    I just took a 2 week public speaking class over the winter. It wasn't bad. Everyone is just as scared as you are and you just have to do it. I suggest a quick 2 weeks course or an online
  2. A&P I Spring 2013

    Janelly, just out of curiosity how much are you studying and whats your mode of studying? I am so blown I just got a C on the histology exam!! I'm not used to getting such a low grade, so I'm trying...
  3. Microbiology spring 2013

    How's everyone doing in Micro so far? I had my first test yesterday on 4 chapters, I managed a B. I didn't study as effectively as I would have liked to but hopefully I'll see where I went wrong and...
  4. A&P I Spring 2013

    I also had my second test today. Histology and Integumentary system. The lab portion was 45 slides and the lecture portion was 70 questions. I felt it was crazy how detailed some of the questions...
  5. What else?

    A good gpa and good teas/hesi score. Your previous experience makes you a strong candidate in my
  6. A&P I Spring 2013

    I'm actually really digging that fact that my lab and lecture is together. It helps link everything together, but it does cause us to really speed through material. I can't imagine what a summer...
  7. A&P I Spring 2013

    I love that most of you guys are a section ahead of me! My course didn't start until Jan 28th. I have my Histology/ Integumentary exam tomorrow (both a 70 question written exam and a 30 slide...
  8. Hardest pre-req?

    So far my math courses have been the shin kickers. I hated algebra. I don't mind the finite math course and stat though. Algebra is just so abstract and I can't relate it to anything. I'd take A&P...
  9. You have to figure out how bad you missed the mark on getting accepted. If you were at the bottom of the list, you may want to reconsider your major. People here will blow rasberries on your belly and...
  10. How far do you commute to school?

    Right now I live 3 miles from my local college, about a 7 minute drive going the speed limit. When I transfer I'll be looking at a 20-30 minute drive depending on
  11. Human Cadavers

    No chemical smell! Theres no embalming fluid in the cadavers we will be using from what I understand. something about the method they use to preserve
  12. Human Cadavers

    I almost passed out from excitement today when my A&P teacher said we'd have an optional opportunity to explore a flash frozen human cadaver!! I thought I'd only experience this if I chose medical...
  13. I got accepted....

    You'd be surprised. In my friends experiences I've watched two of them be wait listed as alternates and both made it in. They were furthur down the list too. A lot of people once accepted either...
  14. PRE REQ

    I'm going to a big 4 year and my pre reqs are much like x_factor 3 Humanities elective Intro Sociology Intro Psychology Developmental Psych 1 Social Science elective General Biology Microbiology...
  15. Human Cadavers

    I've been thinking about how different it will be to see things that, thus far, I've only seen pictures of. It'll be a great reward to get to actually interact with what I've been working so hard to...
  16. Really confused.. Pls Help!

    You'd go back to get your NP certification after your BSN (the practitioner is generally certified through a master degree). However, it is not typical for schools to accept you into their NP program...
  17. A&P1 & Microbio

    I'm also taking A&P I and Micro together (I'm also working part time and taking a math and technical writing course.) I find that a lot of the material is overlapping to an extent. I mean they're...
  18. Human Cadavers

    As I understand flash frozen means right after death they are immediately "flash frozen" (no kidding, like a frozen food) preserving their organs with fluid tissue intact. So no formaldehyde. Just a...
  19. Help! Adn or bsn?

    I totally agree with Zoe. While you wait get your cna license! I was debating between ADN and BSN for awhile and after speaking with some hospitals BSN is the way to
  20. prerequisites cost.

    This is for my prereqs for my bsn: For my in-county tuition at community college I'm paying about 95 per credit hour + lab fees + misc. At a full time course load it's about 1400+/- a semester (plus...
  21. Working and nursing school?

    I think 15-20 hours a week would be my personal max. I'm just working on pre-reqs now and find if I don't get a solid 20 hours to study for all my class (Micro, A&P, Technical Writing, Math) I...
  22. Taking two sciences in a abbreivated class?

    If you have the discipline to do it, go for it! Why not apply in spring if you can. I debated rushing through my classes to make the spring deadline as well, and I'm glad I'm doing it this way. I...
  23. If it's the first day of class just talk to your professor before ask what you'll be going over and learn it on your own. You'll have to do it this way so your not behind on day 2. The secret to...
  24. Failing Microbio lab

    I'd ask the professor if you could do the lab over. It may be too late but worth a try. When we were doing aseptic I forgot to sterilize my loop before I put it in the tube and by some miracle no...
