    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    We did aseptic transfer and spread plates on Tuesday. My group's transfers were perfect, my partner's spread plate was great, and mine had a hole in the middle. In my defense, we were pretty rushed...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    I'm loving lab so far. The hands-on stuff is fascinating. My only complaint is my chair is so low, some days I may as well sit on the floor. As for lecture, I'm still trying to find my sea legs. I...
  3. My Fall Semester at my Georgia school starts Monday, August 20th, and I'm in my last week of solitary relaxation (my kids started school this past Monday the 13th). I was curious to see if there's a...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    We're using Microbiology With Diseases By Body System 3rd Edition by Robert W. Bauman. I love that it's a fraction of the weight our A&P textbook
  5. I'm taking Micro with Lab and Human Development this fall, and applying for an ADN program in January for Fall 2013 admission. I'll still need my humanities course for my degree, which I'll be taking...

    Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    I started Micro today! I can already see it will be just as I've been told: lecture will be lots of work and lab will be lots of fun. In lecture, we delved briefly (very briefly) into basic...

    What courses did you take in conjunction with A & P?

    I'm an older student, and I was really afraid of taxing myself. I went with suggestions I received from advisement and took A&P I/Lab in the spring with English 1102. I took A&P II/Lab over...

    When Do You Start Fall Semester?

    It's so interesting to see that the part of the country or world you're in has no bearing on semester start date. I wondered if it was a regional thing. Good luck to everybody this

    Textbooks cheaper.

    Walmart.com has great prices on new textbooks, as well. I had no idea Walmart.com even sold textbooks until somebody mentioned it on

    One week left on the alternates list :(

    When I went to the info session at my school, they mentioned that they often have no-shows the first week of classes -- students who were accepted for the program and don't decline their spot despite...

    How far would you commute to nursing school?

    I currently commute 30-45 minutes (depending on traffic) for my pre-requisites. I tried to make good use of my time, listening to lectures during my commute. With the price of gas, I don't think I can...

    What specialty are you considering?

    Like Halcyonn, my hope is to just be employed. My mind is open, and I'm waiting to go through clinicals to see where I might find my

    Trying for Gwinnett Tech Fall 2013

    Thanks for the info, kamecee. I'd been hearing mixed reviews on the Kaplan guide and I noticed it doesn't even mention the Kaplan exam as one it covers. It's nice to hear I didn't completely waste my...

    Summer 2012 - Check in

    Just finished my final final (hehehe) today, and finished with A's. WOO HOO! Now I'm going to spend a week sleeping in before my kids start school again. Then, it's back to the grind for me with...

    Summer A&P II finished today! I got a 98% on my final and a 98.8% overall in the class. 102% on my lab final and a 102% overall in the class. I'm calling it an excellent summer (but TOUGH!). I'll...

    Gwinnett Tech Gunning for Nursing Fall 2014

    The TEAS and Kaplan are obviously two different tests, but probably along the same lines. They're both nursing school entrance exams, so I think they would both test basic essential skills in english,...

    Finishing Up Pre Reqs...FINALLY!

    Me! Me! I'm taking Intro to Micro and Human Dev in the fall and applying for my program in January. I'll still have to take a Humanities course in the spring, but it's not required prior to...

    How do you make it through the sciences?

    Find the study method that works for you. Study groups help many students. If your school has an Open Lab available, utilize it. Flash cards are good. Keep in mind that what works for your neighbor...

    Starting college, pre nursing intended.

    Find out the entrance requirements of the schools you intend to apply for. If you have the time, you might even want to attend nursing program information sessions for those schools -- they're a great...
