  1. Organic chemistry, statistics, and anatomy together?

    Brookelin replied to nelnel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like everyone else here, I wouldn't recommend it. I just took Chemistry and A&P I together and it nearly killed me! I had a 4.0 GPA before these stupid classes...but no more. I managed to get...

  2. 35 years old with 3 kids and thinking about nursing

    Brookelin replied to plutomickey1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 31 with 3 kids, ages 7, 4 and 8 months. I decided to become a nurse a little over a hear ago and still have another year of prereqs before I will be able to apply for the BSN program here....

  3. Do you recommend Biology before Anat and Phys?

    Brookelin replied to Vanessa7227's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YES!! You've been out of school for about as long as I have and although it seems that you have more personal interest in biology then I did, I think that you will set yourself up better for success...

  4. Has anyone taken A&P 1 or 2 with the University of Phoenix online?

    Brookelin replied to Vanessa7227's topic in School, College Programs

    If you are in AZ I would recommend taking them through Rio Salado CC instead. Although I take the bulk of my classes at Glendale CC, I take my biology classes online with Rio because GCC doesn't...

  5. ugh...my brain feels broken..

    Brookelin replied to sj20fame's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you ever seen that episode of Married with Children where every time Kelly learns something new, something she previously knew flies out of her head and drops dead (am I showing my age by even...

  6. GPA Help

    Brookelin replied to suzieQRNstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This calculator is awesome! I just spent about 20 minutes playing with it and it gave me hope that I can actually get my GPA back up where I want it.

  7. Do I take the class over again?

    Brookelin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I'm going to add to the list of "what should I do" postings...only because I'm hoping to get some sound advice from like-minded people here. I just finished A&P I yesterday and was...

  8. Do I take the class over again?

    Brookelin replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone for the input. I didn't even think about the fact that they may not allow me to retake it, or even possibly penalize me for it (that would suck)! At this point I think I'm just going...

  9. Anyone get a C in A&P?

    Brookelin replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took my A&P final yesterday and ended up with a C in the class. I've had a 4.0 GPA so far until this. Needless to say I'm really dissapointed in myself and realized that I desperately...

  10. How to deal with unsupportive people.

    Brookelin replied to Malpal23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This sounds a tad bit like my mother. Although she says she's "proud of me", it's right after she's gone on and on about how everyone she knows who has gone to nursing school has dropped/failed out,...

  11. Elective??

    Brookelin replied to dawno's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was having the same predicament trying to decide what electives to take. I'm trying to decide between an Ethics in Healthcare class or a World Religion. Both sound interesting to me. I figured...

  12. Getting over being "grossed out"

    Brookelin replied to grace_lorraine87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm actually quite nervous about this myself. I have a pretty iron-clad stomach...I think. But I haven't been exposed to much as far as gore goes. The worst thing I've done is sift through my sons...

  13. Too FAT to be a nurse?

    Brookelin replied to Prtar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also overweight and have thought about how that will work with the nursing profession. I have another year of prereqs before I even start the nursing program and I've given myself that year to...

  14. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    Brookelin replied to SEW94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think Biology would prepare you better for Anatomy and Physiology. Chemistry would be helpful too, but I really think Biology would help you do better in the other required classes because...

  15. Summer students, sound-off...

    Brookelin replied to TraumaJunkyEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking math, ENG101, and developmental psychology this summer. I'm just finishing A&P I and Chemistry this week. Will be SO glad to have those over with...taking them together was a bad...

  16. BIO 156 really needed to pass BIO 201??

    Brookelin replied to mr_clutch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I see that you are attending MCC...same here. Hoping to get into the ASU/NAU (either one) BSN program. Anyway, I don't know how old you are or how long it's been since you attended your...

  17. Focus! What does that mean?

    Brookelin replied to Tricia76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find myself having the same problem! Even though the material starts out as interesting, after looking at for weeks on end I start to lose my mind a little. I start finding excuses for doing other...

  18. Study Tips

    Brookelin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello everyone! I don't know if this has been done in the past, if so I apologize for duplicating...I'm still kinda new around here. But I was thinking, since we're all students working towards the...

  19. Time Management and other Helpful tips please.

    Brookelin replied to dreamangel219's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for asking this! And thanks to those that are responding...all great ideas that I desperately need to start implementing. With a lazy husband and three kids I'm having a very hard time...

  20. Is 31 too old to start a nursing career?

    Brookelin replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope 31 isn't too old! I'm 31 and still have another three semesters before I can even apply to the BSN program. I'll be almost 35 before I graduate (and that's if I get accepted right away). I...

  21. Science courses for Nursing

    Brookelin replied to j0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You definitely should take Intro to Biology first (preferrably one for Allied Health). I'm surprised this wasn't a prereq. You will have a hard time understanding a lot of the content if you don't...

  22. books - digital, print, new, used??

    Brookelin replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm having the same issue. My husband is supporting me right now while I do school full time and we have three kids...I don't have money to blow on stinkin overpriced books. It seems like such a...

  23. Advice Needed on Gaining Experience

    Brookelin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off I'd like to start by saying that I am THRILLED to have found this place. I've been doing nothing but surfing AN all week (plus doing homework, of course) and I'm feeling a lot more...

  24. Bio 156 Rio Salado

    Brookelin replied to cami9273's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I also found that the online resources from the textbook were really helpful too in preparing for the midterm. As long as you review all the material and really grasp what you are learning then you...
