  1. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't say never, but his problem was that he was not motivated to go because he didn't think he needed it. He doesn't have a learning disability; he's just very lazy about school, always has...

  2. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is pretty competitive and she's very smart, but I'm sort of glad she didn't get in. I wouldn't encourage anyone to go to law school; there are too many lawyers and not enough work for them to do...

  3. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't remember where I saw it,

  4. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He's 24, his grades in high school weren't good, he never took the SAT, and he's learning the family business; I doubt he'll ever go to college. I hope he does, though. Luckily his little sister was...

  5. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow...that is...intense. My GPA was never that bad; I started my second year with a 4.0 that was dragged through the floor when I got depressed and had a nervous breakdown my junior year. I limped...

  6. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He did...but his parents basically forced him to. They...eh...basically threatened to take away his car if he didn't. He disappointed me; he's not dumb, he just didn't see the point of going to...

  7. Need to Vent...Grrrrr!!!

    There's definitely no place like home. Have you visited any of the German settlements near San Antonio? I doubt many people there speak German anymore, but it might be kind of

    Excuse

  9. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know, that's why it's probably the only program I'll bother applying

  10. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, I'm not getting treatment because I'm not actually depressed. I only get this way when I think about school. If I didn't have to worry about changing careers, I'd be fine. It's not like I think...

  11. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    My GPA isn't a 2.5, that was just an example. If I got As on all the pre-reqs it would not be enough; I have too many hours of credit for a handful of classes to move my GPA. Even if I could get...

  12. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do appreciate it, but I feel that I'm being attacked for not being a ray of sunshine when I feel I'm simply being realistic. It's also embarrassing to have to explain to people over and over why a...

    I never said I

  14. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you can only test out of one how did you test out of Comp I and Comp II? Heh, judging by the reaction I've gotten that's sort of obvious. I think people here have already gotten it into their...

  15. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think that's sort of oversimplifying it, personally. That isn't all; a lot of it is luck, too, and family support. To the poster who said look into TWU; I don't think that will be an option for me...

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks. I don't think a direct-entry MSN program is on the cards for me. Basically the message I'm getting from these programs' requirements is that if you don't have the GPA, you should take a hike....

  17. Need to Vent...Grrrrr!!!

    lady_db_programmer replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah...well, I can understand that; I knew a lot of South American students at UT who took the CLEP test in Spanish to knock out their foreign language requirements. I tested out of 19 hours of French...

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Heh, thanks; at least you're not scolding

  19. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't consider it defeatist, I consider it realistic. Sunshine doesn't come out of my rear end, and I see the glass half-empty. That's just the way I am. I think it's a little early for people to be...

  20. Need to Vent...Grrrrr!!!

    lady_db_programmer replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll have to ask my husband about that...he's English. HAHAHAHAHA did you really? I've heard stories about students from the UK and Australia having to take TOEFL exams but I can't believe that...

    lady_db_programmer replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what plum pudding tastes like, I've never seen it. I do know what it feels like to have your education discounted and stomped on by people who don't understand what your country's...

    Determination and a positive attitude aren't

  23. Need to Vent...Grrrrr!!!

    lady_db_programmer replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not just you and it's not just the USA. I've run into academic prejudice here in the UK. The fact that I have a BA doesn't seem to mean anything to some people because I don't have GCSEs or...

  24. What is the best way to learn Spanish?

    lady_db_programmer replied to tfm2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They advertise Rosetta Stone on TV here in the UK; is it any good? They never say how much it costs, so I fear it's expensive. I can speak Spanish but I'm guessing there are other immigrant...

  25. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I tested out of both semesters of English. For my degree you did not have to take psych, and I never took college algebra; I started at a higher level than that in mathematics but I only took one math...
