  1. Using a MCAT book to study for the TEAS?

    DFWgal replied to juslikeneon's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    hey electricL, did you study with the McGraw and the ATI manuals or only the McGraw book? I talked to a girl that got 96% in the TEAS and she told me the ATI manual was more than enough but I've read...

  2. How many credit hours did you take during your pre-admission semester??

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

    I agree. I'm taking 17 hours this semester (pre-admission

  3. is it possible to take all these classes at once?

    DFWgal replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking five classes now, two of them with labs (actually Micro and A&P II so I kind of know what you'd have to go through), and this semester has been stressful. I think I've slept 20 hours...

  4. Is this even realistic?

    DFWgal replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a low-risk person. I'd wait for hubby to have a better job and things to be stable. It's no fun having kids and no medical insurance. I'd be worried every second... Maybe you could wait until kids...

  5. What to take with A&P 1 and 2?

    DFWgal replied to kat444's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II with Micro and barely surviving. If you think it's really necessary to take 2 sciences together, take Micro with A&P I. If you can, take them separately. I would take...

    DFWgal replied to Lizzylove714's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!

  7. Microbiology anyone??? How do you study????i

    DFWgal replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read the textbook, the .ppt from class and my notes and I got an A, but that was for the lecture test. I've heard that the "killer" is the practical part and I'm lost too. I don't know if I should...

  9. Taking College Algebra and AP-II during a summer term?

    DFWgal replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I during Summer I. It went well in terms of grade but I felt I didn't learn much. Now for A&P II, that I'm finding harder, I've had to go back and re-read material from the 1st...

  10. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got grades for Intro to Psyc, Dev Psyc, A&P II practical, and a Micro quiz. All A's fortunately. Hey, kudos to the posters that are married and/or have

  11. Should I still apply to Nursing schools even if I do not have healthcare experience?

    DFWgal replied to Es90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about volunteering to get an idea of what you're getting into? (If it worries you :) ) The programs I've checked don't require previous experience in healthcare. With good grades, you'll be fine...

  12. Necessary to take Bio I before A&P I?

    DFWgal replied to craftypepper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II now. I think Bio and Chem classes were helpful to understand the subject better. I'm finding A&P much harder than Micro in terms of content, time needed to learn the...

  13. Wanna be a nurse when I grow up - prereq ?

    DFWgal replied to BeckyV71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community colleges have several of the pre-reqs online. (I don't know for LVN, but the PSYC classes, Gen Chem, A&P, etc. can be found online) and they look exactly like regular classes in your...

  14. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to your instructor and ask for some advice. Tell her that it's a hard class for you, and an important one since is part of your pre-reqs. Let him/her know that you care. I suffered Speech too. I...

  15. Which of the nursing pre-reqs did you find the most difficult?

    DFWgal replied to guevarrar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I felt the same with ochem. Completely different

  16. Which of the nursing pre-reqs did you find the most difficult?

    DFWgal replied to guevarrar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm... I would say A&P II. Of course I won't be sure until this semester is over, but it's not only tons of memorization and detail (like A&P I) but also connecting everything and getting the...

  17. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your good grades, guys! Keep up the good work! I just got the results for my 1st tests. Everything went well with Stats, Intro to Psyc, and Micro. I got an 89 in A&P II. (1 point......

  18. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on the time you're able (and willing ) to put there. Some of my classmates that work full-time are struggling with just one of the classes. Some people already disappeared...

  19. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I'm taking A&P II and Micro together and I've had to put a good number of hours just to know enough to follow the lecture well, and be prepared for the study cases (A&P)....

  20. Looking for friends along the application process

    DFWgal replied to bduck's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Brian and hi everyone :) I'm taking A&P II, Micro, Intro to Psyc, Dev Psyc, and Stats. This was a crazy week before I had tests on every subject plus lab quizzes. :) After this semester I'm...

  21. Psychology

    DFWgal replied to Ashkins529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I need Intro and Dev as separate pre-reqs for Nursing, but Intro is not a pre-req for Dev at my college (Actually I'm taking them together). However, one of my Micro classmates is a Psyc mayor and his...

  22. Computer Literacy Requirement- Is a class needed?

    DFWgal replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had to take a computer class as part of our "core requirements", and TWU accepted it. I know there is a test students can take instead to show they're proficient too. I would ask the advisor what...

  23. Worried. Am I making the right choice??

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

    I'd go for sonography if that's what you like now. You can still go to Nursing later in life if you decide that you want to reach your potential. Other people's opinions are important but you're the...

  24. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    DFWgal replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
