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 myself) and the work I've been in doesn't make me feel ...

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

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 paralegal certification. And I'm a good student. G...

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 (making sure the house is spit-shined before classes, ...

- 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 again and supplement my notes if needed - Type my no...

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 out, my group was working with mice. I didn't ha...

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 studying. Classes start 1/29 for me.

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 you've done with science classes in the past. I ...

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

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 day. I don't wanna slow down one iota! I'll be the ...

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

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 able to focus on my studies but I also worked two par...

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 be working full-time and going to school part-time ...

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 & mortar college.

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 in the clinical program. Therefore I've decided t...

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 word.

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 and then dock in my car to play on the speakers?

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 time!

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 won't until after the holidays. Any ideas on what ...

Excellent resource! Thanks!!

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 undergrad was microbial genetics and I worked in t...

Ooooo, good idea. Thanks!!

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 suggestions on what to do besides making sure my hous...

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 and (b) teaching high school. Since those are the...

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 still...
