1. My Nursing Diploma School Essay (Please Read :D)

   prospectivepville replied to aka640's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't think so much that it's about negativity, it's about how much negativity is boring. I know any time I hear a sad story from one of my peers I usually tune out the negative things, until their revelation about how great life is. Instead, you...

   prospectivepville replied to pickled_tink's topic in Student Assist

   Congrats! (WIA is workforce investment act for those who know, you just need to google it, it's through your state)

3. Having meltdown, financial aid suspension, no money, classes begin in 2wks

   prospectivepville replied to pickled_tink's topic in Student Assist

   This is a horrible situation! I never received financial aid until I lost my job, and now that I have it, I know exactly how lucky I am. It can be a miserable and trying time especially for those trying to get back in school and start a productive ...

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

   prospectivepville replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

   I hadn't been able to sleep the whole weekend after someone told me they'd mailed out our acceptance letters... I opened my letter, sent out a mass text, then took a nap.

5. help me! i need to make a decision: "college or University$$$"??

   prospectivepville replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Students

   You're in the same boat as I was! I got into a technical college program, and also a private university (they just obtained university status this year). Both only offer ADN, so I was absolutely terrified when I discovered how much the tuition was ...

6. Scrub Blues, but not in blue

   prospectivepville posted a topic in General Students

   I just went to my RN orientation today, and was so disappointed with the uniforms they've chosen. Instead of selling the patches separately, and allowing us to put them on (I'm a sewing champ!) they've contracted out the work to Meridy's. Which req...

7. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

   prospectivepville replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the class but have yet to get my certification. The plan I'm going with doesn't require it though, but my just-in-case school did.

8. maggots

   prospectivepville replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

   I hate myself sometimes for having a draw to the disgusting things. The only thing that really turns my stomach is that hocking sound some people make when they cough, and then don't spit.

9. 2-C's and im really needing advice

   prospectivepville replied to kdaniels39's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't be sick to your stomach! The first time I took A&P 1 I thought I'd been working my butt off, but guess what? Big ole D! It doesn't matter how well you do on all the laboratory work if you don't understand the exam material. First thing y...

10. Should I get my EMT Basic?

    prospectivepville replied to KeepCalmCarryOn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You could always be a CNA. My best friend took an EMT-B class while doing our pre-reqs (this is years ago, and I took a few years off before actually putting forth the right effort in school). She ended up failing her pre-req classes, but loving the...

11. Nursing School: Things To Know Before You Start!

    prospectivepville replied to hdawnRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I really don't know what'd I'd do without this website! So far I've ordered two books just for summer reading, "Saunders Student Nurse Planner" (I made sure to get the 2011-12 guide) and "How to Survive and Maybe Even Love Nursing School". And of...

12. Just saying

    prospectivepville replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took all my pre-reqs at a CC college, so I understand the expense part most definitely! You gotta give yourself options!

13. Question about A&P 1

    prospectivepville replied to whisman1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    KHAN ACADEMY! The BEST youtube channel for math, and step by step instructions/explanations. Still not an all inclusive thing, but watching some of the videos over and over especially helped me understand the function of nephrons, the heart, the ce...

14. Statistics! Advise: Online or Classroom?

    prospectivepville replied to msg88's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would suggest online ONLY if there is a tutoring facility you can go to for hands on instruction in your spare time. OR your instructor is really generous with their time, and will meet with you occasionally to discuss specific weaknesses. Classro...

15. How many points did you have when applying for Nursing?

    prospectivepville replied to tke4life556's topic in General Students

    One of the college's in my area has known as what's "automatic acceptance" which means you qualify for the program with a 3.0 AND a minimum score of 24 on your ACT. HOWEVER they have have a limited number of seats therefore, if more applicants apply ...
