  6. Help with RN school prerequisites

    You need to speak to an advisor at your school, preferably the one for pre nursing /nursing students. Every school is different. Some classes, like Microbiology require A&P first. Some colleges...

  8. First A&P test

    I got a 139/150. Or a 93. Woot Woot! I'm not gonna lie, the smart ass in me is slightly disappointed but I know that's really stupid because I think I got the highest grade in our class. Now off to...
  9. Flashcards

    I hate them. As much as its key tool for so many people I actually cannot bring myself to study with them. According to VARK I am at least 50% read/write and writing them out helps a little but I hate...
  10. Flashcards

    Once I get into nursing school I think it *may* become more of a necessity because there is so much information. And online flashcards annoy me even more than handwritten ones, I tried Quizlet and the...

    I have my first test this Tuesday (professor fell a little behind). I'm only a little nervous, it's the first 4 chapters. I'm much more nervous for how much quicker the pace is going to be AFTER the...
  16. tablet for class

    I dont think the 2 vs 3 is going to have a HUGE impact. Is the $$ at all a consideration? Also before you buy make sure any e-books or programs you wish to run or will use often are compatible. I was...
  17. Take Intro to Bio or AP out of it?

    I think it depends on what everyone else mentioned. Will it postpone your application into the nursing program? Is getting in sooner a priority for you? How confident are you in understanding science?...
  18. I need someone's help

    If/when I get into my nursing program for Spring 2015 after my first semester I plan to challenge the CNA/aide test to become certified. A few of the hospitals around me hire aids so that's my way of...
  19. Dealing with Judgmental Co-Workers

    I would say well then it's a good thing you are not going into nursing, but that doesn't bother me. Or you could just ignore it. Don't let it phase you, once you start your nursing programs you'll...

  23. recommendation letters

    Does your school even accept them? Mine doesn't. I highly doubt that someone is going to offer to write a bad letter on purpose. If you do need one, take

    I think you'll have better luck if you post in the Pre Nursing
  25. Confused
