  1. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    GeneralJinjur replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a fair bit of overlap in the way cells function, chemistry and the immune system. Each of these subjects are casually reviewed in my micro text; while there's plenty of detail, there isn't a...

  2. Who's NOT waiting on a letter????

    GeneralJinjur replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not waiting for a letter, either. I have been on the waitlist at my CC for over a year. They are currently weeding out the people who changed their minds. If no one in front of me drops out, I...

  3. Work Being Poured On Now

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

    I think it depends on the teacher. Some of mine scheduled all classwork to end a week before school lets out. Two of my classes have picked up the pace and I will be sweating hard for the next 4...

  4. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Here's another helpful cellular respiration link. Sure, it's for high schoolers, but it explains it well.

  5. Ok..WHO has taken API and APII

    GeneralJinjur replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the suggestion to start memorizing bones and muscles now. If chemistry makes you cry or you're not naturally math inclined, I highly recommend the book "Chemistry for Biology Students." You...

  6. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Hey everyone, I am struggling to wrap my head around the steps of cellular respiration and came across a nice tutorial. The drawings are clunky, but the information is sound and a little less...

  7. Humanities Elective Credit

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

    I'm taking Children's Literature for my Fine Arts elective. It is filled with future teachers. I went with the "choose something fun" philosophy. I recently found that my older credits won't count,...

  8. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    She was born in August. She became terribly interested in toileting right before her birthday last year, but because of school, I haven't had time to do more than let her go when she wants. She...

  9. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Blessedmom, if your house is clean, you can study to your heart's content!! Mine is in such a state that the week won't be enough. I still have my Christmas break goals posted by my bedroom door (I...

  10. Apply to the 4 year Program or the 2 year??

    GeneralJinjur replied to sol9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your area have fast-track BSN's for people who already have another degree? If they do, then finishing the other degree and rolling it into a BSN would be the most efficient

  11. Have you ever written a thank you note to a professor?

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

    I have sent messages after the semester's over to let them know that I enjoyed the class and appreciated their efforts. They're people long before they're professors, so I don't think it's out of...

  12. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    And I survived. It was much easier than the A&P lab practicals and it didn't smell icky, either. We weren't timed at the stations, so we could move around freely. I was feeling very confident...

  13. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Well, what system strikes your fancy? We have to do a class presentation with our reports and I am planning to do something nasty in the lungs. Tuberculosis or streptococcus pneumoniae maybe. How...

  14. "But nurses are in demand, how can it be hard to get into nursing school"?

    GeneralJinjur replied to nynurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always give the short answer, "A nursing shortage means fewer nurses teaching." So far everyone has comprehended that on the first

  15. Planning On LPN or RN??

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

    I'm going for the RN, but I can take the LPN exam after my first year of clinicals are out of the way. One of the nurses I talked with (does everyone else talk to all the nurses when you are at any...

  16. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Wow, I can't believe someone would be so blatant! We were not allowed to view our A&P exams afterward because people had been selling them online. It was irritating not being able to see what...

  17. How do you get scholarships?

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

    My school recommended Fastweb (http://www.fastweb.com) as a free source for scholarship information. I filled out a gazillion page questionnaire and get frequent emails letting me know about...

  18. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    I attended a study group last night and was given this website: http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~gkaiser/goshp.html After poking around it a bit this evening, I think I will use it a lot! I've also got 3...

  19. Do you get laughed at?

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

    I wouldn't worry what silly people say. I also use children's books and websites to learn processes that are giving me trouble. Last semester, I did a project on the endocrine system (in Psychology,...

  20. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    Well, I just got the full grade back for my first exam and it is an 89. 10 points of the exam were a take-home assignment. We had to find a bunch of information about 3 firmicutes and 1 gracilicute....

  21. How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

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

    I took it twice, but that's because I took it 13 years apart. I made an A both times and if I hadn't done so well when I was 20, I never would have considered the field of nursing. I have a lot of...

  22. Taking an online class

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

    I have also done most of my classes online: Psychology, English, American Government, Anthropology, Sociology, Nutrition, Ethics, Children's Literature and both semesters of A&P. I did have...

  23. May I have a moment to whine?

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

    I have felt the same way. Most of my studying is done during naptime when the big kids are at school or after 11PM. This is my fourth semester and I'm learning that I will have several really bad...

  24. Microbiology Spring 2007

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

    I don't think a busy schedule makes me do any better in school, but I do obsess less because I have a broader range of worries. All my free time goes into studying for the science classes, but when...

  25. Which would you choose, and why?

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

    I think I'd go with the ADN program, too. I don't like the idea of being locked into something that may or may not be a good fit for three years. I'm a little bit of a control freak and my destiny...
