1. Any SAHM's with small kids doing pre-nursing classes?

   4yrstogo replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Glad to see a post like this one. What about working mom's though? I work Monday-Thursday and I'm going to start pre-reqs in the fall. My girls, age 3 and 4, are in preschool, but only while I'm working. So when I have a day off, they are home. I don...

2. Wearing scrubs home??

   4yrstogo replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

   This sure made me chuckle... as some say that it's only common sense to change before coming home, while at the same time, forgetting the above mentioned sitations. For those who come home from work and get undressed in the bathroom, in their garage...

3. Leaving the Profession!

   4yrstogo replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

   As someone starting pre-reqs next in the fall to join the nursing program in a couple of years, all I can say to this is, yikes! This is one of the posts that scares me. For all the dozen that you see that say it's the best profession they chose,... ...

4. What am I going to learn????

   I second this question.

5. Caring for Jehovah's witnesses

   4yrstogo replied to cu-n-hvn's topic in Safety

   I realize that it has been a while since this post has been visited, but I thought I would offer my experience... I too am a Jehovah's Witness and my first daughter was born at 27 wks gestation and weight 1lb 9oz. I didn't go into preterm labor but,...

6. Duties of OB nurses (and others) Please feel free to add!

   4yrstogo replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not an RN yet, but I thought I would add something. I do work for an adoption agency and one thing that happens often in our area is that nurses and hospital staff have no idea what to do in the case of a birthmother asking for information on pla...

7. General Ed Classes?

   4yrstogo replied to 4yrstogo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Umm, you have to take a placement test for Math and English. I'm going to go to College of the Redwoods in Eureka, CA. I downloaded their information for their Nursing Program and it only has listed: "English 150, Math 106, Biology 2, 6, 7, and Chemi...

8. Northern Calif Roll Call

   4yrstogo replied to Spidey's mom's topic in California

   Perhaps I am highest up the map in Cali, in Eureka (about two hours from Oregon). It seems so funny to me to hear people say that Sac is "Northern Cali." I was originally from Rancho Cordova, and Sac is so nothing like Humboldt County! I've been here...

9. How Did you Know?

   4yrstogo replied to natron20's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nathan, you remind me of myself. I too struggle with second-guessing myself. Will I be good enough? Can I really handle what it takes? Will I be nice to people when I'm having a bad day? Will I pass all my classes? Will I pass and still not know what...

10. General Ed Classes?

    4yrstogo posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just curious.... I see people talking about General Ed classes. I've never done any college and I am trying to go for my pre-reqs to ADN in the Fall of this year. Do I have to complete General Ed classes as well?
