  1. Any other students who are mothers?

  3. printable anatomy coloring sheets?

    Have you tried looking at google? Or seeing if someone will copy theirs for you? I have the Grey's Anatomy coloring book(the short version, but helps for some minor things), and it's pretty nice. I...
  4. No Longer A Pre-Nursing Student, My Experience

    Thank you! That actually makes me feel a lot better. I was a B student in some of my pre and co requisites, and I get worried. Congrats! Good
  5. Micro Help! What can I do to help myself?

    Honestly, I'm not really sure what you can do. It is concerning that your entire class is failing the class, because that means there's something wrong with the instructor. I'm currently in Micro, and...
  6. Fear of failure

    I feel you in more than one aspect. When I finally decided I wanted to take this seriously, I sacrificed a lot. My husband had to take our son to his chemotherapy treatments three hours away by...
  7. A&P - Bones, Time... Need some Encouragement!

    As others have said; take a deep breath first of all. Now, break things apart. If you can, use the lab skeleton/skull in order to memorize everything. However, if you can't all is not lost. I actually...
  8. Hello, I originally completed English 2 with a B-, but that is definitely not good enough for my school. So I'm forced to retake the class. The only problem is, I was enrolled in it for the Fall, but...
  9. I am currently taking AP 1 with Micro, and it really just depends on your school. I'm not sure what schools in your area will allow you to do so as well, but you'll have to look into that. Just know,...
  10. A&P II with Micro...has anyone done it??

    I'm not taking AP 2 but I am taking AP 1 with micro. It's definitely difficult, but doable. So far I have A's in both courses. It's honestly just about time management. Tuesday and Thursdays are my...
  11. What has been your favorite prerequisite?

    Honestly after some time I actually love
  12. How do you stay motivated..??

    Honestly I get to the point a lot where I want to cry and give up. But then I think of my kids. I think of how badly I want this. I also take breaks. And then I just keep pushing along. You can do...
  13. At my program, no. I don't know anyone who got in with anything less than a B(and usually only a few B's if that). But it depends on the program as to what will be
  14. Severe test anxiety

    Have you tried talking to a counselor? Unfortunately I don't really know many tips to give you, other than google and see what might work. Do you know what's causing your
  15. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    I'm 21 today, doing pre requisites. Hopefully, I'll be 22 when I start the ASN program, and 24 when I graduate.
  16. Something I was thinking about while having a conversation with my husband, and studying for a chemistry exam. How do you prepare for the fact that you might do all of this hard work and possibly not...
  17. Where are you going to school?

    I'm taking classes at Western Nevada College in Carson city Nevada. Hoping to get into their program or Truckee Meadows Community
  18. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

    That is very similar to what I'm going through. I had a 2.67 prior to doing my major pre reqs(sciences and whatnot - retaking poor grades). I feel like I'm busting my butt, but my English teacher is...
  19. A&P - Bones, Time... Need some Encouragement!

    I'm in bones right now too and it's terrifying. We just did tissues this week which was a pain in itself, and now I have Friday-Monday to learn the bones. Honestly, what I've decided is to take the...
  20. Failed. :(

    I would look at some review material and take the test again. Did you have metric conversions down well enough, or fractions? Was there some aspect that you did more poorly on than others? If so, I'd...
  21. 4.0 Challenge!

    Hi everyone! We are 6 weeks in at my school and here are my classes and grades; Microbiology - 95 AP1 - 93 Med Terminology 1 - 100 Med Terminology 2 - 100 English - 88 My English teacher is...
  22. Skull Help - AP 1

    Ok, so I've learned something over the last 48 hours - the skull and I are NOT friends. The mandible, I'm doing pretty good, I've got all those marks down. However, the orbital, and the inside of the...
  23. Skull Help - AP 1

    Unfortunately we have one in the student center, but that's it. :/ Drawing it might be a great idea! Doing it on my husbands head(for the sutures) helps too!
  24. is a 4.0 GPA in prerequisites mandatory for nursing school

    It depends on your school/program. Where i live people are not accepted into the program without a 3.5 or higher gpa. It's a point value though. 3.5 or higher in your pre reqs, and sciences ensures...
  25. Are Prerequisites Flexible?

    It really depends honestly. Usually if it's higher than what they require, you're good to go. However if it's lower, they won't accept it. I'm not sure if fundamentals is lower than what your program...
