  1. Do you read all the text for science classes?

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

    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...

  2. Testing Question

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

    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...

  3. Starting to thinking nursing is not for me..losing that drive

    Herrington replied to Yani_5412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  4. Where do I even start for school?

    Herrington replied to pope4370's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  5. Just had my first A&P lab test. Study hard pays off

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

    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...

  6. When is your first A&P test?

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

    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...

  7. Who has volunteered?

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

    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...

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

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

    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...

  9. Who's ready for tomorrow?!

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

    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...

  10. Staying healthy and going to school.

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

    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...

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

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

    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

  12. Why did you choose Nursing as your career? Tell me your story. Here is my story

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

    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...

  13. When do your fall classes start?

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

    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,...

  14. Samuel Merritt Accelerated Nursing Program

    Herrington replied to m.pashoua.lee's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  15. Volunteering!! How much time should I spend??

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

    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...

  16. Who has volunteered?

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

    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,...

  17. Associates or BSN

    Herrington replied to Sophie15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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,...

  18. Associates or BSN

    Herrington replied to Sophie15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  19. San Antonio College - Alamo Colleges

    Herrington replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  20. New Concerns

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

    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...
