    I hate chemistry!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to JennyNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hahaha, sorry, it is like you are reading my mind! We're on the 2nd chapter in A&P now and it's chemistry-based and I'm just so stressed out about it! I love every other aspect of it, aside from...

    PSB for LPN

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting ready to write the PSB, probably sometime next month or early October. I am killing myself over the math. Is there really a lot of math on there? I just have a stress-related problem...

    Best way to memorize for A&P

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

    I've been using flash cards insanely! I make my own and study ones that others have made online (I've found cueflash.com very resourceful!) Although a lot of our books are different, the material is...

    Where do you sit in lecture

    Iridescent Orchid replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I sit in the front, but to the side. I used to be the person always in the back corner of a classroom, but now I'm always wanting to get dibs on the front row. I don't like sitting in the middle...I...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So, I'm in my last semester of LPN pre-reqs and it's about time for me to take the PSB in order to for the school to get my scores before the selection process. We have to make a 230 or higher on the...

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

    Good luck! I had to take math as well, you'll be just fine! Public Speaking will help you out a lot, if you're shy like I am in the beginning! You'll be into A&P and whatnot before you know it!...

    starting prereqs !!

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

    I felt the same way you did! I am still easing into the whole transition. I hadn't been in a classroom for over 6 years. It was nerve-racking, but I felt calm after I got in each class and got...

    I am in a community college and the lowest we can have in order to be up for selection is a 2.75 in all pre-reqs - although everyone around my college is mouthing that you have to have a 3.7 to even...

    Class starts tomorrow, I'm nervous!

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

    Thanks! I think we all have a tendency to overthink when it comes to certain areas in our lives and we just keep adding stress to the thoughts. Most of the time it turns out to be completely different...

    Is making friends in school important?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    I haven't made any actual friends through pre-reqs. I'm nice and help others when I see they missed a note during a lecture and things along those lines - but I've yet to actually make a friend. If...

    How to Handle Student Incivility

    Iridescent Orchid replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It's been insane in my A&P class, and class is just getting started. I was sitting in the middle of the room, but opted to move myself up to the front. Too many students texting under the desks,...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, I just started my Psych course and wow...it's a hybrid class and we'll only be meeting twice a week in the classroom. All of our assignments and reading must be done at home and online. With that...

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

    I'm glad of where my GPA is right now at a 3.8, but I feel a bit stressed for the fact that one of my instructors said that the average accepted GPA for the LPN Program at my school is a 3.7 - I...

    Grey's Anatomy thoughts

    Iridescent Orchid replied to baby_gurl0604's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy GA, honestly. I'm so enthralled with the character setup, and of course, Patrick Dempsey! The way they portray nurses or anyone for that matter, doesn't bother me at all really, it's just TV...

    Do you really need a rolling backpack?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I'd wait it out! I fell in love with an actual backpack as well and decided to buy it as opposed to the rolling backpack. Wait until you start your classes and see how often you'll need to bring your...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble....

    How do you guys take notes

    Iridescent Orchid replied to nickster10's topic in General Students

    I'm an avid note taker. I listen in lectures, but I have to write a lot of things out in order to get them embedded into my brain. I tend to stick to outlining and index cards. If I'm outlining,...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to my3suns's topic in General Students
