    Should I retake the course?

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

    I'd definitely try for an A in this class you're engaging in currently. Like some others have said, there's no guarantee you will receive an A if you take it over again. I'd wait it out, since the 3.6...

    I feel like a failure!

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

    Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but she also seems like she'd be the type that once you got into the program, and had a test, you may share your grade or something and she'll always one up it...like...

    I feel like a failure!

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

    I think we always find ourselves with one friend that is along these lines...they get enjoyment out of doing this and it sucks. It seems she called with the intention of only that. With that being...

    How'd you learn bones & muscles?

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

    There are many sites you can go on, as a visual learner that will help you tremendously...I'd utilize them even if I didn't consider myself a visual learner! I have also been using Kaplan's Anatomy...

    Who is worried about their first test?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    I am...for the most part, but it's just test anxiety for me, it comes almost natural. I tend to freak out before every test...especially the first one in each class, no matter how much I prep. I...

    How often do you study?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to tag2007's topic in General Students

    I believe it all depends on the material and how well you adapt to the knowledge/understand it all. I tend to study 3-4 nights per week...the time varies, but I usually try to make it 1+ hours most...

    Getting A Head Start - Good Idea?

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

    Getting a head start is always great. Those stating they'd get bored and get a burn out from it are thinking in the context of living and breathing these textbooks. That's not the way it should be...

    What Is Your Definition/Perception of an Amazing Instructor?

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just a tad curious. Based on your experiences in pre-requisites, what defines a great instructor? Is it the way they lecture, how thorough they are? Maybe it's the way they demonstrate and give...
