    Orientation

    SopranoKris replied to rocababy119's topic in General Students

    I just had orientation last week. It really made everything seem REAL instead of just a dream, does that make sense? It was also great to see people who have been in my pre-req classes who made it...

    SopranoKris replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Michigan State University has a 14 month ABSN program. I'll be doing their 4 semester RN-to-BSN bridge when I complete my RN

    Should I get an A.S. degree in Biotech alsong with pre-reqs?

    SopranoKris replied to Jaguarundi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had my Associate's in Microbiology & Physics. It didn't matter at all what the AS was in. If it wasn't a Bachelor's degree, they weren't interested in it. The only thing the AS helped me with...

    Math Conversion-Metric system Help!!!!!!!

    SopranoKris replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1 m = 100 cm, 2.54 cm = 1 inch, 1 foot = 12 inches. You can skip the mm because it's not necessary to go to mm to get to inches. 0.33 m x (100 cm/1 meter) x (1 inch/2.54 cm) x (1 foot/12 inches) =...

    Recommendations?

    SopranoKris replied to myp7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to say, our school has Anatomy separate from Physiology. We covered cell biology at the beginning of Anatomy and you were not allowed to register for Anatomy until you completed either intro...

    Chemistry and Nursing Requirements

    SopranoKris replied to kitten2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should really speak to the nursing school advisor to find out what your best course of action is. We can only speculate since we don't know their requirements. Chem lecture & lab at my...

    LCC people!! question about nurs 200

    SopranoKris replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can't imagine taking this as an 8 week course. I took it online last semester (Fall 2012) and the sheer volume of reading, quizzes, med math & tests was tremendous. Trying to compact that into...

    Your local PTK chapter would have mailed you a letter inviting you to join, so you were right to not proceed further. Definitely

    Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    SopranoKris replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not stupid at all. It just helps you focus on the other final exams that you need to pay attention to. Last semester, I took 17 credits. When finals rolled around, I only needed a 30 on my...

    Math Conversion-Metric system Help!!!!!!!

    SopranoKris replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1 yard = 3 feet, 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 m = 100 cm. So, if you're given something like convert 3 yards to meters, you would set up as follows: (3*3*12*2.54)/100 = 2.74 Using...

    C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    SopranoKris replied to 2016hun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is excellent advice! Our program's minimum GPA for acceptance is 2.5. However, the average accepted applicant has a 3.5 or higher. Just making the minimum doesn't guarantee you'll get in. We...

    Is 1 "C" bad?

    SopranoKris replied to Donatello88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to the advisor at your program. Is it a points-based admissions program? Do they look at cumulative GPA or pre-req GPA? I don't think one C is going to kill you if your overall GPA or pre-req...

    If you are in a 2 year junior college, the invitation should be from your local Phi Theta Kappa chapter, which is the nationally recognized honor society of 2 year colleges. Their website is PTK.org,...

    Great to see this thread resurrected! I can't believe it was a year ago that I started on my pre-reqs...wow! So much has happened in a year's time. I completed my pre-reqs, got married and was...

    SopranoKris replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speaking with an advisor is your best option. They will know exactly what level of math is expected before attempting the course. I took Stats as a business major back in the 90s and there were...

    Math Conversion-Metric system Help!!!!!!!

    SopranoKris replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use dimensional analysis to easily convert. It's the easiest way to see if you're going the right direction. If 1 kilogram = 1000 grams and 1 gram = 1000 milligrams, how many milligrams are in a...

    when i apply to the university whats do i put under my major?

    SopranoKris replied to jess1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many schools will only allow you to apply as a Pre-Nursing major. You'll have to check with the schools you wish to apply to in order to make sure you've selected the correct major. As the previous...

    SopranoKris replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think you would at least need Intermediate Algebra before you tackle Stats. You have to be comfortable solving formulas for other variables to do some of the problems. If you haven't covered...

    If you buy the TI-84 Plus then you don't have to do any coding or formula plug-ins. All the Stat functions are included. If you have a regular TI-84 or lower, you'll have to get the Stat functions...

    SopranoKris replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine. The formulas look complex, but they're actually not that difficult. If you can understand the concepts, it's really just plug-and-chug to complete the problems. You just have to...
