    A&P II before A&P I ?

    maddiem replied to biggolp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @vera4130 - I didn't realize there were schools that did that. At my school, they didn't make us take general biology if we took a whole year of it in high school. My A&P classes were by body...

    A&P II before A&P I ?

    maddiem replied to biggolp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can't take A&P II before A&P I...You will learn the very basics of A&P in the first course and more advanced physiology in the second course. Your advisor obviously isn't very familiar...

    A&P Instructor Accused Me of Plagiarism

    maddiem replied to kissmypineapple's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask your instructor if you could set up a meeting with him. It s hard to deal with an issue like this over email. The reason he probably accused you of plagiarism is because he put your answer...

    What are some nursing careers that are great for a first year RN?

    maddiem replied to Medicalgirl2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry about what kind of specialty you want to go into until you are almost done with nursing school. It's always great to have interests and aspirations of what you want to be one day, but...

    Many nurses become health care administrators after spending a decent amount of time in the nursing field and some get their masters in nursing practice to do this as well. You could eventually become...

    3 Science classes, will it be too much?

    maddiem replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be able to pull this off, you would need A LOT of time on your hands. I've known people to take 2 science classes at once and be successful, but I don't know anyone who has taken 3. My opinion is...

    Wanting to CLEP some Courses

    maddiem replied to eodwife96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful...Some schools will give you an automatic grade of "C" for all CLEP courses. My program does this. So if these are classes that are going to be calculated into your prerequisite GPA, I'd...

    BSN or MSN? Which path to take?

    maddiem replied to Margotrita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are some MSN programs that are designed for people with a bachelors degree that is not in nursing. Its pretty much the same as betting and ASBN thought except the ASNB programs are at a faster...

    Have I ruined my chances of getting into nursing school?

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

    Thank you both for you advice. I definitely wouldn't ever think about sending this sob story as a personal statement to a school describing why I had some bad grades...lol. Might be a big turn off! I...

    Pharmacology

    maddiem replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pharmacology really is just a lot of memorization. So it shouldn't be too bad to take online. Its a very difficult class though due to the amount of information you must know. Note cards and making...

    How do I evaluate a sthethoscope?

    maddiem replied to tinks599's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A basic Littmann is $80. The more advanced models are $100-250ish. The basic Littmann is very good. I would go with that. Great

    online anatomy class?

    maddiem replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1 and 2 in class w/cadaver lab and got A's in both. I can't imagine learning all the material from home all by myself...It would have been a nightmare for me. There is SOOO much...

    Is CNA even worth going for?

    maddiem replied to angellove6776's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being a CNA might not be a pretty job, but if you are going to become an RN one day it will be very helpful when you get to nursing school. The concepts you learn in a CNA class are the very basics of...

    Best phone for nursing school??

    maddiem replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    iPhone is the way to go...I had an Android phone before my iPhone and it ran apps horribly. iPhones run very fast, everything looks clean and organized on the screen. I LOVE my iPhone! I could also...

    GPA not good enough?

    maddiem replied to PreNursing16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have a great GPA! But it also depends on just how competitive this program is as well...If they have an enormous amount of applicants, then your GPA may not be as good as some other people...

    Pre-Nursing Major, Spanish Minor?

    maddiem replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's definitely a good idea! Since you have already finished your freshman year though, I'm assuming it will take longer than 1 year to complete the minor. So if you plan on being in a nursing program...
