  1. Frustrated with my A&P Professor

    My Instructor does the same thing! She will tell you that something is important and it will be nonexistent. I'm busting my butt and barely holding onto my A-. I wish I had advice for you, but I'm a...
  2. Starting nursing school

    Congrats. The only schools I know that would start then are like career schools. But still.
  3. A&P Exam (Nervous System) Tomorrow

    GOOD LUCK!!!! Tell me how it goes, haha. I'm barely hanging onto a 90 in AP. Unfortunately, me and cat muscles did not go too well(got an 88 on the bones but a 74 on muscles - would have been 95 if...
  4. Phlebotomy training for a Pre-Nursing student

    Honestly, I don't see how certifications in a medical related aspect could be detrimental. I'd say go for it!
  5. Who else is waiting for Fall 2014 acceptance?

    So we're still in the waiting game! Jealous of those who could apply, I can't wait! So far, I'm finishing up AP 1, and Micro. Next semester, I'm retaking English 1, History, and finishing AP 2. Oh,...
  6. A Prereq In Progress When Applying?

    It really depends on the school. You'd have to check with your school to see if it's ok. However, I'm sure they won't mind. Mine allows you to have pre reqs in progress as long as they are over by the...
  7. Learning anatomy terms

    Yes. I would say so. I would think learning the muscular system, and skeletal system would help a lot. I wish that I would have done this
  8. Taking CNA Course in Spring

    Hi there! I'm enrolling into my Spring CNA course and was wondering if anyone had some useful tips? I've never really done anything like this, and was just wondering what to expect. I know that it's...
  9. What are you thankful for?

    I'm thankful that I have the will to continue with my pre requisites no matter how hard I feel they
  10. HESI and TEAS exams?

    From what I've understood they might be slightly similar in subject matter, but I've heard that the TEAS test is more difficult than the HESI. Though, that's just what I've heard. I've not taken...
  11. What is anatomy and physiology like?

    Oh gosh, Anatomy and Physiology...it's not that the material is impossible to grasp, but it's extremely time consuming. For a while there, I got about 55 hours a week of studying. You cannot just...
  12. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    I'm doing alright. She has me down as having an 86.5, but when you add in the quizzes(she hasn't yet) I have a 91. So an A-. OI! This class is definitely a butt kicker. I have my third exam next week,...
  13. If you have kids, when do you study?

    I have two children, 3 and 15 months. I'm not single, but I'm soon to be. When I have the kids by myself, I do my best to preoccupy them so I can study. Even if I get up every so often, it's better...
  14. Buying New books from Amazon?

    Not nursing books, but I've bought ALL of my books from Amazon in the years i've gone to college. :) I think as long as ISBN is the same, you should be ok.
  15. Will these classes be too much together?

    Personally, this sounds like too much. I don't think it's doable. However, you're the only person who will know what you can or can't do.
  16. Fall '14 Applicants!!!

    I'm applying to quite a few places. Still have some pre reqs to finish next semester, which is going to be crazy! But here are my schools; Truckee Meadows Community College Western Nevada College...
  17. Nursing to Med School

    I've heard it can be an alright option, but you're looking at a lot of pre reqs for pre med to do while in nursing. When I was going to the hospital a lot the nurses always loved the doctors that...
  18. Overwhelmed..

  19. Overwhelmed..

    So I'm in the process of taking AP1, and Micro. I was doing really really well, until the last exam. Now, there's five weeks left, and I'm beginning to realize something. I don't think I'm capable of...
  20. Overwhelmed..

    I just am not doing all that well, and I keep doing worse and worse it seems. On our last exams, I thought I did GREAT in micro, and ended up with an 82. Thought I did at least a B in AP, and got a...
  21. What's your good news?

    Mine would be getting A's in all my classes this
  22. Feel like giving up on nursing...HELP!

    You and I are pretty similar. For one, my college GPA is a 2.76, not great at all. I feel for you on feeling like you're not good enough because of that. As for Micro, have you tried talking to your...
  23. I got in! Spring '14!!

    Congratulations!!!
  24. Stuck..AP Related

    I'm not really sure what to do right now, as I am really stressed out about AP. I'm doing great in Micro, but just cannot seem to catch a break in AP. I took an exam on Monday, and I felt really...
  25. 3 Science classes, will it be too much?

    I have had many instructors tell me that you shouldn't try to take more than 2 science classes that have labs together, because it's too much information. However, you might be able to pull it off....
