1. I feel incomplete

   Sciencegirl08 replied to sameishafate's topic in Pre-Nursing

   First of all, thinking about wasted time will get you nowhere. You're 21 and you feel like it's too late, but let me tell you, it's not!!!! I "technically" should have graduated from college in 2012, but due to a life threatening illness, I didn't. I...

   Sciencegirl08 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

   I was 11 years old, in the 6th grade. I was in English class when the teacher told the class...

3. Does prayer help people pass tests, succeed at jobs?

   Sciencegirl08 replied to Emergent's topic in Spirituality

   I believe that God helps those that help themselves, meaning that we are somewhat marginally responsible for our outcomes in life. I do think that God hears us when we pray and he takes our requests into consideration, but ultimately he knows best. I...

4. Should I take Intro to Stats this semester?

   Sciencegirl08 replied to sryu's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would wait. I wouldn't take stats with Chemistry, but that's just me.

5. Type of schools to get BSN?

   Sciencegirl08 replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

   I doubt where you go matters in how advanced and what kind of job you can get, BUT the program you pick should be accredited and you need to look at their NCLEX pass rate. Also, where you going is pretty much up to you and how far your students loans...

8. Is the Bloomfield College nursing program doable for one with children and severe anxiety?

   Sciencegirl08 replied to elisedepauli's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I go to therapy and take meds as well. I also practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in that when I have negative thoughts I challenge them. There is a book on CBT by Dr. Burns, I believe. I also try to keep myself busy by doing things that I enjoy. ...

9. Is the Bloomfield College nursing program doable for one with children and severe anxiety?

   Sciencegirl08 replied to elisedepauli's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't have any info about that particular program, but as someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety as well, I was wondering if you have taken any steps to combat your depression and anxiety? If not then you may find yourself not doing so w...

10. Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

    Sciencegirl08 replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Speaking of making the best grades, I find online math classes easier. It's easier to go at your own pace in a way and it's easier to clarify a topic and get extra help from the professor, whereas in a regular class you may feel timid to ask for unde...

11. Help! Did anyone get into nursing schools with b or c's for bio classes?

    Sciencegirl08 replied to faymaa's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I really cannot answer whether or not you would have a chance of getting in. Really you would need to sit down with an advisor from the program you are interested in and ask them to be honest with you about your chances. Then I would ask them what st...

    Sciencegirl08 replied to faymaa's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would try to figure out why I made Cs and evaluate my study skills. Then, I would try to retake as many as I possibly could and do extremely well in my prerequisite science courses. Good luck!!!

13. Anxiety + Starting school

    Sciencegirl08 replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know where you're coming from. I too have a fear of making a misstep. Sometimes all I can think about is school. However, I try to limit my worrying. For example- I set my timer for 15 minutes and write down all the possible things that could go wr...

14. Giving up my dog

    Sciencegirl08 replied to Bsb5685's topic in Student Assist

    OP, what you did was wrong to say the least. Is this how you always handle stress? Anything worth having takes work, so it seems like sending her back was laziness on your part.

15. "You're too smart to be a nurse. Be a doctor"

    Sciencegirl08 replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you have to pick your battles. People will always have something negative to say. Some say negative things just to see if they can get a rise out of you. So, while you can't change them change yourself-by that I mean how you respond to them...
