  1. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    Wow - this thread in on page #2 already! I had exam #3 today (I think I did pretty well)! That leaves one exam, one final and one lab final (plus a disease presentation the week after Thanksgiving)....

  2. Applying to "?" in the spring~!

    Boxer Mama replied to kplp1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me!!!!!!! I am finishing up my general education classes next semester (college algebra, statistics and nutrition) and in February can put in my application for an Associates to BSN completion...

  3. Better chance of getting into nursing program with BA?

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

    For the programs I have looked at, it would not help. They look at the pre-req grades and then experience. I think it would depend on the school and

  4. Who is applying for Fall 2013?

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

    Like everyone has says, it depends on your school. I am applying for an October 2013 start and I will still be finishing up my classes in the spring

  5. I'm 23 and doing my pre-reqs...wondering...

    Boxer Mama replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before I started school I wondered if I was "too old," (I am now 35) and I was told I was going to get older with or without school, so why not go for it. But, in my classes, I really do not feel...

  6. Humanities help needed.

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

    I agree with the others that online classes are tough. I am taking an online humaities class right now and I spend a ton of time on the material - more than I do for micro! It is an entry-level...

  7. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    Got my first exam back yesterday - 101.5%!!! I am thrilled! But, no time to relax since midterm lab test and exam #2 are fast approaching!! Lab has been fun - we made Gram stain slides of cultures...

  8. Looking for advice from pre-nursing students who are also moms.....

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

    I have three kids and I started taking my classes last summer. Up until this semester, I was taking only 1 class at a time, which just got painful because it was so slow! I am in my last science...

  9. Is it just me???

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

    I am not sure when I will eat yogurt again, but it is way better than the movie I watched back in junior high about all the things that live in your house, bed, etc. I will take the bacteria any

  10. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    I had my first lecture exam on Monday, but I will not know my grade until Monday, I think. I think I did okay. I am loving lab. We did spread plates yesterday of a swab from our mouth and this gets...

  11. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    I really enjoy my teacher. I feel like she really wants us to do well and she has fun teaching the class! We have our first exam on Sept. 9. I only have one class next week because of Labor Day, so...

  12. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

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

    I had my first micro class today! I still am not sure what to think, but I did get to culture the push button of the drinking fountain outside the class and see what grows on

  13. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

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

    I get mixed reactions. If all goes according to my plan, I will start my ABSN program next year when I am 36. My parents support my decision about going back to school, but they are not really...

  14. "Over studying"

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

    I think you can over study and I am very guilty of this! This past summer semester, I probably averaged 3-4 hours a day, 5-6 days a week for A&P II. Yes, I did well on all my tests, but then...

  15. A&P "coloring book"??

    Boxer Mama replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought one and did the first page and then never opened it again, for A&P I or II. I can see where it would help, but I ended up using pictures from lab to study from instead. They are not too...

  16. ACK- School on Monday A&P & Chemistry

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

    Good luck! A&P I was pretty black and white...everything is named and it is what it is. It is when you get into the physiology portions that things start to look gray since there will start...

  17. Is General Biology required for a BSN?

    Boxer Mama replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check the program you are thinking of applying to since it seems that programs have different requirements. For me, even though general biology was not a true prereq for the nursing program,...

  18. When Do You Start Fall Semester?

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

    In Colorado and my micro class starts August 20, but my online class for humanities does not start until August

  19. Denver School of Nursing is now NLNAC Accredited!

    Boxer Mama replied to Nursedenver's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is wonderful!!!! If everything goes according to plan, I should be in the 2013 Associates to BSN

  20. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    Boxer Mama replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess this is where you decide if you really want to be a nurse. I have been wanting to go back for my RN for many years and finally started working on classes a year ago. This is not an easy path...

  21. Fall Semester 2012 Let's Go!!!!

    Boxer Mama replied to bamwife06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I still have one class left of my summer term (Monday)! I cannot even think of the fall yet! But, I am so blessed to have survived that class with what I think should be an A (A&P II) and am so...

  22. Summer A&P II check in

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

    I have my last lecture tomorrow and then lecture/lab test on Monday along with comp. lab final. I currently have over a 99% in the class, so I just have this last push this weekend to finish out...

  23. Which to take over summer- AP2 or Micro?

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

    I am taking A&P II over 10 weeks this summer and it is brutal. I spend at least 4 hours per day outside of class studying per day. It is a ton of info to do in a regular semester! I would take...

  24. Human Development and A&P II in a semester is this EXTREME???

    Boxer Mama replied to inquiringRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Human Growth and Development last summer and it was not all that challenging. I am currently in A&P II and it is taking a lot of study time. But, if it is a regular semester, I do not...

  25. How is A&P 2 different from A&P1?

    Boxer Mama replied to EMT89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the previous posts, A&P II is much more physiology and they want you to know why things are the way they are. I study a lot every day, even weekends, no exceptions. I am not sure if...
