  1. Neutro-Phos

    [color=#007000]are you sure it's not neutra-phos (with an 'a' instead of 'o')? it's in davis' drug guide under that heading :)
  2. Money, money, money!

    I'm prior service military so I have the GI Bill which will pay for the majority of it. Until the payments kick in, I got a student loan in the mean time and then will use the GI Bill payments to pay the loan off. Thank goodness my husband makes en...
  3. Roll Call---How many start their RN this month!

    Me too! And I can't believe how quickly the date is sneaking up on us!
  4. Starting Nursing School on Aug 27th?

    I have no doubt I can handle it. I'm prior service military and my hubby is still serving. Flexibility is a must for us and is a huge part of our lifestyle. Doesn't change the fact that I like to be in the know though
  5. What's your fall schedule like?

    Monday - lecutre and lab 9-3:30 Tuesday - lecture 9-11:30 Wednesday - clinic and lab 7-5:30 Thursday - OFF Friday - 2 lectures 10:00-2:30 I'm debating about possibly taking a non-nursing course on top of the current schedule (maybe Calculus or Chem I...
  6. Starting Nursing School on Aug 27th?

    Another hopeful starting on the 27th! Orientation is on the 24th. I can totally relate to the 'secret society' comments. I've been trying to get some specific questions answered by the CON staff, but the only reply I get is that I have to wait unt...
  7. Well, I got in somewhere else!!!

    That's great news, Vicky! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed :)
  8. Mystiqx's phone finially rang

    Congratulations and knock their socks off!!!! Looking forward to hearing how it goes :)
  9. When to apply?

    If you think you can get those pre-reqs knocked out this summer and Fall, then I say... Apply! The 'you never know' comment by the previous poster is sooooo true. What's the worse that can happen? So... on the off chance you don't get accepted thi...
  10. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    Have a margarita on me girl! I'm so sorry. To have to wait 5 freaking months for disappointment... ugh. But, you're a smart, tough cookie with a great support system to boot! It sounds like Plan B is already in motion and I have no doubt you'll b...
  11. Air Force to Nursing

    I have not needed to take out loans yet. Not sure how it'll work for you, but here's how it's gone for me. First, with every new school you attend, you have to talk to the VA folks at the admin office and get set up through them... don't forget to ha...
  12. Doing the 4.0 Dance!

    Congratulations! Go you! I've also found that going back to school after being away so long somehow has made me better at it. I'm sure it's a combo of many different things, but, hey, who's complaining!?! Keep it up!
  13. Air Force to Nursing

    I understand your worry about starting a program and then having to PCS. It is a real issue. That is one of the reasons it's taken me so long to complete my pre-reqs before applying to a nursing school. And, I didn't even apply until I knew we'd be a...
  14. The challenges of Pre-nursing classes and motherhood

    While I'm sorry your son has had to struggle and deal with all that heartache and headache, that's great news that you finally have something to treat and a plan of action to take! Just think how much better this coming year is going to be! I'm hap...
  15. Air Force to Nursing

    I'm prior service AF also :) Served from 1995 to 2001. My hubby is still in, so while I'm no longer AD, I'm still knee deep in the lifestyle too. And I so understand the worries about trying to finish school and getting orders! It's taken me six year...
  16. How many credit hours a semester?

    Last semester: 16 (5 classes) This semester: 17 (5 classes) Taking the summer off this year... WOO HOO! This Fall: Start nursing school :) I know you said pre-nursing, but school doesn't stop once you hit NS so, it'll be 12 hrs of nursing courses (no...
  17. I'm in the same situation where my husband makes enough that I don't have to work myself and I absolutely would NOT start a job now before I start nursing school in the Fall if I didn't have to. I would like to pursue an externship while in nursing s...
  18. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

    Just depends on the school I think. My school does require recitation in other courses but not for general chemistry.
  19. Would you give away a semester's worth of notes???

    I personally wouldn't just give them away. I wouldn't mind loaning them out temporarily to be photocopied or whatever on a limited basis, but I could never part with them permanently. And if it's somebody who's just a user...the type that always ask...
  20. hardest/best pre-nursing course!

    Love, love, love all the science courses...specifically microbiology, chemistry I, anatomy, and physiology. I find them interesting and I really enjoy the challenge! Of those mentioned, I'd say general chemistry I has been the hardest for me concep...

  22. I want to join! I too started my own plan on Monday and so far so good! I've already lost a couple of pounds and am feeling very motivated at this point. I've got a lot of summer activities planned this year and much of it involves wearing a bathi...
  23. Nursing school interview next week!!

    My interviewers wanted to know about specific incidents in my life in which I displayed certain qualities. I was asked about 10 different such questions on top of the typical 'why nursing' and 'biggest weakness' type questions. I can't remember them ...
  24. I got in!!!!!!!

    All that communication paid off! Congratulations!
