3. Nursing school? - with toddlers?

   LoriB replied to d&d's mom's topic in General Students

   I have a 14 year old and a 16 year old. It can be done. Ok I'm kidding. My boys don't bother me, it's my hubby. :) Anyway, when I start the real nursing courses and feel overwhelmed, I'm going to read about Teresa. Unbelievable! I am so impress...

4. OH NO... Nursing Pre-Entrance Exam Practice

   LoriB replied to wildcard's topic in General Students

   My ADN program changed the rules so that you can take all the "pre"requisites as "co"requisites. You don't need to complete any first, but from what I've heard the best thing is to get them done first because the nursing program itself is intense.

5. OH NO... Nursing Pre-Entrance Exam Practice

   LoriB replied to wildcard's topic in General Students

   It is my understanding you only have to take the NET now and not the RNEE. Check with the school before you make yourself crazy. The NET is simple math and reading comprehension. That's it.

6. Scared!!!!

   LoriB replied to MOONIELOVE's topic in General Students

   The NET is simple. It's reading and simple math like addition, subtraction. Don't even sweat it. You'll be fine! Lori

7. Accelerated BSN

   LoriB replied to Ranchgirl30's topic in General Students

   I looked at it and actually was accepted to the same one EmeraldNYL was in and decided I was not willing to give up my family for a year (which I know I would have to do). I'm doing a two year ADN program and then will probably get my BSN at the hos...

   LoriB replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in General Students

   Oh Sandy, that sounds wonderful. Of course I can appreciate being late for class and running. I was just teasing you because I'm envious over here in NJ. :) LOL at PeggySue. I too like the exercise part of it when I'm on time but otherwise when I ...

   LoriB replied to RudeyMvp's topic in Career Support

   I'm a 38 year old web developer. I finished school (with my BS in Computer Science) last December and applied to the nursing program for next year. You are not alone. I have the EXACT same concerns as you but I'm going to give it a shot. The comp...

    You're in Hawaii. You are not allowed to complain. Just kidding. :) :) :) Lori (who will be quite envious as I walk through two feet of snow to class this winter)

    LoriB replied to maddyfan's topic in General Students

    I KNOW that is going to be me. You just wait. I'll be posting the same thing (hopefully in January) except my title will say I CAN believe it. It's going to take me a while to toughen up, I'm sure. It means you're caring and in the right place. ...
