    How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    zoe92 replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope you are not old! I am the youngest one in my A & P class (I'm 20). Most people are early 30s & either switching careers or doing college for the first

    zoe92 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I am a Maryland student living w/ my parents & drive about 50 mins (on a good day) to my community college. Once I get into a BSN program I will get an apartment within a 10 mile radius of the...

    A's in Science, B or C+ in stats. Accelerated worthy?

    zoe92 replied to lolads85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not familiar with the schools but I think you should go ahead and apply. Your science classes' grades are high which is excellent. I say go for

    When do you give up?

    zoe92 replied to bravera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't give up. You pick up the pieces and continue on and you continue to try your hardest. My biggest recommendation is to try and apply to multiple programs. I am at a community college taking...

    TEAS V and school policy

    zoe92 replied to GivingLove's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That isn't the norm. I know some school will require you wait a little bit (maybe a month) before you retake it but I've never heard of them making you wait until the next version comes

    Winter Break

    zoe92 replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    Thanks to hurricane Sandy, my semester got extended by a week :/ So my last final is Dec 17 (talk about harsh). But for break, I will be sleeping, visiting my Air force S/O who is stationed 2 hours...

    Worth it to retake A&P 1 and 2?

    zoe92 replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    I would settle for the B in A & P 1 but if you get a B- in A & P 2, retake it and aim for that

    I would spread all those classes over 3 semesters (including summer) insead of trying to cram it into 1 regular semester & the summer. Pathophysiology shouldn't be terrible, but pairing it with an...

    C in Chemistry?!?!?!?

    zoe92 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think most schools are more concerned with your A & P or biology grades. I made a C in chemistry (because it's much harder for me than biology classes) & I'm not stressed about it since the...

    Getting C's in Science Courses

    zoe92 replied to PhyliciaJane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you get two B's (one in anatomy, one in physiology), that should bring up the C average. I would recommend taking them as your only class or with a much easier class, that way you can spend your...

    Advanced prep for A&P and Micro

    zoe92 replied to loriinmd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everything samsilva said. Is there any way you can email the teachers and ask for a copy of their syllabi? I think that would help because you would know what chapters/concepts to cover on your

    What 2 science classes would you take?

    zoe92 replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would pair it with biochem. I really don't recommend any sort of anatomy or physiology w/ micro. Yes I know people have done it but I would rather postpone applying for a semester just so I would...

    Help me please :(

    zoe92 replied to angclaibourn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go straight for BSN. It's technically not longer if you want your BSN and it is a straight path to follow. Good

    A few questions?

    zoe92 replied to Lissy095's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will most likely not study those in anatomy, except if your professor randomly brings it up like mine sometimes does (example: we learned the eye anatomy today and she mentioned conjunctivitis)....

    I'm on the waitlist for ADN program at 2 schools, how can I better prepare myself?

    zoe92 replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend staying current and familar with your A & P. All the A & P textbooks by Elaine Marieb are great and you could purchase an older version (the latest will drop down in...

    Question about becoming a nurse

    zoe92 replied to ksuheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    zoe92 replied to CAPina1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
