  1. A&P I Spring 2013

    My class must be moving slow. We are just now covering metabolism. My class is extremely tired of cellular and chemistry info. They want to jump right into the good stuff. It's killing the class gpa for sure. What chapters are you on? I've seen skin ...
  2. Should I buy a pathophysiology text?

    Check out dealsoz.com. It searches all the used sites like alibris, amazon, B&N and more all at once.
  3. RN's, please share your opinion

    Ouch! I would keep looking for another school. That's just me.
  4. A&P I Spring 2013

    Got our grades back today. Professor prefaced with "these are the worst test scores I have ever seen." then he went around the room asking how much everyone studied. He saved me for last. I made the highest in the class with an 87.5 but after adding ...

    I'm 29 as well. Just getting started.
  6. Rn-bsn question which college type?

    I already have my bachelors. I've completed my masters coursework even. Now I'm changing paths to nursing. Both previous degrees were science degrees. I have a few classes to take like human growth and development, general psychology, pharmacology, ...
  7. Yayyyy! I've been accepted into nursing school.

    Yay. I'm on the other side of things. I would like to be a cna but have to get in nursing school and take the first semester class to become certified. Our red cross doesn't offer that class near me. What did you have to dI to become a cna?
  8. How far do you commute to school?

    35 minutes for me but the other options are 1.5 hours, 45 minutes and another at 1.5 hours. Only one with night and weekend program is the 35 minute one and closer so thats my cheapest option. I could do the accelerated bsn with the longer drive but ...
  9. Where To Apply?

    University of tn has a great accelerated and regular bsn program. I can say that the university of ms one doesn't look nearly as appealing.
  10. Working and nursing school?

    I worked 23 hours a week during high school. Junior college and my final portion of senior college. The other part of senior college I was employed full time ( nearly two years). I also worked full time during my masters degree courses. Now I'm back ...
  11. prerequisites cost.

    A full time student at Holmes community college is $975 per semester I believe. I'm not full time at the moment and only including school fees. Books averaging $400 per semester. Other than that our credit hour fee is similar to what was mentioned ab...
  12. Rough Draft of Nursing Admission Essay-Feedback? :)

    After spending much time with the. This sounded slightly awkward to me. After spending a significant amount of time with them. That sounds better to me. I would read more but I'm on a study break. Good luck!
  13. UMC NICU

    When looking for a place to stay please be careful! I don't know how long you haves lives in ms but the crime rate in Jackson has been rising steadily. I would suggest looking at locations a touch north such as Madison. Every time I have attended a h...
  14. ITT Tech RN program?

    I saw a commercial for them today and laughed. They were advertising their scholarship program. Amazing how proud of themselves they are.
  15. Should I stay with my parents or move closer to the campus?

    I also agree with staying home. Just to point out a few small things. 1. You don't have to take time out to go grocery shopping. 2. You don't have to keep the entire house clean and stop to pay important bills. 3. Your parents cook dinner each night ...
  16. Failed first Anatomy 1 Exam ....Depressed.

    Wow at 7 chapters. I'm in night classes and have covered chapters 1 & 3. Plus maybe 4 lab exercises. We go back and cover chapter 2 after our test on Thursday evening. Our teachers goal is to cover the first 10 chapters in A&P 1 and the next ...
  17. First A&P Exams...Let's hear it!

  19. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    Around $4000 before books at my school in ms.
  20. GPA and major?

    I suggest going about things in reverse slightly. Make an appointment with the senior college and visit with advisors in each area your interested in. Tell them you will be starting at a junior college in a certain program and are curious as to what ...
  21. A&P I Spring 2013

    My exam got pushed back as well. Instead of being this Thursday it will be the next. We weren't able to finish covering all of our basic cell biology this past Thursday evening by 9:30 and I guess he was getting a few glazed over eyes in the class so...
  22. career change.. What should I do?

    I would just retake prerequisite classes you need a better grade in. 15 classes is too many.
  23. soon to be nurse need advice

    There are many government programs that can assist with your situation. My cousin had just turned 18 and found herself in your situation with twins. The government paid for day care, cell phone, and medical for the babies while she is a full time stu...
  24. A & P flash cards or study guides?

    I'm a quizlet flash card stalker too :)
  25. Does my Pre-nursing schedule sound fair?

    The second schedule would make you more appealing. Take anything medical oriented you could. Look into the other medical programs and see if you could add anything from them like medical terminology or something from surgical tech division. You could...
