   Lightning90 replied to sharebear003's topic in General Students

   Dooooooont do it. Its not that great. The pay is horrible. And you are going to be dealing with a lot of body fluids. Think of it as babysitting. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.

2. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

   OMG. Lmao. So many people are defensive about their age. This is hilariously funny. Some people just cant accept the truth.

3. How to get an A in medical terminology course? (Merced College)

   Lightning90 replied to forevermn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Med term is just pure memorization... I would look that teacher up on a rating website. If she's hard or has bad ratings, I would choose another teacher, to make the class easier.

4. Will I get accepted into nursing school

   Lightning90 replied to FutureNurseLk's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you really want to be a nurse, then dont give up. There are plenty of colleges out there that will except everyone (however for some, the waiting list is pretty long). If you dont get into nursing school, then you could always become an LPN. The g...

5. Fell asleep during clinical.

   Lightning90 replied to lolplayingnurse's topic in General Students

   You can expect to get written up but I doubt you would get kicked out. The only way to get kicked out of my program is if you are negligent with your patient, come to class high or hungover or repeatedly fail to do assignments. However, each nursing ...

6. Losing Motivation I Never Had

   Lightning90 replied to parenthetical's topic in General Students

   If i were you, I would stick it out. You only have a little over a year left. Once you graduate, start working as a nurse and see if you like it. If you do, great. If you dont, then go with your original plan.

7. Advice - would this lead to a lawsuit?

8. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

   Lightning90 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh, i sure do love stalkers. I think you might of missed the part where i said "However, if this is your dream, then go for it", but then again, I think my hopes were set too high.

9. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

   Lightning90 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Im sorry, but I have to disagree. 35 IS old. And you always have to think ahead. That user will not be a nurse at 35.. It will definitely take them 4-5 more years if they are starting from scratch. I honestly would not recommend going back to school ...

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

    Lightning90 replied to MelodyTim's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In my opinion, yes it is. Why would you risk doing that? I would apply to at LEAST 1 more school.

11. Jury duty and new grad program

    Lightning90 replied to IGSD777's topic in New Nurse

    Just dont go. Act like you never got the letter in the mail. They have no way of verifying if you actually received the letter. Plus i doubt anything with happen. Do you know how many people skip jury duty? TONS! The court does not have the resources...

    Lightning90 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In my opinion, yes it is. I could never imagine myself going back to school at that age..

13. How many credits is too much

    Lightning90 replied to PrinPringles's topic in General Students

    I would be a little worried about taking 2 science classes and a math class in the same semester. You mentioned you took 14 credits last semester. How was that? Did you feel you had an adequate amount of study time for each class? There are other fac...

14. Feeling a little overwhelmed and discouraged...

    Lightning90 replied to future_nurse_d's topic in General Students

    I think you should focus on finishing school before you start thinking about a career. Dont get ahead of yourself
