  2. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    BoonersmomRN replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Urinary/Fluids/Metabolism test is tomorrow. Do I feel prepared? Nope. Truth is I am having a hard time conjering up the effort between feeling like crud and being burnt out. I have a 97 in the...

    BoonersmomRN replied to Nancy428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Waiting Lists for MD Nursing Program

    BoonersmomRN replied to LadyKLibra's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The Community College of Baltimore County ( Catonsville/Essex) does not have a waiting list BUT it's also highly competitive. If you don't get in you have to reapply the next time around. However, I...

  8. Micro and A&P online?

    BoonersmomRN replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A+P I in the classroom and currently taking A+P II online ( do have on-campus lab). IMHO it all depends on how you learn. If you are a more audio-type learner online classes could be difficult....

  9. A&P II: The Summer '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    BoonersmomRN replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Rate My Professor

    BoonersmomRN replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. I need to vent!

    BoonersmomRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BoonersmomRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! I hear you! Good luck with it...we went over it but we weren't tested on it. Quite frankly I shudder everytime I hear the term "ATP". I was " ATP'd out" at the end of Molecular Bio ( the joke...

  13. Statistics vs A&P

    BoonersmomRN replied to ttgcole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken both IMHO. A+P is harder- AND I didn't even find A+P to be hard ( I finished A+P1 with a 100.1 and am now in A+P 2 with a 98). A+P was a ton of memorizing and understanding...

  14. # of ATPs per 18-Carbon fatty acid

    BoonersmomRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Chemistry or Biololgy?

    BoonersmomRN replied to bethg5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Bio first ( actually haven't taken Chem yet) and yes there is some Chemistry involved but it wasn't anything that I felt I needed Chem for. It was pretty straight forward basic type Chem. My...

    BoonersmomRN replied to fry.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BoonersmomRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Applied, Accepted, Registered for classes- what happens now?

    BoonersmomRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was that for the clinical portion, though? I will have an orientation, too, once I get into clinicals with all that jazz....but for just the pre-reqs there was no book list handed out or anything...

  20. Statistics...how did you survive?

    BoonersmomRN replied to SLH522's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BoonersmomRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    BoonersmomRN replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    Yes very much so. My very good friend was a nurse in CA on a CCU floor for 20 years....I rarely talked to her about work UNTIL I announced I wanted to be a nurse...then she literally was calling me...
