About katebean04

I am a wife and mother. I thank God everyday for my two beautiful, healthy little girls. My mom is fighting breast cancer and it has changed my whole life. I see the strongest woman I have ever known go through chemo every 21 days.

  1. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    I would do the community college. You can finish all of your prereqs while you are on the waiting list, and just enjoy life for awhile. Go part time and get those beginning classes out of the way.
  2. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    I start Fall 2012!! I was called last week to move up, someone declined their spot!! I have orientation wednesday and can drop my fall classes that I had registered for (non-nursing classes). I am so excited! We have all worked so hard to get here! G...
  3. I got moved up on our waitlist to start this fall. A year early! Just found out last week. I am thinking the same thing, I want to brush up on A&P, because its been a while. Maybe some NCLEX stuff. Good luck to all of you who start this fall!
  4. Instructors deciding our fate??

    You decide your own fate. There are much harder things out there in the world than nursing school. There are some that "deserve" to make it because they have put all of their heart and soul into graduating and becoming a nurse. Communicate with your ...
  5. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    My mom was diagnosed in October, during my second year of prereqs. I just get annoyed with all of the complaining after seeing people who truly deserve to complain.. Maybe, I have a bad attitude towards certain students or a bad attitude towards thei...
  6. I'm pregnant!!

    Congratulations!!!! What a blessing! I would not want to work for a place that would not hire me when I was pregnant. You have kids and they are going to have to understand that. I would take things one day at a time....and I have personally hidden a...
  7. I almost bought a Trapper Keeper binder the other day. I saw them at CVS pharmacy, and thought that it would be neat to be able to zip up all of my papers so nothing could ever fall out! But....my lisa frank stickers will not stick to the front of th...
  8. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    I just keep getting annoyed at all of the complaining. I wish there were more than 3 people out of 30, that actually enjoy learning and want to help people. I ask people in this class why they want to be a nurse and the number one answer: "The payche...
  9. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    I just hate the word bank idea... no one is going to give you a word bank when you are working with a patient. You have to work hard for this kind of an achievement, its not gonna be just handed to anyone. I wouldn't vent normally, but this has been ...
  10. Fail or withdraw nursing school

    We have a very early withdraw date where you would receive reimbursement for your tuition. Then, we have a withdraw date that occurs about 5-6 weeks into the course, so you should have an idea of how you are doing at that point. The downside of the l...
  11. This is more of a vent.... but I am currently in A&P II and I don't know how many times I hear the following things from other students: 1. Can we have a word bank on our exams? 2. This teacher is horrible, the tests are worded so bad. (Really- ...
  12. Fail or withdraw nursing school

    At my college, we have a date that you must withdraw by. If you withdraw by that date you get an incomplete, which does't effect your GPA. I just had a friend that failed one of her nursing courses and went on to try for her BSN. Anything is possible...
  13. Terrified of clinicals

    If I were you, I would think of this like an exam: know as much as you can before you step foot in there. I also like to think of the patient: do they want someone who doesn't know their condition to be taking care of them? probably not. Put your sel...
  14. Wish list: Hello Kitty book bag or purse, Lisa Frank t-shirt, sleeping bag and stickers. My husband looks at my binders decorated in stickers and asks me if I am 12 years old. I just miss this stuff, and it makes me happy! FYI: hello kitty tv show is...
  15. At christmas time, I actually bought a huge lipstick tube full of lisa frank goodies for myself. I just had to have it! Its good to know that I'm not the only one that still loves those designs.
