1. I have no confidence

   PNW0212 replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You'll get better once you start school. I remember hardly anything from A&P or micro. Almost done with my first year of nursing school. Just get good grades, apply to school, then once you get accepted, throw away anything you've ever learned ab...

2. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

   PNW0212 replied to jaycam's topic in Washington

   Congrats how exciting! Good for you! Yes I can do that I just have to figure out how exactly so I don't have to type it all up. No, a facebook page has not been made...yet! We definitely should do that

   ....Well I just hope to get a good education and pass the NCLEX. Don't worry fellow BC nursing students, we'll be fine:-)

4. As a CNA, I feel taken for granted

   PNW0212 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I am a CNA in the ICU and about to be a nursing student. I love my job. I cannot wait to become a nurse. I know I have chosen a field that is demanding- physically and mentally! But... I feel taken advantage of! Sometimes I am with another CNA or by ...

   Has anyone gotten an email or update about where orientation will be held for us winter people?!

6. Tips for the Teas Please!!

   PNW0212 replied to AmbitiousMink's topic in TEAS

   Did you read the study guide book pretty well and take the practice tests? That's what I did and got an 84. What hurt me is the time. I felt as though I didn't have enough time to really think about some of the questions. But, I got accepted to nursi...

7. Need help deciding what to do!

   PNW0212 replied to Cristian C's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Community colleges may save you money, you can go that route whether you decide to do an ADN or BSN at a university. If I were you I'd take prerequisites at a community college. Get as many A's as you can. Pick the college, look up the nursing progra...

8. Too much to handle?

   PNW0212 replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've got bulging eyes after reading that haha :-) I really suggest taking A&P1 separate, or at lease with an easier class such as life span. I'm not a mom and I wouldn't even think about taking those science courses all at once. Spread it out. Ta...

9. New school: nervous but excited

   PNW0212 replied to natmanzo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you had healthcare experience? Before you apply I suggest getting your CNA license and working as one somewhere, it's great experience! Good luck :-)

10. Dilemma with Pre req. for ABSN

    PNW0212 replied to FarhiyaM's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Any BSN program will require physiology with lab, but if you apply after you take the lab you might be ok. Call the nursing program about it and they will let you know if it's acceptable!

    What is the uniform? We don't have orientation until October and I need some new CNA work shoes, want to make sure I get the right color.

12. Starting my Pre-reqs in Oregon.

    PNW0212 replied to Heidi_Tink's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congratulations on setting a goal! You are absolutely NOT too old, 29 is nothing! There are people who start nursing who may be well into their 50's or 60's. I am not a mother, but I'll give you the best info I can. First off, I would sit down and sp...

13. IV/Osmosis

    PNW0212 replied to kvdyer's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As far as I've heard, there is a reason that the heart rate will always increase before decreasing in situations like that. If you need a detailed answer, look in a textbook, or my personal favorite, google it! :-)

14. Prerequisites for RN program at AVC

    PNW0212 replied to mrs.hayes's topic in School Programs

    The counselor did not know?! The advisors and counselors are the ones to ask, they are supposed to know that info! See a different nursing program counselor. If I were you, I would just take the class and get it over with anyway. Some programs allow ...

15. So confused!!!! Please Help

    PNW0212 replied to wantstobeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would see if you can take it a 3rd time....but look into why you are getting a D! Don't give up. Talk with an advisor about associate degree nursing programs (ADN) in your area. Those programs are usually at community colleges. It is still necessar...
