  1. Is my personality a good fit for nursing?

    I totally understand. I feel the same way. I'm not a baby person, I'm not really extra sensitive. I wouldn't say I'm a typical girl in the gender-stereotype of pink hues and submissive personality....
  2. Withdrawing from A&P 1

    While I get that it's better to withdraw that have a bad grade on your transcript (to a certain extent). I remember when I was taking chem a few semesters ago my teacher SUCKED. 2/3rds of the class...
  3. Anybody have Plan B?

    Well, I'm really heavily relying on plan a. Get good grades and go to my #1 choice school. Plan A's subscript says keep re-applying until I get in... but I'm really counting on making all this hard...
  4. EVERYONE wants to be a Nurse/feeling overwhelmed

    I didn't read the whole thread so I apologize if someone has already said this. I had the same realization, in my a&p course and my Micro course this semester I feel like half of each class wants...
  5. A&P I Spring 2013

    I got an 87% on my first exam. I just posted in another thread that class average was 71% so I think I did great considering I really don't feel like I studied very much. I wish we had extra credit...
  6. First A&P Exams...Let's hear it!

    I got an 87% on my first exam. It was 80 questions on anatomical terms, chemistry of life and cell biology. Class average was a 71 so I'm happy with my
  7. Teas V or Hesi

    I just started studying for teas, and then realized, I really don't have to study for the teas. I got the practice tests and scored in the 90's on both, talk about a waste of
  8. A&P 1 &2 in the summer. Am I crazy?

    I plan on taking A&P 2 and Chemistry over the summer. I think it's doable. So far, everything we've learned in A&P 1 over the past few weeks I think could've been done at a quicker
  9. ITT Tech RN program?

    No one would be hired out of this program. You'd make more money becoming a
  10. Anyone afraid of not getting into program?

    I know this sounds really silly, but I have been working SO hard and have such great grades that I'm not nervous on getting into a competitive program. I would be nervous about like a lottery
  11. A&P I Spring 2013

    Okay, whoa. I just had my first A&P test and I don't want to jump the gun, but I think I'm safe to say, I DID AWESOME. It was a 75 question exams, 3pts extra credit. I think I skipped 2 questions...
  12. I have a macbook pro and it has a cd drive. Want my honest opinion... save yourself 700 bucks and get a
  13. Microbiology before finishing A&P?

    I'm taking A&P I and Microbio concurrently as well. It seems that ALL professors discourage a.) taking both together and b.) their idea of one before the other, I've heard both opinions. I know...
  14. Failed first Anatomy 1 Exam ....Depressed.

    I always take the first test as a measure of if my studying is working for the specific class. (I have my first a&p exam tomorrow) I always give myself allowance to do poorly on the first test as...
  15. Study skills, please share...

    I preview what we're doing in class before I go in. So in A&P I'll preview the chapter we're going to read. Or if it's micro lab I'll read through the lab. During class I record lectures and take...
  16. Anatomy & Physiology 1!!!

    The lab of my a&p class so far we did a Dialysis and osmosis lab, a theory of osmosis and osmotic pressure lab and an osmotic blood cell experiment. As I'm flipping through my lab book it looks...
  17. A&P I Spring 2013

    MeekaNichole- Not to trivialize your plight, as I'm sure it's frustrating having a lackluster professor but hopefully this will give you a chance to grow in your learning. My A&P professor,...
  18. Microbiology Online! HELP!!

    I find online classes are really hard to test in. Mostly because in lecture a professor is more likely to speak on what they're testing on (of course not always) where as in online, you have to teach...
  19. A&P I Spring 2013

    Way to go meeep! My test was supposed to be wednesday, I studied for it and was totally prepared to get an "A". Then today my professor said that he's never done this is 13 years of teaching, but he...
  20. 4 yr nursing school vs 2 yr nursing school??

    I'm in agreeance with the previous two posters. If you can just go to a 4 year now, if you want the BSN, just do it now. However if you wanted to you could also do the two year and then bridge to BSN...
  21. I know it's not a requirement, but I'm shadowing 1/2 shifts of 2 nurses next week, one in NICU and one in PACU. I'm really excited. If you've shadowed what were your experiences? Do you put in your...
  22. Feeling lost in A&P 1?

    "A visual atlas of histology" My professor said this book will save you from "The widow maker" that is the histology
  23. A&P I Spring 2013

    @x_factor, I also can't wait to be through with the chemistry portion of this. I know it's important, and obviously the human body is based on chemistry, but it's just so boring! I already know a lot...
  24. ABSN programs

    For myself personally I'd chose a entry to practice masters. For example university of Maryland offers a clinical nursing leader masters degree that you sit for the NCLEX and as a bonus know...
  25. Is nursing the right career for me?

    Nursing is a great career if you really love not only helping people but having a "servant's heart" as many nurses I know refer to it. If you can put others before yourself (along with a great...
