  1. College Algebra and Statistics

    Sizzline replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This exactly. I am mediocre at math. Algebra came pretty easy to me, but statistics was a beast. I wound up with an A- in it, but it required an immense amount of work from me. A 7 question homework...

  2. ADN Or BSN?

    Sizzline replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is only one BSN program within a reasonable driving distance from me, and it is an astronomically expensive private school. I am planning on getting my ADN from the local community college (with...

  3. Finals week

    Sizzline replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is pretty much me exactly. My house is a wreck, my kids are so tired of me having my nose buried in my notes, and we've been eating either stuff out of the oven or really quick and easy meals for...

  4. Prereqs Help (Microbio/A&P)

    Sizzline replied to loverofall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also not recommend taking A&P2 and Micro in the same semester, especially condensed over the summer. Micro builds a lot off of things I learned in A&P2; I'd definitely be having a...

  5. Biology Question

    Sizzline replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found that a lot of what we are learning Micro is piggybacking off of content we learned in A&P2. If you can, I would take them one after the other instead of in the same semester, especially...

  6. How to start pursing a career in nursing with young children

    Sizzline replied to feliciageorge4510's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 4yr old and a 12mo old at home now. I worked full-time and went to school part-time until my 2nd daughter was born, and saved up as much money as I could. I now stay at home with my girls and...

  7. Anyone else waiting for next semester?

    Sizzline replied to branb5435's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my last semester of prerequisites, but my school has a waiting list, so I won't be able to start clinicals until next Spring semester. I am going to take extra classes in the fall, though,...

  8. How did you space your SCIENCE prereqs?

    Sizzline replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is not required to get into my ADN program. I took a basic bio class as a refresher first, because I hadn't taken one since I graduated from high school 12 years earlier. Then I did...

  9. Elementary Statistics for people who aren't good at math

    Sizzline replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am definitely not what you would consider "good at math." I have a month left of Elementary Statistics and have an A-, maybe an A. I am working really, really hard to get it, though. I spend 3x as...

  10. Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    Sizzline replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school does 3 days a week: lecture, lab, and clinical. In addition, most people go an additional day to work in the skills lab, so they told us to be prepared to be on campus 4 days a

  11. Can I register microbiology as a non-matriculated student while taking a A&P2?

    Sizzline replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attend DCC! They will allow you to register for Microbiology if you are currently enrolled in A&P2 if you are a matriculated student. I'm not sure if they will allow it for non-matriculated...

  12. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    Sizzline replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me! 32 years old, married with a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I'm finishing up my last semester of pre-requisites and have been accepted into clinicals for Spring

  13. Stats...

    Sizzline replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Stats online right now, and kicking myself for doing it. Definitely one class that I should have taken in

  14. How Many Classes Do You Have Left?

    Sizzline replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am finishing up my last prerequisites this semester: Microbiology, Nutrition, and Statistics. I can't wait to be done with them and into the core nursing

  15. Anatomy and Physiology 1 grade?

    Sizzline replied to MykRTstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend speaking to your adviser about this. My friend and I are both in separate nursing programs. In hers, anything below a B- in any of the science prereqs means that you are likely to be...

  16. Microbiology study sites/methods

    Sizzline posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone have a favorite site they use to study for micro? Mnemonics, flash cards, videos, etc? Or your favorite way to study the material? Class average for our first exam was a 69; I got an 82,...

  17. Nursing pre reqs

    Sizzline replied to Enlightenedx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This semester is my last of pre-requisites. I am taking Microbiology, Statistics, Nutrition, and Developmental Pysch. I am spending the bulk of my out-of-class time on Statistics and Micro. I'd say I...

  18. Nursing prerequisite classes sequence question.

    Sizzline replied to rapertchristom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school also has pre-reqs for each science. You can't take A&P2 until you pass A&P1, and you can't take Micro until you pass A&P2. Pharmacology and Chemistry are not required for me,...

  19. Nursing Program 2014/2015

    Sizzline replied to Sweetsandshots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am waiting for my decision letter for the fall semester as well. Supposedly, acceptance letters go out mid-February for the fall semester, so I will be anxiously checking my mailbox this

  20. What science classes should I take together if working full-time?

    Sizzline replied to nybsn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll probably want to check with your school to see if any of the sciences are prerequisites for another. At my school, you have to pass A&P1 before you can take A&P 2, and must have passed...

  21. Is Anatomy and Physiology 2 harder or easier than A&P 1?

    Sizzline replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found A&P 2 to be both easier and more interesting than A&P 1, hands

  22. How many classes are you taking this Spring?

    Sizzline replied to FutureLVN2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking four classes, one of which is a science, so it'll have lab plus lecture. I find that reading the chapters before lecture, then taking notes while highlighting anything that is not making...

  23. Where do you get your books?!

    Sizzline replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always go Bigwords. If you put in the ISBNs, it searches all of the textbook sites for you, and tells you where the cheapest places are to buy/rent. It has saved me so much money, and time as well...

  24. Best school apps for android tablet

    Sizzline replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also really like StudyDroid. You can type in your flashcards on the computer, and then sync it to your phone. It makes it easy to study flashcards while waiting in line at a store,

  25. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

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

    I wound up with a 3.67 for the semester. A&P 2: B+ Microeconomics: B+ Medical Terminology: A Women's Health (elective):
