    Should I take medical terminology as an elective?

    i♥words replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *Update* My medical terminology online course was an easy A. I really enjoyed it. The textbook was great. If you can't take a med term class you might just get the book. I do wish that I had taken...

    Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    i♥words replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i♥words replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you're looking at two Bs and two Cs. Ignorant question, but do minuses and pluses affect GPA? Where I attend we don't do B+ or B-...it's just a B. Those aren't terrible, but they aren't As. I think...

    I would try to do what kschafer suggests. A&P 1 the first summer session, A&P 2 the second summer session, and then micro, psych, and English in the fall. If your school doesn't offer A&P...

    Should I do it?

    i♥words replied to msnursecp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it gives an advantage as in sucking up to the adviser equals getting into nursing school, but I do think it shows that you care, and because the nursing adviser is (or should be) very...
