1. Nervous about chemistry, what resources did you use to study?

   neon puppy replied to rnchem's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Khan Academy was very helpful for me to supplement the classes/book, especially for some of the more tricky concepts. But people learn differently! I really took my time with the assigned homework, too, and that helped - I got an A in both chem class...

2. Career Change!

   neon puppy replied to apeter's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello! Yes, I'm in the same boat. I currently work in marketing and am taking prerequisites to apply for an ABSN program. My husband, a former EMT and a current PA student, actually inspired me! (If he could do it, so could I, lol!) Volunteering in ...

3. Attempting to become an RN

   neon puppy replied to dracromin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Some of my friends also have questioned my decision to leave my current "fancy" job to "wipe asses" as an RN - and I tell them I'd rather WIPE them than KISS them. :) I am still a few years away from becoming a nurse, but I have been volunteering in ...

4. Intro to Chemistry Help

   neon puppy replied to krrbrr's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree - ask your teacher! It sounds like you aren't struggling with the concepts, but with how to phrase the right answer. What terminology, exactly are you struggling with? Khan Academy is very helpful, if you have the time to invest.

5. What is BSN/MSN?

   neon puppy replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a career changer who will be applying to accelerated BSN programs, so it feels like I have to take a billion classes - Chem 1 & 2, Bio, Micro, A&P 1&2, Intro to Psych, Human Growth & Development, Nutrition, Statistics, and maybe E...

7. Chemistry sites please:)

   neon puppy replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Khan Academy totally helped me when I had a teacher that didn't teach! Even though it was hard (and slow going) I remember a lot more because I essentially had to teach it to myself. Good luck!!!

    neon puppy replied to neon puppy's topic in NP Students

    Thank you all for your helpful and informative responses! How would I go about finding an RN & NP to shadow in the Boston area? I had asked a few of my family friends (NPs) when I was first researching, but unfortunately they were not allowed to ...

11. Have I done all my research?

    neon puppy replied to neon puppy's topic in NP Students

    Oh absolutely! I have quite the spreadsheet going - the lowest common denominator for "shelf life" of courses is five years, at least for the programs I'm interested in.
