1. Probably giving up :((

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks AprilMarie! Well today is the last day. I have to make my final decision. As of last week I was pretty much set on transferring for my Ed. Degree, but the school has really dragged its feet—classes start *Wednesday!* I applied over a month ago...

2. Probably giving up :((

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The job market for nurses in my area is very good from what I understand, not so great at all for teachers, I’m not even sure I could find a job within 20-30 mins drive. My mother is a nurse and she’s definitely had her ups and downs but has had a s...

3. Probably giving up :((

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Louisiana. The only other school I’ve looked into is about an hour commute. It’s still an option and I haven’t ruled it out, but I’m worried that if I don’t get accepted, it’ll take just as long. There’s also no guarantee I’d be successful and I jus...

4. Probably giving up :((

   maybe_baby posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Last semester was by far the most difficult and stressful semester in my many years of college, and it was only one class (divided into lecture and lab). A&PI really kicked my butt. I have a lot of criticisms for the program here. It’s as though ...

5. Delgado/Charity & AP woes

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Update: just sharing that i PASSED! With Cs. Ordinarily I’d be sad about those grades but at this point I’m just glad I passed. It was a rough semester, that was by far the toughest class I’ve ever taken, and my kids really kept me busy (not to menti...

6. Failed AP + Lab

   maybe_baby replied to Tim Burton's topic in General Students

   I’d suggest the same as another person posted, meet with an advisor. Are there any alternative nursing programs in your area? It’s a shame that one bad semester could eliminate you as a candidate, especially if you retook it and proved you mastered t...

7. Delgado/Charity & AP woes

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Someone told me the same thing last week in lab class about the Kaplan. She warned me not to waste my money on the book but said that the quizlets are useful and they’re free, so I’m going to try. I have the book anyway and I’m just going to use it, ...

8. A&P Lab exam question

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It is definitely intense anxiety (though I still confess that I probably didn’t know it as well as I thought). But everyone I’ve talked to about it tells me that if I can’t handle that I won’t be able to handle nursing school and that I need to learn...

9. A&P Lab exam question

   maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for your replies everyone! I think I was just exasperated with and sad about my grade. If I’m honest with myself, I probably did not study hard enough and you’re right—I definitely need to improve my study tactics and habits. Im trying to keep...

10. A&P Lab exam question

    maybe_baby posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Perhaps specific to my school (Delgado Community College/Charity School of Nursing), but I’m curious about everyone else’s experiences as well—I’m taking a lab class and it is the hardest class I’ve ever taken. I think I know the material, I study fo...

11. Delgado/Charity & AP woes

    maybe_baby posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am back after a decade. I had a baby last time I started pre-nursing (unplanned) and gave up for a while. He’s almost 9 now so I jumped back in and A&P is snapping me right back into academic reality. It’s so frustrating. I memorize each chapte...

12. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

    maybe_baby posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    (skip to last paragraph to get to the point) I dropped out of high school and went to college when I was 17. I didn't go willingly. Mom was disappointed about the whole "not finishing high school" thing, and my boyfriend told me he wanted to marry a ...

13. Hi! Newby!

    maybe_baby replied to maybe_baby's topic in Louisiana

    thanks! i do have a lot of questions. i'm going to try the search, but meantime, i'll post my questions anyway, just in case someone is in the mood to answer. i applied to dcc last march, paid the application fee, registered for classes, so on and so...

14. Hi! Newby!

    Hi! I'm 28. mother of 3, thinking about going back to school @ Delgado, and hopefully, to CSN. I have a few pre-reqs to get out of the way. My mom went to Charity when I was 13, and I know it was a lot of work, and I went to LPN school very briefly ...
