   UpstairsCare, Thank you for replying! I would very much like to have a mentor that I could learn from and it is great that you went through the ADN program in your 40's. I am excited about the opportunity to have an experienced RN that I could learn ...

2. Pharmacology

   living on faith posted a topic in Michigan

   Hi Everyone: I am anticipating entering an ADN program in August 2011. I have heard from veteran nursing students that it would be most helpful to learn as much as possible about Pharmacology before entering the program. I know many may say not to ...

   MsAshley, I haven't seen any further posts on here. I too am hoping to enter the Fall 2011 ADN program at SC4. Did you take the HESI and do you have your 10 pre-req. classes done? I will look forward to the letters coming at the end of this month.

4. Looking for mentor from Port Huron

   living on faith posted a topic in Michigan

   I know that this is a long shot but thought I would try it. I am an older returning student who will be entering an ADN RN program in the fall. I have zero clinical experience and would love to learn, grow and glean wisdom from an RN (perhaps retir...

5. Need Pathophysiology help!

   living on faith replied to living on faith's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'mthatguy, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I actually think I've got it now. I sure wish I would have asked these questions 60 hours ago. I think I should have had more info regarding the compartments first: ICS vs ECS and then the intrava...

6. Need Pathophysiology help!

   living on faith replied to living on faith's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Coast2Coast, Thank you for trying to help. I am good with Diffusion and Osmosis. However, I don't seem to understand when something says that the "osmolarity is increased or decreased". I understand Cations and Anions and know which is which. I ...

7. Need Pathophysiology help!

   living on faith posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Everyone, I am a mature student who is having a terrible time understanding fluids and electrolytes in my pathophysiology class that I just started. It would help if our instructor didn't simply read from the text but as I can't change that I am s...

   living on faith replied to forestlover's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am SO.... inspired by all of you! Your stories are simply amazing. I am in my 40's and have returned to college (have prior BS) to become an ADN RN. It has been a struggle though. I have managed straight A's and am trying my best to gain entran...

9. St. Clair County Community College

   living on faith posted a topic in Michigan

   Hi Everyone, I would like your thoughts please. Would it concern anyone that St. Clair County Community College started with 100 nursing students in their ADN RN fall nursing program and after last weeks final exams are down to approximately 54? I ...

11. Should I retake A&P1?

    living on faith replied to Angelitanecia's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Retake the A & P 1. You need the A and the knowledge. Make sure you check out Rate My Prof online before you sign up with any professors. Not 100% accurate but rings true most... of the time. Speak with people who have had the class and ask ...

12. Anyone buy their own anatomy models?

    living on faith replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Pre-Nursing

    One of the greatest things that I learned to do in A & P was use either a camera (best quality) or your camera phone and take pictures of all the models. I spent a great deal of time in lab, as I was an older returning student, and I wanted to b...

13. Health Insurance for nursing school, how can I afford this!?

    living on faith replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing

    HopefulUS: I have a totally different opinion. This is from a 40 something who has returned to college to obtain my RN license. Yes, you are going to find lots.... of people on this site that have claimed to have worked full time and gone to nursin...

14. Two Sciences in the spring?

    living on faith replied to JennL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I hate to be the second downer BUT.... I definitely wouldn't do that at my CC ( have a previous BS) and I know our guidance counselors wouldn't recommend it. Science courses are very tough, and in order to get the A because grades are paramount , th...

15. Need your guidance I am 17 and just lost my father last week

    living on faith replied to KJsingh's topic in Michigan

    Well, the way I see it you have 2 choices: You can attend a local community college and work towards a ADN degree and live at home with your mom OR you can find away to go to university and live in a dorm. I am in my 40's and am returning to the cc...
