  1. Why nursing?

    loriinmd replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    There are a whole host of reasons why I'm doing this. I think people are fascinating and I love being around them. I love pure science. I have always been the kind who nurtures (others before...

  2. Why nursing?

    loriinmd replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    I would post this as a separate question and not as a response to someone else's

  3. Nerves setting in

    loriinmd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start back on the 29th and admit I'm getting a little nervous. Well...a LOT nervous. LOL It's not like I've been out of school for a long time. It's only been a year or so since I finished my...

  4. Nerves setting in

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

    Thanks, x-factor!!! I'm trying very hard to be positive. Doing a lot of Louise Hays affirmations. LOL If you don't know her, she's very inspirational. I am an organizer and organizing things...

  5. How do you fellows study?

    loriinmd replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    - Quick read of the assigned chapter(s) before class. If I have time (like now), I'll do a rough outline of the chapter while I'm reading. - Record the class and take notes - Listen to the lecture...

  6. Feline Dissection

    loriinmd replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This probably isn't the first time you're going to come up against something that upsets you. I had a medical research fellowship while I was an undergrad at a cancer research center. When I started...

  7. Who started studying yet?

    loriinmd replied to ImDaMan11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a Micro book on my Kindle and started reading it. But I got slowed down by the holidays and getting sick. Ugh. I haven't gotten my textbooks yet. I will get them this week and start...

  8. A&P I and Microbiology at the same time?

    loriinmd replied to middle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is a different animal from Micro and hard is subjective. It's just very difficult to say if you'll have trouble taking both. It depends on what kind of student and learner you are and how...

  9. A&P I Spring 2013

    loriinmd replied to meeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me, too. A&P I, Micro and Human Development...and working full-time. I'm going to be insanely

  10. What kind of nurse do you want to be?

    loriinmd replied to MeekaNichole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call me crazy, but at the fine age of 61 when I graduate, I want to be a Trauma nurse. Don't stick me in some doctor's office doing a 9-5. I want adrenalin rushes and learning something new every...

  11. Pursuing my nursing career at 37. Words of wisdom needed!

    loriinmd replied to Katieon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sweetie, I turn 58 next week and I'm pursuing my dreams. If I can do it, so can

  12. Taking Anatomy and Microbiology

    loriinmd replied to juliatina18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's totally possible for a focused and organized student. As an undergrad, I took Micro, Physical Chemistry and Calculus in the same semester. Yes, I was a full-time student then, better...

  13. General Eds... pre-nursing student... am I crazy?!

    loriinmd replied to averyivyj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing I plan on doing is getting a white board (dry erase) to put on the wall of my study at home. I plan on keeping track of what's coming up and deadlines so that's it right in my face. I'll...

  14. Anyone have experience with online Bio courses?

    loriinmd replied to sydney0214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school I talked to said they would not accept online science courses with a lab component. Yes, your class includes a lab but schools don't consider those labs equivalent to the ones at a brick...

  15. My Plan - Is it the wisest choice?

    loriinmd replied to cyberia81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only tell you what my situation and decision was. I have a B.S. in biology which was started eons ago and completed in 1995. My school is having trouble giving me student loans while I am not...

  16. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    loriinmd replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ummmm...I finally got my B.S. when I was 38. Went to law school (sooooo not for me). Now I'm re-taking my science pre-reqs and I'm 57!!! What's "old?" I don't recognize that

  17. Recording lectures

    loriinmd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to record my lectures in A&P and Micro so I can play them back when I'm commuting to/from work (sometimes 45 min one way). What recorder can I get so I can put the recording on my iPhone...

  18. Recording lectures

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

    Thanks everyone! I'm going to try an iPhone app. And hopefully I can find a place to sit near an outlet so I can let that sucker charge at the same

  19. Advanced prep for A&P and Micro

    loriinmd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking both of these classes this Spring and while I'm waiting for them to begin at the end of January, I'd like to get a little jump on things. I haven't purchased my textbooks yet and likely...

  20. Advanced prep for A&P and Micro

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

    Excellent resource!

  21. Advanced prep for A&P and Micro

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

    Good idea! I'll do this. Thanks. I uploaded a Micro Made Easy book on my Kindle and am reading that before bed at night. I'm less worried about Micro than I am about A&P. My specialty as an...

  22. Taking anatomy, physiology, and human development. Organization tips??

    loriinmd replied to olivia18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ooooo, good idea.

  23. Microbiology spring 2013

    loriinmd replied to ccusick0408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be taking both this spring. These are repeats for me because my credits are from over 10 years ago but hopefully some of it will come back. I'd like to start prepping this next month. Any...

  24. My PC doc said she'd make as much as a public school teacher???

    loriinmd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw my PC doc this morning and she tells me her contract is up with the group she's with and she's not sure if they will renew. They want to cut her salary. She said she's considering (a) nursing...

  25. My PC doc said she'd make as much as a public school teacher???

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

    No, she's an M.D. and she's my primary care. I was shocked when she said this. Yes, it's a small practice group and I'm sure she works there because she has regular hours (she's a single mom) but...
