  1. How much time do you put into homework and studying?

    megkat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My university (and I'm sure most others) recommends that we spend 3 hours for every one credit studying ( 4 credit class = 12 hours studying and so on). Well I find that I put WAY more time than that...

  2. How much time do you put into homework and studying?

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

    This is what I usually try to do. However for this particular class, the two professors that teach the class co-wrote all FIVE text books for lecture and lab. In our first week we were assigned 4...

  3. First Anatomy Lab

    megkat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man, am I in for a LOOOONG semester. I had my first Anatomy lab last night... we already had our first test and a second one that needs to be taken in the open lab before our next scheduled lab class....

  4. How was everybody's first day of class (Aug 26th)?

    megkat replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I started tonight and had Anatomy lecture. I'm torn... I was expecting much worse, but then again it's only the first class and it's only going to get harder from here. After 3 hours of lecture,...

  5. Staying healthy and going to school.

    megkat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've been trying to better myself both intellectually and physically. When classes start, I find it really hard to fit in a proper workout and studying makes me hungry so I snack a lot more than...

  6. Who's ready for tomorrow?!

    megkat replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    + = me. I don't start till Tuesday, but I CANNOT wait!! I'm so ready for classes to start again and I'm going to kick the crap out of anatomy... I can feel it in my bones! Good luck to everyone...

  7. Be careful not to let people talk you out of your career ambitions

    megkat replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He puts a monetary value on his time with everything he does. For example, he'd rather get take out from a steakhouse for ribs because it's not worth his time to put them in the oven and wait for them...

  8. 4.0 Challenge!

    megkat replied to Technicolourhobo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome idea! I'm keeping it light this semester and taking Anatomy with Lab. I want to give myself the best chance possible to get an

  9. Be careful not to let people talk you out of your career ambitions

    megkat replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a great post! My father-in-law is the kind of guy that lives in the here and now... which is nice and all but he has a really hard time understanding why I'm "wasting" so much time in school....

  10. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    megkat replied to MadeInDetroit85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may make me sound like a schmuck but I'm doing it for me. Plain and simple. It's something I want (and have wanted for a very long time) and I'm chasing my dream. It's been 7 years in the making...

  11. Help...prenursing student here will I get accepted with these kind of gpa's?

    megkat replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These topics are really hard to answer. Every school is different. Like Ashes172 said, make an appointment with a nursing advisor and go over your options. They are the only people that can tell you...

  12. Are energy drinks effective?

    megkat replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I am not a fan of energy drinks. Once in a while I'll have a Monster Rehab but I try to stay away from them as much as possible. The one time I drank a 5 Hour Energy, I literally took a nap for a few...

  13. Anxiety about dissection.

    megkat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm 5 days away from starting my Anatomy class. I was feeling really confidant about the whole dissection thing until today. My university uses cadavers and I'm starting to freak out a little over...

  14. iMac or MacBook!

    megkat replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know there are already a ton of pro-mac/pro-pc posts in this topic, but here are my two cents. I have a MacBook Air... and I LOVE it. It's 4 years old and it's been through hell and back. I've...

  15. CHEMISTRY.

    megkat replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had never taken a chemistry class until this summer. I was also very overwhelmed with the material. It didn't help that I took it in a 7 week semester. Anyway, I ended up with an A- which I was very...

  16. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

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

    I will be working on cadavers. My school is very fortunate to have quite a few donors for us to work on. Is it weird that I'm super excited to get my hands in

  17. Is everybody ready for fall'13? Good luck everyone

    megkat replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck to you too!!! I start Anatomy on the 27th and I am so excited! I know come the 28th after I have seen my syllabus my feelings will be completely different, but I'm going to enjoy the...

  18. A & P flashcards

    megkat replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As much as I love quizlet, I much prefer making my own flashcards. The more I hand write something, the more it sinks in and sticks. I do mine in different colors. Here how: -Bold Terms (blue)...

  19. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    megkat replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We aren't allowed to do this at my school. Our phones have to be turned off, logged by a lab assistant that it is in fact OFF completely, and then stored in a room outside of the lab. I'm a very...

  20. 2014 Applicants

    megkat replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Utah and applying for Fall '14 for the BSN program! I'm so excited I already have my application filled out, just need to take the TEAS and finish my last 3

  21. A spouse that just doesn't get it.

    megkat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So let me start off by saying that my husband is a great guy. He would move heaven and Earth to make sure I'm happy but he just doesn't get it when it comes to school. He has never been to college...

  22. A spouse that just doesn't get it.

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

    All I can say is WOW. You guys are amazing. Ever single post had some really good advice, and I thank you for that. My husband does support me and he has faith that I will succeed, however, he is...

  23. Received the syllabus!....... Holy Cow!

    megkat replied to classy923's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not until the 27th, but be happy that you got your syllabus. My anatomy professor doesn't give them out until the first day of class. So I'm just reading the first few chapters in hopes that he...

  24. I am psyching myself out... someone smack some sense into me

    megkat replied to madelynsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a similar boat. I as well graduate HS in '03 but I did attend college right after in something completely unrelated to nursing. I wasn't able to do my senior year because of financial reasons...

  25. Need advice about a dishonest teacher!!

    megkat replied to ipour14u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder if the OP is being misunderstood. I could be totally off base but maybe the class is being taught LIKE a master's level
