1. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

   Addy3 replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is such a personal decision, and can be a very touchy subject! My answer if you NEEDED the money, would be to just put your guilt aside. That being said, I have 4 kids and we dont need two incomes right now (it would be nice). I have put off nur...

2. Online classes good enough?

   Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   LMAO. I know what you mean, I actually showed my husband some of the discussions because they were SO BAD. I can only imagine what it would be like in class. Using shorthand or abbreviations in a class discussion forum is really not ok.

3. Pregnant during nursing school?

   Addy3 replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

   I havent been to nursing school yet, but I have had 4 babies. The first thing that comes to mind is the complete and utter exhaustion you feel during pregnancy, even in the early months. The other thing that would freak me out is "mommy brain" not a ...

4. Alcohol for umbilical cord?????

   Addy3 replied to lillybellsmom's topic in General Students

   In 99' with my twins they said wipe it with alcohol. In 2004 and 2007 with my other 2 they said to just keep it dry. Oddly enough the ones who we used nothing on fell off much sooner....like a whole week.

5. Online classes good enough?

   Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thats good to know! By the time I actually apply to nursing school I will have transcripts from 4 different schools.....that's one of the joys of being a military spouse. I know what you mean about having to teach yourself the material, I have felt ...

6. Annapolis area schools...

   Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Maryland

   Thanks I will check out the surrounding areas. We actually have 4 kids, so we will need to rent a house. The military gives us Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and its adjusted according to the area you're stationed in. From pictures I've seen it re...

7. Online classes good enough?

   Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks! Im have a strong read/writing learning style, so the classes I have been taking work really well for me. When it comes to math though, I need to see someone work out the problem:/

8. Online classes good enough?

   Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks guys, that's good advice. I know that A&P can be taken online, but I think that I will need to take it in-class. I want to prepare myself for closed book tests......LOL. What made me wonder is a friend of mine took a bunch of classes at P...

9. Online classes good enough?

   Addy3 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey I wanted to get everyones opinion on online classes. Does it show on your transcripts that the class was online? Is this frowned upon? I am taking two classes online right now (child dev and nutrition) and I love being able to go at my own pace. ...

10. Annapolis area schools...

    Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Maryland

    Really? Thats good to hear, honestly thinking about the commute really freaks me out! I looked up taking public transit and the estimate was 2 hours:eek: I dont know if we will be able to take a trip out there before I apply to schools, so talking t...

    Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Maryland

    I would like my BSN. Doesnt it seem like community colleges are harder to get into? Or maybe its just the waiting lists....

12. Please tell me your typical week in nursing school....

    Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in General Students

    You guys have no idea how helpful it is seeing your schedules! (or maybe you do:) They all seem to be somewhat similar, is there ever a choice as far as different class times? Or is only one time offered for the class for the semester? I dont know h...

13. Annapolis area schools...

    Addy3 posted a topic in Maryland

    Hi, my husband and I might be moving to Annapolis in 3 years and I really dont know the area very well. My tentative plan is to find a BSN program out there to get into but the closest ones I could find are in Baltimore about 25-30 miles away! Is tha...

14. Please tell me your typical week in nursing school....

    Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in General Students

    So whats the farthest you guys would recommend living from school? Depending on where I go I may be looking at a 30-40 minute commute and with all the time you need to go back and forth I am wondering if thats just too far. Of course I probably wont ...

15. A little help, how competitive are.....

    Addy3 replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Eeek, super competitive is what I am worried about. The closest schools I could find to Annapolis were in Baltimore about 28 miles away. I am not sure if thats too far, but it would REALLY be nice to have something closer. I have lived back east twic...
