  1. Missing Clincials??

    MB37 replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In most programs it seems like 1-2 absences are allowed before you fail, and they may or may not offer make up dates. I'd be nervous about using one on a wedding, when you may be horribly ill, in a...

  2. Anxiety much?

    MB37 replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, there are real live people who do make As in nursing school, aren't there?? From what I read on these boards, they seem few and far between...My life won't end if I have less than a 4.0, I...

  3. A&P II Club, 2007

    MB37 replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both of my A&Ps online - my school doesn't offer live labs for it at all, and you can choose to either listen to the prof lecture live or listen to a prerecorded media file of him giving...

  4. Dilemma - in a good way

    MB37 replied to HikingNinja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say pay the deposit. $500 isn't so much compared to losing several months of nursing pay by graduating later. If you get into and go to the state school, just figure this in as an insurance...

  5. Patho nervousness

    MB37 replied to aerorunner80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I have to take it this summer too - with pharm and ehtical/legal in my first semester of NS. Our books aren't available yet so I can't go and scare myself. I think it'll be more interesting than...

  6. chemistry or microbiology first?

    MB37 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took chem first, and don't remember it being too much of a help. However, all else being equal, I'd say that chem will help you more in micro than micro will in chem. If your school doesn't require...

  7. Opinions Needed!!

    MB37 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I study, I take notes several times, then consolidate like you (although usually onto notecards). I learn through the process of taking the notes and putting it all together. It's not really the...

  8. "Its dead, Jim"

    MB37 replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you two still live in the same town? My sister-in-law is divorced, for similar reasons as you stated, and she has to travel a lot for work. I think that although they have a "set" custody...

  9. Applying with an In Progress Course

    MB37 replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went for it. My school has a stated policy that you may not apply until all prereqs have been completed, which tends to result in a semester off. However, they don't enfore that policy, I found out...

  10. Honestly...Is there still hope for my future???

    MB37 replied to missbwm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another option I've heard of is academic amnesty. It could possible have other names at other schools, but the concept is: you petition the school to wipe a semester/year completely off your...

  11. A waste?

    MB37 replied to sumo123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if I would pay that kind of tuition for a BSN...nursing school isn't like some other careers, where going to a prestigious university can translate into a better paying job upon...

  12. Need advice: Get into clinicals early, or wait?

    MB37 replied to Krither's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take a little time if you can afford it. Go to some parties, meet some people, etc. Does your school do a waiting list? Many BSN programs don't. As long as they don't, I'd try to have a little...

  13. What are you taking nexrt semester?

    MB37 replied to RunnerLuvLisa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Start actual nursing school this summer! I'm taking pharm, pathophys, and ethical/legal issues in nursing. We don't start clinicals til semester

  14. Which math would you take?

    MB37 replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am an admitted math geek. Took Calc I my freshman year of high school. How well do you actually like math? I love knowing that there is a right answer, and that I can find it. I didn't care for...

  15. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    MB37 replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My current nursing school does not allow us to dissect anything. Our labs for A&P are online, which means all we get to do is look at pictures. My old school (displaced by Hurricane Katrina) gave...

  16. Why?????

    MB37 replied to Hillgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Plus in nursing school you normaly have to pass a dosage calculation test that they will not offer a class on. They generally give it very early on, or some places you take it every semester. It's...

  17. Brand new textbook with 65 missing pages in middle of book

    MB37 replied to Daytonite's topic in General Students

    Wow! I keep things like receipts around until I know that I am staying in the class, and that my prof is definitely going to use that particular text, but once I start reading and marking it up I...

  18. You're going to Community College?

    MB37 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I meet a lot of people who have no idea what all the letters stand for, and they might associate LPN with a CC degree. I've had people tell me, "Oh, my sister is a nurse! She's a...

  19. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    MB37 replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! The first test was really easy - I made 100, and the class avg. was an A. It was all book material, and the exams are open book (you take them online, timed, and you have an hour). The...

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

    MB37 replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 27 and this is my 6th year in college (already graduated once) but I am taking Freshman English Comp II this semester. My original school required one 4 credit English course, here in Florida you...

  21. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    MB37 replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it Dr. Kumar? She told us that this is her last semester teaching it, so you'll probably have someone new. I think why it was recommended to take Dr. Kumar in person is that she puts minor random...

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

    MB37 replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would assume that most profs don't use the same exams and assignments from semester to semester - if they did, I am certain that Greek and other social organizations with members from multiple years...

  23. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    MB37 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hadn't even thought about that...I haev class 8:30-11:30 Tues morning too, so I have to leave early, and then another class at 3:30 so I hope it's over by then...maybe I'll wear something in the...

  24. Wasn't much of a student

    MB37 replied to PREMALERN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on the school. Some look only at prereq GPA. My school requires reporting of all colleges ever attended, and they only look at cumulative GPA. It's a BSN program, so they don't all take...

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

    MB37 replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never give away my actual notebook, but I will always let people make copies of mine. These days most profs put their powerpoints online anyways, so as far as my conscience is concerned that...
