  1. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've wondered a bit of what we're learning too. Granted, we're only in the second week, but we've gone over prokayotic and eukaryotic cells, and the history. That's about as far as we've gotten. We...

  2. FALL 2013

    Idiosyncratic replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed with the first person, that is definitely a lot to take on. I'm taking AP 1, Microbiology, English 2, Med Term 1, and Med Term

  3. Is a B average really that bad?

    Idiosyncratic replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your program. I know for my program, most people are retaking B's because they didn't get in. A couple B's won't kill you, but a lot will. For us, it's a GPA/point thing....

  4. When is your first A&P test?

    Idiosyncratic replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We've already had a short quiz, which wasn't too bad. First exam is on the 23rd, lab quiz on the 11th, 18th, and 25th..

  5. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone had a quiz yet? We have our first quiz on the microscope on Monday. It's kind of amazing how my instructor is. Very laid back, and comfortable.

  6. How early would you say to start studying?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm currently in AP 1 and Micro, with my application going in next semester. I haven't taken the test yet, of course, but was wondering how early would you all who have done the test say to start...

  7. Did you take a Medical Terminology class?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wondering if this is a normal requirement. One of the nursing programs in our area requires you either take a Medical Terminology class, or take a test. However, the other program does not...

  8. Did you take a Medical Terminology class?

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

    Luckily, the one I'm taking is online, and self-paced. So I've essentially finished it

  9. How much time do you put into homework and studying?

    Idiosyncratic replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I put a ridiculous amount of time into my studies. I'd say at least 4 hours a day, or more. The weekends have been solely dedicated all day to class. I'm taking AP, Micro, English, and Med Term. The...

  10. Have you looked into Career Schools?

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

    Thank you for the advice! I tried to get in once, but thankfully couldn't. Not because it was a bad school, just because of life. Now, I'm curious. I'd knock quite a few thousand dollars off because...

  11. Who has volunteered?

    Idiosyncratic replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm actually working on reapplying to volunteer at our local hospital again. Unfortunately, I was accepted to an orientation, but had problems due to my children. Now, I'm hoping I can at least...

  12. Is it wise?!

    Idiosyncratic replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I really think it depends on your study ethic than anything else. AP is a lot of information, and cramming it into a semester that short might be impossible for some. However, if you can...

  13. What sacrifices have you made for your nursing education?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    So far, and I'm only in prenursing, I've sacrificed time with my kids so I can study/go to school, working a job, having my own house, working, and acting my age.

  14. Who motivates you? Inspires you? Share your stories.

    Idiosyncratic replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. I don't like it when some young parents kind of blame their lack of motivation/life on them. You can do it if you're REALLY motivated. He is doing better, thank you.

  15. First Anatomy Lab

    Idiosyncratic replied to megkat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're lucky! We've been utilizing lab to do more lecture. So it's been..6 hours of lecture a week!

  16. Is three times too many?

    Idiosyncratic replied to vandydani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also agree to do the organic chemistry. I don't know how your program is, but I know out here having EVERY pre-req, or co-req done will put you in a better position than not having it done.

  17. Who motivates you? Inspires you? Share your stories.

    Idiosyncratic replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The person that motivates me most is my son. Going through his cancer diagnosis, and knowing what he had to go through; well if he can handle that before turning a year old, I should be able to handle...

  18. 4.0 Challenge!

    Idiosyncratic replied to Technicolourhobo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So my course changed! AP 1 with lab Micro with lab English 2 Med terminology I will get

  19. Getting nervous...

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

    Well, I just wanted to update you guys. I decided to retake my B-(English 2), since I lost my financial aid due to only taking 9 credits when 12 is a full semester. So that'll be one o my worse grades...

  20. Getting nervous...

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm in AP 1, and Micro so most of our students are prenursing students. Well, we're delving into grades and whatnot. I'm starting to feel moderately screwed. It's not that my grades are HORRIBLE,...

  21. Getting nervous...

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

    Well, we go by points. Even if I get A's in all my classes from now on, I'll be getting 17/19 points. 18-19's are the ones that get in. Which is why I'm paranoid. My school allows you to retake, but...

  22. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How is everyone doing? So far, Micro is really interesting! We're going over the history of Micro, and some of the things are really interesting. Like the spontaneous generation,

  23. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    Idiosyncratic replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How's everyone doing? So far, I LOVE my class. I hate the chemistry review, but am loving the rest of it. My instructor is understanding, detailed, does power point presentations on pertinent(test...

  24. How was everybody's first day of class (Aug 26th)?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going through the first day made me realize that getting an A is definitely achievable. I really like my instructor, and honestly there's just no reason I shouldn't get an A. I was kinda sad we don't...

  25. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    Idiosyncratic replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also starting tomorrow, and I'm terrified. Even with reading 2 chapters ahead(and not planning to get behind); I'm still scared. I was confident at one point.. Now, I'm just praying I don't cry....
