1. Nervous About Dosage Class

   studentLJinCA replied to BB0513's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I start school next month, and I felt the same way! It had been so long since I had needed to apply any extensive conversion/math skills. But once you start reviewing, it's easy! Besides reviewing a quick "How To" book, I also have this website (htt...

2. grossmont ADN application

   studentLJinCA replied to PeekaPooh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't rely on my word alone, but that should be sufficient! I would include that printout and also your SAR (go to fafsa online - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) From there, there is an orange "Start Here" button. You can access your 2010-2011 fafsa resul...

3. grossmont ADN application

   studentLJinCA replied to PeekaPooh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Best to speak with a counselor about a lot of your specific questions. However - I know a couple things :) Your official sealed transcripts need to be submitted with your application to the nursing department. However, another set (yes, that's two ...

4. What color is your uniform?

   studentLJinCA replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

   Good ol' Hunter Green! Not bad, but not flattering either :)

5. How to NOT gain weight in Nursing School??

   studentLJinCA replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

   We were told the same thing at orientation! Some advice we were given is to take up a P.E. class in addition to your nursing classes. They are not hard, do not require a lot of time, but it motivates you to work out a little during the week and can a...

6. CCAC drug test...please help!

   studentLJinCA replied to dinopurple3's topic in General Students

   Yeah, is there a reason your dentist did not RE-prescribe the medication? Or was it a scenario where you took it upon yourself to treat the pain? Did he recommend it and you can get further documentation from your dentist? Unfortunately, most schools...

7. Venting... and questioning my path...

   studentLJinCA replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

   It seems like your friend is just jealous. You got into a program quickly, whereas for her, she may have endured a bit of a waiting period and feels like you should too. I've seen that kind of reaction before... Try to not let it get to you - and if...

8. New Student Advice

   studentLJinCA replied to johnsonny2fl's topic in General Students

   If you are fearing the math part - best to get a head start now! Not sure if it is like this at all schools - but there will be a math-based test each semester at my school that is IMPERATIVE to pass (I begin this fall). I freaked out when I read tha...

9. How did you celebrate your nursing school acceptance letter?

   studentLJinCA replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

   I opened my acceptance e-mail (a letter soon followed), and could not contain my excitement. I quickly called my boyfriend, mother, and anyone who would listen to me!!! Then went out for dinner that night :)

10. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    studentLJinCA replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing

    What makes you think that one person's experience at nursing school would apply to the whole field? There will always be difficult people to deal with in different professions - and sometimes they will be downright rude. There are "horror stories" th...

11. Any Grossmont College nursing students on here?

    studentLJinCA replied to bella65's topic in California

    Hi Luv2helpppl - Grossmont does not disclose point totals whether you are accepted or not (I think so people don't go around comparing point totals and looking to contest different application evaluations). So I was unable to find out how many points...

12. BUY TEXTBOOK ONLINE?

    studentLJinCA replied to fro425's topic in General Students

    If you have the same exact publisher, edition, title - you're fine. If there are ANY changes, they will be very very minimal.

13. hmmmmm....

    studentLJinCA replied to Tiera's topic in Pre-Nursing

    TIP: In order to make it easier on them in making the decision - you should enclose a copy of the class descriptions from your Florida school catalog. Photocopy or electronic copy. That's what I had to do when there was not a pre-established equivale...

14. Any Grossmont College nursing students on here?

    studentLJinCA replied to bella65's topic in California

    Hey Calinrse2b - finally, a future classmate! Haha I've heard good things as well - and August cannot come soon enough! Look forward to meeting at Orientation in June :)

15. allnurses.com helpful to busy students or an unnecessary distraction?

    studentLJinCA replied to steveogurule's topic in Pre-Nursing

    BOTH! It's nice to see what others are going through, and gain advice from those with experience. But on the other hand, I also spend WAY too much time on here just looking & reading posts that have no relevance to me or my situation. I'm just n...
