    DesertRain replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i used to think it was going to be the "poop" and the bloody wounds, needles (you know all the "gross") stuff that would make me reconsider this path i am taking. i am now in my last sem of prereq's...

  2. Do you think grades are universal?

    DesertRain replied to Mom2J&B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DesertRain replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome! And I'm glad you are making a good move forward for yourself. A lot of times you programs may say that they are for Americans only because they don't want someone from another country...

    DesertRain replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Too poor to become a nurse?

    DesertRain replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yeah....what mystiqx said! Well said by the way Mystiqx! And may I add, most hospitals have sign on bonuses that will halfway cover that approximate $10,000? Making those payments will be peanuts...

    DesertRain replied to Mom2J&B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DesertRain replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will do fine! I know it seems overwhelming but remain calm and keep focused. Have you tried making up your own practice exams so you can practice writing out the answers? I don't know how I myself...

  19. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

    DesertRain replied to lainith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think my school is the only one who doesn't let those accepted until a couple months before. I applied for Fall '07, the completion date (to finish up prereq's and other submissions/requirements) is...

    I had a c-section with a 7 lb baby and when with my second child ripped and tore delivering my 10 lb bson via vbac with no meds (he was coming too quick). The c-section recovery took weeks, if not...

  21. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    DesertRain replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    And what exactly is "grade inflation" if you are now admitting that they are equivalent in difficulty. I don't know if you are aware that UNLV, NSC and CCSN have the same curriculum. You are able to...

    DesertRain replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Sistermike, I don't know what you have against CCSN but from your posts you are definitely insinuating that UNLV is much better but why? Not everyone can afford to go to University so why put those...
