  5. Can a teacher do this?

    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...

    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?

    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

  10. VENTING!

  12. What studying routine works for you?

    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

    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?

    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...

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

    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?

    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

    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?

    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

    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...
