1. Getting past human resources....

   brinley_s posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I am currently waitlisted for a BSN program, and obtained my phlebotomy and ASCP certification in November of last year. Since then I have been fighting to get my resume past the HR department and actually to s...

2. I never thought it was possible...

   brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have always been such a good test taker - this is A&P II for me so I am not new to the subject - I think where I went wrong was focusing too much on just the notes the instructor gave in class and not r...

3. ortho evra patch

   brinley_s replied to lindamb's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I used the patch for 6 months and I liked it, the only reason that I switched methods was my SIL got pregnant on the patch and it made me a little nervous - no wired side effects though. I do know that my OB isn't even prescribing it now- she is wai...

4. I never thought it was possible...

   brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wanted to thank you all for your support - I have been really struggling with it over the past two days. The reason I already know my grade is that I stayed after class to study for my lab midterm that is today and she graded some of the tests the...

5. I never thought it was possible...

   brinley_s posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I never thought it was possible that I could fail a test, I've never failed a test, I'm always prepared, and know all of the necessary info, but not this time. I took my first A&P lecture test of the semester yesterday, and have never felt so du...

6. Dumb Idea??

   brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In an ideal world wouldn't we all like to finish school first! Like I said previously I do appreciate everyone's input. I am kind of in the same situation as reidesert, I already have one degree in marketing and a great job, my husband also has a gr...

7. Anyone here have their kids in private school....?

   brinley_s replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I spent all of my education in a private Catholic school, pre-k through 12. My siblings all went to public school after 6th grade. I have to disagree with the poster above me. If you have researched the school and toured the classrooms then you ar...

8. Dumb Idea??

   brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I want to thank everyone for their honest replies... I am trying to weigh all of my options and my husband and I are trying to make the best decision for us. What we find hard when we discuss this with other people is that it is so divided. Most of...

9. Microbiology

   brinley_s replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have found Micro to be much more difficult that A&P... chemistry is definitley needed before you can take it, it's a pre-req for the class normally... the lecture isn't too bad, but the lab is very difficult, you really have to know what you ar...

10. Dumb Idea??

    brinley_s posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Since I've ran my scenario by everyone that I know, I thought I'd run it by others that are probably in my situation... I am in my last semester of pre-req's. I am waitlisted but guaranteed admission in class that begins in August 2007. Here is wh...

    brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your help - I am going to send off some inquiries to the area hospitals as a student nurse technician - I hadn't thought about the red cross, I will definitley give that a try!

12. Job Hunting- Phlebotomist

    brinley_s posted a topic in General Students

    Hey I'm hoping that someone here can give me a little insight. I am a nursing student and over the summer I began a phlebotomy program that I completed with clinicals in October of this year. I have been looking for a job since then and haven't bee...

    Count me in... I'm nervous about starting the class- it's one of those necessary evils!

14. ADN or BSN

    brinley_s replied to brinley_s's topic in General Students

    It's definitley nice to have a neighbor!! I thought about going to EHOVE before I enrolled in pre-req's for my RN- my grandma went there and was one of the best nurses ( although I am partial!) I have a friend that is taking her pre-req's at the Fire...

    I am in northwest ohio, in bellevue to be exact. I am probably going to be relocating to the toledo area later this year and I have just been weighing out the different options. The wait times here really stink and I think that I will be leaning mo...
