    ChrisMarie09 replied to Kadambari's topic in General Students

    I tend to keep to myself when it comes to class. Very much an MYOB person. I try not to butt into people's business and I don't like when people butt into mine. Typically, I'm friendly with...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    I can already tell from prereqs who that person is going to be. Actually, we'll have two of them for sure and I pray there isn't more. One does a lot of "Can you repeat that?" or "How does that...

  6. Advice for a pre nursing student?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in General Students

    I was like you in high school. Straight-A student while needing to do hardly anything, even in AP classes. My first few months of college were a wake up call. Just some general advice: Take all of...

  7. Binders for notes?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to ChrisMarie09's topic in General Students

    I print 6 slides per page, front and back so 100+ slide lectures really don't take up a whole lot of paper. I write small enough to fit any side notes I need next to the slides no problem. I have...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in General Students

  11. Shoes ....

    ChrisMarie09 replied to angeltech's topic in General Students

    I'm getting Nikes. They are the only tennis shoes I can wear comfortably. Our handbook says "no nursing clogs" so I don't know if that means no nursing shoes in general or just the clog

    ChrisMarie09 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Anywhere between 19.5-31K depending on how these next 2 years of school are being paid for. That tiny little fact hasn't been made clear to me yet. I can't seem to get a straight answer from my dad...

  13. Should I take Micro and Anatomy and Physiology in the same semester?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to Pily's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take Micro and A&P II together. You want as much general bio as you can get before taking Micro so you don't want to take it with A&P

    ChrisMarie09 replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    We already had cliques in our pre-reqs. I'm part of one big group (about 10 of us) that is kind of divided into two smaller groups. I get along with everyone but there's times where I just think...

  18. What color is your uniform?

    ChrisMarie09 replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Nope. Says "No clogs." right in the handbook. That's fine with me though. I've tried on a couple pairs and I didn't like them at all. I felt really 'flat' for lack of a better word. I'm glad I...

    ChrisMarie09 replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UWM & UWP Consortial look at science GPA and Nursing prereq GPA. But like someone else said, they put a lot of weight on your extracurriculars and essay. I cannot tell you how many times I...
