1. I feel like I have forgotten some of what I learned!!

   jennk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Is this normal? I did so well in A&P I, but after having the summer off from it, I feel like I have forgotten somethings. Like some of the muscles, and even some of the bones! Is this normal? Did this happen to any of you guys?

2. UMD vs. Johns Hopkins

   jennk replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland

   really? i would not be a nurse for that pay that jhh pays. it is ridiculously low. all the hospitals around me also give raises and sign on bonuses. i just can't justify working there for only a coupld dollars more than what i would be making as ...

3. questions about classes

   jennk replied to rgrgray's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chemistry is another class that you are either going to love or hate as well. I really hated it, but I worked by butt off to get a good grade in it. I just hated the fact that there were so many "rules" to be followed, but yet they could be broken!...

4. UMD vs. Johns Hopkins

   jennk replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland

   I would prefer UMD, only because JHH is supposed to be this top notch hospital, yet the staff is paid a lot less than other hospitals. Also, you even have to pay them for parking, etc. We have a hospital in Delaware that gives you free health benef...

5. Relocating to Maryland

   jennk replied to hellooonurse's topic in Maryland

   Yes, JHH is not know for a good salary. They do have excellent health benefits, as well as an extra secure area, but if you drive they charge like $100 a month for parking. I wanted to work there, but after I talked to the nursing recruiter I was r...

6. RN Entrance Exam... HELP!

   jennk replied to nursingyoursoul's topic in Indiana

   I took mine last September, and I had bought the NLN book and studied like there was no tomorrow. I got my highest in the Chemistry section. Ours everything was times, and the guy was right on the minute with you. I think the vocab took the longes...

7. cadiva question

   jennk replied to jennk's topic in General Nursing

   It really doesn't matter to me that I spelled it wrong. There are a million other words I have spelled wrong in A&P. But what does it matter that I have not reposted to my previous thread? Yes, I may post and then not post again on it, but I d...

8. 4 years to get ADN? Is this just stupid?

   jennk replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Our school is the same way. It is only because the waiting list is so long for the clinicals. This is probably why they have the nursing shortage because people do not want to go to school for 4 years for a 2 year degree. I only wish that my degree...

9. cadiva question

   jennk posted a topic in General Nursing

   Someone is telling me that some schools buy cadivas. It doesn't matter wether they are left to science or not. Isn't that illegal? I know where I live you only get a cadiva if they donated their body to science. So then this guy says they give th...

10. Chemistry!

    jennk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just started Intro to Chemistry, and am having a horrible time!! I feel so stupid in this class!! If anyone is really good at chemistry, I could use your help. We are doing conversions, like 12 nanometers to centimeters. How in the world do y...

11. How to pass Anatomy and physiology ?

    jennk replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree!!! It definately takes constant studying time to get it! I carried a 96 the whole way through A&P, but I failed one test with a 72 and it dropped me to a B. I was so dissappointed and emailed my professor about it because I carrie...

12. Outrageous !!!!!!!

    jennk replied to barefootlady's topic in Nevada

    The price of homes everywhere seems to be crazy. I am thinking of moving to NV when I finish nursing school, but to me living there is much cheaper than living where I do. I live near the beach, so a mobile home with a small piece of land is $200K...

13. NLN Entrance Exam

    jennk replied to zannie's topic in General Students

    I took the NLN, and I thought it was a hard. But I passed it. I think what makes it hard is that your timed, and it's just stressful. As for taking it at the end of the first year, I am unsure how your school works. I was instructed when I signed ...

14. How many classes do you take?

    jennk posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I am currently working a full time day job and go to school in the evenings. I was wondering if you could tell me how many classes you take if you work full time as well? I don't want to overload myself, but I do feel as though I can...

    jennk posted a topic in Career Support

    I am thinking of relocating to that area when I am finished school. I was wondering if anyone has any idea as to what their RN's start off there? Thanks
