  1. Afraid it will never happen...

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

    I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son. :icon_hug: Here's a hug! Hang in there. It's so easy to get discouraged. We all do it. Keep plugging away in the right direction. CC's may have a...

  2. women's issues?

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

    Battered women is a great idea. Maybe going to a shelter and checking it

  3. Application Complete

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

    Sounds like you did a fantastic job! Now the hard part is sitting back and waiting. A lot of us are in the same boat waiting to hear. Good luck. Keep us

  4. What is a union????

    Kathyz replied to cvwshadow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd agree with the first response; a complete waste of $$$. The union "bargains" for the rights of workers. Do the workers have any idea as to where their dues are going to.............No! Usually...

  5. Accelarted 2nd degree BSN programs

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

    Hopefully I'll be accepted into a 12 month ABSN program which starts this May. I heard they make you sign a contract stating you will not work. I'm not sure how work would be possible. It's...

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

    Good

  7. Off topic: How do you keep house?

    Kathyz replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    I have a cleaning lady that comes once every other week. In between I use the swiffer a lot and always make sure the beds are made and clothes are picked up before I leave. My son and husband could...

  8. They didn't get my application packet which was sent like ten days ago!!!!

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

    I'm sorry to hear what happened. Knowing schools it's probably there somewhere. Give it a day or two then call back. I hand delivered

  9. Organic Chemistry

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

    Love that Sparknotes website. Thanks for the info.

  10. Organic Chemistry

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

    Organic is required because I'm applying to a BSN program. Many of the ADN students required only basic

  11. Organic Chemistry

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

    I'm in organic this semester too. You really need to go to the tutoring sessions and work the problems. There's no other way around it. Good

  12. how to wait... patiently

    Kathyz replied to rn2bein08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Credit cards have the "right" to up your interest rate based on late payments to other carriers. It is in the actual "contract" which no one reads. I saw a special on it on PBS and it made me almost...

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

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

    Good luck to you.

  14. waiting.............

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

    Congratulations you two on getting your interview. Good luck. :yelclap: Let us know how it went. For my ABSN program there are no interviews or tests. Strictly letters of rec, transcripts and a...

  15. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

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

    Becky, I just finished A&P II. I went to open lab hours on Saturdays and looked reviewed all the parts before any lab practical. It really helped. She also let us take home our "body parts"...

  16. question..please help!

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

    I think you should wait until you get a letter. If you get in let them know then. As long as you finish the class before the program starts and you meet their minimum grade requirement I don't see a...

  17. waiting (im)patiently....

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

    Congrats

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

    Congratulations!! That's

  19. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

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

    I actually enjoyed chem more than A&P. Memorize the rules and you'll be OK. I did spend 2 class days per week with my professor. It look a lot of work and time but I actually got an "A". The...

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

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

    I know I've been in lab only 4 times so far but when do you get the hang of what you're looking at? I'm getting pretty good at staining but once I look under the microscope I haven't a clue. Will it...

  21. how to wait... patiently

    Kathyz replied to rn2bein08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure they know who they want. They never want to make it look like they've made a decision within a few weeks. Schools want to make it appear as though they've agonized over the hundreds of...

  22. how to wait... patiently

    Kathyz replied to rn2bein08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about formulating a back up plan? If you don't get in are you going to redo some classes, apply to a different school, get a job to gain experience, go into something completely different? You...

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

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

    Glad I had my $4.00 sweatshirt on for lab today. It is already marked up with several different color dyes. I'm surprised no one else from my class has gotten anything on their clothes. Some wear...

  24. Anyone going to OCC? (Oakton Comm College)

    Kathyz replied to Paula7's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I know someone who had her and loved her. You should really rethink the BSN route. I heard Rush North Shore will pay a $18k sign on bonus. I wasn't too impressed with the nurses at OCC when I went...

  25. Should I worry that I received a C in Anatomy?

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

    I applied to an ABSN program and am waiting to hear. My only fear are those 2 C's in anatomy. I have a strong undergrad GPA and a 4.0 GPA from my masters plus two excellent letters of...
