    Which aspects of chemistry are important for nursing, truly?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to LilaDavis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't really care for chemistry either, until I got to bio-chem - that was what felt like it was relevant to my goals. But that was chem 2, and not everyone needs that. Just hang in there - it'll...

    Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    I took two sciences together (A&P II and Micro) and it was fine. I think two sciences, given the right teachers and study habits, is totally doable. What type of Chemistry is it? Intro?

    The dreaded two-week wait

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waited for almost 6 weeks. It was torture, but the end result was totally worth it! Hang in

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My comment that abortion is legal is completely relevant - and the fact that it wasn't in the past only strengthens my argument. Once we know better, we do better. The same applies with slavery. I'm...

    BSN now or RN-BSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Tajin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into Accelerated BSN programs? They are generally for people that have a previous Bachelor's degree and they take from 15-18

    None of us are going to have that answer. We have no idea what your particular teacher at your particular college put on their final

    Bad grade for 1st chemistry exam

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think first tests are always difficult because you don't really know what to expect, or how to study for them. Consider how the test was set up vs. your expectations - what was different? Where did...

    Struggling in basic Chem, unsure of my future in Nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Kellcat's topic in General Students

    Re: Studying: I know this sounds weird, but have you ever tried color coding your notes? I, too, have problems with recall during tests - I'll know the material inside and out, but when it comes time...

    Question please answer!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to AddictedToCoffee4657's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm 38. 1. Feeling well. I have a medical condition that brings pain and other issues, so I'll never be the textbook definition of "healthy" - but if I feel well, I define that as being my version of...

    Looking for Online Microbiology Course withLab

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to gmacri's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would do a community college hybrid, too. Microbiology is (IMO) intensive - in a good way. It was a lot of fun and one of the few classes I really think should be taken in person. Good

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    I guess you have your answer then. I'm sorry - but it sounds like this is the absolute best time to get into school and create your own life. You're worth it. Best of luck to

    Trouble with A&P I

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to guest517's topic in General Students

    I did a lot of visual flashcards (pictures instead of words). I "taught" my dog concepts that I was having trouble understanding. I went to tutoring at least once a week (twice on test weeks). For...

    ABORTION IS LEGAL. I'm so tired of people ringing their hands over a perfectly legal, acceptable, necessary medical procedure because it makes them uncomfortable! It doesn't matter how it makes you...

    Another "Am I good enough" Post!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to JCadmus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can retake the TEAS as many times as you want, but that doesn't mean schools will take your second score. That's something that varies from school to school, so you should check to make sure it's...

    Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    I can appreciate where you're coming from, but we only have one side of the story. That's not to say that the OP is lying, just that I think it's incredibly premature to claim abuse. And I say this as...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NurseRoseBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What should I do! Opinions needed!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to August E's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, look at the requirements for each school. Some allow current enrollment, some don't. I wouldn't waste my time or my money applying to schools that I won't get into. You should also check each...
