1. Start nursing school while pregnant?

   txkat posted a topic in General Students

   I was alternate for the nursing program beginning Fall 06. I was tied with 21 other alternates, so I assumed it would be Fall 07 before I could start nursing school. My husband and I decided it was a good time to try for a baby. If I was to get pregn...

   Darn it! I guess I will have to wait until Monday to find out. My mail just got here, but no letter. Does anyone know what the cut off is? Congratulations to those of you that go in! :yelclap:

   Hmmm. I was afraid his info was unreliable. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

   txkat replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A guy in my A&P II class attended the most recent nursing info session at El Centro (on Monday, I think). They were told the highest GPA for the Spring 06 applicants was 3.77!!! They were also told that out of 500+ taking the NET, only about 23...

   I'm still here too! I guess the big question is, will it be Saturday or Monday when we find out? Those of you with morning mail delivery have an obligation to the rest of us to let us know the moment you hear anything! :chuckle

7. I need advice about cocaine addiction

   txkat replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Psychiatric

   Dutchgirl, I just now saw your post and can totally relate. Your son-in-law sounds a lot like my ex-husband. I moved in with my parents when I was 23 years old and 5 months pregnant, while my husband, age 35, went away to rehab for coke/crack addicti...

8. ***Chemistry - Fall 2005***

   txkat replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My text is Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change by Silberberg. Fun: My school does offer tutoring. I will check it out. Thanks.

9. ***Chemistry - Fall 2005***

   txkat replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chemistry is kicking my butt. I don't like the instructor or the text book. (Maybe it's just the chemistry I don't like, but I don't think it should be as hard as it is for me.) Anyway, I was wondering if any of you know of some good internet resourc...

10. Studying tips??

    txkat replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have found outlining the chapter to be very helpful. Yes, it is time consuming, but I am able to really retain the information when I do this, and during the process I create a great study guide. I carry my outlines with me, so any time I have a sp...

    Good luck to all my fellow DCCCD students! I will be applying to the Jan 06 EC/NL program. I have completed all the application requirements except the NET. I have an appointment to take the NET on Tuesday and will turn in my application at that time...

12. NS needs help with Anxiety

    txkat replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I suffered similar symptoms 3 years ago. I had tingling in my hands and feet. I also had a few panic attacks during that same time frame but didn't associate it with the other symptoms until later. In addition, my mind was foggy--I couldn't think, an...

13. How Many is Too Many

    txkat replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These sites appear to be editorials. The first one even claims "Much of the world's land surface is empty. . ." EMPTY?! Apparently, the author believes if people aren't occupying it, it's empty. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, of course. The fa...

14. How Many is Too Many

    txkat replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My post was about the number of children in the subject family, not about what makes a responsible parent. Of course responsibility is not "only about the numbers", but the number of children one chooses to have does factor in. I believe it IS very i...

15. So Upset

    txkat replied to MrsStock10's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Try not to get too discouraged. Find out which assessment test the cc uses, and get the appropriate study guide. They should allow you to retake the test. You may still need some developmental classes, but probably not five once you have a chance to ...
