1. Why I Quit MA school

   peppapig123 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   So the last time I was on here I was working towards my pre-reqs for nursing at a community college. Well life happened. I got a full time job, had another baby and ended up in a 7 month MA program. I was skeptical from the start because I've heard h...

2. Where are your clinicals?

   peppapig123 replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thanks for the replies everyone. I just wasn't sure and I almost ruled the school out. I want to go somewhere with good clinical sites.

3. Where are your clinicals?

   peppapig123 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I spoke to someone at a school today about their lpn program and I asked about their clinical sites. They said they're mostly in nursing homes. Now I know in most areas lpn's are mainly employed in ltc facilities, but I was under the impression that ...

4. What to do when you've exceeded the limit on repeating a class?

   peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ok, I'm having trouble in psychology. This is my second time taking it. I know this is supposed to be an easy class, but its not for me. My school says a class can't be taken more than twice. I'm guessing this includes withdrawals. I dropped it the f...

5. So you want to be a nurse...

   peppapig123 replied to Sir Enzyme's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I loved it! Sometimes I wonder if nursing is for me, or if I can do it. This just gave me the encouragement I needed. Thanks for sharing.

6. Medical Assistant to RN

   peppapig123 replied to Mrs.YayaLozada's topic in General Students

   If you don't want to give up on being an MA, (which I think is what you're saying) then don't, unless you do as others have said and look for a different school that offers an evening program. Which still might not work because some evening programs ...

7. Organic and Biochemistry?

   peppapig123 replied to rys22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Intro to bichemistry is a pre-req for my CC's nursing program. We're going to cover organic, inorganic +& biochem. I had my 1st class today, it seems as if as long as you study +& read the material, +& don't miss any labs it'll be fine.

8. I did it and its so clear now

   peppapig123 replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with Sopranokris. 53k is A LOT for an adn program, and nobody is guaranteed a job when they finish school. It can take up to a year or more for some new grads to find a job. Loans kick in after 6 months or so. I know how it is to want to make...

9. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

   peppapig123 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Everyone wants to be a nurse practitioner....I'll be happy with just my BSN. I hate school....lol.

10. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    peppapig123 replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I really like the dry erase board idea, I'm gonna buy one :) I also liked the idea of recording lectures. Where can I buy a recorder? About how much do they cost?

11. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Seriously. I don't know how I got by during the summer semester. Now fall semester is almost here. I have some tough classes- biochem, college algebra, psychology....any tips on how to study? I always just sit there and read and it gets boring. Its h...

    peppapig123 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Intro to Biochem (with lab), Psych 1010, Eng 1020, and Intermediate algebra. I'm hoping to take a nurse aide class sometime in november. It'll be weekends only. I have math M/W and Biochem Fridays...the other two are online. Hope I can pull through.

13. Communication pre req in two weeks

    peppapig123 replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing

    O_o looks like you won't be starting then. Why did you wait until 3 weeks before you start nursing school? And you know you needed the class by the end of this month?

14. Thinking of having a baby while in LPN school

    peppapig123 replied to malloryg's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    If you want another baby, why even ask the opinion of people you don't know? In the end, YOU have to deal with whatever happens. Do what you feel is best. I personally would wait. I understand how you feel though. I have a 16 month old. Ideally, i'd ...

15. What specialty are you considering?

    peppapig123 replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Any floor that will hire me....lol. I'd like to work on a post-partum floor, ICU, or LTC/rehab/skilled nursing. Yes, I'm one of the few that wouldn't mind working ltc. I'd gladly take a job at one.
