  1. What are the pre-reqs for your Nursing Program

    CuriousMe replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We take two terms of pathophysiology and two terms of pharmacology during our nursing program. Peace,

  2. Maric College or Wait!

    CuriousMe replied to hopefulnurse5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they mean academically accredited, so that their credits will transfer to another university when they continue on toward their

  3. Anybody buy a skeleton for A&P?

    CuriousMe replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with your school. We were allowed to check-out a skull and a "bag of bones" which was basically half a skeleton in a bag...while we were in A&P so that we could learn not only all the...

  4. I feel like I'm being singled out VENT

    CuriousMe replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    It doesn't sound like your work deserves the scrutiny that it's getting. I wonder though if this is a case of communication style rather than content. I know that I run up against that sometimes....

  5. Working full-time vs School Full-time

    CuriousMe replied to bound4oregon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people have worked full time while going to nursing school full time....I don't think I could without jeopardizing my health. I did work full time while doing my prereqs full time. I did...

  6. Can you get student loans after a Bankruptcy

    CuriousMe replied to scootersuz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would talk to a bankruptcy lawyer, that way you know the information you get is applicable for your situation in your state. Getting legal advice on message boards is just like getting medical...

  7. What are the pre-reqs for your Nursing Program

    CuriousMe replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    45 credits, which must include: *A&P 1, 2 & 3 *Wring 121, 122 *Math 95 or higher (this is the class before college algebra) *Human development through the lifespan *Nutrition *6 credits of...

  8. Do you need a Laptop?

    CuriousMe replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen folks of all ages do that

  9. seriously considering quitting my job--need suggestions

    CuriousMe replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We all have different reasons for wanting to become a nurse and hers are no more or less valid than some one who feels it's there "calling." To the OP: if you earn an offer of a seat in nursing...

  10. seriously considering quitting my job--need suggestions

    CuriousMe replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If she knew the renter from school? Why not? Understandably she'd want to know the person moving in better than if she was living there by herself....but I've rented from folks who had

  11. seriously considering quitting my job--need suggestions

    CuriousMe replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was thinking the same thing....rent out a room to some other poor college student. If it was someone else trying to get into the nursing program you could also study together at night I was in a...

  12. Have any of us "older" students applied for and received a scholarship?

    CuriousMe replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm about as "non-traditional" as they get at 39 years old and I got an AMAZING scholarship that will pay for 90% of my unmet need until I graduate (and then as long as I graduate with a 3.6...which...

  13. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    CuriousMe replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I confess I haven't read all the replies, so this might have been said already. The best advice I can give is to figure out what your learning style is. Just google "Learning style inventory" and...

  14. Do you need a Laptop?

    CuriousMe replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No doubt flash drives are really useful for transporting files. The caution I'd give though is that they shouldn't be the place you store files. You should always have those files at least one...

  15. Do you need a Laptop?

    CuriousMe replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was a great deal more than $400, but I feel it was worth the investment. (there are plenty of tablet convertables that are much less expensive, but this one best met my needs) I bought the...

  16. Do you need a Laptop?

    CuriousMe replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course no tool (that's all a computer is) will replace paying attention, a good tool can enhance paying attention. I gave up carrying a pencil and a yellow pad. I have a tablet convertible...

  17. Calling all Chemistry students and Chemistry lovers.

    CuriousMe replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    we remembered this with the sentence: leo the lion says ger as far as the rest, as others have said, chemistry is definitely one of those subjects that builds on each class. the key is to keep...

  18. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    CuriousMe replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I generally don't ask what grade folks got, I ask them if they're happy with the grade they got. Everyone has different grade goals, so meeting their personal goals seems to be the indicator on how...

  19. Nursing School Graduation Percentages

    CuriousMe replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Students

    Maybe other places are different, but here in Oregon, Community Colleges (with some few exceptions) have competitive admissions, and are very difficult to get into. Additionally non-traditional...

  20. Quiet Places To Study Late ?

    CuriousMe replied to luckylin08's topic in General Students

    I often go to the coffee shop in Border's bookstore. They're open till 10 or 11 and by later in the evening they're usually pretty quiet. Peace,

  21. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    CuriousMe replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad everything worked out for you. But what a silly thing to say....no one would have laid a hand on you without permission....if the program required it and you didn't want a...

  22. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    CuriousMe replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I know that my letter of admission to nursing school (BSN program) said that my admission was conditional pending the completion of a checklist full of items. The checklist included proof of...

  23. General Chemistry vs. BioChemistry

    CuriousMe replied to nbrody's topic in General Students

    I think it's a different set of coursework. I know my school had 100 level chem in which you did one term of General Chem, one term of Organic Chem and one term of Biochem. Science major chemistry...

  24. How would you describe a good study partner....

    CuriousMe replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    I do 90% of my studying alone, but think my study group has been invaluable for that last 10%. When studying with other like minded folks, I can figure out what I didn't know that I didn't know I...

  25. Grades don't matter!

    CuriousMe replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    WOW....no judgment there huh? Glad to see you're so compassionate and
