    I need help with A&P2

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Zoumounou1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to second what everyone else is saying here and say you've really got to -learn- this stuff; I've got classmates trying to coast through this, and whining that they can't complete a...

    Terrified of starting my nursing program

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Elysha10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be sorry - Thanks for posting! I have troubles like this sometimes; I'm scared to death of the nursing program and sometimes I get like the whole anxiety chest tightness just thinking about it....

    Anyone struggling or struggled with Microbiology?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is one of those things that gets easier the more you familiarize yourself with it - be sure to ask your professor for help if you need it, or if they are busy, perhaps there's a classmate that is...

    Heavy Reading Tips?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to hallolizzie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I study in short bursts and then study like I am preparing to teach someone the material I'm covering. (Essentially I am, because I already tutor A&P1, will be eligible to tutor A&P2 next...

    Anatomy & Physiology??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Amber98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P 1 isn't bad - it's just a LOT of memorization and even throws a bit of the basic stuff at you (very basic chemistry and whatnot) The key is to stay organized, ask for help when you need it...

    Do I really need a tutor for the Pre-NLN entrance exam?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to PrinPringles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like this more than once if I could - solid

    Do I really need a tutor for the Pre-NLN entrance exam?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to PrinPringles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For mathematics, use khan academy - it's amazing! The list of stuff included on the exam is long; it seems daunting but when you break it down it's not so bad - Free In-depth PAX-RN Test Prep -...

    They help to break up the monotony of textbooks every now and again

    Micro & A&P

    Wiggly Litchi replied to robin98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to do Micro and A&P 1 together - manage your time well. A&P 1 is a LOT of information - the muscles, skeletal system, nervous system (we had 3 chapters on the nervous system alone...

    Personal Statement Review

    Wiggly Litchi replied to preaggienurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so I've cut a lot of stuff out- personally, I'd leave the part about you failing the anatomy course out... and possibly the closet color coding haha. Formatting is a tad off because I've...

    Personal Statement Review

    Wiggly Litchi replied to preaggienurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try to consolidate/rephrase it a bit; do you have to reach a specific word count? I can try and get a little editing done, might take a few mins

    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    I think it's pretty doable as long as you can effectively manage time well. A&P didn't take much of my day as long as I was actively studying and not looking up cat pictures online. Quizlet is a...

    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    A&P 2 Microbiology Psychology Statistics This will be my last semester of pre-reqs and the pressure is ON @_@. I got straight A's last semester - every test, paper, exam, quiz, whatever; all A's,...

    What to do with a bf who just wants me for my degree

    Wiggly Litchi replied to mstaurus2016's topic in General Students

    Be cordial but honest. You don't have to go into explicit detail and say that you read the messages (though you could if you reaaally want to), but say that your heart isn't in the relationship and it...

    Private vs Community College for LPN?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to lizzieh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA why am i going back into training?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to montyadeleemma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In your CNA certification exam, something that would contribute to a fall was a critical/instant fail, and for good reason. You are lucky that your patients weren't injured; what if they'd broken a...

    Career changers - is it worth the change?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the beginning stages here; 30 years old and doing a complete switch. It's worth it. The late nights, the very limited 'me' time (I make sure to maintain enough to get to the gym though), and even...

    I need advice! For a pre-nursing student!

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Working during your pre-nursing stage won't really do anything for you unless 'maybe' in a healthcare setting - even then, most schools only care about your grades (especially the grades you get in...

    CNA certification exam

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I got my CNA certification a few years back, I didn't use a review book; That being said, we were given what we lovingly called 'The Bible' - which was a few printouts of the skills we had to...

    A & P and Microbiology

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Liveinthemoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro and A&P2 together in the coming semester, along with statistics and general psych. It's absolutely doable. I had a 4-class load last semester and made straight As, I will strive...

    Benefit to being a Nursing Assistant while taking prerequisites?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Hsmith1522's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly? Not really... And I say this as a CNA I won't sugarcoat it... but being a CNA and a nurse are completely different. As a CNA, most of the time I feel like a glorified housekeeper and I'm...
