  1. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Idiosyncratic replied to MadeInDetroit85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok this might be a little lengthy, but I'll do my best to make it brief. I've wanted to become a nurse for a long time. At least, the desire was always there, along with fear pounded into my head by...

  2. Who's ready for tomorrow?!

    Idiosyncratic replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm definitely nervous, but feeling pretty good. Looked at our roster and there's 6 of us doing AP 1 and Micro this semester. I have AP 1 at 9:30 in the morning, and I'm definitely not a morning...

  3. 4.0 Challenge!

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

    Has anyone already started prepping for the semester? I've read almost 2 chapters of my AP book, and am going to start on my Micro book

  4. A&P 1, Micro, AND a job??

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

    Honestly, it really just depends on what you can realistically handle. If you can handle it, then great! It's all about your time management skills. For me, personally, I want to solely focus on...

  5. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

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

    I'm taking it starting Monday! Terrified, honestly. Only because I'm taking AP 1 as well.

  6. Is everybody ready for fall'13? Good luck everyone

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

    Haha, yours too? The instructor I'm taking Micro and AP for advised me to get a couple chapters ahead in AP. I'm thinking she might be my new buddy for a while, so I can keep my head screwed on. Good...

  7. Anxiety about dissection.

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

    I think my school uses cadavers as well, and we start on Monday. I'm just as nervous about it! lol. The biggest thing I've been trying to tell myself, is to just think of it as science. It's...

  8. Sadness

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

    Ugh I did the same thing in Chemistry. Went from an A- to a B+ because of the final. I was so disappointed. Thought I did so well! But we can try harder to get better grades in next

  9. 4.0 Challenge!

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

    I'm glad I'm not the only one taking AP I and Micro

  10. Need some school opinions please!

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

    I'm making sure to keep up with the reviews, and doing the little ones and the detailed ones. After this, I have a study guide workbook that goes with the chapters.

  11. Need some school opinions please!

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm able to take both Anatomy and Physiology 1 with Microbiology. I'm wondering if any of you have done this? My semester got a little messed up, and I have to find a way to get at least half...

  12. Doing lousy with being a Nurse's Aide

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

    Personally, I think nerves are nerves. The fact that your hands sweat because your nervous is a RIDICULOUS reason to tell you to switch career paths. Sure, you have to change gloves more frequently -...

  13. 5 B's and 1 A...

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

    The only thing I could honestly suggest is find out where your weakness is. Do you need more time to study? Are you not studying in a way that works for you? Do you need to communicate with your...

  14. Need some school opinions please!

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

    Thank you so much. I'm a weirdo when it comes to things. My husband claims I underestimate my ability. Although, if I keep taking notes the way that I have been, I'll be GOOD. Plus, I'm doing all the...

  15. Need some school opinions please!

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

    I've actually looked at the syllabus, and they both go through some things at the same time! I was thinking that would be awesome. Or, they'll be a little behind(AP goes over cells like a week before...

  16. Need some school opinions please!

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

    Eeek, sounds terrifying. I've been starting to have dreams about how scary it is. Doesn't help that I'm on probation for my financial aid this semester, so I have to do well. Ugh. I can do this...

  17. CHEMISTRY.

    Idiosyncratic replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry isn't a walk in the park, but it's definitely doable. Just keep on track, stay ahead, if you get confused ASK FOR HELP! The best thing that anyone could do is going to tutoring, even if you...

  18. Have most of you taken AP with Micro?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first spoke with the counselor she had told me the norm for pre nursing was to take Chemistry, then AP 1, then AP 2 with Micro. However a friend of mine talked to a different counselor, and she...

  20. Need some school opinions please!

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

    Haha, that's kinda funny, is it really that bad? My only paranoia is of the times where I'll have a test one day, to have another the next..

  21. Need some school opinions please!

  22. Is everybody ready for fall'13? Good luck everyone

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

    I was thankful that my AP and Micro instructor actually said as long as I keep up with my work, I'll do just fine. I hope just fine is an A!

  23. Is everybody ready for fall'13? Good luck everyone

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

    I'm pretty much going to be selling my soul to studying, eating, sleeping, and school.

  24. Received the syllabus!....... Holy Cow!

    Idiosyncratic replied to classy923's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have not started yet, one week from tomorrow! :) I just printed my AP 1, and Micro syllabi...and goodness! 11 exams! It's OK we can do this. Are you going to be reading ahead? I thought about doing...

  25. Need some school opinions please!

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

    I originally bought a Grey's Anatomy coloring book, do you think that will work? :) I'm actually really good at memorization, so I'm hoping I do well.
