  1. My grades /:

    x_factor replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP you're grades aren't awful, not for a first semester with only 4 classes. Obiously they aren't great, but they aren't "awful" as another poster so rudely said. You have many pre-req classes to go...

  2. Worried about my psych grade

    x_factor replied to waisy92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Re-take it, get an A, and the college won't care. Most colleges replace the old grade with the new grade (a few colleges average the two grades together, depends on the school), and won't care about...

  3. Preparing for A&P1

    x_factor replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P at the beginning of this year in the spring at a previous school that I transferred from, and did great in it. I loved the class. It was my first time taking A&P and I was nervous...

  4. My grades /:

    x_factor replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, you had what seems like a very light schedule, as far as the difficulty of the classes, with the exception of college algebra. If you struggled in those classes, you really need to take a...

  5. Help with picking classes.

    x_factor replied to Cbarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ This is also another good suggestion. I'm taking a Biomedical Ethics class in the spring as my humanities elective, as it will cover some good discussion material relavent to the nursing profession...

  6. PLEASE READ!!!!Fighting Appeals for Final Grade

    x_factor replied to RNnme3j's topic in General Students

    I had to speak with a nursing instructor about a mid-term exam one time, as I was given a 98% on the exam, but it was then deducted down to a 90% when it was posted online. I went to her office, she...

  7. Help with picking classes.

    x_factor replied to Cbarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only class that's usually offered at schools but not always required as a pre-req, that I would recommend, is medical terminology. You will find it invauable once you get into A&P and more so...

  8. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    x_factor replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For this to be the very first post for someone on a student nursing forum, I assume I'm feeding a troll. With that said, I'll bite... Lies? So those of us who state we have a passion and desire to...

  9. Final Grades for Fall'12

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, that's

  10. Winter Session '13 Schedule

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Nutrition as well, and mine was almost identical to what Soprano described their course as. It was fairly easy and pretty straightfoward

  11. I need help with scheduling!!

    x_factor replied to kijuanxpablo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They do not have to be taken in sequence, it depends on the school. At my school, you can take A&P 1 and Micro together, one is not a pre-req for the other. I think taking A&P 1 in the summer,...

  12. I'm So Lost Trying to Schedule Classes

    x_factor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am trying to get my schedule sorted out here and it's just a mess. I am applying next semester for the ADN program for fall admission. There are a total of 34 credit hours worth of pre-reqs and...

  13. I need help with scheduling!!

    x_factor replied to kijuanxpablo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not tackle A&P I, A&P II and Microbiology all in the same semester, as those are 3 very heavy science classes. English and psychology are both very easy classes. I would take A&P I...

  14. which should i take to bexome a nurse?

    x_factor replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't put myself in debt with the 'career' school, which I am going to assume by your description is a for-profit type of school. You will be out of a lot of money and little room for future...

  15. I'm So Lost Trying to Schedule Classes

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

    Thanks Zoe, I appreciate the feedback and you are absolutely right. I've been thinking long and hard about it, and will continue to do so before making my decision. I definitely do not want my grades...

  16. Done with the HESI A2! Any questions?!

    x_factor replied to doxielover304's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  17. Has Anyone Taken Biomedical Ethics?

    x_factor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone here taken, or is taking, Biomedical Ethics (generally a philosophy class) during their pre-reqs? What is/was your overall impression of the class, and what sort of things were covered?...

  18. I'm So Lost Trying to Schedule Classes

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

    My thinking is, I could just take General Bio during the summer with A&P II, and then just take Microbiology during the fall with all the nursing classes. But I think that would be even harder...

  19. Has Anyone Taken Biomedical Ethics?

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

    Yeah, it's full here too, so I dug around to see what program actually requires it, and it's required by the Sonography and EMT majors, but not the nursing students at my school. It's also got a low...

  20. Done with the HESI A2! Any questions?!

    x_factor replied to doxielover304's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    For grammar, study all the words in the book, because I've read that a few will be on the exam. Also check out Quizlet.com and type in HESI A2 Vocab, and there are some flashcards with more vocabulary...

  21. Done with the HESI A2! Any questions?!

    x_factor replied to doxielover304's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Whatever area's of math you are weak in, you just need to brush up on. I suggest checking out YouTube videos that explain math concepts, and also checking out Math.com, which is a great supplement for...

  22. Is taking A& P 1 and general psychology too much?

    x_factor replied to TrishaJefferson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep your head up, you'll do fine. Just go into it knowing that A&P I isn't extremely difficult, it's just a lot of memorization. So try to find what study method works for you early on. YouTube...

  23. Got accepted!!!!

    x_factor replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!

  24. Is taking A& P 1 and general psychology too much?

    x_factor replied to TrishaJefferson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psychology was hands down the easiest class I've ever taken. I had a difficult professor, and it was still a walk in the park. You'll be

  25. Electives

    x_factor replied to 2bNurseCurtis98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't started Biomedical Ethics yet, it's my last elective and I start it in the spring. From what I've heard and read, it's mostly getting to talk about and debate healthcare related area's like...
