I'm taking both right now and, I too, have a ton of overlapping. Since you've had some chemistry, I think you'll be okay. I've never taken chem nor general bio; so I've had to play catch up a little....

Hang in there! Start focusing on location, functions, and how things work together. Memorizing definitions won't be enough. You'll need to know the definition; but, if you study the why and how, the...

I think you should definitely do it. The class will help you get some insight to what the profession is like. Just really make sure you do well because you don't want to start college off on a bad...

Thanks! I've heard that you use the med surg book a lot. Stephalup, buying an older version is a great idea! Sometimes I think the authors/publishers will change one or two things just to continually...

I'm just starting a program right now. I may keep my basic nursing book. I just wasn't sure if I'd ever open it again and I may a well get the $80 while I can... That is, if I'm not going to need it...

Hey guys! I'm trying to figure out which books to keep and which to sell back. Which ones did you ind useful to keep? Right now I have my Basic Nursing book from Intro to Nursing and Med...

I'm in your shoes and a little worried. I'm taking A&P II w/lab, micro w/lab, pharmacology, and American Govt I next semester. I don't work (thank God!) but I am an army wife. So my husband is never...

Yes, she always makes me feel a little better. She doesn't ever seem to forget that there is a person on the other side of the screen and remembers that everyone was once a young nurse or person that...

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me a little about your experience. I had a really horrible pregnancy, labor, and birth experience with both children. It was partially due to being...

There aren't really any "pre-nursing" programs. You just need to take the necessary prereqs for a nursing program. You will just have to research different nursing programs near where ever you will...

HA! I did not even look at the date. Thank you for pointing that out Stephalump.

queenanneslace, you make a good point about the training being beneficial when I start as a CNM. I would imagine you will be hired into L&D before a new grad with only her/his clinical rotation as...

I agree with waiting to become pregnant. If this is your first, you don't know how your body will react to being pregnant. When I got pregnant with my first, I was extremely healthy and active. I was...

Thanks! That is what I am thinking as well bc I have to do my ADN then bridge to BSN. The only thing that is kind of holding me back is $$ it takes for training and time. However, I'm starting to...

Thank you MsAlba! The deployments come with the territory unfortunately. There are a ton of online programs for RN to BSN and I think they usually last 2 full time semesters.

Hey all! I am about to start a nursing program and I'd eventually like to become a CNM. I've been throwing the idea of being trained as a doula around for about a year now. Do you guys think this...

I have two young children as well. For my career, it would have been better for me to go straight for my BSN. However, I'm not okay with letting my kids be in daycare from 0630 to 1630 five days a...

Where I am from, the only places an LPN/LVN are LTC, Psych, and I think some home care agencies

You could always do the ASN and then bridge to your BSN while working. That is what I chose to do bc I have two children and it is a lot cheaper and less time consuming if I get the ASN first. Also,...

Do you have them on your hands? I don't think you will have a problem. However, there is a very good chance you will need to wear long sleeves all the time.

I have to agree with the majority of people here. I used to go to a prestigious, private college where almost all the kids (I'm older) had mommy an daddy pay for everything. In my A&P class, over...

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am getting ready to start school and I've been concerned if the rewards of nursing outweighs the drawbacks. Recently, I have decided to ignore the negativity...

I'm with these people. I'm so sorry that you are going through this and having to deal with it. I come from a large family and we (the kids) never had new clothes, couldn't do extra curricular...

Some community colleges offer RN refresher courses. Maybe you could look into that.

I feel your pain of being a wife and mother and trying to get done with school. Personally, I think online summer classes are way harder than in-class summer classes. When you are in class, the...
