  1. Does going to a "top-rated" nursing school really make a difference?

    dt70 replied to pantherfan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Top-rated studying would be worth more. If top-rated schools offered 'phone a friend' , after employment to offset average studying may be worth something.

  2. I'm terrified I won't get into nursing school

    dt70 replied to rgs66040's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does a local community college near you have a partnership with your university for a bsn? You can apply there and take their nursing entrance exam. It will be less competitive and in-between the...

    dt70 replied to rdl48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While getting 'old', I had enough time to save up cash instead of using loans for school.

  4. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    dt70 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sadly I can't delete my post. Within one school a minimum to achieve an A is 90,92, and 97. A 'B' can be 80, 84, 87. A third class get's extra credit after every test, and ends up with a 119%. A...

  5. Note Taking??

    dt70 replied to amanda1102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    User recorder. Don't let note taking interfere with paying attention. If something confusing, or too much info at once, only write down the time on the recorder display, and continue paying...

  6. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    dt70 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I received an A in all of my classes. Some of the 'easy' ones had lots of challenges. One's that seemed impossible to pass I was able to excel, fall hard, and struggle back. One's that did not as...

  7. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

  8. How to get an A in A&P

    dt70 replied to MizMaverick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) Flash Cards 2) Elaboration. Make it funny. Like this 3) Teach it to someone. They don't need to understand it. If no one available, teach it to your dog. If it doesn't run away, give it a...

  9. A&P textbook in hardcover or loose leaf?

    dt70 replied to LadyLamp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Loose Leaf. Put front half in 2" binder and the back half save away for the second semester. Add the whole book and a medium textbook plus coloring book and pencils in a backpack, it gets

    dt70 replied to forestlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Is a 'B' in A&P a deal breaker

    dt70 replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks. Lab was last day before holiday. I will speak to someone at school about grades after holiday. Keeping 4.0 would have been nice, but loosing grasp of 'A' in anatomy has me upset, considering...

  12. Is a 'B' in A&P a deal breaker

    dt70 replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would loose 5 bonus points, a 6% drop from 88 bonus points. I have all A's with 24 credits total, not including A&P. If everyone else applying has 'A's in anatomy, not that encouraging prospects...

  13. Learning anatomy terms

    dt70 replied to caylalane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do nothing. Party why you still can! :) Your class may require a specific coloring book. Wait till class starts for that, maybe. You usually can't purchase books through financial aid until just...

  14. Should I change my undergrad major or do an accelerated BSN program?

    dt70 replied to ahoadley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Continuing 2 years to get a degree in a field you think you no longer want then enter an ABSN program doesn't sound like fun. Your probably taking 21 credits now. How about taking a CNA class in the...

  15. End of semester stress

    dt70 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with you on that. Looking forward to a break. Have above 98% in all classes but one. Last class 1/2% off from A or 3% above, strange grading method. Many chances to edge it up (or

  16. End of semester stress

    dt70 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If nursing school only accepted people who only got A's in every class, finding a parking spot in the morning would be a whole lot

  17. I want to become a nurse but my gpa is low

    dt70 replied to jwhn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My opinion is drop micro and pass anatomy with a C. Re-access your studying. Go to YouTube and do search on "how to take lecture notes". Watch the video from the guy from long beach city college....

  18. Buying New books from Amazon?

    dt70 replied to emde's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought a book from school bookstore for $126 using financial aid. Sold it to Chegg for $95. Don't have to pay back financial aid until 2 years. School bookstores are a rip off. Especially those...

  20. Taking Pre-Reqs Question

    dt70 replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BIO 110 may have enough chemistry to help you with A&P . I suggest BIO 101 & 110 together before A&P I. Then chemistry either with A&P I or after it. Taking a lower level bio &...

  21. 3 Science classes, will it be too much?

    dt70 replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check when the nursing program applications are due. If it's due before spring classes are over, whatever you take in spring will not count towards next fall's entrance. In that case, might as well...

  22. Can't stay awake

    dt70 replied to futurebclpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's good advice. At home you go into crash mode. At home take breaks every 30 minutes that include exercise. Think of exercise as fuel for your body like those hand crank generators. No action...

    dt70 replied to trew1020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my family members has celiac & diabetes. They wear an auto pump and you would not even notice it. I'm not sure if nursing requires you to eat certain foods. Just like being allergic to...
