    A&P 1 &2 in the summer. Am I crazy?

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

    I honestly think it depends on your school and your instructors. I took and intense A&P 2 class last summer and it kicked my butt. I did nothing but A&P from the moment I got up in the morning...

    Pathophysiology☺Spring 2013

    Exhaustipated replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had some questions like yours and some questions in the same style I saw in A&P II, II, and micro. I did well on my test, and I'm happy. There's always room for improvement, but considering the...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My letter arrived today! Check your mailboxes. I'm using the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam guide to brush up on my reading, writing, and math, although I hear the book has more than what's on...

    I applied to the school I'm current attending for pre-reqs, and I'm hoping for Fall admission. I should be getting an e-mail this month about scheduling my entrance

    So Tired

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

    Can you switch to PRN during the semester and work part-time between semesters? Or maybe cut back to just one shift? That way your foot stays in the door and you don't have to leave your patients...

    Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

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

    Wouldn't that make them unofficial? Mine had to be sealed in order for my school to accept them. If I'd had to retrieve them prior to destruction and sent them to schools myself, they would have been...

    Can you go to a nursing school that's not from the university.

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

    Many people do pre-requisites at one school and then apply to many other schools for their nursing programs. Is that what you

    Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

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

    Have you tried contacting the school system your old high school is in? When I went after my transcripts, because my graduation year was prior to 2005 (waaaay, waay prior), I had to request my...

    Why nursing?

    Exhaustipated replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    If you had asked me straight out of high school what I wanted to do career-wise, nursing would not have even been anywhere near my list. Twenty-five years later I'm a different person with different...

    Microbiology study plan

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

    For me, it was spending a little time every day to memorize the bacteria and virus lists we were given. I took good notes in class and recorded lectures. I talked through hard-to-grasp concepts with...

    Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    Exhaustipated replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I have two I use. One is "Just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo. The other is the song "Dig in Deep" off Tyketto's last album. When I find myself stumbling on a test, I hear the opening lyrics in my...

    Do most nursing schools use the A+/A- gpa weighting scale?

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

    At my school, an A is a 4.0. Period. I got a 101.something overall in A&P I and it's a 4.0 on my transcript. I don't know if that's how most schools do it, but it's how mine does. My mantra has...

    Exhaustipated replied to ebrooks1013's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh, wow. I guess I made the right choice, then. Is your anatomy teacher male? When I went to the info session, there was a male anatomy teacher who came in to speak with us. Back on topic for the...

    International Scholar Laureate?

    Exhaustipated replied to Destin293's topic in General Students

    I received the same later, and stuck it in my mental It'd Be Lovely if I Had the Scratch file. I also have a family at home who depend on me; it'd be kind of selfish if I just up and left. It did...

    How do you fellows study?

    Exhaustipated replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do a lot of the things mentioned here. One additional thing I do is talk myself through particularly difficult concepts. Out loud. Works best when nobody else is home. Sometimes, I try to explain...

    Traditional BSN VS RN-BSN program

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

    I think if you have the resources and the school's a convenient distance away, the BSN is the way to go, simply because in many areas, employers require it. It also works out, I believe, to less time...

    Need Study guides for The (Kaplan Nursing entry exam) please help

    Exhaustipated replied to brito3223's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the Kaplan book, but it doesn't mention actually being for the Kaplan exam, which blows my mind. Some people insist it's helpful, others say it's useless. This is almost exactly the study guide...
