  1. Anyone Out There Taking Chemistry?

    For me Chemistry was a struggle. Typically, I don't have to put much work behind Science courses. They seem to come very easily to me. Chemistry, however, seemed to require a lot more work. I did pull...
  2. Pharmacology Online

    I am taking pharmacology online right now. Granted, I am not yet an RN, but I am in a BSN program. So far it's not so bad. I feel like if you know the basic mechanisms behind patho, the online class...

    Mine were: Anatomy/Lab Physiology/Lab (Separate from Anatomy) Comp 1 & 2 Microbiology/Lab College Algebra Statistics Ethics Humanities Elective Psychology Sociology Human Development Nutrition...
  4. What are some tips for Microbiology?

    This is not so much advice, as a forewarning. LEARN micro, don't just memorize it long enough to test. I start a BSN program Monday. I was just looking over the powerpoints that have been posted for...

  8. Anybody in the same boat?

    CNA was probably the easiest CLASS, I've ever taken in my life. (The POSITION is not a cakewalk)... It is basically common sense, with some medical terminology and basic skills thrown in. I think you...
  9. Graphing Calculator for Statistics

    I'm with Sun.. I rented a TI-84 from my school for only $25, instead of paying $150+ for a something I would only use for one semester. Either way, I really liked the TI-84 model. After a couple of...

  15. KC Nursing schools

    Yeah, JCCC is ridiculously difficult to get accepted to. It turned out to be kind of a blessing in disguise for me though, because I really wanted a BSN, but was hesitant due to cost. It gave me a...

  24. What do you do in lab for A&P?

    In my experience, I wouldn't want to take Public Speaking with Composition. Both classes are very time consuming and require a lot of writing, outlining and re-creating drafts. Even if you are a good...
