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 a break this semester. (He passed away at the beg...

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 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try again' thi...

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 that time, he neglected to tell us it was stage 4. ...

Tomorrow, 8/16. Last semester of pre-reqs!!!

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 information I have ever tried to learn/memorize. I'd be ju...

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. I can even annotate those pictures!! I save them ...

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!!! :)

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 semester of pre-reqs. A&P is hard, and requir...

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 use Evernote penultimate if you do better writing b...

Kml0807-- hiiiii!!! I'm good, preparing for A&PII, studying for CNA, and TEAS... What's been going on with you???

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 you!!

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 would be worth retaking it, especially if they will l...

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 school. I was able to register on the sixth, and had ...

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, and yesterday, I logged in to just double check thi...

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

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 believe that has had a positive impact on my expe...

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 free or cheap) I have been able to have my notes,...

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 to be a nurse, and his response sickened me. He sa...

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 for my program, must be a licensed CNA on the stat...

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 then, if I am accepted (decisions are based on points...

I got an iPad in the middle of this semester... It has helped me to connect more with the info.. Rather than frantically writing my notes, I am able to type them... I have been using Evernote, paired with skitch,my notes can include model photos, qui...

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 either volunteer as a CNA or work part time as a CNA...

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 consists of ten people. Yup. And this is the norm a...

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 happening. I also travel a LOT and while I had a nook ta...

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 them... A few classmates have gotten one after seeing...
