  1. Ever feel like this...?

    WDWpixieRN replied to bisson's topic in General Students

    Nice caveat to the 'community college' statement. I think each school is somewhat individualized from what I've read on these boards...I think each student is the same, also.... I was pretty much a...

  2. "Its dead, Jim"

    WDWpixieRN replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took chemistry online a couple of years ago and it was fine. A lot of self-learning and reading, some online lab 'experiments' (they were hilarious!), and then every other Saturday meetings with...

    WDWpixieRN replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Students

  4. Sorry Chemistry again..just looking for opinions

    WDWpixieRN replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And she's probably right from actual on-the-job usage, but I guarantee the concepts will come up in nursing school. If had a dollar for each time I heard, "You probably remember this from...

  7. Tips for looking more professional

    WDWpixieRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE this show, too!! It's amazing what great clothes these folks can buy for practically nothing!! Then again, sometime they're WAY above my budget!! I'd never heard of this store before, but...

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

    Fate has a funny way of telling us how our lives are going to go regardless of how much planning we put in to something.... You have a terrific attitude -- had your few minutes of pity party, then...

    WDWpixieRN replied to StudentNurseSteph's topic in Emergency

    I'm starting an internship in an ED after this semester ends. I am SO excited and terrified at the same time!! This is an area of nursing I've known I would be interested in since I started taking...

  13. Sorry Chemistry again..just looking for opinions

    WDWpixieRN replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't feel like I retained a lot from my chemistry class and I'm doing fine so far in my second semester of NS. I had had some nurses tell me that they thought it was STUPID I had to take chem,...

  14. Wow this is tuff

    WDWpixieRN replied to ks33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not familiar with any answers to your question, but I would suggest if there aren't programs, there may not be jobs to fill with graduates in your area. Just a guess...I understand LVN/LPNs...

  15. Which math would you take?

    WDWpixieRN replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure your statistics class will be transferable one day to wherever you might go for advanced nursing degrees. That will be one you'll need later on down the line for those degrees and if you...

  16. The dissecting thread has me worried...

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

    We only had animal parts we used in A & P....sheep's or cow's as I recall....a brain, an eye, a heart....nothing too heart-stopping....I was pretty grossed out at that point in my education at...

  17. How many new nurses are seriously thinking about quiting?

    WDWpixieRN replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am still in school, but this is infuriating to read....I never cease to be amazed at how a profession that can affect the life or death of other human beings can be so cruel and callous to its own....

  18. I need some encouragement :(

    WDWpixieRN replied to lullaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure you've checked with your local colleges to see what their admission standards are....the CC I attend only required biology and chemistry with a "C" to apply to the program, as well as a...

  19. I got in for the Fall!

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

    Check to see if there are any dental schools in your area....if I'm not mistaken, you can sometimes get that type of work done there at a much-reduced cost!! Good

  20. St. Johns Mercy

    WDWpixieRN replied to christmasjmt's topic in General Nursing

    I talked to a friend who's a tech at St. John's (St. Louis) and she said that's where she plans to work after we graduate. She think it's a great facility, union or not...she said the subject of the...

  23. Hardest part of nursing school

    WDWpixieRN replied to amf1987's topic in General Students

    My .02 cents to this conversation is to elaborate on what suninmyeyes has written....I read too often on these boards about petty, high-school type of antics that are going on while in NS...I can't...

  24. Confused about schools

    WDWpixieRN replied to badgerbabe287's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know specifics about the tech school(s) you are referring to, but a BIG issue that we have seen in town with one of the vocational schools is the ability, in the future, to transfer those...

  25. Rate My Professor

    WDWpixieRN replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And for some of us in nursing programs, it doesn't really matter how someone is rated...we get who we get and that's it....there is a team of instructors who teaches for each specific semester/topic....
