   reese19 replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I re-type my notes and outline the main things in the book that my professor talked about ... I use different fonts, bolding, different colors for different terms or emphasis ... Then I study what I've typed over and over again. I also complete the ...

   I am a SAHM with two small boys (ages 18 mos. and 3 1/2 yrs). I just started my pre-req's this fall, and since doing so, I have had to make some changes, especially in my outlook on things ... For instance, if the house isn't perfect, oh well. The l...

3. 1st degree worth anything?

   reese19 replied to jennifers's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I also have a previous BA. Here's what I've been told regarding a previous degree: You do have to obtain a BSN to get your Master's in Nursing; a previous baccalaureate degree in another field won't suffice. I do not think an employer would necessari...

5. TEAS vs. NET...

   reese19 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know others have probably asked this question on this board, but what is the difference between the TEAS and the NET? A while back, I bought the study guide for the NET, but then later realized that I have to take the TEAS, not the NET. So I was ...

6. Biol and Chem

   reese19 replied to bayarea's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am currently taking Anatomy and Chemistry, and I don't think it's that bad. The best advice I have, especially regarding Anatomy, is to study your material every night because it really is a ton of info and you don't want to get behind. Anyway, yo...

   reese19 replied to new_mom2005's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know how you feel. I have two young sons (ages 1 and 3), and I just started pre-req's this fall. I attend school at night, so my DH watches them while I'm at school. But I study a lot, which takes time away from my kids. BUT, I'm realizing how ...

   I understand your feelings, too. I have a two sons, ages 3 1/2 and 17 months. For now, I'm taking two night classes a week. Even though I'm only gone two nights a week, I still have to spend a lot of time studying at home. This has greatly limite...

    reese19 replied to onexmorexgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi, I can relate to what you're saying. But first, I want to commend you for choosing a career such as nursing at a young age. You'll have the stability and security you mentioned. I, on the other hand, graduated from college at 21 years old with ...
