  1. My Teacher Hates me!!!!

    Boxer Mama replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While you might not feel this way, your teacher might think you are not really a serious student. She has told you to meet with her during office hours and you are finding excuses not to. She probably...

  2. A&P 1 Question

    Boxer Mama replied to Orizza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my A&P I, we reviewed the chemistry and biology of cellular function, histology/integumentary system, bone tissue and bones/landmarks throughout body, joints, muscular system, nervous tissue,...

    Boxer Mama replied to rubato's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Summer 2012 - Check in

    Boxer Mama replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be taking A&P II this summer in a 10-week course. I actually do not register for the class until the 17th of April. I am hoping to apply to nursing school this December after I complete...

  5. Help!

    Boxer Mama replied to jessypaige's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be a CNA, you do need a certification. I know at my local CC, it is a 3-week program, so just check out what is available out there. You could also start by being a

  6. waiting list at community colleges

    Boxer Mama replied to ginaw623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CC I am taking classes at has a waitlist currently at around two years. I guess in the past it has been as high as five

  7. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    Boxer Mama replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am also going the ADN route. I have three kids and an accelerated program is just not an option. The CC colleges here do have long waitlists, but I have some classes to take in that wait time and...

  8. Tips on getting an A in A&P1?

    Boxer Mama replied to avalee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Study, study, study! I am in A&P now and have around a 98% in the class. There is a lot of information to learn and "cramming" will not get it done. Take advantage to lab time and never leave...

  9. My reaction to the 1st semester of A&P...

    Boxer Mama replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love this!!! I could not have said it better myself! I do, in fact, dream of A&P. Right now, I am currently dreaming of muscles. My note cards go everywhere with me along with my book if I...

  10. Going back to school for Nursing

    Boxer Mama replied to jodisudi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have three kids (9, 7 and 4). I have been taking prereqs now for three semesters and hopefully can apply to the nursing program this December. It can be done. I have to take night classes right...

  11. Is taking anatomy over the summer a very bad idea?

    Boxer Mama replied to xsophiex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you would be fine, but it is a lot of information to learn, so just be prepared for studying every day. But, I plan on taking A&P II this summer. Good

  12. Terrified about starting school late in life...

    Boxer Mama replied to pnut8377's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be 35 next month and have 2 classes left before I can apply to the nursing program. I am loving school and have a 4.0. I am actually doing better now than I would have when I was younger. I...

  13. Online Anatomy Class, am I crazy?

    Boxer Mama replied to eastbay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous posts that a summer online class will not be at your own pace. Your teacher will set the pace and you have to keep up. I would not take this class online, especially for...

  14. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    Boxer Mama replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Test (lecture & lab) #2 are in the books and I am heading into spring break next week, but I still have a lot to study on my "vacation." I have been taking my phone and recording videos of my...

  15. 658 Days until nursing school :-(

    Boxer Mama replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with seeing if you could take the classes at a different college over the summer and then transfer the credits. Good

  16. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    Boxer Mama replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first degree is in occupational therapy and I would tell you to see if you can volunteer in the rehabilitation department at a hospital to shadow an OT/COTA and see what their day is like. As for...

  17. should I still become a nurse even though I hate science and I'm bad at it?

    Boxer Mama replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even though I have just started down my nursing path, I have been in the healthcare field for some time and it is a lot of science. I love science and the human body and how bacteria work! You...

  18. Would love some advice.....

    Boxer Mama replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the path I have to take. I am going to apply to my local CC to get my ADN, but they have also joined up with a local 4-year college to offer a BSN program where you attend one day a week for...

  19. BIO 111 in Summer a good idea?

    Boxer Mama replied to Derek1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it would be okay to take Bio 111 during the summer. It is just a lot of memorization, so I suggest a lot of note cards. I bought the book Biology for Dummies, and it explained some of the...

  20. A&P II and Micro in the summer - is it possible?

    Boxer Mama posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school's summer schedule just came out, and I am playing around with the idea of taking A&P II and micro together. These are my last two classes until I can apply to the RN program, which has...

  21. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    Boxer Mama replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel this exact way! I got a 98% on my first lecture test and was a bit disappointed. I think I need to work on my expectations. As for my class, lab/lecture lest #2 will be next Wednesday,...

  22. Has anyone taken these classes in Summer?

    Boxer Mama replied to MorteDiAmour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same situation. I have A&P II and micro left and I was thinking of taking them this summer. Our session is compressed from 15 weeks to 10 weeks. I have been told I am crazy or I...

  23. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    Boxer Mama replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a similar situation. I was 34 when I started my classes last year and I had to take Bio so that I could take A&P and micro classes. At first, I was really irritated that it was going to...

  24. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    Boxer Mama replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just had my first test last night on anatomical terminology, histology and integumentary. We had both our lab and lecture test. I did well on the lab test and I am hoping my teacher will post the...

    Boxer Mama replied to KA Stritt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 34 years old and I am in the third semester of prerequisite classes now, hoping to apply to the RN program after this summer semester! Becoming a nurse is something I have wanted for many years...
