  1. Recommendation letters

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

    I would think letters from people in health care would be better than a friend so that they can explain why you could be a good candidate. Here is a good link with a template to follow: Reference...

  3. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Boxer Mama replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in my 30s, and if all works out as planned, I will be 38 when I graduate with my BSN. I would not worry about your age. I had classmates that were 18 up to 50. I think it really matters what...

  5. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    Thanks! I just saw I received a 90% on the lecture final (class average was in the 70s, so I will take it)! Now, just have to wait for one more grade on our disease outbreak project until my "final"...

  6. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    Boxer Mama replied to HLS626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is a link from a previous thread on AN: https://allnurses.com/colorado-state-nursing/college-america-509029.html. Also, if you go up to U.S., click on Colorado and then on the nursing program...

  8. DSN competitive?

    Boxer Mama replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Colorado Nursing

  9. What 2 science classes would you take?

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

    Micro after you have completed A&P II will make more sense. Most of the students doing well in my current micro class have already completed A&P

  10. Ready for a career change...

    Boxer Mama replied to angiesm123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was thinking more about your post and I have a few ideas to start researching the LPN vs. RN. On this site, do some research of where RNs and LPNs are being hired because this might influence what...

  11. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    Congrats!!!!! I took my lab final today, not sure when we will get the results. But, final grades are due next Wednesday, so I guess I will know in a week. I now have my comprehensive lecture...

  12. Ready for a career change...

    Boxer Mama replied to angiesm123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure I would agree that schooling is minimal, especially if you can only attend school at night and work full time while doing it. I am just finishing up my second year of classes to even...

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

    I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Just got exam #4 back and preparing for the lab final tomorrow and then my lecture final on Monday and I am done! I have really enjoyed this...

    Boxer Mama posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello! I currently am in microbiology and I am just stumped on a diagnosis, and I have spent hours upon hours trying to make some points match to come up with the diagnosis and I am just coming up...

  15. Need diagnosis help (from student)

    Boxer Mama replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you everyone. I also think it is Rabies and maybe my teacher is just trying to throw our group off with that last bit just to see if we will distinguish the test results and apply that whooping...

  16. Need diagnosis help (from student)

    Boxer Mama replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is no information regarding exposure. I was hoping to get some information that she had a bite of some type. The paper is due on Wednesday, so I am pretty sure this is all the information we...

  17. Need diagnosis help (from student)

    Boxer Mama replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I should also add that this case was found in India. I researched CJD, but since it is caused by a prion, I am not sure that would cause a positive viral

  18. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

  19. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

    Boxer Mama replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love animals and did not want to dissect the cat, but I just had to get into the mind set that this was something we had to do. I just looked at it as the cat was going to be killed regardless of...

  20. Summer '13: taking 3 classes?!

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

    Like previous people have mentioned, summer classes are tough. I took A&P 2 this past summer and I was shocked how hard it was because of how fast the class moved. I spent roughly 4 hours of...

  21. Anatomy, physiology microbiology OH MY!

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

    I would start with the A&P classes and then take micro. Having already studied the A&P, micro makes a lot of sense. I do know people who took micro at the same time as A&P and did fine....

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

    I have an ebook for one of my humanties courses and HATE it! I wish I would have gotten the actual book. I just like having the book in my lap, highlighter in hand. Also, I not have to worry that...

    Boxer Mama replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eventually I would like ICU, maybe OR scrub nurse. But, I am so excited for clinicals to see what all the departments are like. But, I will keep my mind open since I will have to start out where I...
