  1. Micro or a&p201

    sjalv replied to amberdawn85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a bit confused. Are you taking both of the science classes in the same semester, just one of them will be done online and you need to know which to choose to do online? If this is the case, I...

  2. Class of 2015

    sjalv replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    Yeah, we have had to do a background check, drug test, and turn in shot records over the summer as well. Is the Facebook page a page, or a group? And what is the

  3. Class of 2015

    sjalv replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    glopez, I think it is so cool that you can agree to work for a hospital for 3 years and have your debt forgiven. Especially because I have heard that LA is a tough market for new grad nurses, so...

    sjalv replied to blackvans1234's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL. I worked at a pizzeria for two years so I found this particularly

  5. Graduating high school early

    sjalv replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there. I did not graduate high school early, but I did start taking college classes at the age of 16 (my junior year). I started the fall semester after graduating high school with 38 credit...

  6. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

    sjalv replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The professors will make or break these classes for you. In my A&P1 class, I had a teacher who would rather talk about his opinions on Evolution vs Creationism than teach us about the cranial...

  7. Class of 2015

    sjalv replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I am glad to see I'm not the only one freaking out! I just turned 19 on June 17th and I'm a guy, so I'm really going to stick out in my cohort. I get along well with anybody so I'm not worried about...

  8. There Are Places Where the Nursing Shortage Is Still Real... Let's List Some to Help!

    sjalv replied to WideOpenHeart's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree that Oklahoma is a great place for nursing jobs. I personally live in Muskogee (40 miles southeast of Tulsa), and there are 3 hospitals here along with many home health agencies, LTC...

  9. Do you have friends going towards nursing too?

    sjalv replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my current friends are people I met in my pre-req classes, and while most of my pre-reqs weren't strictly for nursing students, most of the friends I made happened to be pre-nursing students....

    sjalv replied to Lamjammcgee's topic in General Students

  11. Class of 2015

    sjalv replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    sjalv replied to Donatello88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a C in A&P1 and a B in A&P2. I applied and was accepted on my first try. Our school is based on a point system as well, where as long as you passed the class, you got the points for it....

    sjalv replied to 2016hun's topic in General Students

    I made a C in A&P1 and got into the nursing program first

  17. Books I should read before school starts?

    sjalv replied to healthy12's topic in General Students

    I start nursing school next semester too, and currently I'm in a class called Success In Nursing that prepares us for it. Our instructor told us if we are to study something before the program starts,...

  18. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

    sjalv replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school bases acceptance on a point system. The core science classes, which are A&P1, A&P2, and Microbiology, all count for 5 points. I applied this semester and since I'm currently taking...

  19. A&P1, how many hours a week in class?

    sjalv replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey. I didn't take A&P over the summer, but I did take General Chemistry. It was from 8am-1:30pm twice a week (lecture/lab combined). This is common with summer science

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

  21. AP1, any tips?

    sjalv replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there! I am taking A&P1 and A&P2 currently, but it's a traditional 4 month semester. That sounds crazy to do A&P1 entirely in one month, but I am sure you can do it. Rest assured that...

  22. I pay to hear the instructor... not your stories (rant. beware)

    sjalv replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    This is a problem in some of my classes as well. IMO it should not be the student's responsibility to moderate other students. Simply inform the instructor that it is hurting the learning process...

  23. Jobs Anyone?

    sjalv replied to cox6619's topic in Nursing Career

    As strange as it seems, bigger cities (like Houston) seem to have less job opportunities. I'm a nursing student in a mid-sized Oklahoman town (Muskogee, 40k people) that has 2 hospitals, and both have...

    sjalv posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello. I'm 17 and will complete a CNA certification program in February. Will I be able to get a job then, or will I have to wait until I'm 18 in June?
