  1. I'm scared, angry, and don't know

    WDWpixieRN replied to Annie2005's topic in LPN to RN

    I hope you mis-typed this....because if you seriously don't read the chapters AND don't understand why you might be failing, you really need to rethink things....I think Marie hit the nail on the...

    WDWpixieRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been to KC for a couple of weekend visits, but we enjoyed it a great deal and know folks who LOVE it!! I always felt a bit more of a west coast influence there, and someone who lived there...

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

  8. Who Would Like To Be Part Of The Lose Weight And Get Healthy Team?!

    WDWpixieRN replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd love to lose about 40 lbs., but at 51, I'd be happy to lose 25 or so and KEEP it off; I don't think I'll ever be my high school weight again!! My BP's up and I just started meds and I'd love to...

  10. Online course...Yay or Nay?

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

    Basically, I agree with what's posted above...I took an 8-week summer chemistry course online and also a traditional 16-week Human Growth and Development course online and did fine with...

  11. Oh NO!

    WDWpixieRN replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless the grade is vitally important to your GPA and admittance, I would be more concerned that you understand the concepts in this class....if it's anything like the math program at my CC, that...

  12. Take at least 6 units and never repay loans?

    WDWpixieRN replied to gordonarkell's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just make sure if your friend truly qualifies and wants a deferment, that they get the paperwork or whatever in order.... When I first returned to school to take prereqs, I got notice that my lender...

  13. Tired all the time!!!

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

    I think you answered your own question about why you're tired. Pills, caffeine, more sleep, etc., won't help....you're going to have to get your husband on board to help out more or find family...

    WDWpixieRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a question for a project that asks how you would "insert a Foley in an elderly female pt who is in Buck's traction prior to surgery" (for a hip fracture). I have looked through my texts and...

    Thanks....someone in our group suggested the pre-medication and then going for it in the traditional manner,

  17. Take at least 6 units and never repay loans?

    WDWpixieRN replied to gordonarkell's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Tell your friend to check directly with her lender. If she's got an ASN, I would think she could work some hours to be able to make payments on her loan. I would also suspect the institution where...

  18. Take at least 6 units and never repay loans?

    WDWpixieRN replied to gordonarkell's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can request a deferment while you are in school at least 1/2 time (which would be 6 units)....I have student loans from my BS in Business and am currently in deferment -- these were subsidized, so...

  19. Humanities Elective Credit

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

    I vote you review the course catalog, see what works with your schedule, and take something YOU will enjoy. There are enough "have to haves" while taking prereqs and in the nursing core and it will...

  20. Do you have to buy a stethoscope?

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

    Nope; I have never heard of that. I think I would check back with them and ask when you will need

  25. Sanford Brown College of St. Peters, MO LPN to ADN RN

    WDWpixieRN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in General Nursing

    And I'm not sure where the "100% pass rate" numbers came from, but in checking the MO pass rates, it doesn't look like that's quite accurate...their scores are decent, but definitely not 100%:...
