  1. A&P here I come!

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

    Dibs nothing, at my school it's the only way to get into classes. The spring A&P class I wanted filled up in 4 minutes (yes, four minutes). That was the 10am class, the 8am class I did get into...

  2. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

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

    well, with no context given, i just pulled up a def from wikipedia: a recitation is a discussion carried by a teaching assistant (ta) to supplement a lecture given by a senior faculty at an academic...

  3. UPDATE: Who is still waiting on 2007 acceptance?

    CuriousMe replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I won't find out till the beginning of May whether or not I'll be asked back for a proctored essay, then we'll find out at the end of May who actually gets in. Peace,

  4. Micro in the summer?

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

    Here's what I do for as many of my classes as I can...especially for short summer ones....I start early. First I go online to my school website and do a search for my Prof's name and the course...

  5. How many classes are to many?

    CuriousMe replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how much time you have to devote to school. For my online classes, I was told that you need to figure more time outside of class (since there isn't a class, its all at your own...

  6. Is it this hard to get into med. school??

    CuriousMe replied to jonb1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a note that my nursing school app process seems pretty different from yours. We have the standard app, and a petition for points, then the addendum with your Winter grades added.....the top 150%...

  7. Jobs for student nurses?

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

    I do the same kind of job....but I only work 7 hour shifts :) and the house I work in is more medical than behavioral....but we do have incidents on occasion. Yes, we pass meds. It's considered home...

  8. How many classes are to many?

    CuriousMe replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all comes down to math unfortunately. With only 24 hours in a day (if you find a way to get more.....please let me know :) ) you need to decide how many of those will be used for school. Once you...

  9. I have a feeling!!!!!!!!!

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

    I know I won't hear until the beginning of May. My school is on quarters not semesters, our Winter term has just ended and those grades will be added to our applications.....so they really haven't...

  10. A&P II Club, 2007

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

    My school is on quarters and not semesters, so A&P2 is over for me and I start A&P3 on Monday. This past term was crazy....so I'm glad it was a term and not a semester. Peace,

  11. Why is pre-nursing forum so quiet???

    CuriousMe replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, for me, it's finals time. I shouldn't even be here now :) Peace,

  12. A&P II Club, 2007

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

    My school does A+'s, although it's up to the individual Proff. Generally, they outline in their sylabus what numerical grade you need for each letter grade (-/+ included). For most of my Proff's,...

  13. Perhaps a different health related career.

    CuriousMe replied to tman6366's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard of this profession, but only at a masters level. Since technology is what I've been doing for a job for the past decade or so, it's something I looked into when I first thought about...

  14. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i think what the past few posters are trying to say is that they do apply to their experiences here, they just don't apply to everyone's (including yours).....but then again, very few things apply to...

  15. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The "problem" that Mac theoretically solved is that if you're using your laptop with the power cord laying across a walkway and someone trips over it, it could damage the laptop. So, Apple made the...

  16. Pre-nursing student... What's your job??

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

    What training/education did you need for your job? Peace,

  17. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Not Good" might be a strong statement. It's just new. I try not to move to a new OS for a year or so. But with the hardware requirement differences between the two OS's, it might be worth it to...

  18. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I meant Apple...in my opinion, they fixed something that wasn't broken. We must be in a parallel universe, because I haven't experienced this at all. The only time I've had any difficulty is when a...

  19. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me I guess. I assure you I'm not dreaming, I'm just big on not fixing things that aren't broken. As I said earlier, after ten + years of supporting laptop users (I was a computer repair...

  20. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Curlysue, With either a Mac or a PC you'll need Microsoft Office to work in Word or Excel. I've used blackboard as well, it's a pretty good virtual classroom tool. Peace,

  21. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a few comments here My Grandmother uses her PC just fine, no class taken, and no troubles. If you have anti virus-spyware on your computer, that auto updates, you'll have no troubles with...

  22. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had good experiences with HP, but make sure to get your hands on one before buying it. Their hardware layout (keyboard and mouse placement, etc) doesn't seem to be as ergonomic as others. It...

  23. Question on laptop

    CuriousMe replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a Thinkpad tablet (which I love) and it was a bit pricey, but you can find tablets under 2 grand both new (I think Toshiba's R20 is about $1,100) and from internet resellers. As far as the...

  24. Do you think grades are universal?

    CuriousMe replied to Mom2J&B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like this varies from school to school. I know that in my area, the CC program is very competitive. I have a 4.13 and it's unlikely I'll get in this term. It's not a lottery basis, but a...

  25. PDA's, iPods, and all the tech gadgets...

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

    Could be lots of reasons....a simple one might be they don't have a computer at home. A PDA is useless without a computer, since you have no other way to load information on the thing. Peace,
