    Focus on prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Then make your flash cards and practice, practice,
  3. Cheating classmates

    I think I would have to say something to the instructor outside of class. These are people competing for a spot in the nursing program. Imagine how you would feel if one of the cheaters got a spot and...

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

    I took A&P 1, micro, stats, and lifespan last spring. Then A&P 2, nutrition, and govt in the summer. You can do anything you set your mind
  8. Need some positive words!

    I just start counting down the weeks and think about how I won't have to deal with it again once I finish. Oh, and how if I took the W I would have to go through the agony all over again. You are...
  9. DO I HAVE A CHANCE?

    Sorry to say, but it really doesn't matter what anyone on this forum thinks about your chances. Every school has different admission standards and your chances are totally in their hands. Your GPA is...

  11. URGENT: Apply as transfer without pre-reqs

    I agree that an advisor would be your best source of information. That being said, I can share my experience. My pre-reqs must be finished by the start of the BSN program. Yes, acceptance is...

  15. I think I'm failing my Biology class =[

    Wow. Really? A temper tantrum? C'mon. It seems that people are willing to help if they are given some information. How can you expect answers when you have not asked a question??? You can't reasonably...
  16. Has anyone taken Physio in the Summer?

    I, being the glutton for punishment that I am, took A&P 2 over 5 weeks last summer. It was horrible!!!!! I did well, but my head was spinning the entire time. Definitely be prepared to study at...

  18. People in my program don't care!

    Not really sure why you are letting this become YOUR problem. Personally, I appreciate someone making me look better when they slack off. If they don't want it, fine by
  19. New to Nursing, Having trouble in Stats

    I absolutely agree. Even if you are strong in math, stats is another animal. I would take the W, sign up for a "live" course next term and get very familiar with the location of the tutoring center,...

    WARNING!!! It CAN go lower and the latest score is the one that gets accepted. You have do decide if the benefits outweigh the
  21. Yet another TEAS question

    That isn't rude at all. It is TRUE. Everyone should be able to do basic math. The math on the TEAS was simple 3 and 4 digit addition and subtraction. Of course there was some algebra in there, but...
  22. chosing the right path

    Why 3 years worth of prereqs? That seems awfully long. As far as 5 years being too long, all I can say is that the end justifies the means. Not sure about hospitals' opinions on career college. As far...
  23. First off, you need to really examine why you want to be a nurse and what you are willing to go through to graduate. For me, no amount of nastiness from a professor is going to run me off from...
  24. One of the first things I heard on my journey to becoming a nurse is that "nurses eat their own". The thing is, I'm not there to work for the nurses. I'm there to care for patients. I spent 10 years...
  25. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    Can't stand the waiting game!!!!! I'm waiting for an invitation to interview and have terrible "mailbox anxiety". I think I checked email half a dozen times today. What's worse is that I'll get to...
