    marinemommy posted a topic in General Nursing

    marinemommy replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Christin! I'm also a mom of three, ages 6, 3.5, and almost 2 (and am also named Kristin, so we're very similar!) and am starting up my pre-reqs this semester. I have a previous degree but didn't...

  5. Transferability of Edukan courses

    marinemommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am trying to get as many classes taken online as possible due to working part-time and taking care of my kids. The less classes I have to attend, the better. I didn't know about Edukan until I saw...

  7. just waiting

    marinemommy replied to student to be in VA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. expired classes

    marinemommy replied to clairedeauville's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everything near me has a 5 or 10 year expiration and unfortunately, I took the pre-reqs 11 years ago. Or perhaps it was 12.... either way, they're expired. I'm just going ahead and re-taking them. I...

    marinemommy replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Chem and Anatomy together?

    marinemommy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your personality, if you work, out-of-school stresses, and past experience. I'm taking Anatomy & Physiology (two separate classes) this semester and Chem & Micro in the Spring -...

    marinemommy replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a loan through my bank (Wellsfargo) called an Education Connection loan. It comes directly to me and it covers the cost of living expenses. I have 3 kids so there is no way that my husband's...

    marinemommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Taking 3 sciences at once

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

    marinemommy replied to sushiwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Advice on being burnt out

    marinemommy replied to Taurus_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I took Pharmacology online last semester and it was tough. I got an A by studying like crazy and of course, flash cards! You really do need to study every day for that

  20. It just isn't fair

    marinemommy replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can see how being waitlisted can be frustrating but honestly, I don't think that someone should be accepted just because they have a "calling" to nursing. So what if what drives them is money - as...

  21. What to do about GPA

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

  22. What to do about GPA

    marinemommy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. A & P question....HELP!!

    marinemommy replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always found the best way to learn A & P is to write it out. I guess it depends on your learning style but for me once I write it out and go over it again, it is easier to
