3. requesting Ideas on how to study

   ARmickie replied to tillie7691's topic in General Students

   What seems to be working for me at this point is the computer, believe it or not. While the kids are watching tv, playing in their rooms, or even eating dinner, I'm typing away here. I tend to retype my notes everyday, which helps me to remember th...

   ARmickie replied to Blackfish's topic in General Students

   If I was you, I would certainly be requesting course schedules from whatever school you are considering. I know at my school, there are nursing courses during morning, afternoon, and even some at night according to the papers I picked up yesterday. ...

   ARmickie replied to studentNY's topic in General Students

   I feel for you, I really do. Most all of my family is really supportive of me at this point. I don't even start prereq's until next week, but they were behind me and the rest of my family 100% since we first told them about what I was going to do. ...

   ARmickie replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

   From what I understand, you can take the NCLEX-RN after your junior year if you are attending a four year BSN program.. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

8. LPN to RN bridge Programs...

   ARmickie replied to trish820's topic in General Nursing

   I thought over this same process. I knew that I would be looking for fin aid when I got ready to do the bridge program, and where I live, the only bridge programs go from LPN to MSN and I don't live near any of the straight to RN programs in a CC. ...

   ARmickie replied to ayndim's topic in General Students

   Something funny .... I received more letters from the Fin Aid dept a few days ago. Included in these papers was a release they wanted me to sign for the local paper announcing that I'd been awarded this academic scholarship. Well, I'm 33 yrs old.. ...

13. Is gerneral wellness a nursing degree?

    ARmickie replied to Sheryl H's topic in General Students

    You may want to look into working in a dietary environment. You would have your choice of either working in a hospital or even a health club once you are certified. I don't know about the job market in your area, but I know that around here, there ...

14. Hmmm...am I wrong to think this way???

    ARmickie replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    If it's wrong, then I'm going down with you!! I'm just waiting to hear that my old boss went down in flames!! This woman trained me for my position, and she knew that upper ranking people had pulled me from my training six weeks early. After I got...
