    The lesser of all evils?

    Serhilda replied to MochaFiend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The difficulty of these classes can be entirely subjective of course, but personally, I've found a&p 1, 2, and micro to be very manageable. However, science is my strongest subject and always has...

    A&P and Micro together

    Serhilda replied to ksola's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to keep up with your reading because catching up is a pain. I'm taking microbiology, a&p 2, and two other classes this semester and I'm doing well maintaining my 4.0 so far. I think...

    ADN programs in houston

    Serhilda replied to Alliep1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alvin Community College has a fantastic nursing program and so do some of Lonestar's campuses, Montgomery and Cyfair especially. I'd stay away from Lonestar North Harris but they're all approved...

    Prejudice Teacher

    Serhilda replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    This is one generational difference I've definitely started noticing. Older generations seem to encourage the tolerance of prejudice and the degradation of people, especially in the workplace, while...

    Please help :(

    Serhilda replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    As everyone else has said, I'd also not cover for her. She sounds like a nasty person who'd never return the favor for you. I'd simply say nope and be on my way, no apology

    Lonestar FALL 2016.

    Serhilda replied to nmorera's topic in School, College Programs

    I know generally you want to aim for at least a score of 7+ no matter which campus you're applying to. A 7.5 is very competitive from what I've seen too. You don't have to take a&p2 before the...

    Hesi A2

    Serhilda replied to CRD04's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I would highly, highly suggest purchasing the Elsevier study guide. It's by the same makers as the hesi exam and covers everything you'll need. I went over that about 4 times and made an 88 on the...

    HESI

    Serhilda replied to Sarah1114's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I'd highly suggest the Elsevier study guide (3rd edition). Read through that a couple times, take some practice tests you can find online and in the book, don't underestimate the reading and grammar...

    Grades are in! How did you do?

    Serhilda replied to UCFAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it was my first semester and I made all A's in the nursing prereqs I've taken so far. I not only made an A in A&P 1, but a 100.5 lol. It was pretty easy if you actually read the textbook, in...

    To old for nursing school?

    Serhilda replied to wannabeny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many of the nursing students I've seen on campus at my college (a community college) are in their 30s. There were a few people in my a&p class that had kids or were in their late 20s as well....

    Emetophobia and Nursing

    Serhilda replied to A&Pfreak's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't have this particular phobia but many years ago I did have agoraphobia, the fear of going outside. I've fully overcome my phobia now and it took me a few years for the panic attacks to...

    Pre-Req; Intro Biol, Statistics, AP1, AP1,Pysch

    Serhilda replied to caalexan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, just to give you some insight, I personally never had any experience with biology or chemistry and I've still been able to maintain an A+ in A&P, English, and psychology all in my first...

    Is this true? Salary Question

    Serhilda replied to MexicanFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wrong on so many levels. Women that negotiate for a larger salary are often times punished in some way shape or form, so you can't pin that on them. "Women who negotiated faced a penalty 5.5 times...

    So I just need to vent

    Serhilda replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Yikes, I'm sorry your instructor was being unreasonable like that. May I ask if this is common in nursing school? Given how frequently I've heard of this, it's something I'm beginning to see as...

    what should I do with classmate/ friend who won't study but will complain about failing?

    Serhilda replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    Good choice. I dropped 2 people in my A&P class right now and learned it's best to wait on befriending people in class until you figure out what their study habits are lol. Always prioritize...

    Domestic Violence: What Leaving Feels Like

    Serhilda replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    The scariest thing is how some men don't turn violent until you're in a vulnerable position, especially a financially vulnerable position. That's how it happened with me, but thankfully I got out as...

    Pre

    Serhilda replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a good choice. Generally speaking, I hear you can get in with mostly A's, a B won't ruin your chances. If you can focus on getting A's in everything else especially, pulling your grade up to at...

    Nursing with schizophrenia.

    Serhilda replied to Ambwee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This isn't the sort of thing that would ever help you or make you a more attractive employee in the future, unfortunately. You have to remember the stigma attached to mental illnesses such as...

    Serhilda replied to ladysushi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my first semester of pre reqs right now and I'm learning flashcards work great. I also should've been reviewing my notes everyday after class and reading the chapters beforehand... I focused all my...

    Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

    Serhilda replied to ashleylea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good lord! We're about in the same place in A&P and I couldn't even begin to think of an answer. We don't have anywhere near the required knowledge for this complex of a situation, what's your...

    How to do well in A&P

    Serhilda replied to Lorcai14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Watching online animations and taking practice quizzes has been the most helpful for me so far right along with flashcards if the topic seems right. It really just comes right down to putting in the...

    Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Serhilda replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    It's completely reasonable to expect a parent to want a better life for their child then be surprised and hurt when they express otherwise like the OP's mother. It's also interesting how most of the...

    Should I take a full time job while doing prereqs?

    Serhilda replied to sara189's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Sara If you're going to school full-time like I am, I would definitely not risk my grades suffering simply to avoid taking out loans later on. Great student or not, it's definitely going to take...
