  1. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    snow_bear replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you really need to buckle down and do what needs to be done if you want to be accepted by and do well in nursing school instead of looking for an easy...

  2. Two Failed Anatomy Tests :,(

    snow_bear replied to Kristinacast's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Instead of studying just for certain topics that your instructor may have highlighted, you really need to study and prepare to be tested on ALL of the material covered in your book, notes, lab. It's...

  3. Studying for A&P exams

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

    I'm glad I did put so much time into studying for this test. It was TOUGH! Just over half of the class didn't even show up to take it and only 2 made other arrangements with the instructor because...

  4. Studying for A&P exams

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an exam on endocrine, blood, and cardiovascular system tomorrow night. This past week, I have put in close to 20 hours of studying and I'm still not done. It's crazy, but I still don't feel...

    snow_bear replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm taking the test in two weeks. I'm hoping to get into the evening/weekend

  6. Failing Med-Surg, Should I withdraw?

    snow_bear replied to Hana_617's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you did poorly on the exams because you did not prepare for them adequately, not because you are incapable of doing the work. So if that's the case, you should very well be able to do...

  7. A&P I during Summer Semester?

    snow_bear replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what else you having going on in your life. Do you work full time, have children, etc? Personally, I would not want to take such a big class in a short summer semester. There is so...

  8. Math Pre-reqs for Nursing School

    snow_bear replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took College Algebra on-line last semester after nearly 20 years of working any kind of algebra problems. It was a nightmare!!! The interactive math lab was a life saver. I would watch how the...

  9. Cut my losses now?

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

    I saw my doctor today and am feeling better about things. Still nervous about my long-term prognosis and probably will be until after I start treatment and see how it goes. I will know within 3-6...

  10. Cut my losses now?

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. I am almost done with my prereqs, have maintained a 4.0, and scored over 90% on all sections of the HESI exam. All ready for nursing school next fall... Except that, I was just diagnosed with...

  11. What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    snow_bear replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At this point (pre-nursing), I'm very much interested in OR and/or cath lab. I'm not dead set against floor nursing, but if I have to go there, I'd prefer cardio - any level of

  12. Microbio vs A&P - which to take first?

    snow_bear replied to bocaburger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure the A&P is not a 2 semester series? Not that it can't happen, but I've never heard of a nursing school only requiring 1 sem of A&P. Check into that. At my school, A&P I...

  13. Hearing Impaired Student

    snow_bear replied to Kmitch7451's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi. I am also a hard-of-hearing pre-nursing student. Due to the nature of my impairment, hearing aids would be of no benefit. Although I will have to make some accomondations and there may be...

  15. Taking A&P in spring ~ any advice?

    snow_bear replied to dkmamato3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P I now. It is not the monster that I thought it would be. Yes, it is alot of information, but most of it is pretty basic and straightforward. Some of the physio stuff can get...

  16. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which was harder for you? I aced my first A&P I exam, but am not feeling so good about the practical. I think I overstudied on tissues and bone, which will help me with the next exam, and not...

  17. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

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

    I get what you're saying that memorizing and identification is easier than understanding the physiology behind it, but I thought it was tougher because the lab practical was total recall. With...

  18. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

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

    Not only did I NOT bomb the lab practical, I did exceptionally well on it. I was stunned when I saw my score – I even went thru all of my answers to see the marks. Had to see it to believe

  19. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

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

    I just had my second lecture exam (covering cell metabolism, tissues, and skin) and am pretty confident that I did very well. The practical, though, was awful....it was 150 questions covering 6 1/2...

  20. I am so frustrated with Anatomy & Physiology :(

    snow_bear replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Beware of the instructors in which everyone gets an A or B, especially in a class like A&P. The could be "dumbing down" the material to make it easy. A 50% or better fail rate is typical in...

  21. Taking Math Online

    snow_bear replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking "College Algebra" online this semester, but the book is titled Intermediate Algebra, so I'm not sure how advanced it is compared to other algebra classes. At first it was tough, until I...

  22. I know the Material but struggling with the tests.

    snow_bear replied to AriesMS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but I'll take a stab at this. My first thought was also D, but since you said that was wrong, let's go from there... "D" (uterine involution) is really a gradual process...

  23. 1st A&P Tests!

    snow_bear replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my first A&P exam this past Monday. It covered 3 chapters – intro/body regions, chemistry, & the cell. It was a 100 question test with the opportunity for 20 bonus points. I...

  24. What are your future nursing plans??

    snow_bear replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I'm more certain of where I DON'T want to be, rather than where I do want to be. I know I don't want to do burns or L&D. No way, no how... Not crazy about the prospect of LTC, but will...

  25. I have a serious question

    snow_bear replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

    Medical school is 4 years AFTER the initial 4-year Bachelor's degree. That's a total of 8 years of schooling, then comes the internships and residency. Big difference from the 3-5 years it takes to...
