  1. Does Micro + Chem I = Death

    Herrington replied to mrlqn2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Without having to work, I think it'll be more manageable to focus on your classes. I'm taking Chem II and Micro this semester, and I'm doing just fine in both. I've noticed that there's a lot of...

  2. Taking organic/biochem online

    Herrington replied to micheleC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's 4 credits, which tell me that it's 3 hours lecture + 1 hour lab. So the lecture portion might be online, but you may have to go to campus to fulfill the lab portion of the course. It says that...

  3. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

    Herrington replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that, of all the systems, the nervous system proved to be the most challenging. I still did pretty good on it, but when compared to the other systems in A&P 1 and 2, it took the most time...

  4. Worried and confused

    Herrington replied to iridium's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure for where you're at, but for the area that I'm in, your cumulative GPA of all college courses you've ever taken are factored into the application process. For the school I'm looking to...

  5. anxious

    Herrington replied to amazinga921's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to the hospitals in your area and see if they've got any sort of volunteering opportunities available. You should be able to volunteer around the hospital in different areas (and possibly...

  6. Hi seeking advice..

    Herrington replied to studentspring2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I could go back and do my science pre-reqs over (still in them actually, but nearly done), I'd do it in this order: 1. Chem I 2. Chem II + Microbiology 3. Nutrition + A&P I 4. A&P II Then...

  7. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    Herrington replied to TexRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Gotcha, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I think I'm 2 classes away from being able to get an Associate of Biology in Pre-Nursing, but I'd need to take their version of statistics,...

  8. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    Herrington replied to TexRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ah, I see, but UTHSCSA doesn't require Spanish as a pre-req (at least, I don't see it on their site here), so wouldn't I have a little more time to get the transcripts sent in? I'll have all 60 of my...

  9. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    Herrington replied to TexRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow, 1 week after the semester ends? Heh, that's cutting it a bit close, it seems. I actually volunteer at University Hospital during the week, and just had my annual health screen (had to get a TB...

  10. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    Herrington replied to TexRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, haha, understood, no problem! Actually, I do have a question: We need 51/60 hours done by deadline (though I should have all 60), but for those extra hours that I plan on taking, the Medical...

  11. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    Herrington replied to TexRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Guess this is where I check in. This is my last semester of pre-req classes (Chem II and Micro) before I'm done with what's needed, though I'll be taking a Medical Terminology course and an intro...

  12. pre-reqs

    Herrington replied to Analissaoval's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The answers to your questions will vary from school to school. Some require you do the TEAS, some require the HESI. Some want your scores before you apply, and some (I think) will want them at a...

  13. Introducing NursingCAS 3.0

    Herrington replied to learning15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm planning on applying to UTHSCSA as well (Fall 2015). This is my last semester of required courses, but I still need to take the TEAS exam. I actually had nearly everything filled out for...

  14. First A&P test

    Herrington replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nice work! I remember I got a 93 on my first A&P exam as well, haha. Keep it

  15. How to get into Nursing School

    Herrington replied to LexannLay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. That's usually how it works. 2 years of pre-reqs, then you go onto 2 years of nursing school proper. Some places just incorporate the whole thing as 4 years. But where I'm at, it's the first way...

  16. TEAS Exam

    Herrington replied to Tink Nurse to Be's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    As far as what to buy, I've heard a lot of good things about this book. People will spend a few weeks going over this book and get at least a mid 80 on the TEAS, which is pretty

  17. Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    Herrington replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but from what I gather, you don't have classes/clinicals every single day (at least, most schools don't), but with the amount of time and effort involved for the...

  18. nursing requirements

    Herrington replied to kgionet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For your 3rd point, if something does happen and you need to fall back on another nursing degree, I would say go for the BSN, as a lot of places (hospitals primarily), are listing it as a job...

  19. A & P 1

    Herrington replied to Jesslogan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also going to toss in the advice for reading the book. I try and read what I think the professor will cover in class (sometimes I over or undershoot it), go to class, write whatever he puts on...

  20. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 14

    Herrington replied to WlongTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    Speaking from having attended one of the information sessions for UTHSCSA, someone asked about classes that you take over again for a better grade, and the lady said that they don't take the higher...

  21. Acceptance email to San Antonio College Nursing School

    Herrington replied to sugabrwn1971's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd physically drive down there and see what's up if they aren't getting back to you. See if you can find the office that's in charge of the program at SAC, and explain your situation. But yea, like...

  22. Grade in High school need Opinion

    Herrington replied to Winter559's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I'm understanding your question correctly, then I shouldn't think that getting an average grade in a Spanish class would really cripple your ability to get into an RN program. Does the RN program...

  23. Signing a contract with a hospital to pay for tuition

    Herrington replied to Swanie D's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard of this as well. I went to the hospital I'm seen at and spoke with their learning resources department. They said that yes, they do offer it, but you need to have been accepted into...

  24. How Many Classes Do You Have Left?

    Herrington replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure I've just got both Chemistry classes and Microbiology left, but I may do a Medical Terminology course as well. I should be done with all of the required pre-reqs by the end of this...

  25. What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    Herrington replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I've not finished A&P II yet, but so far, I've liked the blood, though I'm really looking forward to the digestive system. In A&P I, the skeletal system was probably my
