    Finished with a C in chemistry

    3rdgenRN2B replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it makes you feel any better... I have to retake chemistry this spring because mine expired!!! I only passed last time because I'm convinced the professor graded on a very generous curb... Maybe...

    Aww I appreciate it but I know for a fact that for my current school - and many others around me - that Chem expired about 2 years ago!! Lol. I could use the refresher tho so it's

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really do want this and have for some time now. I started taking pre-reqs years ago and know that my chemistry has since expired... but I don't mind taking it again anyway.... Thanks for all the...

    Update! I had a sit down with hubby to discuss this. He has been trying so hard to become a cop so that he can bring home the benefits. So there always that possibility. Up to now I was reluctant...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just researching and found some listings at my local hospitals for pt cnas with benefits. I'm sure these positions are hard to come by but it gives me a glimmer of hope. I was told by an...

    And... I'm throwing this out there to see if it would be a possibility... Anyone know if working as a Cna during nursing school might help with the insurance

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I guess I'm afraid of taking years of classes only to find out that I can't enroll in the actual nursing program. That would break my

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I thought of this too, but I'm scared that for whatever reason it won't happen. However, I also like to think that if it's meant to be, it will be. So, maybe. But I need encouragement!...

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone who has been following any of my posts knows that I have battled with whether or not to pursue nursing. I've battled anxiety and indecision over this. I've explored other options and have...

    How did you make it work?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to bfiehn0905's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what I'm looking at as well. My plan is to just save as much as possible and try not to worry just yet. As a pp said, I'll cross that bridge when I get to

    You have to retake all that? Wow. I don't feel so bad now. :) My school doesn't post syllabi in advance - wish they did!! I'll look into that book. Couldn't hurt. I have at least 3 semesters of...

    General Chemistry

    3rdgenRN2B replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it were me, I would wait to take it in the fall when the semester wasn't condensed. But, I don't handle short semester courses well. I need the full 15 weeks. I guess it depends on the person...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have been done and working years ago! I had started pre-reqs 7 years ago. So, I should add, I'm actually retaking chemistry because it expired. But, meanwhile, I had my kids and have lived...

    Frustrated...& seeking advice please!

    3rdgenRN2B replied to mag426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    22 credits is still a long way to go. I would focus on whatever you need to do to get into a nursing program. Take whatever pre-reqs you need and just focus on getting the best possible grades....

    gag reflex when changing a diaper, am I in trouble when dealing with patients?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Creativetype's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The poops probably won't get any smaller. However, I have been known to be a bit squeamish, and have talked to mother about this (who was a geriatric nurse for 30 years so she has seen A LOT) and she...

    Freaking myself out

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a good three years before even applying to a program and I'm already freaking out. If I got in I would have to quit a rather well paying job. My family is on my benefits. There is a good...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thinking of it, I guess it is pretty silly to worry now. Thanks for putting it all in perspective. That's why I love this forum.

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for that! I had a huge heart to heart with my hubby about this. He said he would hate to see me settle on something. That I should go for it. It's just a frightening thing to do - following...

    Is this even realistic?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's time to take a leap of faith. I'll be registering for chemistry next tues if not sooner.

    Is this even realistic?

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been on this board for years. I started on the nursing route right after getting married in 2006. I started pre-reqs, and just after registering for A & P 1, I got preggers with my older...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I did a little soul searching and decided nursing is really the only thing I want to do. I have a pretty good job right now so if I'm going to leave its going to be to pursue my dream. So I'm...
