    Microbiology and A&P 2?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking them together right now, with two other classes. I'm not having an issue, but I don't work (though I do homeschool my

    Ask A Stupid Question . . . .

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Not my story, but a nurse friend of mine walked in on a new nurse squirting morphine into a patients mouth because she couldn't figure out how to administer via the

    Prerequisites

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Shakiria100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would choose Algebra over Stats. And I'm really surprised there's no chem requirement for micro. It's really chemistry heavy, IMO. I'm taking A&P II and Micro this semester (with two other...

    Good luck cimarron! Things are going well over here - busy though. I'm perpetually tired. But I'm loving micro and A&P II. World Religions is really interesting, but I'm finding Government to be...

    Study advice for Chem 1

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

    I never really used my book in Chemistry unless it was to clarify something I didn't understand. Pretty much all my science classes use information from lectures/outlines/notes from the teacher,...

    Kindly recommend some textbooks for me

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Porsche341's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't study anything yet - teachers vary quite a lot in their teaching (names of things, and things you're required to know). I wouldn't want to waste time on something I don't need and...

    Study Groups or Study Alone ???

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Paola2319's topic in General Students

    I'm prefer to study on my own, too. But I went to a group study session last semester and found myself quizzing the rest of my group - essentially teaching them, which (for me) is a great way to...

    You Don't Really Need Chemistry For Nursing, Do You?

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

    I keep coming back to this question in my mind. Everything that happens in our bodies is a chemical reaction. Your muscle moving, blood clotting, or breathing occurs because of chemical reactions. So...

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

    How is everyone? Hanging in there? I'm good, just a little tired. Being up at the school for about 20 hours a week, then homeschooling is a bit harder than I imagined. We switched up the cirriculuim...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

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

    Yeah, I'm genuinely curious. When I went to college at 18, I had a 2.3 GPA. I hated school and wasn't interested in learning. Now my GPA is a 3.6 and I absolutely love everything I'm doing. I'm a...

    I need one for my Micro class. I looked at a store last night - and the prices were ridiculous. Any recommendations online? Thanks in

    I'm sorry - I know how scary it all is. If it helps at all, I don't remember a thing from either of my colonoscopies. The "worst" part was the prep. I'll keep you in my

    Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The main reasons I decided to join were the access to a *lot* of good scholarships and the opportunities for networking (recommendation letters, contacts, etc). I'm sure if I put more time into it,...

    Is it stupid for applying only one school in the nursing program?

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

    In my area there are two BSN programs, and one is incredibly expensive (and you have to take bible/religious classes). There are two ADN programs, but I'm not interested in getting my ADN. So I'm only...

    My interview went great!!! I'm the newest NICU baby cuddler/feeder. She wants to rotate me around, too so I can get a good feel for the hospital and make contacts. The volunteer coordinator also said...

    Too many science prerequisite repeats??

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

    My school allows 0 repeats. Well, you can repeat as much as you'd like, but they don't count. Your first grade is the only one taken into consideration. I'd make sure your repeats mean you can't...
