  1. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    GeneralJinjur replied to oguesswhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought cultural anthropology was less relevant than sociology. Memorizing the economic system of Trobriand islanders never seemed terribly applicable to nursing in the

  2. I'm D-O-N-E !! Semester & Prereq's YAY!!

    GeneralJinjur replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I only have 4 classes left before I can say the same. I have wondered exactly what I will do with all that free time. Cleaning is probably a good

  3. A plan for the future...

    GeneralJinjur replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your second plan sounds more doable. I just finished up Micro along with 3 non-science classes. It was more time consuming than the others combined. Terribly interesting,

  4. Microbiology Spring 2007

    GeneralJinjur replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ally, several people have said the same thing in my class, including those who already had degrees. It was a tough class, so I'm glad it was also terribly interesting to make up for the difficulty!...

  5. Yay summer!

    GeneralJinjur replied to jessica<3RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My kids did a dance when I came home from my final Thursday night. I don't have to leave the house for school until fall and that's practically forever as far as they are concerned. I finished up my...

  6. Didn't get the scholarship I applied for . . .

    GeneralJinjur replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry you didn't get it! You are right about not owing the hospital. They might be real stinkers to work for, so this could be a very good thing in the long

  7. Human Growth and Development-Summer '07 online course

    GeneralJinjur replied to makaylasmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My online A&P had lab at the college once a week. It was tough because I couldn't raise my hand when I didn't understand something and by the time I formulated a question that would make sense in...

  8. The challenges of Pre-nursing classes and motherhood

    GeneralJinjur replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When my youngest wanted to nurse, she would crawl to me while dragging a textbook. I thought it was hilarious that she put the two together because of course, I did use every breastfeeding minute to...

  9. Microbiology Spring 2007

    GeneralJinjur replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My final was tonight. Grades have to be posted by next Wednesday. I have been right on the cusp for weeks, but have room to lose 13 points on the final and still have an A. Only 1 more test and 1...

  10. What to do with books?

    GeneralJinjur replied to djnme2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sell mine back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. I also have traded with someone. She used a couple of books that I was done with and I did the same with hers. It worked really well...

  11. A&P online summer 2007

    GeneralJinjur replied to Mizzyfrufru's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did A&P online with labs at the school. We had open book tests that took every bit of the 2 hours she allowed. They were very tough. The hardest part for me was that when I didn't understand...

  12. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    GeneralJinjur replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Real organs and muscles are a lot tougher to identify than the models. You could have learned that in A&P, but now I've told you so you

  13. Summer Session Sign In

    GeneralJinjur replied to misserlizzer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing Pathophysiology. After this semester, it's going to feel like a

  14. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    GeneralJinjur replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a gross aspect to dissection (primarily the smell of the preservative which always gave me a headache), but you really learn a great deal because of seeing everything in 3-D. Anatomy seems...

  15. Microbiology Spring 2007

    GeneralJinjur replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's too bad about the equipment. I wouldn't mind more lecture time, but it would be exhausting to go for 3 hours every night. Our school does unknowns differently. We cultured whatever we wanted...

  16. What have you dissected????

    GeneralJinjur replied to Love Coronado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. What have you dissected????

    GeneralJinjur replied to Love Coronado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nope, no guilt. the cadaver had a long, full life and the choice to be used for science. the fetal pig had neither. at least my pork chops have had a chance to savor the sunlight and wallow in the...

  18. What are you taking nexrt semester?

    GeneralJinjur replied to RunnerLuvLisa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Summer: Low end algebra Maybe Pathophysiology Fall: College Algebra General Biology or another science Spanish Medical Calculations Spring: Chemistry Statistics Spanish And then I'm all done with...

  19. *Vent*God please give me science classes over this any day!

    GeneralJinjur replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Children's Literature class is a thorn in my side. I love the subject and shouldn't have any trouble with it, but when it comes time to write my weekly paper, I am bitter about wasting my time....

  20. What have you dissected????

    GeneralJinjur replied to Love Coronado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like pork chops, but a fetal pig never even got the chance to become pork, so I can work up guilt over one. :) You are right. This is an important education. And working on 4 cadavers over two...

  21. What have you dissected????

    GeneralJinjur replied to Love Coronado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cow eye, sheep brain, fetal pig, sheep heart, pig uterus (complete with a whole passel of teeny piglets) and a frog in junior high. Our school also has cadavers, but students don't dissect. We also...

  22. Would you give away a semester's worth of notes???

    GeneralJinjur replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your explanation makes a lot more sense. I toss my notes right in the trash as soon as my final grade is posted, so I would have no trouble giving them to anyone who asked, even if they were a...

  23. Accepted-Now having second thoughts

    GeneralJinjur replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not even starting in the fall and I've been having the same worries. Partly because I'm nearly done with the BSN prereqs, and partly because the past 2 years have been really hard and my kids are...

  24. An AMAZING end to a horrible Month

    GeneralJinjur replied to casi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations on being accepted! I remember that early 20's mom/kid dynamic. It was no fun. My mom seemed to be less clingy (in my view)/worried (her view) when I would spend some time with her,...

  25. stay with bsn or go to asn?

    GeneralJinjur replied to badgerbabe287's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are interested in a BSN, it makes sense to try again, rather than go to a CC out of desperation. After completing your CC work, you'd still have another year of online courses before you'd get...
