1. Asing this question again...........

   Chantels1 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I always love threads like this. It makes me feel so "normal"! I am 32 working on my pre-reqs and hope to apply to the nursing program after the fall of 2008!!! Yay. Our program has an average of an 18 month wait, so I won't get in until 2009 or 2010...

2. Help with registering for classes

   Chantels1 replied to Chantels1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks. I am hoping it isn't as bad as I am anticipating. Cellular respiration and glycolysis was really hard for me to grasp. Since microbiology works a lot on the cellular level, I hope it isn't all difficult for me to grasp. I should end up wi...

3. Help with registering for classes

   Chantels1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school has priority registration based on your sSN#. This semester I was 3rd out of 4 days, so Anatomy was full. I found a spot in Microbiolgy though. Is it OK taking Micro b4 Anatomy & physiology? I am taking Bio right now, so at least th...

4. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

   Chantels1 replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My advice would be to stick out this class, then decide. If you drop now you will always have the what if's....... Maybe volunteer at a local hospital and see if nursing still feels right. Either way, don't give up just yet! Good luck. Chantel

5. I Need Help Really Bad!!!!!

   Chantels1 replied to **new!!'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   My bio instructor is like this too. Encouraging struggling students to drop... My advice is to ignore the instructor and get a tutor. Sometimes hearing something explained in a different fashion is a big help. I like the advice on reading with a ...

6. Lung Exams

   Chantels1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   This should probably go in the Nursing student section, but I thought you all might like to see this anyway. I was just looking up pictures on the net to convince my husband to quit smoking. I came across this site on how to do a lung exam and thou...

7. I'm so overwhelmelmed!

   Chantels1 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I second the dayplanner/calendar it really helps. Also, prioritize. Make sure that you keep school a priority. Pampered chef party or studying... definitely go for the study time. Yeah, you will have to give up some family time to complete all y...

8. Hate my Micro lab partner........3 more months of this......ugh!

   Chantels1 replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Think of it as job training. We all have to learn to work with people we don't like. Fortunately you know it's only 3 years! Good luck coping!

9. What do you think?

   Chantels1 posted a topic in MICU

   My husband is on his way back to the ER this morning. I will give you a brief report of his accident. Please note that I am not seeking professional advice. I am just curious. Anyway, Thursday he was in an accident at work. The Earth Mover he wa...

10. Feel Good Campaigns by Hospitals

    Chantels1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it these things go so wrong? Could it possibly be that some employees are not happy, chose not to be happy and will complain and find fault in anything? I tend to be an optimist and I believe in the motto that you shouldn't look a gift horse ...

11. Uh-oh. Tempted to change my major...

    Chantels1 replied to December716's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Why not check into doing a job shadow with a dental assistant. That way you can see all the duties and responsibilities and make an informed decision?

12. Really Ticked Off !!!! (yes I Am Shouting)

    Chantels1 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Let us know what happens. I hope it wasn't a misunderstanding on your friend's part! Too bad the professor didn't answer your question so you would know. Good luck with the dean!

13. Waitlisted For A&p!!

    Chantels1 replied to faithful11's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was waitlisted for BIO. It was closed for the longest time, but I kept checking online and finally got on the waitlist in July. I was 7th out of 7 allowed to be on the waitlist. Perserverance paid off though because about 1 week and a half ago e...

14. I could use a Pep Talk

    Chantels1 replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Coolpeach - can we trade kids for a while? I can get the 3 older kids(7, 5, & 3) in bed by 8:30, but the baby (15 months) just won't cooperate. She is attached to mommy at the hip! If I start to read anywhere near her, she walks up and close...
