  4. Help! How Hard & How Many Hours?

  10. nursing programs in Tampa area

    USF is competitive but where isn't? That's the only school I'm applying to, and with my 3.8 I am not particularly nervous. They look only at GPA and if you're applying for upper division they accept...
  11. We take most of ours MC online, posted immediately, once you hit submit. They occasionally have to adjust them later if there was a mistake, so your grade could possible go up a few
  12. How would you handle this?

    I had a very similar problem - I take an online A&P class with on-campus proctored exams. My A&P prof didn't get around to posting a syllabus at all until 2 days after the drop/add date, and...
  13. What to do?

    I lost a semester due to my trancript not being released in time for $10 I didn't know I owed until it was too late. They can be as strict as they want to be,
  14. A&P II Club, 2007

    I am attending my 4th college in 10 years, and while they didn't exist at the last 3, apparently profs are allowed to give A+s at my current school. I had a 102 in my developmental psych class last...

  16. Just curious - my method works for me, but it's time-consuming. Maybe we can get some ideas from each other! I read the chapter before class about 98% of the time. Then I take notes during the lecture...
  17. I met an RN the other day - just finishing up her BSN bridge at the school I'm applying to - who attended nursing school immediately out of high school, was 17 when she started, and 19 at graduation....
  18. cardiac questions help please

    Thanks guys! Our book really doesn't mention the U wave at all, and the EKGs it shows are flat between T and P. I did figure out the basoreceptor thing, What threw me off was carotid vs. aortic,...
  19. This is something I have wondered about too. I am also only a pre-nursing student, but with a prior BS. I should start an accelerated BSN program in May, and will graduate in August 2008. I don't...

  21. How many schools did you apply to?

    I only applied to one, the only accelerated BSN in my city. They only look at GPA, and mine is .4 over what they usually go down to, so that doesn't worry me. What does is that I'm relying on what the...
  22. Pre-nursing student... What's your job??

    I'm a bartender, and have been since before and after getting my first degree. You might think the jobs have nothing in common, but the ex-bartender-turned-nurses that I know are who spurred me...
  23. A&P II Club, 2007

    mdg, Especially if you still have your notes, and if you did well enough the first time, I wouldn't bother. Do you still know the names of most of the bones and muscles? Do you have a basic...
  24. Question on laptop

    Don't pay full price for MS office either, most student bookstores offer it super cheap - I think I paid about $20 for it. Also, we have a Toshiba and an ibook at home, and the ibook hasn't been used...
