    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. Am I crazy? Or do we all do this?

    Micci replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I have planned out is what classes I am going to take what term. The house goes into a slow decline as the term progresses and completely falls apart before finals.

  3. dead people or dead animals??

    Micci replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    30 years???!!!! That seems an awful long time to keep a cadaver around. :uhoh21: I didn't think that was possible. A fellow student told me that our school keeps the cadavers around for about 2...

  4. CNA to RN...

    Micci replied to serene43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's also a requirement at my school. I took the CNA class my first term so that I can work pt as a CNA to get the tuition reimbursement that many places offer and to get experience in the

  5. dead people or dead animals??

    Micci replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our school has both. The A&P cadaver classes are hard to get into. The returning students fill them up. I am going to take cadaver A&P2 in the spring. Even though I had completed the...

  6. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had another thought about the OP's predicament. As far as beliefs conflicting with class assignments. Is this not a similar predicament to what religious creationists are in when they take...

  7. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! I'm an agnostic humanist. I had quite a few patients ask me to pray for this or that when I was doing clinicals. I had one woman beg me a couple times with tears in her eyes, for me to pray...

  8. Breaking Back into the Workforce!

    Micci replied to Micci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :) I know I will do good as a CNA. I am a hard worker. From 18-22 I worked with developmentally disabled adults. I was in charge of alot of things. For awhile I managed a group home and later a...

  9. Breaking Back into the Workforce!

    Micci posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have my CNA certification, but I have been dragging my feet and making excuses for not applying for jobs. I decided to finish out my summer term. Now it is over and I realize that I am just...

  10. 1 month in and students already quitting

    Micci replied to luvmypatients's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :chuckle I agree! I think that about the nursing program. I have heard that more than 1/3 drop the first year. That is why our school makes everyone go through the CNA program first. I guess they...

  11. How old are you?

    Micci replied to flight.attendant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True! The good thing about the Assoc programs is that you can get into your career faster and hospitals will usually foot the bill for the Bachelors. 4 year institutions are definately more costly...

  12. NEW A&P STUDENT-WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    Micci replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished Biology about 2 weeks ago. I have never had to cram so much complicated information into my brain in a time span of 10 weeks. The homework part depends on the instructor. Our Bio...

    LOL! I think this thread is "the

  14. First day inside a classroom in 22 years!!!

    Micci replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's been 13 years for me. I was very intimidated. The first student counselor I talked to was discouraging, telling me how many people apply, how hard science classes are to get into. I decided to...

  15. How old are you?

    Micci replied to flight.attendant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish now that I had started off early too. It would have been alot easier for me to get through nursing school without kids. It's great that you are making the decision now when you are young and...

  16. Nursing assistant ??

    Micci replied to bmburke78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Duker, Good for you! You are definately not too old. I was so intimidated being 32 when I took my first class last spring. As fortune would have it, I ended up sitting next to a woman who had gone...

  17. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh boy, how did I know that someone was going to come back with a tolerance and diversity speech. Look, if you will go back through the thread, I suggested another option- a human cadaver class....

  18. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't realize I was going to get slapped with the rude label by posting my opinion to a post asking for opinions. Why is one opinion rude and another not rude. You know what, yes, I do think he...

  19. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Micci replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't seen the coloring books. that is a good idea. I am a visual learner and the more visual aids I use, the better. On the subject, I am all happy because I just ordered my A&P text book,...

  20. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    Micci replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Roxburin, Does your college have a cadaver A&P class? Ours does. I don't know if that means they do not dissect larger animals, but maybe. I actually didn't realize that the A&P classes...

  21. How old are you?

    Micci replied to flight.attendant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not old. I worried about the same thing. I'm 32, married with 3 kids ages 2, 4 & almost 9. I worried that I was going to be surrounded by a bunch of young kids in their early 20's and...

  22. How early did you wake up to register for fall classes

    Micci replied to TRINI_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear your pain. Even though I had finished a spring semester and was currently in the middle of the summer term, I was not yet considered 'returning'. I watched everyday to see how fast the...

  23. How many credit hours are you taking fall semester?

    Micci replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad you said that. I was wondering which one to take first. ------------------------------ This semester I am taking 10 units. A&P 1 w/lab, Psych Lifespan and Speech. I also have to study...

  24. Nursing assistant ??

    Micci replied to bmburke78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look around online for CNA programs in your area. Our college gets people through the CNA course in one semester. I found a private program in the area that got me CNA certified in 8 weekends. Even...

  25. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Micci replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you really are taking the bull by the horns! I have my schedule planned out so that I only take one science class per term. I have found that college is alot easier now that I am older, 32,...
