  1. Do/did you enjoy Nursing School? Or hate it?

    ErikaMarie replied to Jayden8139's topic in General Students

    Thanks for posting this! I really appreciate seeing that it wasn't a horror story for everyone. Personally, I'm so scared to start next month, I want to

  2. I'm Going to Scream!

    ErikaMarie replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    I couldn't deal with that kind of distraction. Someone tapping their pencil would make me scream. I might have gone to jail if I were you!

  3. First day of my REAL Nursing classes..scared ):

    ErikaMarie replied to uhohbube's topic in General Students

    It helps to know that the other students are probably feeling the exact same way. Pair up with someone you think might have these issues too, rather than the girl who could be a model & will make...

  4. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    ErikaMarie replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Maybe some people get off on being mean but it reminds me of when I played volleyball. We had a coach who was hardcore & the other girls didn't like her but I LOVED that she pushed me to do my...

  6. Is there such a thing as a US accredited online ASN program?

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mean one that doesn't require an LPN license... I'm getting older. I work full time as it is & I have a mortgage to pay. I want to have a child before I get too old but I've looked into...

  7. Is there such a thing as a US accredited online ASN program?

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

    I had assumed that even though the classes would be online, there would still be clinicals scheduled with a local healthcare facility. Other online programs require this, so I believe an ASN would...

  9. Is there such a thing as a US accredited online ASN program?

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

    I don't even want an LPN. It just seemed like the only way to get my RN online... LPN-RN. I can get my LPN online, but I can't get my RN. It's frustrating because what I want doesn't seem within...

  10. A&PI&II cumulative final!!

    ErikaMarie replied to htinker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am a pre-nursing student & I want to get my CNA. If I take the class at school, it will put me back a semester. A small hospital nearby offers a class through a one year contract agreement but...

    ErikaMarie replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We dissected fetal pigs, cats, sheep brain, & cow eyeball in A&P I. A&P II so far has been a cow's heart. I had huge issues with this. I was tempted to make a big stink about it to the...

  14. I'm applying to volunteer at the local hospital!

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

    Yeah, I definitely don't plan to work any more than weekends while I'm actually in nursing school. While I'm in pre-nursing; however, I'll probably be working full time... at least until my fiance...

  15. I'm applying to volunteer at the local hospital!

    ErikaMarie posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I called the local hospital to see what kind of contracts they offered new nurses so I could have my tuition paid for. They told me they didn't have contracts, but would pay my tuition on a prorated...

  16. Anyone taking A&P I this summer 08

    ErikaMarie replied to chugger1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loathe tissues! I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to get it! Now, the endocrine system & hormones, I can recite in my sleep... & I actually do.

  17. I'm applying to volunteer at the local hospital!

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

    I hope that they see how hard I work & will give me a chance. That grant, & having an extra push into the nursing program would help me IMMENSELY. If I have to wait 3 years, I might

  18. Nursing school and working full time

    ErikaMarie replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some nursing programs will NOT take you if you are working even at all. It's a VERY demanding course & you really don't have TIME to work between class & clinicals. Move back in with your...

    ErikaMarie replied to nurse2B0712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
