1. Failed Pharmacology

   SageFemmeReveur replied to jead1's topic in General Students

   Ok you've thrown your pity party, now have you figured out why you failed? The instructor didn't just randomly assign you a failing grade and everyone else a passing grade. Only you know the answer to what you did or didn't do that led to a less than...

2. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

   SageFemmeReveur replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing

   OP if you want to get a feel for it why get certified and work for a while as a doula

3. Student Loan help!!!

   SageFemmeReveur replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you really are out of options a credit card may be the only way, capital one (from what I have heard) will give one to almost anyone, though the interest rate is outrageous, you'd just have to do your best to pay it off as quick as possible.

4. question about "cutters"

   SageFemmeReveur replied to sarasmith805's topic in Psychiatric

   Agreed with Airport. Not sure why everyone is patting RnCashy89 on the back when the first line of his/her comment blatantly reinforces the stigma behind self harm. I get that it did become a fad and there are people who do it for attention but to de...

5. Can one skip lower Bio and successfully take Bio 201 (A/P)

   SageFemmeReveur replied to Starreacher26's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think taking Micro before A/P would be helpful and the more recent your HS Bio class was taken the easier it may be. The deciding factor in my opinion is always going to be your choices as a student and your level of commitment. The amount of time ...

6. Blogging through pre reqs/nursing school?

   SageFemmeReveur replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I created one through wordpress a couple weeks ago but today is the first time I felt I have found something to post. I am doing pre-reqs and hope to apply next Fall and would love to blog the whole way through.

7. C's on all my Anatomy and Physiology classes.

   SageFemmeReveur replied to blu_02's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You mentioned you are in CA, if you are applying to schools out here be sure to check the program's requirements because I have seen a lot of schools that will not accept re-take grades/only look at the first time you took the class OR you lose point...

8. Dreading L&D/Peds

   SageFemmeReveur replied to bagface's topic in General Students

   Do you have fertility issues? It is incredibly difficult to not be jealous and feel negative towards those who get pregnant easily and repeatedly bring children into a bad life situation, immediately after feeling this the women then feels guilty ...

9. Dreading L&D/Peds

   SageFemmeReveur replied to bagface's topic in General Students

   I don't really have any great advice, I just wanted to say I do understand your pain and suffering. I had an ectopic pregnancy, extremely traumatic *hugs* especially after all you've been through. I have participated in a couple forum's for those TTC...

10. If you got into a CA nursing program, what were your stats?

    SageFemmeReveur replied to ohhivivian's topic in California

    I felt the same way, instead of focusing on what other people are doing focus on what you are doing. Focus on what is in your control (attending class, completing assignments, studying for tests, taking good care of yourself so you are a your best fo...

11. Nursing Programs in CA

    SageFemmeReveur replied to sarah_beth's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you don't mind me asking, which CSU did you attend? What kind of work did you do with pregnant women? I'd really love to minor or get a certificate in psych or sociology, I'm a big nerd I wanna work with pregnant sexual assault survivor's. I do b...

12. Do you ever get so overwhelmed?

    SageFemmeReveur replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't be sorry! You have to let it out, this is a good place to do it. What works best for me is to just allow myself to feel whatever it is I want to feel, express it out loud or in some physical way, then pick myself up and keep trying. Today I am ...

13. Nursing Programs in CA

    SageFemmeReveur replied to sarah_beth's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Do you have an end goal in mind for the type of nursing you want to do? I want to be a midwife and I need a MSN so I have to get my BSN. Knowing at least a general picture of what you want to do later will help you decide what is best to do right now...

14. Do you ever get so overwhelmed?

    SageFemmeReveur replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It will be worth it when you get your acceptance letter. When you graduate. When you pass the NCLEX. When you land a job. Every single time you pass a milestone on this journey you will feel proud, accomplished and victorious. Hell when this semester...

15. I need HELP UNDERSTANDING CARE PLANS PLEASE!!!

    SageFemmeReveur replied to nette1022's topic in Student Assist

    I'm still a year away from applying to nursing school but I am printing this out and putting it in a file I've started for (hopefully!) when I start nursing school. Esme, I've read several of your responses in different areas on the site and I just h...
