1. I thought bones were hard

   Folkeye replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in APII right now and every time I think it can't get worse.... LOL. I find the whole class gets me high strung. Its super hard since you have such a limited amount of time to cover X amount of material you can't slow down. I'm having a time of i...

2. What did you take Anatomy with

   Folkeye replied to iknoweverything's topic in Pre-Nursing

   And here I am embarrassed to be taking one night class and have it kill me. Taking APII and just working full time. It kills my free time.

3. Early Anxiety

   Folkeye replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They working night type jobs? I have no idea what kind of schedule you get in school. Where I am right now has no CNA options, they took that away a number of years ago. Otherwise that might have been an option to consider.

4. Early Anxiety

   Folkeye posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's one of those wonders to me, to think I can apply to a nursing school in under a year. One of those exciting scary things that I look forward to. Yet at the same time, it's causing my brain to do flips. I'm not knowing exactly yet how to handle t...

5. The Letters of Recommendation for Applications

   Folkeye replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, very true. As of this moment, I do not have close ties to any teacher (hence keeping ears open now) and I don't work anywhere near healthcare. I do know that my boss is somebody I couldn't ask. He works across the US from me and pretty much has...

6. The Letters of Recommendation for Applications

   Folkeye replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hmmmm, I know I saw it more than once. Just can't remember where! But it came as part of an application. Wanted 3 individuals to do the letters. I do agree on the professional level though. Else we'd all get our friends/family on board and well that ...

7. Would you move for a school?

   Folkeye replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, it's something I have to consider. Basically the way I look at it is to not limit myself to pressing on. Thankfully I have no family obligations tying me down. The only thing I really need to consider if I do pick up and go is a place that has ...

8. The Letters of Recommendation for Applications

   Folkeye replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So a co-worker is fair game? That's good to know :)

9. The Letters of Recommendation for Applications

   Folkeye posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Still got a year to worry about this kind of stuff, but hey, why not start now! When looking at applications for nursing programs, many want that letter of recommendation from a few people. I'm guessing you can't or shouldn't have a family member do ...

10. A little inspiration "never give up"

    Folkeye replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It helps to have a fun soundtrack to remind you of this too. Songs'll differ for everyone of course. One that always makes me smile and is actually an awesome song to remind one to keep going is from the movie 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'. Failure isn...

11. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    Folkeye replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just started back up in school and have gotten through two semesters (Math and Chemistry). Need another full semester and a half to go for the very basic-can-apply-to-a-school pre-reqs. But I'm guessing a full two years to cover most other schools ne...

12. Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are to where other people are?

    Folkeye replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Easy to compare to others, I do it all the time. Habit I need to break since the one I need to worry about in this sense is me and to do the best I can do. But, remember, for each person that's ahead of you in progress, there's still a boatload behin...

13. Who off this summer? Worried.

    Folkeye replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was thinking I'd enjoy a summer off, but since I went back to school.... I want it over faster! Can't do daytime summer school but I'll be taking my first online course. So a few weeks break from my last class, with the online starting in a week an...

14. What do you like/dislike about Pre-Nursing?

    Folkeye replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The waiting, no matter the class is the hardest part! Still got a year and a half to trudge through. I wish I could speed things along via summer school courses, but working full time doesn't allow daytime school and they have no evening options. But...

15. Los Angeles Harbor College LAHC Fall 2014

    Folkeye replied to staceycsu's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My mom went to Harbor for her nursing. If all goes well, it'll be the first school I can apply to (being local and all) :)
