  1. I feel so discouraged!

    jess.mont replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    I love that you came back and updated. It's really nice for other students who may be struggling and need an encouraging word. Congratulations on all you

  2. Spring 2017 Chat

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, Jen - I'm sorry! You'll still be able to pull off a decent grade, though. Sometimes I read too fast, too. I'm terrified I'll do that on our new tests, so I'm really trying to train myself to slow...

  3. Online vs. On Campus

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking at a self-directed program as well, and hospitals in our area say they LOVE graduates of the program because they are self-motivated, confident, and independent. You're an excellent...

  4. A&P I Lab Practical

    jess.mont replied to Kvmontes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may need to figure out some study techniques that work better for you. I'll be honest - I think it only gets harder after

  5. A&P lab: How does it work?

    jess.mont replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools structure anatomy separately from physiology, too. So you might have just anatomy one semester and just physiology the next semester. Mine isn't like that; we have 2.5 hours of lecture a...

  6. How do people complete ADN prerequisites in only one year?

    jess.mont replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many people in my classes struggled if they hadn't taken any sciences before A&P - or if it had been a long time since they had. The pre-reqs are there for a reason. I'm not saying a motivated...

  8. How did you memorize the polyatomic anions?

    jess.mont replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep - I agree. Use a combination of mnemonics and language. It really works. Mneumonics for the Polyatomic

  9. Spring 2017 Chat

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did something dumb on my A&P II quiz on Thursday. The question was on spatial summation of post-synaptic potentials and we had to add up the excitatory and inhibitory synapses. I added...

  10. Hey has anyone taken microbiology online with lab that didnt need a lab kit??!

    jess.mont replied to shasaynee's topic in General Students

    The reason 4 credits are required is because you need 3 lecture hours plus 1 lab hour. If you need a lab, then you need the lab kit. You can certainly find courses that use virtual labs, but they are...

  11. Spring 2017 Chat

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got lucky that it was not my idea...I was worried about bringing it up for next year, but since it didn't come from me, I think it made it

  12. Spring 2017 Chat

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We can but hope! I just looked up my professor on Rate My Professor and he gets good ratings for being approachable and understanding, so my fingers are crossed that everything will go well when I...

  13. Spring 2017 Chat

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II and nutrition. I usually only take one class each semester, but my always-homeschooled kid asked to go to school in December! It has been a big change, but really wonderful for...

    jess.mont replied to soshm's topic in General Students

    It would be helpful to know what the class

  15. Mom of 2 with a GED. Is nursing school possible?

    jess.mont replied to Mommyninja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest taking an introductory college math class at your local community college. Most will give you a placement test to show you what level math you should take. Take one class. Next semester,...

    jess.mont replied to Jennifa514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure that your potential schools accept online labs. Only one school I plan to apply to accepts them - no matter where they're

  20. New Nurse at 63 - Too Old?

    jess.mont replied to aimee32907's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My great-aunt became a nurse at 60, and this was 30 years ago. She has since died, but everyone who knew her was incredibly proud of all she accomplished. You can do it,

  25. To take the final or not? Have you done your bone practical yet?

    jess.mont replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I think it would be very stressful to have one grade be the entire course grade. My class is five hours once a week - 2 hours of lab followed 3 hours lecture. We have four lab practicals...
