  2. Nursing school laptops

    aHolisticStudent replied to shortstuff52's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Like everyone else has said above, you don't need the computer they sell through the school. However, the choice of whether or not to get a laptop really depends on your working style. For me, I don't...

  3. is anybody applying to umd and what are ur gpas

    aHolisticStudent replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's a good book. However, two things should be considered first when looking at questions and answers. 1) Your ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Bleeding, Circulation) always takes precedence when deciding...

    aHolisticStudent replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Clinical days aren't set. There are slots made available at the beginning of the semester and the registration is done online. It's basically first in wins. Most of the favored spots (i.e. those close...

  6. nursing program

    aHolisticStudent replied to lalunia86's topic in General Nursing

    Most challenging? Definitely time management. If you are not competent in this area you will have serious difficulties. I've seen a lot of students just get run over by the requirements of nursing...

    aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I don't have any exact numbers regarding admissions for you, but you can e-mail the Admissions department at the school if you need to know. The e-mail is: [email protected]. I chose BSN...

  8. Which Program is best for me? JHU/MD/Towson?

    aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Agrippa, Glad to hear it ranks high on your list! I've been very happy with the experience so far. Yes, the Traditional BSN class I came in with is about 90 students but we rarely have class with just...

  9. Which Program is best for me? JHU/MD/Towson?

    aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Agrippa, I'm a traditional BSN student at UMB so I can't speak to Towson's or JHU's admission process, but my experience is that there is no disadvantage to CC credits. I know some people like to...

  10. Frustrated!!

    aHolisticStudent replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a really bad idea. First of all, are you familiar with SQ3R? Try this link: http://arbeitsblaetter.stangl-taller.at/LERNTECHNIK/PQRST.shtml for a quick run through. Secondly, only for...

  11. Memorizing the bones

    aHolisticStudent replied to ChaseTyMadi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Part of the "fun" of A&P is learning an individual process for how to digest large amounts of info quickly. But as far as another option, here's how I approached it: 1) Learn the different...

  12. stuck on Algebra question for TEAS!

    aHolisticStudent replied to BernieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Happy to help :) OK, let's see if I can clarify what I posted. The original information you posted gave us a point (x, y) of (1.5, -3) which I plugged into the equation y = mx + b to get: -3 =...

  13. stuck on Algebra question for TEAS!

    aHolisticStudent replied to BernieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DianaJH, Does the graph on the page have a line or just a point? From the description you posted we only know one point on the graph, without having a slope or y-intercept the line could be going in...

  14. Books that aren't required for course.

    aHolisticStudent replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how you study, and how your course is organized. For example, when I did A&P I we had a "visual lab guide" that was somewhat helpful for histology earlier in the semester, but when...

    aHolisticStudent replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    aHolisticStudent replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chris2008, Good luck this fall. You should do fine, I've managed to maintain a high A in the class using the following system, which has worked for me in any class I've taken. When I read the chapter...

  18. A&PI What Pre-Reqs did you take?

    aHolisticStudent replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how much I really agree with this statement. I'm sure you can make it through A&P without a previous background in biology, however, molecular and cellular biological concepts...

  20. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    aHolisticStudent replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Juggling work and pre-nursing studies

    aHolisticStudent replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    narcissistic, If my math is correct it looks like you're planning on taking 14 credits and work in the fall. Have you ever tried to do that before? If not, I'd recommend trimming back your...

  22. What type of exercise do you do??

    aHolisticStudent replied to CardioTrans's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Does anyone else on here use a fitness ball or just undertake regular exercises without weights, like pull-ups, push-ups, crunch's etc.? As a student I just couldn't bring myself to spend the kind of...
