  1. Rampant Cheating

    MB37 replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that many schools have an honor code, and they may consider anyone who did not report cheating equally culpable as the cheater him/herself. You don't have to go out of your way to check...

  2. GPA and getting into Nursing School

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

    My school accepts only on the basis of cumulative GPA. They award no points for anything else, give no weight to nursing prereqs, and do not care if you have improved since freshman year or your first...

  3. Any fast-track school for Bachelor's

    MB37 replied to sj6074's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those sites don't list every school either. Try the Arizona section of this board, and go to websites for the public universities in your state. They probably have a link to satellite campuses'...

  4. Disrespectful to instructor....

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

    Absolutely! In my one on-campus class, my prof spent part of the first day explaining that we were not required to attend class. She asked us specifically not to have our phones go off in class, and...

  5. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

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

    My school is fairly inexpensive ($1600/semester plus books) so for a 4 semester program, I don't expect to borrow much more than $10,000. I owe $2000 approx from my first degree, so maybe 15...

  6. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    I don't even know if I picked the wrong answer on that Q or not yet. I'm going to try to review my exam with a TA next week, just so I don't make any same mistakes on the final. Then I can ask her...

  7. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

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

    What about the hospitals that agree to pay off your debt as kind of a signing bonus? I live in Florida now, but when I decided to go to nursing school I was still in Louisiana where I guess that is...

  8. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    Thanks, smattles. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy. He had the same wrong answer for choices b and d, so I am assuming one of them was a typo. I raised my hand and asked him about it,...

  9. How many prereq courses are you taking?

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

    7? Are you alright in the head? Are some labs at least? (Not that that makes them easier, but at least they'll relate to lecture classwork most of the time). I just have A&P I and Life Cycle right...

  10. Failure

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

    I am now 27 and finally finishing up my prereqs for nursing school, but I came from very similar circumstances. I was valedictorian of my high school class and "great" things were expected of me. I...

  11. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    Yay technology! We take our exams in the computer lab and for the multiple choice portion the computer scores it for us immediately. So, I already know I got an A on that part of my first exam. I...

  12. Nursing student check in..

    MB37 replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to move last year, so I had four more prereqs to take here in Florida. This semester I have A&P I and Life Cycle, next semester A&P II and Nutrition. Then hopefully I'll start the...

  13. I don't understand...

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

    It's worth making an appointment with the prof or your TA to make sure first of all that your test was graded correctly. If it was, then make sure you know what you got wrong and why. Does you...

  14. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    I'd wait on a palm pilot until you get into school, then see if they require or recommend any one in particular. Then again, I'm not the most tech savvy person out there. Starzzmom, you're right,...

  15. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    I have the Frederic Martini book, and my first exam is tomorrow. We have 4 exams and a final (each exam is lecture and lab together) and that's it for our grade. No assignments, quizzes, anything...

  16. Working while going to school

    MB37 replied to godsend213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have worked 15-30 hours a week whenever I've been in school, for my first degree and now for the year plus that I've been working on prereqs. I have a husband now, but no kids yet. He has a decent...

  17. Taking anatomy and physiology separately

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

    LSU offers them separately, and you take both your first semester of nursing school instead of as prereqs. If you take them at the same time then they'll probably match up. It'll just be a really...

  18. Jobs while in school?

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

    I bartend 30 hours a week while doing my prereqs, and that's hard. I don't know what I'll do once real nursing school starts next year. My husband works, thankfully, but doesn't make a ton of money so...

  19. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    My class is entirely online, which was the only class I could get into. The same teacher has a lecture section as well, at 8:30 Tuesday mornings, and I initially thought I'd probably attend at least...

  20. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    MB37 replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    Finally found a thread for students on my side of the state...I'm a prenursing student at USF, with one year (4 classes) of prereqs left. A&P I and Devel Psych this semester, A&P II and...

  21. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

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

    I had my first and only meeting of A&P I on Monday. I had to take it online, as the live section filled up first, but apparently it's exactly the same class. He videoed all of his lectures a...

  22. Do you prefer buying books that already have writing in them?

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

    I'm planning on keeping Chem, Micro, A&P, and nutrition. I wouldn't bother with hanging onto a math book unless you struggled with it and might really need to reference it at a later date. Psych I...

  23. Freaking out about Anatomy dissection...

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

    I'm actually worried because we don't get to dissect anything at my current school. We had human cadavers at my old school and got to work on them for two weeks, but then Katrina came and now I live...

  24. online courses???

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

    Thanks guys, if anyone else has any input I'd still appreciate it. I think it might be alright for me

  25. online courses???

    MB37 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just registered for the fall semester, and the only section of A&P that was still open is an online course. I've never taken one of those before - the first time I went to college they didn't...
