1. Question for people who made career change into nursing?

   gcc8 posted a topic in General Nursing

   For those who have changed careers and became a nurse: What was your previous career? What is your current position? How has your overall experience been as a nurse? Do you have any regrets?

2. UNE

   gcc8 replied to eve2679's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Because I'm thinking about taking Chemistry online, I've read about UNE online classes on several forums, and supposedly overall it is fairly difficult, but most people I've read about are getting A or B grades in the class. The difficulty is most li...

3. Do you actually study A&P book for exam? or you just refer to it?

   gcc8 replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I skim read the chapters, preferably before lecture. About a week out from our tests our teacher gives us a vague idea of what's going to be on the test, and I carefully read and take notes on the sections I'm pretty sure will be on the test. It is t...

4. Testing anxiety

   gcc8 replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Here's a great article about students who wrote about their anxious feelings before a test (for ten minutes) and did, as a whole, remarkably better.

5. Affordable ABSN Program?

   gcc8 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have a BA degree and am looking for a decent accelerated BSN program that isn't astronomical in price (I'd be open to MSN programs as well). I'm willing to go to any location. The prerequisites I will have completed by this December are A&P I a...

6. Micro Help! What can I do to help myself?

   gcc8 replied to lilgop's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Make an appointment with the dean and tell him exactly what is going on. I was in a Precalc class that was just like this as far as evey one failing, and enough people complained to the dean. At the end of the course I ended up with a 3.8 in the clas...

7. Web help for Biology and Chemistry

   gcc8 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking some prerequisites and often go to my community college's tutoring lab for assistance with questions that come up when I'm working on chemistry and biology homework. Some days the hours of these resources don't work for my schedule and I c...

8. Refusing food offered by patients

   gcc8 replied to Lev's topic in Relations

   Excellent answers everyone.

9. Some people have no common sense!

   gcc8 replied to Bouncyball's topic in Job Hunt

   I went to some info meetings for nursing programs and people in their mid to upper twenties were bringing their parents with them. I was quite surprised, but then realized their parents are probably footing all the bills for the program. As far as br...

    gcc8 replied to HopefulSRNA1234's topic in Maryland

    Hi GoVeg, I would be interested in checking out the spreadsheet. I think it would be very useful to me. Thank you for offering.

11. South Alabama Accelerated BSN/MSN program July 2013

    gcc8 replied to jensen.laurac's topic in School Programs

    Where else did you guys apply aside from South Alabama?

12. Accelerated BSN programs?

    gcc8 replied to gcc8's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Mchel210. Thank you for the info! Both of those programs interest me. Is one program considered better than the other? 15 months does appeal to me a bit more than 12 months (more time to learn stuff).

13. Accelerated BSN programs?

    gcc8 replied to gcc8's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The University of Washington ABSN program is fairly expensive, and as far as I can tell being a Washington resident doesn't give me any tuition reduction. Also, I went to their program information meeting, and one needs at least 100 hours of voluntee...

14. Tips from an A&P Tutor

    gcc8 replied to nekozuki's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Teaching the subject is pure gold. I put a dry erase board on my refrigerator and give fake classes. Something about writing it on the dry erase board really makes evident what areas I still don't quite grasp. After teaching a topic a few times on th...
