1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

   trae55 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

   The schedule is great for moms (3 day a week work schedule). The pay isn't great (it'll be a paycut for me), but it's good pay if you want to work part-time or prn. I may need to do that in the future. I've wanted to be a nurse since high school man...

2. what is a good age to be done with school?

   trae55 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

   I'll be 35 when I graduate. I probably should have waited a few years so all of my kids would be in school, but I want to do it now. I was in college when I met my husband. He wanted to move out of state for school and I dropped out and went with...

3. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   Maybe it depends on your state? I'm in TX and we have to do everything different, even call our program ADN when everyone else calls it ASN (except CA, I believe).

4. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   From what I heard, there can only be so many hours in the ADN program so they have more and more classes considered a prereq. I read it on this board from a grad from my school. I was wondering why all of these classes were considered prereqs.

5. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   I'm in an ADN program and it's a prerequisite. I'm taking it right now and start the program this fall. Well, we have another nursing class (intro to basic care) that's also a prereq that I have to take this summer. I've heard these are prereqs so...

6. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

   trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas

   I don't believe so. I haven't seen too many Montgomery students on here. Most are going to Cy-Fair and North Harris. One good thing about going to Montgomery is that our orientation is only a few weeks away!

   Congratulations!!!

8. Am I asking for the impossible??

   trae55 replied to Mommyof3Boys's topic in Texas

   The hill country is nice. It's not near the ocean, but TX beaches are only decent south of Corpus. Do you get used to the heat and humidity? NO! I've lived here most of my life and I'm still not used to it. Austin is very liberal so that wouldn'...

9. I Need Help With My Pharmacology Exam!

   trae55 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

   That's how my tests are, too. Just read, make notes, and go over it a few times. It will start to stick. It helps me to organize my notes so I can start to see the differences in what I'm looking at. At first, all the adverse effects and contrain...

10. Pre-Nursing Student (TX) needs advice on what track to pursue :)

    trae55 replied to FutureNurseJT's topic in General Students

    What about UT Tyler or Houston? They are all different in terms of how hard it is to get in.

11. Are females attracted to male nurses....or just really laugh at the males doing this?

    trae55 replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

    It depends on the male nurse.

12. Opinion needed-trads,non-trads and very non-trads

    trae55 replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    There are two groups of annoying people, imo. The ones who talk bad about the teacher, get annoyed about everything we have to do, and complain when they don't do well on a test (it couldn't possibly be their fault) are typically younger. Then, the...

13. Annoying and disruptive classmates (vent)

    trae55 replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    That sucks! Sorry, but I don't think there's anything you can do except ignore her. I'm amazed she hasn't been talked to yet by the instructor. It sounds like she needs to get a firmer grip on this lady. I'm in my early thirties and consider myself a...

14. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas

    Or does anyone know if the Fast Track hep B is accepted at Lone Star? My doctor said the soonest I could be done was four months. If you get your first this month you could have them done before the start of school. You'll miss the deadline, but i...

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Maybe they're just getting them out late? I just got my second hep b shot. I'll get the last one right before the deadline in July. Have you started yours?
