    Were you scared of needles or blood?

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Pixiesmom replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still chugging away at my pre-req's but I thought I'd share a few things. My husband's Uncle passed away this summer. He hadn't been in the best of health for a few months and he ended up with...

    Scientific calculator for Chem?

    Pixiesmom replied to AZmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the top of the line graphing calculator. I'm guessing that this one will be sufficient for any chem class I will encounter. At least I hope

    Pixiesmom replied to bon jovi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess they want us to be well prepared for when and if we get into the program, that and I'm sure it helps to weed out some of the students as well. When it's all said and done I will have spent 4...

    Pixiesmom replied to bon jovi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the catalogue for my school is very misleading, well it was to me. It lists the ADN track program and lists the pre-req's but nothing for the classes. I would try and called the nursing...

    Pixiesmom replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
