1. Heading to the bookstore...

   wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow, that's a good idea. I didn't even realize you could buy something like that, but I def think I would benefit from it, b/c math doesn't come easily to me. Thanks!!

2. Got my letter from the college

   wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I start school Sept 6. I can't wait. I have two text books so far, but they're not mine. I borrowed from someone who was in the class last year. The woman at orientation said that they might or might not be the same books as I will be using for my c...

3. Got my letter from the college

   wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree about the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything happened so fast. I hear so many horror stories about being on waiting lists, etc. I procrastinated in taking my entrance exam for the purpose of trying to find after school care for my chi...

4. Who Would Like To Be Part Of The Lose Weight And Get Healthy Team?!

   wrobelchic replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing

   lol, boy do I know that feeling (lifting the girls a little bit higher). Well, congrats on the weight lost and keeping it off. I think the hardest part for me is though I'm an intelligent person and KNOW it won't come off over night, I get upset that...

5. Heading to the bookstore...

   wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks so much. I didn't think about skipping around. LOL. I'm doing really well with the fundamentals. I'm re-learning some stuff I learned when I was certified almost 8 years ago and learning lots of new stuff and terminology too. I'll break out an...

   wrobelchic replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Joann, well, I am taking mine at Questar lll which is a part of Boces, I believe. I'm taking their LPN program. I'm in Troy, however. I plan at some point in the future to further my education and go for my RN, but I'd really like to get the exper...

7. Who Would Like To Be Part Of The Lose Weight And Get Healthy Team?!

   wrobelchic replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If it's not too late, I think I'll start too. Ok, so I'm more than 3 months late on this one (wouldn't be the first time). Anyway, a co-worker and I decided we were going to diet together and be each other's support and oh, I don't know, we have fami...

   wrobelchic replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing

10. Got my letter from the college

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you both so very much. I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. And my poor co-workers, that's all they hear about now, lol. One of my girls is even calling me "nurse". lol.

11. Heading to the bookstore...

    wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That last post was really good advice. The problem here is, I work as a CNA and my nurse really takes me under her wing and tries to let me watch and/or help and tries to teach me things sometimes. A co-worker who was enrolled in the same school just...

12. Good nursing Lit?!?

    wrobelchic replied to Nurmom86's topic in Pre-Nursing

    One more thing I didn't think of until just recently, do you know anyone who already went through nursing school? I asked a co-worker of mine who was enrolled just this year if I could borrow one of his text books. It'll give me a little bit of a jum...

    Hi! I work full time as a CNA and I'm a mother of 4 boys, ages, 11, 8, 7, and 2. My household is pretty busy. Hubby helps alot, though we don't see each other. My mother was employed full time with 3 kids ranging in age from grade to middle school wh...

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congrats to you!! That's great. I'm floating on the same cloud you are! I received my acceptance letter in the mail today. I knew I was going, but now I have it on paper!!:balloons:

15. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    wrobelchic replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Golden Scroll, where are you from? I'm from NY. Right now, I work in a County owned LTC facility and we're union so all LPN's make the same amount. Starting I will make only approximately $17 which is what my Sister-in-Law (working in the same facili...
