I use an app on my iPhone called SuperNote. It's fabulous, and you can type in your own notes as well into it. I have recorded over 20 entire lectures last semester with no problem. It's great!

I start on the 29th and I'm just kinda stressed about it, and I hope my professors are good. There was one I was looking to take in particular, but they listed every professor's name for each section as "Staff". Grr I hate that! :-( Good luck to everyone taking A&P this semester! May the force be with us! LOL.

I intend to go into orthopaedic surgery after medical school (I've had four joint surgeries in 10 years, so you can see why I would choose it!). I want to specialize as an orthopaedic nurse as well. What specialty are you interested in after your M.D.? Good luck to you too!

I agree. Next semester I want to dedicate my time to A&P; memorization is easy for me but I still want to monopolize my time on it, because it is something I will need my entire nursing career, and for medical school as well (my ultimate goal, hopefully). I'll take it this spring, with the "fluff requirements" they make you take like Speech Communication, English 102, and some type of art or dance class (which I find to be unnecessary in nursing. I get it is to be "well-rounded", but my time could be so much better spent elsewhere). Then I just keep my fingers crossed for clinical in the fall! Good luck to you! :-)

EN 101 - English Composition I LF 112 - French II (I am fluent so it should be easy) SS 310 - Sociology SS 510 - Psychology I wanted to take A&P I this semester too, but was recommended not to and to wait until next semester, since I am taking three of four of my preclinical reqs now, and A&P is the last. I need at least a 3.0 to be considered, and I want a total kick orifice GPA :-)

I was thinking of taking A&P I, English, Sociology, & psychology this semester, and those are all four of the preclinical requirements I need. I may be able to apply to the spring clinical program, as opposed to waiting for the fall. I haven't been in school for five years (I went to Rutgers), so I'm not sure if all of that is a good idea or not? It's either that or switch A&P and take French II, and I am fluent in that so it will be pretty easy. If I do take those preclincals all this semester, I have to get at least a 3.0 to even be considered for clinical. I also would need to take the entrance exam in late October. What does everyone think? Go for it or save A&P for next semester, and since I'll have my other three preclinical classes out of the way I could take light classes to concentrate on it, or do it all in one swing? I'm so torn! LOL.

I am going to Queensborough Community College, and intend to get my BSN at Hunter College because the two have a joint program. I am also planning on going to medical school, and I already took my pre-med requirements at Rutgers. Rutgers is a fabulous school, and they have a great nursing program. I think who cares if you're 42, just go for it! I hear about a lot of 85 and 90 year olds going back to school and earning their bachelors, so I'm sure you can do it :-) As I found out and is a motto of the Marine Corps, "your mind can always win over your body" :-)

I'm starting out for an R.N. program at the local community college then transfer to get my BSN at the school they have a joint program with. I already have my BS from Rutgers, but I know I will have to retake some of the prereq classes over again, because if I took any of the classes over six years ago, they won't transfer ? I already signed up for English, Psychology, and Sociology as the prereqs, but Anatomy & Physiology I seems to be full/almost full, which worries me, because my advising date is on the 17th. I think it's ridiculous because I went to Rutgers with 50,000 students, and we never had advising, we just found out what we had to do and did it. But I just hope I can finagle the advisor into squeezing me into an A&P class, because otherwise that may set me back a whole semester! We shall see...I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as well as for everyone else!
