  1. Greetings Missourians/lets get to know each other

    WDWpixieRN replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    I am also in the St. Louis area and waiting to start St. Louis Comm. College in the fall. I am 40+ and worry that my age will be a bit of a hindrance, but see from other threads that I probably...

  2. Do you worry you won't get accepted?

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

    Wow.....I guess I should consider myself lucky that the CC's here put you on a waitlist and it's first-come, first-served after you complete the prereqs with a "C" average. I actually considered that...

  3. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    WDWpixieRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought that was darling, too....and it was one of my favorites on that site. The other site (wazoodle? or whatever) had some fabric with band aids and stuff, too. I'm sure you'll love it; what a...

    WDWpixieRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.sew-whats-new.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-13562.html http://www.wazoodle.com/ (do a search for "scrubs" -- CUTE!!) Ah, jeepers.....since you appreciated that, here's an interesting thread I...

  5. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    WDWpixieRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Denver Fabrics ebay.com (do a search for scrubs fabric) I only did a brief online search for scrubs fabric; you might try other searches. I know I've also seen some at Hancock and JoAnn's fabric...

  6. Pre-RN no expirence jobs

    WDWpixieRN replied to Hind12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am hoping once I get accepted into an RN program that I can get a job in a hospital. I would probably especially be interested in being a unit clerk or ER admitting. A year or so ago, I applied to...

  7. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    WDWpixieRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks....looks like something I could use to peruse while I wait to get started in a program....I have finished prereqs, coreqs, pain-in-the-neckreqs, and am worried I'll get rusty before I can start...

  8. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    WDWpixieRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would one of you mind expanding on what these are? This is the first I have heard of anything "Incredibly Easy.." in reference to nursing school...lolol....but I am curious what these are?

  9. No Chemistry

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

    I agree that chemistry is often referred to in many other classes. Honest, if you're passing A & P and other classes with high grades, you'll be fine. I am 50 years old and avoided the sciences...

  10. Mom trying to talk me out of nursing

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

    Wow.....could be anything -- jealousy, not understanding, an unhappy person who can't stand to see another happy? Who knows? I will say this -- many people just can't seem to not project their...

  11. Iam In!!!!!!!!! I am so excited but soooo scared :)

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

  12. suffering from Burn Out?!?

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

    I'll be curious what others have to impart, also. I've been on break this semester as all my prereqs and anything I can take outside of the program are complete and it's been NICE. So nice, I...

  13. what to do about admissions (long)

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

    Not to sound ignorant, but have you checked to see if you can get a deferment on the loan so you wouldn't have to start making payments so soon? I don't know how difficult they are to get or what the...

  14. Where do I start??

    WDWpixieRN replied to ddierker's topic in General Nursing

    The only part-time program I am aware of in the St. Louis area is through Barnes. All the other programs are full-time days. If someone is aware of another program that's part-time, I'd love to hear...

  15. St Louis University

    WDWpixieRN replied to lioneyes's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be curious to know if anyone had information on this program, also. I am hesitant to attempt one of these accelerated programs as so many say not to plan to work, but unfortunately, I have bills...

  16. St. Louis Community College

    WDWpixieRN replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

    It took me 2 semesters to get an admittance letter from Forest Park. Three for Meramec. I applied at the end of summer

  17. take my survey for stats class - PLEASE!

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

    1) B 2) F 3) B Best

  18. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    WDWpixieRN replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh, yeah...been there, done that....did you "sell" you expected quota of credit cards/mortgages/personal loans? Have you EVER dealt with people and their money? You know it's your personal fault as...

  19. Anyone else in a funk?

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

    I can really empathize. I have completed all my prereqs and due to personal reasons, had to take a deferral when my name came up on the list 2 semesters in a row...I have told myself that no matter...

  20. About San Antonio Community Hospital

    WDWpixieRN replied to tramalady45's topic in California Nursing

    I had children there 18 and 20 years ago and thought they were great at that time! Any visits we ever made to that facility were wonderful from a patient's perspective! I would hope to hear that...

  21. Ventral surface question

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

    Well spoken....this was exactly what I was thinking. And the earlier posts were not much nicer responses to people who were trying to understand the original question and the subsequent ones.

  22. Anyone else in a funk?

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

    I found that the further along I have moved in taking prereqs (A & P II for instance), the more serious the majority of the students were....unlike some of the more basic classes that are required...

  23. What a disappoinment, I'm SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

    I took an online chemistry course in an 8-week summer format!! And this from an old gal who had no clue about metrics!! Some labs were done in a PC format, and every other Saturday we met for live...

  24. I want to be a nurse, have no idea how to begin...Please Help!!!

    WDWpixieRN replied to jennl15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Something else to keep in mind -- I tend to be a little shy and not real forward, so sometimes in those college settings you can find someone who's in a rush or not maybe as helpful, informative, or...

  25. A&PI - Need Advice!!

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

    Jame: First of all, you mention you have a BS....so I think you're going to be fine...unless you've got a teacher who is totally off-the-wall and tough as nails....second of all, I'm a 50-year old...
