  1. Spring schedule too much?

    dkmamato3 replied to Lizzyalligator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you know your own study ethic and attention span. 6 classes is a lot to keep track off when A&P is in the mix. However, if you do not have a job or family to take care off it should be...

  2. Taking A&P in Spring 2013....HELP?

    dkmamato3 replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Drill yourself on tissue types, bones, joints, muscles and you will have a great start. PP's advice is great ... definitely helpful to do a detailed review of action potentials as

  4. Can a teacher do this?

    dkmamato3 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly ... learn from what went wrong and then move forward. Last week I did really poorly our online chapter assessment. I thought I was ready to take but the results clearly told me...

  5. Can a teacher do this?

    dkmamato3 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dezy ... A&P is tough and there is a lot of material to learn in a very short amount of time. I feel certain that most students taking A&P is feeling pressure at some point. Lecture and lab...

  6. best anatomy and physiology aid?

    dkmamato3 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    APR 3.0 is great - you can do lots of quizzing in there: MC's, click on structure, lab practical (writing and spelling), watch videos etc. I have found it very

  7. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

    dkmamato3 replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have done a rat and a cat dissection during this term. I would think that you cannot opt out of these dissections as they are often an integral part of the A&P learning process of comparative...

  8. Career Change from Finance to Nursing

    dkmamato3 replied to whatsmyname's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have my previous degree in accounting and am pursuing nursing. With accounting, I had not applicable classes for pursuing nursing (ok I did have one general bio class but that was soooo long ago!),...

  9. Hospital volunteer interview today

    dkmamato3 replied to Bazi-preNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think volunteer work is always a good reflection on you. I recently completed my volunteer training for our local hospital and I will be doing weekly volunteering in the ED. It is great...

  10. VENTING!

    dkmamato3 replied to stefonee356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may also want to check out ALEKS.com. You can try a free trial too - it is a great self paced online program for math. I think a 6 week access course is like $35. Then if you can commit a...

    dkmamato3 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great post .. it is nice to hear positive stories of making a career change and making it through. I am doing pre-reqs now and hoping to make it in to an ABSN program next summer. Congrats on the...

  12. What studying routine works for you?

    dkmamato3 replied to Rayray13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I pre-read before lectures and go trough the review questions at the end of the chapters. For things that are unclear, I make a note so I can remember to ask about it during lecture. I take notes...

  13. Struggling

    dkmamato3 replied to cazman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried to break your studying down into segments? For example, use 1/2 hour increments instead of 2 hours of study time in a session. Focus on small sections several times throughout the day...

  14. What are some tips for Microbiology?

    dkmamato3 replied to EMT89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is definitely challenging...but I really loved the class. Lots of studying is the key. Make sure you read before lecture, take notes during lecture, and then re-read. I used my notes to...

  15. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    dkmamato3 replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree for testing at my school all cell phones have to be placed at a desk in front of the class. Having a cell phone on you (or in your bag) is considered

  16. Really jealous of everyone starting nursing school in the fall!

  17. Calling second degree students..... Competition

    dkmamato3 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting - can you expand a little on this order of preference - why do you think the accelerated programs would rank below an associates program? Is it due to the time/exposure factor as these...

  18. How do you make it through the sciences?

    dkmamato3 replied to 123itsjesset's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was not keen on science in high school or my first round of college - but going back I find it extremely facinating. I did have to supplement my micro class with extra readings on my own as some of...

  19. A&P I, Micro and Nutrition

    dkmamato3 replied to ksecatero21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P and micro are both very intense classes - lots of study time required for both lecture and labs for both of these. I did micro in my spring term and easily spent 20+ hours a week for that...

  20. Getting vaccinated for Nursing school?

    dkmamato3 replied to cmj1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it will be very difficult for you to find clinical sites without further vaccinations. I quick call to your local hospitals HR departments and I think they will tell you that as either an...

  24. Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

    dkmamato3 replied to NyLALove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking 2 online pre-req classes this summer (nutrition and dev psych). These are my first online classes too. I like the format because it allows me to be home with the kids for the summer and...

  25. More expensive, shorter program, or wait for longer, less expensive program

    dkmamato3 replied to owluhsin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would make out a list of pros and cons for each choice as a guide map. If you are ready to move now, it may be a good thing to wait. However, I would definetely research schools in the area where...
