  1. Too worried about grades?

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

    LOL, yeah, you're worse than me . I just want an A in the class, I don't have to have an A on every assignment! As an update - I ended up with an 88, so I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly think...

  2. Too worried about grades?

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really thinking I'm getting hyper-sensitive about my grades, it bothers me SO much not to get an A and it really isn't necessary . . . to get into my nursing program, they don't even go by grades,...

  3. Studying-TEAS, taking test soon!

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

    I really don't! I'm sorry! It seems like there was some kind of physics, but I just can't remember exactly. Chemistry I don't remember any at all, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any, it just...

  4. Studying-TEAS, taking test soon!

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

    I'm having trouble remembering . . . but I can tell you for sure there was almost no anatomy, so I wouldn't spend a ton of time on that. I think there was only one anatomy question. There was...

  5. Too worried about grades?

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

    Wow, that's rough! They tested my dd for diabetes with this hospitalization and I didn't even want to contemplate the possibility - I know that's a lot, plus another one with a medical condition . ....

  6. Studying-TEAS, taking test soon!

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

    I was around there too and it was the 98th percentile. That will definitely be good enough! I agree, study all the conversions! Metrics to english and within each system. I bombed on those! But...

  7. How does Blackboard (online system some colleges use) work?

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

    My school uses Blackboard . . . for the online classes it's used as a place to post the assignments, syllabus, policies, etc. Also the grades are kept on there, which is nice to have for reference,...

  8. Online course...Yay or Nay?

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

    I have taken online classes for awhile now (out of necessity) and I didn't realize how much I loved them until I took an in-person class! I love the flexibility of the online class - that is, being...

  9. Tired all the time!!!

    krenee replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say it's definitely time to have a heart to heart with dh. There's only so much you CAN do, physically. Does he want you to be able to go to school and become a nurse? Also - is there any way...

  10. How many schools did you apply to?

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

    I'm only applying to one . . . it's the CC where I'm doing my prereqs. Their program it's good, it's the most convenient, and it's the cheapest. I've also applied to my local hospital for a...

  11. Am I alone? Please tell me I am not!

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

    My school doesn't have a "waiting list", if you don't get in one year you re-apply the next. The nursing programs only start in the fall, so you can't start mid-semester, even if someone drops out....

  12. How would you handle this?

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm having a conflict between two classes this semester. First let me say that my grades are important to me, BUT not actually important as far as getting into the nursing program (so they say). The...

  13. How would you handle this?

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

    Thanks all! Well, it turned out to be "much ado about nothing" because apparently I wasn't the only one, and she is now offering another date. Thank goodness. Apparently she was under the...

  14. How would you handle this?

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

    Thank you! I think that is what I will do. I am afraid of antagonizing her, when she in fact has all the power regardless of whatever the facts are. I figured since this is 10% of my grade if I get...

  15. I HATE the feeling right before an exam!

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

    Oh, lucky . . . ours doesn't work that way, I have to go to the college testing center for the exams . . . no open book! Anyway . . . I got a 78, not great, but could be worse. I think my average...

  16. I HATE the feeling right before an exam!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just thought I'd say that because . . . I'm going to take an exam . . . momentarily! :uhoh21: The course I'm taking is called Health Science and it is online, it includes A&P and Micro . . ....

  17. NVCC Fall 2007

    krenee replied to chikichiki17's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Congrats to both of you! I will be applying for Fall 2007 as well . . . but not until the last minute, because I'm still doing my pre-reqs this semester. I don't have much hope of getting in for the...

  18. Advice from Last Year Nursing Student

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

    Oh, I hate chemistry. But that's not my main issue with the OP's suggestion. The fact is some of us (OK, me!) can't afford to take any extra classes. Heck, I can't afford the classes I HAVE to...

  19. School is making me fat!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sooooo frustrated! (And by the way, FAT is an exaggeration) I'm actually at a healthy weight BUT I'm up about 5 lbs from where I like to be and the worst part is all my pants are uncomfortable...

  20. School is making me fat!

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

    Huh - English please? What's HIIT - high intensity interval training? That's what I do one day per week. I actually work out at home, so no machines, I use weights and it's not low weight high reps...

  21. School is making me fat!

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

    Thanks! No my workouts aren't all cardio, actually it's more weights. I'm doing 3 days of weights, two days of cardio and one day of yoga per week. And one rest day per week, sometimes two when I'm...

  22. finger callus prevention

    krenee replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yeah, my learning style is reading/writing, so I write a TON when I'm studying, although flash cards helps that somewhat - then I can write it once and go over it many times. For Christmas my mom...

  23. I don't know what to do with myself!

    krenee replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL I'd give my house a really REALLY good cleaning, because I won't have time when I'm in school . . . well, I'm in school NOW and I don't have time. The house is a wreck. Not much fun, but I'd...

  24. How do you get scholarships?

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

    Yeah, my dh makes too much money to get any help, but we live paycheck to paycheck (and NOT extravagantly, we have 3 kids!). What I'm doing is applying for a scholarship without local hospital. They...

  25. TEAS Test Question

    krenee replied to CilliansMommy06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Goodness, I only took it last month and it's still hard to remember exactly. Metric conversions, I bombed on, so study those. There were some word-type problems but not the really hard ones like...
