  1. Oh... emmm... geeee....

    goingtothedogs posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This semester cannot be over fast enough. I'm really disappointed in myself. I tried to be strong and stick it out, but I am still grieving my twin brother's passing, and probably should have taken...

  2. Oh... emmm... geeee....

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

    Thanks. I had my final lab practical for A&P 2 yesterday... I feel good about it. I'm just bummed that I let everything get to me and have a negative impact on my education. I guess the whole...

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

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

    Two people. And I'll warn you, I'll probably get mushy. First, my twin brother, Nick. He fought a rare form of colon cancer for the last year, and his suffering was eased last Thursday. Throughout...

  4. When do your fall classes start?

    goingtothedogs replied to destrier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. What Was Your Hardest Topic In Anatomy and Physiology?

    goingtothedogs replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&PI last semester, and for me, the absolute worst thing was neuro. Now, I was fine with most of it... But the pathways... Good lord... Honestly, probably the most involved set of...

  6. Labtop or ipad for nursing school?

    goingtothedogs replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes-- between Evernote, skitch, and penultimate (all provided by Evernote) I'm set. I use skitch to take photos in lab of models, and also to take pictures of useful diagrams and charts from my text....

    goingtothedogs replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finishing my last two pre-reqs this fall and then (insert dramatic pause here) applying for Fall 2014 at Wake Tech. Cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get to it already!!!

  8. Yet another class-pairing question

    goingtothedogs replied to kimmie24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking my last two pre-reqs this fall-- A&PII and micro. Based on my own experience, I (personally, anyway) would suggest taking nutrition with A&PI. You mentioned that this is your first...

  9. need suggestions... laptop or tablet?

    goingtothedogs replied to Jmoran82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has their opinions, and I'm certainly happy to offer mine. . I'm finishing my last two pre-reqs in the fall, and I primarily use my iPad. I take notes in Evernote-- you can type them in OR...

  11. Point system pre-nursing school

    goingtothedogs replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just be sure to call health sciences advising, not jut regular advising-- regular advising can't help health science students. Good luck!!! Crossing my fingers for

  12. Point system pre-nursing school

    goingtothedogs replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to advising-- if you don't want to transfer that course, they might let you just retake it. Psych courses count for double points for us (I'm finishing pre-reqs at wake tech this fall) so it...

  13. Classes filling up?

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

    This happened with my school also. Pre-nursing and nursing students do get early registration, however, we have staggered assigned times based on the number of credit hours we have taken at this...

    goingtothedogs replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wowzas!! I have two pre-requisites to go before I can apply to my program, and thanks to early registration, was able to register today. I had planned everything out, selected my sections weeks ago,...

  15. Possibly moving to NC

    goingtothedogs replied to staugnurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I second that... We've been in Raleigh for three years (almost four) and couldn't be happier to have chosen to live

  16. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    goingtothedogs replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you make an excellent point-- we are more mature and more focused than some of our younger classmates. I know that I am far more level-headed now than I was fresh out of high school, and I do...

  17. Tablet for note taking?

    goingtothedogs replied to DaisyRenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an iPad as well-- I've been a huge Evernote enthusiast since I started back to school last fall-- by installing Evernote, skitch, penultimate, and peek (all Evernote- and I believe they are all...

  18. What sacrifices will you make? / How hungry are you?

    goingtothedogs replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reading your post gave me chills!! That's the kind of passion and dedication I think should be a requirement for all nursing students!! I asked a fellow student (the class know it all) why he wanted...

    goingtothedogs replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome thread!! I'll be 32 in the fall, and the fall semester will be my last semester of pre-requisites. (Yay!!!!). I'll be taking micro and A&PII. This summer I am getting my CNA (requirement...

  20. From Zero to Associate RN or from Preregs to BSN?

    goingtothedogs replied to confusedNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently a pre-nursing student at Wake Tech, and while they SAY the program is a 2 year program, it really isn't. I'll be done with pre-requisites in the fall, will apply to the program, and...

  22. What courses do you plan to take for Fall 2013?

    goingtothedogs replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This summer I'll be self-learning for the CNA- I got the textbook, workbook, and the skills videos for my state. I'll work through those, and when I am ready, will take the exam. After that, I'll...

  23. So sick of A&P

    goingtothedogs replied to Pulley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen. It is definitely a hazing exercise at my school. Everyone is well aware A&P's primary purpose at my school is to weed people out. So far, my class has been reduced by half. My lab now...

  24. Labtop or ipad for nursing school?

    goingtothedogs replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone makes very valid points. I knew before purchasing my iPad that throughout my program, we are allowed to use them. I knew also that carrying my very large laptop back and forth wasn't...

  25. Labtop or ipad for nursing school?

    goingtothedogs replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an iPad and a laptop-- I leave the laptop at home and take my iPad everywhere. Everywhere. My notes are so much more effective as study tools now that I can easily integrate pictures into...
