   VIMom replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm taking Micro along with Physiology and an online psychology class starting June 3. I'm really nervous about being able to do it all, if I can't maintain my current GPA...well, you know, lol. But...

   VIMom replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

3. How to balance?

   VIMom replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Although I'm stressed, alot, I try to keep in mind that both my children's childhood and my time in school is going to be incredibly brief. I want to be able to enjoy both and frankly, I just play it...

4. Do you take your laptop to class?

   VIMom replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I take mine to Anatomy b/c the prof posts her slides and it's easier to download and take notes on the powerpoint directly rather than to print it out, plus it's super light to carry. I'm only one of...

5. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

   VIMom replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Ladylynn6, I totally feel you. I got a 97 on my first exam, and was actually upset until I realized how silly I was being. Did I really think I'd go through the entire program and NEVER miss a point?...

6. Nutrition 160

   VIMom replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Thankfully, my nutrition class is fully online, so I can go at my own pace (sort of). Unfortunately, that also means that we're doing 2 plus chapters a week. I just finished the exam over carbs,...

   VIMom replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   We just had our first major exam in my anatomy class last Monday, and b/c the prof was sick and hasn't posted the grade, and we only attend lecture/lab once a week, I have yet to see my score. I'm...

8. Chem 2 made me cry today

   VIMom replied to ixchel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   This may be a little late, but what's really helping me in Chem is youtube. Watching the different videos is helping me to understand it, and they often have different ways to explain and tricks to...

9. Has anyone taken two science coarses in one semester??

   VIMom replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm currently taking Anatomy (they're split at my program), Chem, and Nutrition. All three are labeled as science courses, and actually all three seem to be covering much of the same material. I'm...

11. How Do I Toughen Up At Work? Part 1

    VIMom replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could go stay with your grandma? Fresh start, out of the drama for a while. If you can't control how your brothers make you act, you're going to end up becoming just like them. You obviously...

12. Summer Classes a Good Idea?

    VIMom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my first semester of pre-reqs, and with transfers, testing out, and what I'm taking this semester I'll have what I need to apply to the ASN program at my school. I hopefully will start next...

13. Waiting to hear from Cox College 2012

    VIMom replied to Camwill's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not waiting, but I plan on applying for the ASN program at the end of this semester. Are you doing the guarenteed acceptance thing? I'm lacking some classes for that, but have the general...

14. A&P 1

    VIMom replied to keeithh01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like you, I'm also doing the blocked schedule thing. I'm in Anatomy (ours are split) from 8a-noon30 one day a week. That includes lab time and lecture. I still have to know everything everyone else...

15. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    VIMom replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you feel. I'm 27 and although I'm not really concerned with my age, it has of course crossed my mind where I could be and how much time I've wasted. I went in to register for classes for...
