  2. What 2 science classes would you take?

    Halcyonn replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Die in a fire? But, seriously... If your A&P II is heavy on the physiology I would think biochem would lend itself nicely to things like the gas exchange, electrolyte imbalances, etc. portions...

  3. Have you ever caught someone cheating?

    Halcyonn replied to TipToeLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Write an anonymous letter stating what you saw take place. It's incumbent upon the instructor to watch for cheating during an exam. Hopefully your letter is a wake up call for

  4. Should I take Microbiology and Human Anatomy & Physiology I in class or online?

    Halcyonn replied to spellma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P and micro-biology are intense classes and I think that you will miss out on valuable learning experiences if you don't take the class in-person with the lab. Under the most ideal...

    Halcyonn replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took three classes last summer--micro, A&P I and philosophy. I would not recommend doing that. I squeaked by.. Why not take your dev. psy or humanities this

    Halcyonn replied to iono101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry and I understand why you are upset. But, you have come this far, why give up now? Definitely call the nursing department and ask to talk to an adviser. They will typically tell you why...

  8. Case Study diagnosis website needed.

    Halcyonn replied to ranau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's the same book that I used in microbiology there should be a list of "suspects" at the end of each unit/chapter. I would research those conditions and see which ones match up with your case...

  9. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    Halcyonn replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I may have an idea of what is tripping you up. Mainly because we just covered this in my A&P class and the exact same thing was tripping me up, too! :) When the body is reabsorbing...

  10. can you guys help me work this out (a&p II experiment re: NaCl intake & aldosterone)

    Halcyonn replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think about hyponatremia--which is caused by administering too much hypotonic solution. (over-hydration) How does hyponatremia affect the blood's osmolarity? Which direction will the water move? How...

  13. What class to take with Chemistry?

    Halcyonn replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a toss up really. My Dev. Psy class was not difficult in terms of grasping concepts/theories, but it was reading and writing intensive. I devoted a ton of time to reading text and...

  14. How Many Classes?

    Halcyonn replied to jennaroo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Study time?

    Halcyonn replied to Austincb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Humanities help needed.

    Halcyonn replied to dltorres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What makes you think that an online class will be any less demanding? I have dedicated just as much time to my online classes as I have to any of my in-person classes. Honestly, I would say the...

  20. How to choose ADN program

    Halcyonn replied to Rfrog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
