  1. Wiping Butt...

    DesertRain replied to Chicagoan's topic in General Nursing

    In your defense (as I know you will probably get some harsh remarks with this question) I would say that you have a valid question. The reason I say that is because you said you were "thinking about...

  2. How am I doing? What should I do?

    DesertRain replied to nancy86girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely!

  3. How am I doing? What should I do?

    DesertRain replied to nancy86girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes I wish there was a process that we could go through to eliminate those ugly grades from our transcripts. Kind of like a court hearing where you would sit in front of the dean with an advisor...

  4. What's your schedule like next semester?

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

    Yay, your baby girl and I share the same birthday! It's rare so I had to share

  5. Anybody ever take A&P 1&2 TOGETHER?

    DesertRain replied to SpiceChick01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it seems as though it is a prereq but it probably is not. My school makes it seem like you need to take 1 before 2 but I have spoken to a few people at my CC that have actually taken 1 & 2...

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

    Yay! Count me in! My first day of A&P II lab we have a quiz on the ANS! Isn't that insane? We left off at the endocrine system so thats where we'll be starting in lecture. I can't stop obsessing...

  7. school supplies needed for cna course

    DesertRain replied to dukester's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes! I'd like to know as well....LOL, I am a supply junkie too and since I was a child just the smell of school supplies made me euphoric--I know I know it makes me sound like such a geek hehe...but I...

  8. CNA and prereqs at the same time?

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

  9. CNA while finishing prereq's...?

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

    That's what I have heard from so many people--that the interaction was much more comfortable upon entering nursing school. I actually know someone who failed her first semester of the ADN program and...

  10. CNA while finishing prereq's...?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so next semester will hopefully be my last semester before nursing school. I have completed all my prereq's and because my CC goes by point system I wouldn't have been admitted for spring so I...

  11. What's your schedule like next semester?

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

  13. Baby Steps to a goal of becoming a Nurse Midwife?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Nursing Career

    Unfortunately I can't go overseas you're right about that but that does sound like something anyone else without kids should think about as it would definately be some experience! I am definately...

  14. Baby Steps to a goal of becoming a Nurse Midwife?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Nursing Career

    This was incredible advice! Thank you so much. A few of the things you had said were things that I had journeyed my thoughts into but some of the other stuff was brand new to me and not only gave me...

  15. Binder or notebooks?

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

    The copying would definately cost alot at kinko's. It even gets pricey at the DIY copiers at school after the 47th page of copying hehe. I'm not sure if any of you guys have Fry's Electronics around...

  16. Domestic Violence

    DesertRain posted a topic in Nursing Career

    What area of nursing has the most interaction with victims of domestic

  17. What can I expect at my first clinical?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am registered for the CNA program while I wait to get into the ADN at my CC. I do have an orientation before the semester starts but I am just curious to hear from those of you who have been through...

  18. CNA while finishing prereq's...?

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

    I have started exploring this in the CNA thread under the nursing student forums. Great info

  19. career guilt

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

    I think just a few threads under this will be one titled "what are you sacrificing." and "delaying children until after.." If you go through the posts you will find many others that feel similar to...

    So glad to hear, sounds like everything is right on track. I hope you all have a wonderful

  22. Binder or notebooks?

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

    I like the fat notebooks that have dividers for different subjects so that I only have to tote one notebook around. Then what I do is go home and type all my notes out, hole punch them and put them in...

  23. What are you sacrificing to go nursing school?

    DesertRain replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I quit my job. Last year my grades were suffering, this time my wallet's suffering. I know that it will be all worth it in the end. Other than that I am sacrificing time with my children and the money...

  24. What's your schedule like next semester?

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

    Wow, 2 days of labs--you're right that's different! I would expect that it might be better that way because I found that having them once a week I would somewhat forget the previous lab by the time...

  25. What's your schedule like next semester?

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

    Seriously though...me neither. I wasn't sure about taking my sociology class online but when I realized that I had a few hours in between my communications class and my A&P class I realized if I...
