  1. Final Grades for Fall'12

    sjtrk replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CONGRATS!!! Awesome accomplishment! I also ended my semester with a 4.0. Trying to enjoy it while I have it because I barely made the A in my A&P 1 now on to A&P 2 next semester and hoping I...

  2. Apply now or wait until next year???

    sjtrk replied to manda1124's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would wait a year. You can't get back the time when your kids are little, and so much happens in their first year. For me personally, I wouldn't want to miss out on any of that or be...

  3. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

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

    I took it with English Comp and Math. It's ALOT of study time. I probably spent a good 30 hours a week studying. I have 5 kids so it's not a fair comparison for me to give but on my schedule with all...

  4. Last Year of Pre-req's!!!!

    sjtrk replied to EJ_81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I'm on my last semester too, I will apply next semester for *hopeful* fall 2013. I did purchase a skull from my book store for $15 on a suggestion from my doctor (who happened to be doing...

  5. Having a GED

    sjtrk replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope! I have my GED and had my choice of two Universities and CC. I chose CC for two reasons, one it's cheaper and two all I want is my ASN right now. However I could go for my BSN with it if and when...

  6. Taking anatomy, physiology, and human development. Organization tips??

    sjtrk replied to olivia18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh this just reminded me, I took photos and video of the models too. That was very

  7. Taking anatomy, physiology, and human development. Organization tips??

    sjtrk replied to olivia18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a very visual learner so what's worked best for me is writing. Lots and lots of writing. I write in the sequence things happen (for the physiology part) and for my lab practices I write to get my...

  8. To have a baby or not to have a baby

    sjtrk replied to MamaD0719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 5 kids now and started on my pre req's over the past summer. I purposely waited until I was done having kids and they were all in school full time because there was no way I could attend school...

  9. Can a teacher do this?

    sjtrk replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our college has a message board with info on teachers and classes and I'm SO thankful for them! The original teacher I had for my A&P 1 has horrible reviews and basically teaches like the OP is...

  10. choosing a school for nursing

    sjtrk replied to kvcuddles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're very welcome! You can take your TEAS whenever you want but it can't be more than 3 months prior to applying I do believe. Most people wait until they've at least had A&P 1; however, some...

  11. No-one to a Someone.

    sjtrk replied to MrsGirlyHurley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a firm believer in that if you want something bad enough, you CAN do it. Sometimes it takes help from extra study time, tutors, losing sleep and yes even sacrificing precious time away from your...

  12. Stressed, worried, confused

    sjtrk replied to MamaD0719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't give give up just yet. Just because a few had an average high GPA doesn't mean everyone did. : ) I have 5 kids ages 5-14 with a husband who works a swing shift (so he's gone 12 hours out of...

  13. choosing a school for nursing

    sjtrk replied to kvcuddles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know where you live but I go to Ivy Tech in Ft Wayne and there's no such thing as a wait list there. You either have enough points to earn a seat or you don't. It's simple, there is so many...

  14. Pre-Nursing and trying to come up with Plan B

    sjtrk replied to onetallgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know where you're at, but my nursing advisor at Ivy Tech in Ft Wayne, IN told me they are going to be phasing out their LPN degree because the hospitals around here aren't hiring anymore new...

  15. Need advice on what classes to take

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

    Thank you both for your advice! I really appreciate it! Until this year, I had been out of school for 15 years, so trying to decide what I should do hasn't been easy. I'm currently in A&P 1...

  16. Need advice on what classes to take

    sjtrk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I'm trying to decide which co-req classes to take. I'm hoping some who have taken these can let me know which ones are really hard for someone who doesn't always do well with science (mainly...

  17. P before A

    sjtrk replied to LoneCowboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how different classes are from school to school but you should be fine. Physiology is looking at how the body works at a cellular level and the anatomy portion is (at least at my school...

  18. A&P 2 Spring 2013

    sjtrk replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be taking A&P 2 next semester as well! I'm actually getting really excited. I wasn't sure what I was in for with A&P 1 since it's been 15 years since I was in school, but today I...

  19. Almost done w/fall

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

    Ick So glad I don't have chemistry. Chem and I just do not get along! I'm ecstatic! Only 3 more weeks of classes left for me. Only big hurdles is really A&P, math and English comp should be easy...

  20. best anatomy and physiology aid?

    sjtrk replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love it too! I don't know how those do it without it because the one week I didn't have time to study with it like I normally do I only got a 76 on my exam! Eeeek!

  21. Anyone starting in Fall 2013?

    sjtrk replied to Lolita34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally feel you! My advisor told me to quit being so hard on myself and start celebrating the victories as they come (meaning each test I do well on) but its hard for me to do that. I feel like...

  22. Anyone starting in Fall 2013?

    sjtrk replied to Lolita34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a Fall 2013 hopeful! I take my TEAS V in Jan, app deadline is April 1 and should know by May 30th. I've been a crazy nervous wreck all semester. I'm currently taking a math, A&P 1, and English...

  23. best anatomy and physiology aid?

    sjtrk replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My A&P book came with a code to access mastering A&P online. That has been my saving grace. It has practice quiz's and practice tests. Also has games to help with lab practicals. I don't know...

  24. What others classes can I take for nursing school?

    sjtrk replied to msnursecp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking advanced physiology after I finish A&P 2. My nursing advisor suggested it. She said if I can get through that class with a good comprehension that it will make nursing school a bit...

  25. Need to vent-scored a 70...

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

    Try not to beat yourself up too bad. I did the same thing on my last A&P 1 test, I'd had all 90's on lecture exams and all 100% on lab practicals and quiz's and then bam, a 76. I did the same...
