  1. Any benefits with joining Phi Theta Kappa?

    Boxer Mama replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I joined last semester. Sadly, it will not help me with scholarships since I will be going to a private college. But, many of the local public universities have PTK scholarships. I also think it...

  2. Anyone else taking Microbiology this semester? Advice and suggestions welcome

    Boxer Mama replied to gerry75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Online STAT

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

    I have heard nutrition is really just busy work and to just put in the time to keep up with the class load, but it is a 15-week course, so hopefully that will not be too bad. I am sorry that you have...

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

    I have only been taking a few courses at a time, but my notecards go with my everywhere - even on date night with my husband where I pulled them out to study while waiting for a movie to start. I...

  5. Online STAT

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

    I am crazy along with you. I decided to take college algebra and statistics online this semester (along with online nutrition) and I am very nervous about this semester. My school uses the Pearson...

  6. Hybrid Biology over the summer....

    Boxer Mama replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it can be done, just be prepared for a tough summer. I took my A&P II class last summer, and it was tough. There was a lot of information that we had to get through, and I think I spent...

  7. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

    Boxer Mama replied to Garethaus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even though I am not even an "official" nursing student yet, I can absolutely see the need to vent, having worked in different parts of the healthcare field. The OP would be very shocked that on a...

  8. Feline Dissection

    Boxer Mama replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I had some great advice. Our cats were feral cats that could not be adopted because they were mean and most were sick as well (as we discovered during our dissection). I guess knowing that...

  12. Who started studying yet?

    Boxer Mama replied to ImDaMan11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did start studying, but it was more to feel like I have caught up in order to take college algebra since it has been a long time since I have been in a math class. I have not opened a book in about...

  13. Schedules for this upcoming semester

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

    The only prereq for both classes is prior college math or MAT 90. I now really wish I had not waited until my last semester. I guess it does not help that I decided to attend an ABSN program instead...

  14. Schedules for this upcoming semester

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

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

  16. Microbiology

    Boxer Mama replied to pco8's topic in General Students

    Micro ended up being one of my favorite classes so far. I really enjoyed the labs and working with the bacteria. I made lots of notecards and took them everywhere with me. Since I had already taken...

    Boxer Mama replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. I DID IT!!!!!!

    Boxer Mama replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. I DID IT!!!!!!

    Boxer Mama replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I might be crazy, but I am taking them in the same semester along with nutrition. Those are my last classes, and I want to have the summer free or maybe take patho to lighten up my first quarter in...

  20. I DID IT!!!!!!

    Boxer Mama replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The program I would like to attend does not start accepting applications until Feb 15th for the October 2013 start, so I have about six more weeks to go! I have the entire application filled out, and...

  21. Any older students??

    Boxer Mama replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

    What I did to learn the bones was took pictures during lab of the models we would be using on the tests and then I labeled them with numbers on the front and the name on the back so that way I was...

  25. Mathematically. challenged

    Boxer Mama replied to EJ_81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look into the programs you are taking. In my state, college algebra is required for a BSN....nothing less. I do understand about being challenged in math and I feel that way too. I would...
