1. Whew...1st chemistry test done!

   SDNurseWannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Finally, the test is here and gone! I was so stressed about it last night and this morning that I barely slept. I think I must have the easiest chem professor in the world because the test was a breeze. It was 20 multiple choice questions--5 being co...

2. Feeling Guilty-Kids,Work&school

   SDNurseWannabe replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ugh...I am so with you on this. My kids are 5 and 9. The 9yo is great...very supportive. My 5 yo is constantly begging me to stop going to school and stay home to play with her. She cried to my dh just last night that she wishes I would just go back ...

   SDNurseWannabe replied to texas_lvn's topic in South Dakota

   Welcome to the Black Hills! I can't speak to nursing jobs because I'm still doing my prereqs but there are 2 schools here...University of South Dakota (ADN) and South Dakota State University (BSN). You can finish your prereqs at the School of MInes (...

4. Studying????

   SDNurseWannabe replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been studying for the most part...trying to find the balance is a challenge. I've already had 2 quizes in Humanities and 2 essays due...I got A's on all of it!! YAY!!! I've had a couple of English assignments and my chem class is heating up for ...

5. Chemistry...not as bad as I thought it would be!!

   SDNurseWannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had my first Chemistry class yesterday and I am so relieved!! My professor is really relaxed and put us all at ease. The material isn't going to be easy but I have a feeling it's going to be presented in a way that will make it understandable. I fe...

   SDNurseWannabe replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Student loans, Baby! And a pell grant. I'm going to be in debt for awhile but it's so worth it!

   SDNurseWannabe replied to jenna3uc's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh NO!!! I hope you feel better by Tuesday! Funny (not really) what our bodies do in times of stress...and it just stresses us out more!!! Drink lots of oj and get plenty of sleep!! Feel better! Lanie

8. first day back "anyone nervous?"

   SDNurseWannabe replied to jenna3uc's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a little nervous...mostly 'fear of the unknown' type nervous. I was/am stressed about fitting it all in but I'm sure now that it's all about timing and scheduling. It'll all work out. Good luck to everyone!!!!! Be sure to check in after classes t...

9. What the heck was I thinking????

   SDNurseWannabe replied to SDNurseWannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for all of the replies. I should have clarified...I am going back to school after 15 years, I have 2 kids and a husband, and I work full time. I am just having a little bit of a freak out...second guessing myself, I suppose.

10. What the heck was I thinking????

    SDNurseWannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    ACK! The term doesn't start until Monday and I am already having an anxiety attack. I got the course schedules for my 2 online classes today--I am totally overwhelmed--and I have 2 other classes in addition to those! WHY did I take 14 credit hours? I...

11. For those that have already had Chemistry

    SDNurseWannabe replied to SDNurseWannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Whew! That's what I was hoping to hear. I can do the basics-I actually remembered a lot more than I thought I would. Thanks!! Lanie

12. For those that have already had Chemistry

    SDNurseWannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    HELP! LOL At our school college algebra is required before chemistry (for obvious reasons). I took Algebra in my 'former' college career 15 years ago and did pretty well (B). So, I don't HAVE to take algebra since I already have the credit but I'm su...

    SDNurseWannabe replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking Chem 106...I think it will be ok but I haven't had algebra in 15 years or so. I got 'Algebra for Dummies' and I am brushing up...hopefully that will be enough! Lanie

15. Online classes

    SDNurseWannabe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Are they harder?? In my infinite wisdom (or a crazy act of a desperate woman... :chuckle ) I have registered for 2 classes online--English 101 and Intro to Humanities. I am hoping this wasn't a mistake!! I'm starting to freak out just a little bit a...
