1. before you were a nursing student, did you ever feel discouraged?

   tripp3horn replied to jess1029's topic in General Students

   Yes, I felt that way at one point. However, the passion and desire to become a nurse was more powerful than my fear of not becoming a nurse. Find that passion and let it be the fuel. Say you don't get accepted on the first attempt.. then try again! A...

2. Is this cheating?

   tripp3horn replied to BCurtis's topic in General Students

   Yes, it is cheating. And at my school my instructors have said that if we know of any cheating going on that it is our moral responsibility to let them (the instructors) know of the cheating. They compared it to witnessing dishonest behavior while wo...

3. Just need a little motivaton

   tripp3horn replied to gorjiss0415's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You are doing great! For some, it takes 20+ years for them to make the decision that you are making. And that is completely fine! You will meet lots of people in the same situation you are in and lots of people who are in completely different situati...

5. I did horrible on my medical terminology test

   tripp3horn replied to JenWork's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's not bad, trust me. I took med term w/students who failed it. Seriously. I made tons of flash cards and used a dry-erase board to write the words over and over and over again. You're doing great! Don't worry!

6. Please explain Baker College to me

   tripp3horn replied to MySimplePlan's topic in Michigan

   Looking at emails and SPEAKING TO INSTRUCTORS is not the criteria for admissions. It is to help prepare the student for the work place. Attending class in your slippers is unprofessional. Sitting back and not participating in class does not help you ...

7. Please explain Baker College to me

   tripp3horn replied to MySimplePlan's topic in Michigan

   I may be a little late with this but as someone who is finishing up pre-req's at Baker, I feel I have a little insight. It's not the school that is bad, it is the students!! The Baker College student mentality drives me insane! First of all, before ...

9. Time Management Tips, PLEASE!!

   tripp3horn replied to tripp3horn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you! I am doing some everyday but your suggestion of viewing the chapter first and breaking that apart is very helpful. I think if I set a goal of what to study for each subject everyday and then give myself a day of review before the tests, I ...

    Hi Everyone, I'm currently taking A&PII and micro. My A&P lecture and lab and micro lecture are all on the same day. So that means I have three quizzes in one day, every week. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for this! I have...

13. Questions about Baker's Application Process

    tripp3horn posted a topic in Michigan

    Hi All! I was wondering if someone could tell me the process of Baker's clinical application process. I'm going to talk to the Dean about this but I was just curious if someone here wouldn't mind filling me in. What are the steps in applying? What do...

14. Pre Nursing student advice please

    tripp3horn replied to ashhart08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In many cases, community colleges have waiting lists. So, by the time you get into a community college you'll probably be ready to apply at the school you're already attending. I agree with the previous poster, not only will your credits transfer but...

    tripp3horn replied to tripp3horn's topic in General Nursing

    Funny how times have changed... when I was four I wanted to be a mail-lady or a truck driver. It makes me feel good to know that my daughter is so proud of me. I am trying so hard to be a good mom and a good nursing student. She is beginning to under...
