  4. Did anyone think that A&P II was an easier course than A&P I?

    alex1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P II was easier for me, and I liked it better even though I took it with the hardest teacher in the faculty. You still have to memorize a lot, but this time will be more physiology than anatomy...

  5. Microbiology and anatomy 2 is it smart to take at the same time in one semester

    alex1987 replied to foxycats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not recommend you to take them together. I took A&P I, II and Microbiology all three in different semesters and got an A in all of them. I could've taken A&PII and Micro the same semester...

    I have no idea. Usually if a new book comes with Access code and CD then the bookstore lists it next to the book title. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to use them on class. The...

    @flylikeabird The bookstore website is very confusing... but I assume that the book you're talking about is just the regular Fund of Nursing that we're going to be using for RNSG 1105. I would say not...

    alex1987 replied to rayneonme's topic in Texas Nursing

    @thehopeful That's exactly what I thought... Fund. of Success and Test Success shouldn't be required for the class since they aren't textbooks but study guides to help us with test taking techniques...

    My scrubs are one blue and the other one turquoise. I have no idea about the color we're suppose to use for clinicals on summer. I know Ms. Haegel mentioned something about black, but I think she said...

    We have to buy a basic and advance kits for Nursing skill classes. If you check the book requirements the kits are listed only under Nursing Skill 2, but I guess we'll be using them on Nursing Skill 1...
