  1. ø¤º°* Medical Microbiology Winter 2006 Club*°º¤ø

    Kathyz replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ladies, I feel your pain. Unfortunately I'm one of those airheaded lab partners. I swear my teacher doesn't explain things well. Or maybe it's just my age. Fortunately for me I received an A on my...

  2. ø¤º°* Medical Microbiology Winter 2006 Club*°º¤ø

    Kathyz replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still having difficulty with the whole Selective and Differential thing. Can anyone help out? Why is Mannitol Salt Agar both selective and differential? Any helpful sites? Thanks!

  3. Just need a shoulder to cry on.....

    Kathyz replied to dorselm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're fourth on the waiting list you have a really great chance of getting in! Call the school once a week or every two week and pleasantly inquire into your status. Hang in there! You know...

  4. Is Micro harder than A&P?

    Kathyz replied to nursecher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is pretty straightforward. I like it a lot more than A&P. Much easier, not a ton of body parts and processes. You'll enjoy it. You may want to bring an old T-shirt for the lab portion....

  5. Body Worlds

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

    I saw Body Worlds in Chicago over Labor Day weekend. It was truly awesome; croweded but awesome. The best part was the pregnant woman. You saw the fetus too. Make sure you don't miss

  6. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks, Gompers. I'm going to check it out in a few weeks. They're having an open house. They're part of Res Hospital now and are actually located in West Suburban Hospital. I'll keep you all...

  7. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks, emloo. My BA is in Psych with a Master's in Counseling Psych. I'm not a science major. I really want an interview so that they can see what type of person I am and how much I want to be a...

  8. I got my letter....

    Kathyz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    and I didn't get in. They take 60 out of 300+ for their accelerated program. I almost feel naiive for thinking they would accept me (because I'm an alumn for one thing)! I'm looking into another...

  9. Nursing School Essay

    Kathyz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone ever used a service to help write their nursing essay? That could have been part of my problem and I don't want to repeat it! Any thoughts / advice / recommendations?

  10. I got my letter....

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

    Thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments. I appreciate it. My mom is taking me for a haircut and dinner tonight to cheer me up. Actually I'm fine. I need to submit my materials for the 4/1...

  11. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks, Chi. The good news for you is that you do know where you'll be! That's great! I'm not upset anymore. Kind of amazing. But I knew there wasn't anything I could do about their decision....

  12. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Chi, sorry to hear you didn't get in (either)!! What are you going to do

  13. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I feel the exact same way. Plus I have a Master's from Loyola. They were right when it says that holds 0 weight with them. Their loss. I may try Rush. I definitely will. Let me know and I'll...

  14. West Suburban College of Nursing

    Kathyz replied to nursingstudentWSCN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Should I completely avoid applying to this

  15. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    X, I'm sorry to hear that. I was a little worried about my GPA. What are you going to do

  16. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks, Chi. How was the NET? What book did you buy? Maybe you will get into Loyola. You never

  17. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks Gompers. I'm going to apply to Rush's 2 year (7Q) accelerated program. It starts in Sept. It may work out better since my son is in high school and I'll have more time to spend (and cart him...

  18. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Unfortunately I didn't get in. Yes, I'm extremely disappointed. My mom and husband are trying to down play it for my sake ("It's not the end of the world", etc). I understand what they're trying...

  19. Is anyone in the Loyola ABSN Program?

    Kathyz replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I called Loyola yesterday and was put in touch with my "admissions counselor". Unfortunately he was out all day so I left him a VM just asking if the letters had gone out, etc. Hopefully he'll call...

  20. hey..what do you think?

    Kathyz replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the teacher who overheard you doesn't work at one of the schools you applied to, you're fine. If she does, however, she may be part of the grapevine. Besides, why would your anthropology teacher...

  21. About To Take The Leap

    Kathyz replied to IWANT2BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree w/ the above poster. A&P, at least for me, was the worst!! I'd rather do Organic Chem anyday. Congratulations on your decision. I'm sure it was a very tough decision for you, especially...

  22. I don't think this is going to work...

    Kathyz replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you should shelve your dreams. For one reason, it will make you somewhat unhappy and therefore your family will sense that. Two, one day your kids will leave and you'll be there doing...

  23. Taking care of ourselves

    Kathyz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been rationalizing that I've been too busy with school to eat healthy. This week alone we went out 6 out of 7 nights!! I need to slow down and realize that A's aren't everything...

  24. Stressful Times and Sometimes Lonely... Can Anyone Relate?

    Kathyz replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :icon_hug: We all feel lonely at times, even if our parents are around (I see my mom just about everyday for lunch). It's certainly OK to have these feelings. Just stay focused on your goal, your...
