  1. Didn't get the scholarship I applied for . . .

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

    Thanks everyone! I am working on getting a loan now, I filled out the FAFSA but I'm sure everyone will agree, it's ridiculous what they think you should be responsible for. We have a family of five...

  2. Didn't get the scholarship I applied for . . .

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Due to my poor GPA from 15+ years ago. It's SO hard to be paying now when I've gotten all As since being back in school last year. Anyway, I'm sad, any sympathy will be appreciated! The scholarship is...

  3. Potomac Hospital

    krenee replied to PEDSVA's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm also interested in Potomac . . . frankly it's the only place I can see working because I don't want to commute - if y'all live in NoVA you know about our infamous traffic - I've BDTD and don't...

  4. My chances?

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

    I'd look at community colleges. My cc only requires a C in prereqs and doesn't look at GPA beyond that . . . it's first come first served.

  5. Who really wants to help people????

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

    I laughed when I saw this because it's such a cliche. And not that it isn't TRUE, many of us want to help people . . . but when I sent in my personal statement applying for a nursing scholarship, I...

  6. Successful 1st semester!!!!

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

    Congrats, that's awesome! I should end up with all As too, but I have two exams to take still and a paper to write! I'm glad I don't have to take government, that is definitely not my thing!

  7. Wish me luck...TEAS test today

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

    The math portion was hardest from a time standpoint - do not spend too much time on any problem! I had zero time left after I finished the math portion. But I found the science more difficult, and I...

  8. Summer Session Sign In

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

    I was going to (and REALLY wanted to) take the summer off, but I decided to take Pharmacology. Online. I hope it's not too hard! Can't be any worse than this semester with Health Science...

  9. WWYD? Summer school

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying for the fall Nursing program at my cc, for 2007. I can't apply until this semester is over, so the entire time I've been thinking it would be full and it would be a long shot to get in...

  10. Light at the end of the tunnel!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to say, I can't believe the semester is almost over! This was a tough one for me, but I am happy to say I'm almost definitely going to get my 4.0 this semester! LOL of course if I think...

  11. Light at the end of the tunnel!

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

    Me too! LOL I asked my Chemistry professor if I could skip the final because if I fail it I still have an A, but he said no . Well, I can afford an F but not a 0! The worst thing is I still want...

  12. WWYD? Summer school

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

    The only classes I have left that I can do before I'm admitted to nursing are Pharmacology, Medical Terminology, and a Speech elective. I don't think I *can* do the speech over the summer because...

  13. Opinions Needed!!

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

    I know where you're coming from - I have two girls in my lab group in Chemistry - one is really trying, but struggling . . . the other doesn't show up half the time. Mostly because I want to help the...

  14. Anyone else taking on-line courses?

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

    Yes, I've done all my prereqs online except one. And I've seen threads on this before here, so I know everyone will tell you the same thing . . . self discipline, self discipline, self discipline! DO...

  15. Wish me luck...TEAS test today

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

    That's awesome, congrats! I agree, the study guide was much harder than the actual test. I suppose that's a good thing, but I was annoyed about all the endless hours I spent working on math things...

  16. I KNOW what to think...

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

    Good for you! I may soon be in the same boat, and I hope I handle it as well. I'm waiting every day for a letter regarding a scholarship, and in a few months I'll be waiting on a letter from a...

  17. The dissecting thread has me worried...

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

    We're dissecting a fetal pig . . . next week, actually! I don't know if it'll gross me out yet or not. I suspect not too much. I never heard of dissecting something that's live! That is bizarre!...

  18. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    krenee replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm leaning towards pediatrics, but ER is interesting to me too. I think I won't really know until I do my clinicals.

  19. Waiting on a different kind of letter!

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

    Yes, two years . . . but the nice thing is that it's the hospital I want to work at anyway, because I don't want to commute. I hope the competition isn't stiff! It's a great deal to have everything...

  20. Waiting on a different kind of letter!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied for a scholarship . . . the deadline was March 1st. I'm starting to get antsy waiting! Does anyone have a clue how long I should before I should expect to hear back on it? It's through...

  21. PREGNANT! What about school now!!!!

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

    I think waiting a year and taking online classes is a great idea! I wouldn't rush at this point. Newborns take so much energy out of you, not to mention pregnancy. I wouldn't want any more stress...

  22. Giving Shots

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

    Giving shots doesn't make me nervous, but starting IVs does! Based on my personal experience, it seems a lot trickier, and I don't want to use someone for a pincushion - which has happened to me and...

  23. Losing: Sleep, weight, friends, emotion, MY MIND!

    krenee replied to jonb1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, to a lot of that! Social life, I go out with a friend maybe once a month. Laundry, well, I have three kids and no job outside the home, so I make myself do one load a day BUT the rest of the...

  24. Wasn't much of a student

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

    I could've written your post! I'm having the same problem. However, my CC does have an academic renewal policy . . . I think that's what they called it. If the classes were awhile ago and you have...

  25. Thanks, nurses!

    krenee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student now, just finishing up my prereqs to apply for the nursing program. My 6 yo dd ended up in the hospital this week with a number of issues - not a fun time. Of course I was...
