    coolpeach replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Nurses Smoking

    coolpeach replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I have tried about everything. I can't do gum because of dental work, and when I tried the patch I had an allergic reaction to the adhesive. I knew I was allergic to bandaids, but I never thought...

    coolpeach replied to wish4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CC I applied to bases entry on a numbers system. They add your GPA, your Hesi entrance score - 75, up to 13 points for certain classes completed, and 3 points if you have already applied, and met...

  7. Am I too sensitive?

    coolpeach replied to krab8969's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a lot of it depends on the nurse. Just recently my son was in Childrens medical center for a week, and I stayed with him the whole time. The nurses would come in every couple of hours and...

    coolpeach replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am glad you solved your problem. I personally have been lucky so far with financial aid, but every semester I worry about it. What if something doesn't go through or happens etc. My backup plan has...

  11. (VERY long!) In a dilemma...need advice! :(

    coolpeach replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At where I am applying, and from what I have read about other schools its going to be almost impossible to get with that GPA. Most require at least a 2.75, but because its so competitive a 3.5 or...

  12. Nurses Smoking

    coolpeach replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Think about all the extra insurance premiums you pay. There are people who drink, and a safe amount for one person is liver damage for another. Think of those people who eat way too much, and...

  14. Nurses Smoking

    coolpeach replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Then all nurses would ALWAYS need to eat right, NO junk food at all. They would need to be in their weight range not over or under weight in the slightest. They would have to exercise several times a...

    coolpeach replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I am a smoker, but I am trying quit. I just started taking a drug, and I am also going to use the patch. I try to be very careful not to smell too much like smoke. I wash my hands, and use body spray...

    coolpeach replied to MikeInCO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Coloring books for A&P

    coolpeach replied to MikeInCO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought a coloring book for A&P, but found I really didn't use it much. My professor would make us responsible for knowing certain things, but all the other stuff in the pictures just made it...

  18. Family crises and NS

    coolpeach replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    coolpeach replied to rtray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The college I am applying to only had four pre reqs (English, Chemistry, A&P 1, and Pysch 1) so it seems fairly easy until you go to register. Then I found out I needed some math classes before I...
