1. Soon to be LPN Moving to SC, school advise please!

   marinemommy posted a topic in South Carolina

   I recently graduated (this May!) from LVN school out here in Southern California. My original plan was to finish my LVN and then go to my school's LVN-RN program (due to the crazy wait lists out here). Unfortunately that has changed since my husband,...

2. Hi everyone.....

   marinemommy replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Christin! I'm also a mom of three, ages 6, 3.5, and almost 2 (and am also named Kristin, so we're very similar!) and am starting up my pre-reqs this semester. I have a previous degree but didn't really work hard, though I think I'm very smart so...

3. What's everyone taking this fall?

   marinemommy replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Developmental Psychology and Weight Training (for my own mental health!)

4. Fall classes

   marinemommy replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just finished signing up for classes: Anatomy Physiology Chemistry Developmental Psych (online) I know, lots of sciences, but I've taken them all before so really, they're kind of refresher courses for me so I'm hoping it'll work out. If it gets t...

5. just waiting

   marinemommy replied to student to be in VA's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Most of the colleges around here (unless you go private) have waiting lists, but I think that California schools just can't keep up with the demand.

6. Medical Terminalogy

   marinemommy replied to snoop105's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took it 2 semesterrs ago and it was ok. I had a rough understanding of the topics already and used flashcards to memorize the terms.

7. expired classes

   marinemommy replied to clairedeauville's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Everything near me has a 5 or 10 year expiration and unfortunately, I took the pre-reqs 11 years ago. Or perhaps it was 12.... either way, they're expired. I'm just going ahead and re-taking them. I figure it is best for me anyways because honestly...

8. How are you preparing for the new school year?

   marinemommy replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't work in the sense that I get a paycheck, but I will be managing our bills, household, three kids and my school work while my husband deploys to Iraq this coming fall. I've already put together a tentative schedule on how I plan to get things...

9. Chem and Anatomy together?

   marinemommy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It depends on your personality, if you work, out-of-school stresses, and past experience. I'm taking Anatomy & Physiology (two separate classes) this semester and Chem & Micro in the Spring - but I've taken all in the past with the exception...

10. Cost of living loans? Anyone use them? Help!

    marinemommy replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing

    For mine you can take out up to $25K/year.

11. Cost of living loans? Anyone use them? Help!

    marinemommy replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I got a loan through my bank (Wellsfargo) called an Education Connection loan. It comes directly to me and it covers the cost of living expenses. I have 3 kids so there is no way that my husband's salary (he's military) could cover that cost, along...

12. Taking 3 sciences at once

    marinemommy replied to marinemommy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That is what I'm worried about... snapping. I think I'll just take the Chem course in the Spring semester! Thank you for the response!!

13. Taking 3 sciences at once

    marinemommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have a minor dilema and would love some advice. I've already planned on taking an Anatomy and a Physiology class this semester (the schools in my area do not offer combined A&P classes but instead, separate classes all together). I was schedul...

14. New and Starting My Career Goal!

    marinemommy replied to sushiwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sushiwoman - I'm in the same boat as you, although it has only been about 7 years since I graduated college. I have three boys just about the same age as yours (6, 3, and almost 2). My husband is in the military so he's never home and currently I'm...

15. Advice on being burnt out

    marinemommy replied to Taurus_'s topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have 3 very active little boys so I understand the "getting into things". Although I don't have the family members in the house (thank goodness, mine are really demanding!) 1. What do you usually do to "relieve" yourself when you have become burnt...
