...

    When are you too old to start Nursing school?

    Exhaustipated replied to bluedawg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I certainly hope so. I'll be 47 when I graduate. I know things aren't easy for new grads right now, but I also know that almost all the people who graduated from my school's program last spring are...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought the book, but apparently its usefulness is debatable. Luckily, the wonderful woman from the program sent me a study guide. I'll be using that to figure out what to study in the Kaplan book...

    Anyone starting in Fall 2013?

    Not the TEAS. The Kaplan. My school is the only one in my area that uses it. (I

    Career Change: Non-Degree Adult in FL

    Exhaustipated replied to Naturae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't advise you on schools and the like, since I'm not in your area, but I do know about starting from scratch. I spent my adult life as a stay-at-home mom to two kids and I was more than happy to...
