  1. SO how was your first day of nursing school?

    IaCountryGirl replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    Well, I only had two hours of practical nursing lecture. Most of it was spent going over stuff, meeting everyone else, and expectations. I've got a strict instructor. Right now I feel lost. I have...

  2. Anatomy....................Anatomy................ .....Anatomy :) Advice, please!

    IaCountryGirl replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Students

    Make flash cards- don't buy them. Buying them seems nice because in the end you'll make a ton of them but the process of writing everything out helps you remember. Stick these flashcards in your...

  3. Kaplan LPN program

    IaCountryGirl replied to Kari.Russ's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I would stay far, far away from Kaplan. My bf started there and the headaches he went through with financial aid made him quit. FIrst he was approved, then he wasn't approved because of "missing...

  4. I can't take online classes in the Spring!

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school puts a hold on your ability to take online classes if you fail two or more. I don't recall if anyone remembers last spring semester but my husband and I seperated, I moved out and now we're...

  5. Will I be neglectful and selfish?

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

    If there's one thing I've learned, it's that not everyone is supportive. And people are entitled to their own opinions. That said education is not a waste of money. For one, there are far far worse...

  6. A&P Help... From My Brain to Yours!

    IaCountryGirl replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have heard of people typing up notes on the comp but raelly had no clue how they went about it but now this makes sense to me and I think I will be giving it a try next semester (A&P II here I...

  7. Math

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried searching but honestly, I'm so tired right now and frustrated (it's making me cry!) that I'm going to type out my problem here. I hope someone can help me. I am in intermediate algebra and we...

  8. How do I pay my bills?

    IaCountryGirl replied to PLM311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind loans have to be repaid and when it's federal student aid, there really is no way to get out of repaying them. They are good about working with you if you are having financial troubles...

  9. Aspiring Nurse

    IaCountryGirl replied to Mybella0508's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would first suggest starting by comparing all the schools. IF you decide to continue your degree beyond ADN, you want to make sure that classes you take transfer. Example....the CC here transfer...

  10. Math

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

    No, Prenursing that makes more sense......the books was being complicated in explaining it. I hit purplemath.com last night by accident and it helped break it down better for me. It seems the...

  11. Anyone else take Summer off?

    IaCountryGirl replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the summer off because I was getting burn out bad. If you read one of my last topics, you might remember I failed spring semester and went through a divorce. Anywho, I'm ready for school to...

  12. Online Classes

    IaCountryGirl replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each person has their own definition of "easy". It depends on what type of learner you are and what your strengths are. I have taken many classes online and about the only ones I really struggled...

  13. Minor setback

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been here in awhile due to school. This semester was supposed to be my last semester of prereq's....then enter in splitting from my husband and the fighting that comes with it plus moving...

  14. How do you take notes?

    IaCountryGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of my classes are online except Professionals in Health, which is a minor class going over HIPAA, OSHA, professional behavior in the medical field, etc etc. Anyway, last week was my first class...

  15. Needing advice for A&P I!!!

    IaCountryGirl replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As everyone else has said, it's not technically hard, it's just that a lot of information is being thrown at you. First, I recommend brushing up on medical terminology- a short course textbook should...

  16. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    IaCountryGirl replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We just got done with cells and tissues. Monday we have a lecture exam and then wednesday I have a lab exam. The instructor is kind enough to provide us with already made notecards that he did...

  17. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    IaCountryGirl replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep :) He died 6 months ago, 96 male cause of death was CHF. I may try the mask. Also wonder if swiping some vicks under my nose would help. I am not sure if it's from inhaling the chemicals or...

  18. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    IaCountryGirl replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had my first class and lab tonight. We didn't do much in lecture, just went over the syllabus and stuff. The instructor is really cool, very nice and admits he doesn't think the text book is all...

    IaCountryGirl replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class starts next week with wed being the first day of class. I have lecture on mon and wed nights with lab being on wed night after lecture. I am also taking it with a coworker! But she signed...

  20. Totally Freaking Out! :(

    IaCountryGirl replied to FinderKeeper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with the college first to see their policy on taking the compass. Some schools will only allow you to take it once so you want to be sure that is not the case with yours before you take it and...

  21. Don't know where to start.....

    IaCountryGirl replied to Gurmo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. Are you looking at the prereq list for schools in missourri? That maybe the name of the class for that particular college. Each school can vary on what the class name is. The best...

  22. How many credits per quarter?

    IaCountryGirl replied to morningstarRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take about 13 credits each semester. I have two young kids and work part time. I have found it's not so much the number of credits I take, but how many classes I take. Fall semester I had 6...

  23. Which Instrument Should I Pick?

    IaCountryGirl replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I vote for the piano as well! I did piano and clarinet when I was younger. I miss the piano the most. I would love to have my piano but have no place for a player piano at the house so it sits in...

  24. Spring 2007 is history!

    IaCountryGirl replied to RunnerLuvLisa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did better then I thought I would. I ended up with an A in Micro. I was worried my GPA was going to drop below a 3.4, which I need to maintain my enrollment in Phi Theta Kappa. Between psych,...

    IaCountryGirl replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not in the nursing program yet nor am I finished with prereq's but I have already heard it. So far family has been really encouraging but had one friend who had friends going through the nursing...
