    My school is saying I owe 1750!

    Yes, you are going to have to pay it back. You took their classes. I'm not understanding why you don't think you owe it. I'm sure you got your refund check back in September? That's when ours come...

    How do you pay for School

    I pay out of pocket at a community college. I am applying for some scholarships to see if I can get anything. I will be applying this spring also for next fall and will hopefully get in. I can't...
  3. I felt that way last week, believe me. I was so glad when I took my last final on Friday. I took the weekend to sleep and relax and catch myself up. I had been running nonstop since the beginning...

    TEAS TEST SCORES

    Wow, no science in KY? That is great!! Congrats on getting accepted. I live in IN and here the science is more heavily weighted than any other section. I just took my first practice test yesterday...
  5. It does matter if you want to transfer credits to a 4 year university. To me it is a complete waste of money if the school is not accredited. And yes it also matters when looking for a job and I...

    How can I manage school, work, & family??

    I organize my week every Sunday. Things always come up and disrupt my schedule but by writing it down and having it somewhere I know it needs to get done. I am up at 6:15 everyday and in bed most...

    Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    We don't use a +/- system at my school either. That seems kinda like a really crazy grading system. Only a 100 points for the whole semester? Most of mine are somewhere around 600-700 and I have...

    Nursing school effect on life?

    Fortunately, my boyfriend and I have very busy lives and we get to see each other a few times a week and make a date night for each other once a month. He is my biggest supporter for me going back to...

    Your best advice: How to do well in A&P?!

    I got A's in both I and II. For me, I made sure I went to every class and took good notes and studied when I could. I really find it interesting so it wasn't hard for me to pay attention and learn....

    The Elephant in the Room

    Until you lived it, you just have no idea. It gets to the point where you are so stressed out and sick and the Elephant doesn't even want to take you to get looked at. He's ****** that he's there...

    2 finals in one wk

    I have 5 this week. Got my first couple done. My micro was hard. Hoping I did well. Differentiating between all those bacterium and how each one affects the body was crazy. Knowing exactly what...

    I Did Not Make It Into LVN School...Again

    I think that learning medical terminology is important. It helps with so much. Especially in Anatomy and Physiology and Micro. I took it 15 years ago when it was a requirement for programs and I...
  15. I'm confused. What do you mean by straight A nursing student? Are you in the program and taking your coreqs or still doing your prereqs? Everywhere I know of anatomy is a prereq and you have to get...

    My Crazy Day During Finals

    Michigan pre-nursing students

    I am taking them both together right now. I have A's in both. I really loved micro so that seemed a little easier for me than A&PII. Finals this week. I am so ready to be

    Unrealistic nursing students

    I don't think it matters why someone goes into nursing. I don't necessarily agree with the people that proclaim it's calling and it's their passion. And if you don't have this "calling" then nursing...

    Remind me to just deal with it/Venting.

    I don't know. My school is a community college but it is very clean. And well organized. I would hate to go to a filthy place without a good internet connection. My school just has vending...

    last micro assignment, DONE!

    We had 2 unknowns to do but it wasn't anything that intensive. We ran the labs and decided whether they were positive or negative and used a dichotomy key. It was very straight forward and simple....

    Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    Yes, the world needs tradesman. But let me tell you my ex who is a HVAC guy with his own business has a 2-year degree in it and makes much more money than probably 85% of the people in this country....

    Paying for Winter Session! How did you?

    One of the benefits of my divorce is that my ex has to pay for all of my schooling. That was a huge relief for me since I didn't want to have to take out any loans. I told him it was my payment for...

    I loved micro also. I am kind of sad to see it end. I have class on Monday and Tuesday then I am done. Today was my last A&P II lab. Next week is lecture final. Not so sad to see that end....
