I read my book. It's still good to know even if it won't be on your exam. There's stuff our professor doesn't even touch on in the book, but I believe it will be good to know, as it's foundation material (A&P I, chemistry, cells, etc.) that eve...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but on a similar note: when exactly should one take the TEAS exam? I mean, does your score expire after so long? I'm just starting my pre-reqs, and won't be done until Spring of 2015, but I'm wondering if it's so...

If you're enjoying what you're doing at a hospital, then I'd say keep going. I'd talk to some of the people you're working with and seek their advice as well. I get huge boosts of confidence whenever I go and talk to the nurses at the hospital I'm ...

Elizabeth Renee covered pretty much everything, but I figure I'd toss in a few thoughts. I spoke to a lot of nurses at the hospital that I'm seen at, and they said to just go straight for the BSN as (from what I understand) many hospitals will be req...

Here's what I've been doing: -Read chapter before lecture (if it's a long chapter, then find a good spot to split the chapter, and read each part on different days, but still before the lecture). -Go through lecture, take notes. -Create flashcards ba...

My first exam isn't until October 2nd and it's going to be over the first five chapters of our book. We've only got 3 exams (+ comprehensive final) through this entire course, but the professor seems like a pretty cool guy, so I'm not too freaked ou...

Oh goodness, this right here has been my main hold up for starting. Last week I was going all over the place trying to find someone who could do the flu and TDAP shots (went to Walgreens, CVS, HEB [Texas], Walmart, and on the local military base). ...

Reading through the syllabus for my A&P I class, I thought my instructor to be intimidating and hard on the class. He had no reviews on ratemyprofessor.com (new guy perhaps?), but I signed up for classes late, so I had to go with him. To my sur...

I've got a health screen appointment this morning at 10:00 AM out at the hospital I'm hoping to begin volunteer work at, then I've got A&P I at 6:45 PM this evening and Wednesday evening. I've looked over the syllabus for each of my classes (all...

One thing I hear a lot of people saying is to make your own lunch and bring it with you instead of going out to eat, or going to the schools cafeteria. It's healthier (and cheaper) to take your own food. Perhaps you could make a big meal of somethin...

Aw, lucky, that sounds cool! Our lab manual is labeled as a "Fetal Pig" version, so I assume that's what we'll be tinkering with.

I've gone through 2 liver transplants (July of 2004, March 2013) and a total proctocolectomy (October 2012). Got my B.S. in Computer Information Systems 2 years ago, and quickly lost interest in the IT field after that, coming to the conclusion that...

I start my first-ish set of pre-req classes (have a few already done a few years back from my first B.S.) on August 26. I'm taking College Algebra, General Psychology, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Introduction Sociology. I plan on doing ever...

From what I understand, it's highly inadvisable to be working at all during an accelerated program, let alone full time as you mentioned. I've heard stories of people working at least part-time during a traditional program, but never accelerated. He...

When I start volunteering and school at the end of the month, I plan on spending my time to one of those two activities at any given moment. At my interview, they asked me how many hours per week I could spare to volunteer (has to be a minimum of 1 ...

I'm hoping to start volunteer work next month at a local hospital. I've got a really extensive history as a patient with this hospital and I really like the doctors and nurses who were caring for me, and I'm hoping to give back and help out how I ca...

Heh, yea, that's the mindset I was under. But again, the problem is that a lot of hospitals (at least here in San Antonio) want all of their nurses to have their BSN by 2020, which, in all reality, isn't very far out. It seems to me that there's...

I went and spoke with a bunch of nurses last month who I saw while I was in the hospital in March regarding their academic route. Pretty much across the board was to just go straight for the BSN. I guess the general thought process is "Why spend ex...

I probably won't be starting this Fall, but I intend on starting at SAC in the Spring for the pre-requisite courses to transfer to the UT Health Science Center. I mentioned in another thread that I might have to start all over from my first degree (...

Hey! Thought I'd pitch in a few words of encouragement/empathy as my first post, seeing as I'm in a relatively similar situation to you. I recently had my 2nd liver transplant to re-treat PSC at the UT Health Science Center/University Hostpital this...
