    Online A&P Advice

    Quota replied to pinky77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't compare to taking A&P in person but I just finished A&P I online and start A&P II in just over a week. It is a lot of work but I wouldn't really call it difficult. At least not...

    Quota replied to Zipporah2's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but am I the only one shaking their head laughing at the idea of a 22 year old being too old to start nursing school? Or even better all their friends, presumably of similar age, being well...

    Giving notice to your employer

    Quota replied to Kcarter0430's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't plan on telling my employer about my nursing school plans until I'm accepted into a program. That will still be months before I'd actually leave and allow them time to hire my replacement and...

    Anatomy 2 & Chem or Anatomy 2 & Micro

    Quota replied to Bball4334's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on you and your strengths and weaknesses. For me Chemistry is just a class I can't enjoy. I already have a Biology degree from years ago and took 16 credits of Chemistry required...

    I've been toying with the idea of a career change from doing lab work for a biotech company to nursing for years. Finally I've decided I'm really over working in a lab and my best option is a whole...

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks for the feedback Trhl09! I've definitely decided I'd much prefer getting in to the GMU program at this point. I'll still apply to Marymount as well, with Chem class pending, as a back up....

    Quota replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess you're educational background is also a big factor in this. I already have a BS in Biology so a lot of the information covered in A&P is review for me so far. The class does go into...
