  1. Advice would be wonderful :)

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

    I think ADN programs are generally at community colleges, at least the only ones that I know of here in Florida. I agree with the others, have you considered BSN programs? I go to USF in Tampa, and...

  2. When you took A&P I how many hours...

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

    I took mine online as well, all the lectures were video files on a website. I could stop and rewind them or watch them over again if I missed something. That does make it hard to quantify "study"...

  3. Transfer Credits

    MB37 replied to xptp29a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That made me nervous as well. I have never gone to a CC, but since earning my BS I have actually gone to 3 different universities for BSN and prereqs (Katrina disrupted my plans). I was actually...

  4. Getting in shape before nursing shool?

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

    A couple of not too tough dietary suggestions that helped me lose weight over the last year: get up in the morning and eat breakfast. Not bacon and eggs - unless it's a test day, then that actually is...

  5. accelerated BSN experiences

    MB37 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks, then I feel better about my plan to remain PT/oncall with my job. I work at a small pub, and if I can work a shift or two a week we'll be a lot better off. As long as I know test and project...

  6. What are you sacrificing to go nursing school?

    MB37 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're also putting off kids until I get my BSN

  7. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    Just finished my final - I got 47/54 on the lecture, 100 on the lab. B for the lecture final, but good enough to maintain an A in the course. Yay! And the best part, is no more studying for over a...

  8. Need advice on what to take with A&PI

    MB37 replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like a perfect schedule. If you've already had intro or any other psych classes, sociology is usually pretty easy. Read the chapters and take good notes in class, and you'll be fine....

  9. Had a rough time in college...

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

    I think having a kid or a couple sooner rather than later is probably a good idea. Of course, my DH and I are waiting until I finish my accelerated program, but I should start in May so it's not too...

  10. what's harder...AP1+2 or AP1+stat+speech

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

    Are stat and speech prereqs for your program? When will you be taking them? If you can apply to nursing school sooner by taking A&P I & II the same semester, by all means do it. Yes it will be...

  11. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    My final is on Monday. It's supposed to be mostly on reproductive system and development, with "a few" questions from other chapters. I have a 96, so I'm only studying the new material. Then I have my...

  12. accelerated BSN experiences

    MB37 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    Futurnurse - do you really work full time? They keep saying that you "can't" work in the ABSN program. I am married, so we'll still have some income, and we have no kids yet. I'm a bartender and I...

  13. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    MB37 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro where I took it required an extra hour or two in lab most weeks, but we had a major project due at the end of the semester that had me spending a lot of my free time in lab the last couple of...

  14. Figuring grades, help

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

    Are any of the grades weighted? For example, if you have four exams, worth 25% each, and you drop your lowest then each exam would be out of 25 points instead of based on how many questions were on...

  15. Spring 2007 Classes

    MB37 replied to KEVO05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II, Nutrition, and English II. It's my last semester also, and I have already applied to start in

  16. A&P Research Paper

    MB37 replied to Jenny67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What diseases, if any, run in your family? If you have a family member with something obscure, do your paper on that. It will help you to understand what they are suffering from better and give you an...

  17. Micro and A&P???

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

    Even if your micro grade doesn't factor into admissions where you're applying, don't slack off on it. What if you want to go get your master's someday? I already told you that you can do it taking...

  18. A&P 1 and Intro to Psychology??

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

    I have a degree in psych, and no, intro isn't hard. It may actually require more memorization than a more advanced psych class, especially if you are in a large lecture hall. Another poster mentoined...

  19. Question about clinicals??

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

    At my school we get to make bids for our 1/2/3 choice hospital, and the regular BSN students stay at whichever one they get for all of their clinicals. I'm applying to the accelerated program, and we...

  20. Micro and A&P???

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

    They are both hard classes, but I think if you have no work or kids there's no reason why you can't. If I can get A's in both while working 30 hrs/wk, you whould be OK without a job taking both...

  21. Most Challenging?

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

    I don't know that A&P is harder than chem, but it is different. Whereas chemistry is learning a concept and a lot of application - balancing equations, etc.; A&P is just a ton of memorization....

  22. I need to do some intro Biology self study

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

    Look at a used bookstore, or even the older editions of books on amazon/ebay. They're usually MUCH cheaper, since students generally need one of the newest editions. If you're just using it to review,...

  23. Is applying 2 multiple schools a given?

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

    I am only applying to one, as it's the only affordable accelerated BSN in my area, and they go by GPA only so like you, I know mine is more than competitive. I have a 3.8 and they typically go as low...

  24. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    All we have left is our exam on the urinary and reproductive systems. I am taking it online, however, and my professor has yet to put half the lectures online. The powerpoints are there, but the...

  25. "Fun Classes"?

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

    Look at the psych class descriptions. Not labs or anything, but a lot of social psych courses are really interesting. My first degree was in psych, and I took Social Psych, Abnormal, and Intimate...
