  1. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    krenee replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I was the same, but still check into the academic renewal. That will actually remove the bad grades from your record, bring your GPA up, and then it won't be an issue at all, rather than hoping...

  2. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    krenee replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    Well, I'll warn you . . . I'm still paying for my disastrous first go-round in college. But I applied for and received an "academic renewal" . . . some schools call them forgiveness . . . but look...

  3. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    krenee replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I'm 38, just started nursing school. I'm not the oldest; there are many older than me. No one thinks anything of it anymore. I can tell you that me at 19 could NEVER have done this. I wasn't...

  4. LPN or RN

    krenee replied to phillies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not all CCs have a waiting list . . . mine doesn't. I got in as soon as I applied. I'm 38 and going for the RN, I just knew I wanted to be an RN and why waste time going LPN to RN. And yeah, why...

  5. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    krenee replied to veronica123's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry . . . but how does two As and one C constitute "failing out"??? This is a serious exaggeration, and I think it's indicative of your thinking. You need to be more positive! You're NOT...

  6. How Much Time do You Spend Studying a Day for A&P

    krenee replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I studied a LOT but I was taking an online class so didn't have the benefit of lectures. Minimum, 3 hours a day, max was between 5-6. So average, 4 hours per day. I was really stuck on getting an A ....

  7. What do you do to keep up at night to study?

    krenee replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is that the only time you can study? I think you should study when it's best for you. I'm a night person, so it's fine with me, but once I feel myself getting tired, I don't think I'm getting as...

  8. From mom to mom advice

    krenee replied to Holliday's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I would recommend you find a friend or even a paid caregiver to back you up and watch your child if she gets sick. Hopefully you won't need that many sick days, but you honestly never know. My...

  9. nursing school through CC...

    krenee replied to steenerz's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Oh sorry - yes, I meant nova! Good luck, I'm sure you won't have any problem!

  10. nursing school through CC...

    krenee replied to steenerz's topic in Virginia Nursing

    As of this year, it was quite easy to get in. I finished my prereqs in May and still got in for the fall 2007. As of May, I was told that there were spots available and they hoped not to turn anyone...

  11. Need Big Time Advice

    krenee replied to nitewarrior's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I can't help, as I'm just starting nursing school - but I wanted to say you'll probably get more replies if you post this in another forum - maybe "first year of nursing" or general nursing. This...

  12. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    krenee replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    Check out www.marriagebuilders.com . There may be some good advice there. My opinion is that if you can work it out, that's better than divorce. It doesn't sound 100% like a lost cause from what...

  13. My orientation!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had my nursing school orientation this week. I thought I'd share about it here, since all the "nursing students" in that forum wouldn't have a need to know. Things that surprised me - I didn't...

  14. Do ADN nurses graduate with a robe or nurse uniform?

    krenee replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    How funny . . . since I just got into the nursing program I have no idea what our school wears for graduation - but when you say "uniforms", you mean scrubs? That's basically what our uniforms are....

  15. Moving to Ft Belvoir area

    krenee replied to ArmyWife,RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Fairfax County is VERY expensive. Prince William County is not all bad (re the Woodbridge comment). There are bad areas and very nice areas to live within Prince William County. The commute to Ft....

  16. Myriad of questions from the newbie...

    krenee replied to USMCWife07's topic in Virginia Nursing

    :welcome: Hi, I'm going to NOVA, just got into the nursing program this fall. First, did you take Chemistry or Biology in high school? If not you will need both of those. Also you need a C or...

  17. Summer Session Sign In

    krenee replied to misserlizzer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm halfway through my 12 week pharmacology - so far I'm maintaining an A but I can never relax! I'm a couple of days behind (I'm VERY anal about my "schedule" and I have to be cuz it's an online...

  18. How many hours do you study each day?

    krenee replied to olufemi254's topic in General Students

    Actually, that's impressive to me (that you can study that little in NS!) I'm taking Pharmacology this summer and planned to study 2 hrs per day but it isn't enough and I've had to bump it up to 3-4....

  19. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    krenee replied to kayel's topic in General Students

    name: kelly school: northern virginia community college program:associates degree in nursing what area of interest at this time: leaning towards pediatrics, but maybe er biggest fear:that i'll be at a...

  20. For those who have just gotten in

    krenee replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I am scared about starting in the fall, I know it will be hard. My plan is also to keep working out, that's a great stress relief. I'll try hard to get enough sleep, and mostly stay...

  21. My orientation!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine doesn't . . . it includes textbooks on different aspects of nursing but no reference books. I have a nursing drug handbook that was required for my pharmacology class though (which I'm taking...

  22. My orientation!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like I said, they were really easy - adding, subtracting, multiplying & dividing with fractions, some rounding questions, some conversions from metrics to english but they gave us the conversion...

  23. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    krenee replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew several students (in my chemistry class!) who were going for Cs because a C was the required grade so they didn't have to re-take it. However, the nursing program did up the GPA requirement so...

  24. Do you think it is too late to go into nursing?

    krenee replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 38 and starting NS in the fall, so I will also be 40 when I graduate! Yeah, I was nervous about it too. But I went to my orientation the other day and there were plenty of people older than me...

  25. Acceptances for the year 2007

    krenee replied to maverickemt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted to Northern Virginia Community College for fall . . . starts in August. I'm very excited because orientation is Tuesday, so finally all my questions will be answered about what it will...
