1. Students with kids...what do you do when they get sick??

   MOnurse2013 replied to Britmum's topic in General Students

   That was the determining factor in school selection for me---I went with a part-time program because I couldn't reconcile how I'd deal w/ sick kid situations.

2. Should I Continue Nursing School?

   MOnurse2013 replied to gorgeousngreen's topic in General Students

   I'm a career changer as well - and I am sure that going into nursing is the best option for me. I have been looking at job boards for my previous degree, and I'm lucky if 1 job comes up monthly in my area in my original field of study. If your degr...

3. Should I take Micro and Physiology in the same semester?

   MOnurse2013 replied to MonkeyMama's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took A&PII and Micro last semester, have two small children, do not work outside the home, and received an A in both. You can definitely do it, but it will require a ton of studying. The experience should get you ready for what nursing school...

4. Maryville nursing program

   MOnurse2013 replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   I know Mcalvin!! I am petrified at the thought of flunking out after investing all that $$$. I do know that schools are tougher than ever and will not let you through if there's a possibility you will not pass the NCLEX on the first attempt. I thi...

5. Maryville nursing program

   MOnurse2013 replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   Thanks for your perspective, UMSLalum. I talked with a STLCC nursing student a while back, and it is the same thing there. People wait to get their spot in that program for years, and if they don't pass a skill or a test, they are also dropped. Sh...

6. Maryville nursing program

   MOnurse2013 replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

   They lose 1-2 people every week? Or do you mean every semester? At that weekly rate, no one will be left to graduate:( I wonder if they've gotten tough because their NCLEX pass rate was at its lowest 2 years ago, but last years was the best in the...

7. Saint Louis Community College Wait List

   MOnurse2013 replied to lovetoday's topic in Missouri

   If I were you, I'd sign up for Chemistry and Biology at STLCC for the summer so you can take the dosage calc in the fall. Then you can get your name on the list and by the time you're done with A&P 1 &2 it will already be a year and you will...

8. Saint Louis Community College Wait List

   MOnurse2013 replied to lovetoday's topic in Missouri

   MCalvin: How long until you have all of your pre-req's done? If you still have a year of those classes to take, then I would take the dosage calc test right away and get on a wait list. A girl in one of my pre-req classes is going to STLCC nursing ...

9. Friends cheating.. what to do?

   MOnurse2013 replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

   Why don't you tell the prof. that her questions have been leaked so that she can re-do the test beforehand? Could you email her anonymously?

10. Maryville nursing program

    MOnurse2013 replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

    It is a part-time program, so you have to go for 7 continuous semesters (including summer).

11. Maryville nursing program

    MOnurse2013 replied to EBT67's topic in Missouri

    I've been accepted to Maryville's WEC for next fall clinical, and I haven't taken any of my classes at Maryville. If you have a strong GPA, you shouldn't have any problem getting in. I am also a stay-at-home Mom, and it is hard to pass up their gre...

12. Flo Valley or Forest Park?

    MOnurse2013 replied to k&k'z mom's topic in Missouri

    I found out the wait list at Meremac is 2 years, Flo Valley and FP - 1.5 years. Too long for me!
