  1. Well, I got my letter this afternoon...

    Excellent!!! Congratulations!!! :balloons: ... and with 7 kids!! You are my new hero!
  2. A&P- getting me down!!!

    That is ridiculous! So she thinks only 1 or 2% tops of the population is fit for nursing? That is pretty harsh. It is a difficult field, but not to that
  3. When should I apply to nursing school?

    Gina, We are almost in exactly the same situation. I have one elementary school kid and 2 preschoolers, am 32 years old and have been a SAHM for 8 years. I also have the same dillema- do I apply...
  4. A&P- getting me down!!!

    A&P is an overwhelming class, as I too am finding out. There is just a huge amount of information that needs to be memorized on top of the stuff that we need to learn about. How I picture...
  5. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Opinions wanted)

    Well, we are only allowed to take the HESI enterance exam once in a year. So if you do poorly, you have to wait a whole year to try
  6. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Opinions wanted)

    That is what it sounds like to me too. They are capitalizing on the fact that nursing programs are impacted at the CC level. My advice would be to take the exam elsewhere that the NLN test is being...
  7. DISCRIMINATION!!! If someone doesn't study and do the work, and gets poor grades then they should deal with it. Their own fault. I think it should be merit all the way. GPA, nursing enterance...
  8. Calzonan, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I so understand having kids and a husband who works and working the behind off to get through the classes and having to plan out way in advance...
  9. The good thing about being a CNA is it does help you make a decision whether or not nursing is a good field for you without putting in too much schooling. So that was definately not a waste of your...
  10. I Passed!!

    I took the Hesi test (pre-nursing enterance exam) yesterday. I was so nervous. The test score carries almost equal weight to our GPA, as far as placement on the list to get into the nursing program....
  11. I Passed!!

    I sat at the back also, next to that big post. I have Carlson for A&P. He is a really nice guy. I can tell he just loves science and has reams of knowledge. Unfortunately, he tends to drag on...
  12. I Passed!!

    I'm living vicariously through your anticipation, since I have until February to find out. :chuckle Kind of like when I used to hang out on pregnancy forums during my last two pregnancies. I was...
  13. I Passed!!

    What a small world!!! You don't happen to be in my A&P 1 class do you? What side of the testing room did you sit on? Yes, this is my first year applying. I wasn't going to apply this year,...
  14. I passed my first A&P lab exam with an 102%. I am really relieved, I like to get off to a strong start in case the class gets more difficult later on. We are on to learning the muscles now. I...
  15. I'm putting my application in this month. Won't know until Feb if I am in or not. I just found out that they count in this current semesters grades before putting people on the list. Which is good...
  16. anatomy question

    I would think it would be the apical layer of the epidermis, because the stratified squamous cells, which are keratinized to make them tougher, are there to protect the underlying tissues from...
  17. AAAHHHHH!!!!! How does anyone pass A&P I ???

    Index cards! They are my lifeline. There is alot to remember. Don't let it get overwhelming. After each lab class, i make up note cards of whatever it is we have to remember. I keep them in my...
  18. Whoo Hoo...someone be happy for me

    Congrats!!! Hope to hear good news from you
  19. Just reading this thread is giving me butterflies in the stomach. And I thought I was so cool. We won't know until mid to late January for Fall of
  20. A&P Test was a terrible nightmare

    This just burns me up!!! Really, I feel for you. I am so sick of hearing about instructors who test unethically. Have they forgotten that we pay good money for these classes, many times going into...
  21. I Passed!!

    Yep! Do you go
  22. I'm stuck. For A&P we are supposed to memorize a specialist to go with every organ system. I thought I was so clever memorizing all the systems before he asked. You know, cardiologist goes with...
  23. My A/P professor rocks!

    At least she is keeping up with the material she has to cover in the class. Our professor took a night off, and even though I am happy that we don't have a lecture exam on 1-4 this coming Thursday, I...
  24. schooling requirements

    The best way to know what is required of you, is to sit with a school counselor and obtain a nursing package. Better yet, sit through a nursing advising session. The two year program is not really...
  25. I have a severe case of test anxiety

    I hyperventilated my way through the beginning of each section of the nursing enterance exam. That was horrible. If I could do it over again, I would not have drank a caffeinated drink beforehand....
