  1. A&P 201 or 202

    Herrington replied to amberdawn85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I had to absolutely choose between A&P courses, I'd choose whichever covers blood and blood vessels (i.e. circulatory/cardiovascular). It seems to me that of all the systems, those will be the...

  2. UTHSCSA - Accelerated Nursing Program 2014

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

    It's unlikely that I'll be doing the ABSN, but I'm hoping to start the traditional BSN next fall (2015) at UTHSCSA. I went to an info session last month, and I'm going to the next one in April as...

  3. Muscles easier than bones??

    Herrington replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pretty much this. Whatever they say that you really need to know, then go with that, and later on, the smaller muscles/bones can be sort of ascertained from the main ones. That's how it was in my...

  4. Anyone know of any San Antonio Nursing Programs? What is required to apply and get in

    Herrington replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, the main one I'm hoping to get into is the UT Health Science Center here in SA. Here is the list of prerequisite courses they require for entry (the traditional BSN program). This is the page...

  5. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 14

    Herrington replied to WlongTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks WlongTX for that...I seem to remember them mentioning something like that at the info session, but I was still a little hazy on it. BoSongJang, I remember them saying that in-state tuition for...

  6. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 14

    Herrington replied to WlongTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey guys...just wanted to poke my head back in here and ask a real quick question. How long did it take you, from the time you submitted your NursingCAS application, to the time you saw that your...

  7. Alternative majors?! Out of motivation.

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

    I agree with dt70, go and get some additional information about the statistics of those applied and accepted. You might be surprised about your odds of getting in. I don't know if it'll make you...

  8. Feeling Discouraged

    Herrington replied to RN_Loading1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took that test as well, and apparently I'm a Read & Write/Visual type. Thinking about it now, that's pretty accurate actually. Thanks for

  9. Study tips

    Herrington replied to dnelson120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My routine for A&P (both I and II) is pretty much to read a section of the chapter ahead of lecture so I get a general idea behind what's going on. Then I go to lecture and take the notes (our...

  10. extras

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

    Go to a hospital and look into volunteering with the pediatrics or NICU departments. Make some connections and get familiar with the environment. Doing so has the potential to help with finding a...

  11. A&P in the summer

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

    Here's another one: Anatomy Drill and Practice Good luck! I plan on taking both of my Chemistry pre-reqs over this coming Summer, so we'll both be swamped with coursework,

  12. Hospital Volunteering While in Nursing School

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

    I'll second the first part of this. When I started volunteering, they gave me a paper stating my duties: Answer phones. File alphabetically/numerically. Keep patients area clean and neat....

  13. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 14

    Herrington replied to WlongTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's (hopefully) the time I'll be attending as well. I signed up to attend one of their info. sessions on Feb. 15th to ask some questions, look at my transcripts and where I stand right now, even...

  14. Has anyone taken Comparative Religion?? What should I choose for Humanities?

    Herrington replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I plan on taking an ethics and/or logic course for my humanities requirement. It should be a no-brainer why either of those courses would be helpful in the nursing field, but I could see how a...

  15. Is anyone else familiar with this? (sounds too good to be true)

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

    At the school I plan on going to, they've got this deal with the hospital right next door (they're both part of a larger partnership), where you can apply to work at the hospital as a tech (not sure...

  16. How to handle the stress?

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

    Yeah, you might want to cut back on the hours a little bit. Personally, I'm not going for more than 15 in the regular semesters, but I'm taking a few classes over the summer to help speed things...

  17. Struggling pre-req student

    Herrington replied to Devotional82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A friend of mine told me not too long ago (not about nursing, but it still applies): "If you want, then you must.". If your end objective is to become a nurse, then you must get through these...

  18. Plans for Spring?

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

    I think Spring will be my most intense semester of pre-reqs. It's going to be something like 16 hours total, but smushed into 8 week sessions (except A&P II). Thankfully, I do pretty well in...

  19. Staying organized

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

    This is pretty much what I do. I looked over the syllabus for my classes at the beginning of the semester, and punched in all the due dates for everything on their respective days. It's been keeping...

  20. Midterms?

    Herrington replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our next exams are early November (lab is the 4th, lecture is the 6th), and I spoke with my professor after class this past week and he said he's expecting even more people to drop after the second...

  21. Preparing for Nursing Program

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

    My professor, just the other day, gave us a link to a site with some anatomy games, and then someone here on the site also recommended another site to help drill you on anatomy topics. Tag Anatomy -...

  22. Retained info.

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

    When I spoke to one nurse about A&P and it's application to nursing school, she said to know your veins and arteries very well, which makes

  23. Midterms?

    Herrington replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our A&P I class started with 28, and we're down to 23 now. Our professor said he's never had that many people drop from the class before. The class is challenging, yes, but he's got a very...

  24. I need more nurse friends :(

    Herrington replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One suggestion would be to volunteer at a hospital/clinic. I mean, obviously those places have tons of nurses and possibly students (the hospital I volunteer at is directly connected and affiliated...

  25. Volunteering at Kaiser- experience

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

    This was my 2nd day volunteering. I applied online (no letters or anything), waited a few weeks or a month or so before getting an email about an interview. After doing that, I had to get all of my...
