1. Pinning Ceremony for nursing students

   Snoopy26 replied to Peetz's topic in General Students

   We get nothing toward the pinning ceremony from my CC. It's all on our own. The college maintains the standard graduation ceremony for those interested.

2. Micro, A&P2, and Nutrition in a 12-week Summer semester?

   Snoopy26 replied to Noel1221's topic in General Students

   I wouldn't do it. I only have my personal experience to go on, but I entered nursing school with a 3.85 GPA and will exit with something like a 3.25 in August - still good enough to get into a BSN program. Your entering GPA is important if you want t...

3. Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite class?

   Snoopy26 replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

   Ten months sounds good to me. My program is 18 months in addition to the prereq's. I can relate to the patient care slave feeling!

7. anyone have a clinical day

   Snoopy26 replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

   I know the feeling about coming back from winter break feeling a bit rusty. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about patients refusing student nurse care except not taking it personally. Any care, med administration, etc., can be refused as w...

8. Ages of male nursing students?

   Snoopy26 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Students

   I'll be 44 when I graduate in August 2010. I started taking prereq's at the age of 39 very part time because I wasn't sure how I would respond to college. I guess you could say things worked out. :)

9. Words of Encouragement

   Snoopy26 replied to diane227's topic in General Students

   Thanks Diane. I have about 8 months to go and am feeling really stupid lately. I was brilliant when I started with a 3.92 GPA, but that is old news. I've been a B/C student and trying my heart out. It's been difficult I have to admit. Thanks for hav...
