1. What would you do? need advice

   katoswife replied to hello sammi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in a similar situation...My husband is in the Navy and we'll be moving right after I graduate with my Anthropology degree...He will be changing jobs so we won't know where we're moving until right before thus I won't be able to apply to any nursi...

2. fear of IVs and drawing blood

   katoswife replied to Katniss88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have the same fear but only because I'm afraid I'm going to jab the needle into their muscle and not the vein :) I've had to be given IVs in my neck so I'm not afraid to be stuck, I just don't want to hurt someone else. I'm sure you'll do fine tho...

3. Great News!

   katoswife replied to AL1992's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats! I love that feeling when you know for sure you're going to make a good grade.

4. Micro - I'm just sayin'

   katoswife replied to Summers_Off's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As with any class I'm sure a lot depends on the instructor...Mine was so concerned with organization it became a joke...Everything was labeled with our table color, then what side of the table we were on, then what drawer our supplies were stored in,...

5. What are you doing in between prereqs and NS?

   katoswife replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will either work or volunteer in the medical field to gain experience...Maybe have a baby...It's two years away for me and with a military husband anything can change.

6. Is there any hope in me becoming an RN?

   katoswife replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't lie...Own up to your past and you'll be a better person for it...I hate the thought of someone lying and taking the place of a person who actually got good grades and deserves a spot in the program. We all wish we could go back and make better ...

   katoswife replied to roscopeeco's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you're not great at math I recommend going to http://www.khanacademy.org I watched his videos for Chem and they helped me earn an A.

9. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

   katoswife replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Indecisive! Don't feel like you've wasted any time or are getting a late start...I'm 29 and have been going to college off and on for 11 years...I won't be a nurse until I'm 32 and that's if I don't have to wait to get into a program. I've been to...

10. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    katoswife replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was working full-time when I took Chem, Developmental Psych, and some other random class...I got an A in all three so it's not impossible to work and get good grades...Chem isn't my strongest subject, either, so I had to work pretty hard for that A...

11. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    katoswife replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I actually thought about doing something like this but the classes would conflict with my anthropology classes...I've looked into phlebotomy and nursing assistant and they conflicted as well...Maybe they'll have something next summer that I can take....

12. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    katoswife replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going for an RN, accelerated BSN. Do either of your programs require volunteer or paid experience? One of the programs where we might end up requires this and I'm struggling figuring out what to do and what would qualify.

13. Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    katoswife replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I guess you could call me a pre-nursing student :) I'm working on an Anthropology degree and then I will go into a nursing program (hopefully). My husband is in the military so my path is not as straight as others. I've taken Chem, Micro, and Develop...

14. Why go into nursing? is it for the money or for other reasons

    katoswife replied to love7777's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I never thought that I would want to be a nurse...I didn't want to go through all the schooling and work weird hours...but as I've gotten older I've realized that it's a great profession where I can make a difference and feel fulfilled...I've taken a...

15. have you taken any of these classes online: Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology

    katoswife replied to amyleadon's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took Psych online and it was fairly easy...Two discussion questions and a quiz each week plus a research paper...Like the poster above said, it depends entirely on your professor.
