  1. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

    lainith replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&PI and Micro both this spring. I also work full-time, 40 hours a week or more. It was stressful but I managed to squeak out an A in Micro and a C+ in A&PI. It was a lot of work and I...

  2. Do I have any chance of getting in?

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

    I wondered the same thing when I started taking my co-req's two years ago. I previously attended the same college I am at now and dropped out in the middle of my second year. And by dropped out I mean...

  3. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

    lainith posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm supposed to hear about getting into the program or not by the beginning or March. Who else is waiting on their acceptance letter to get into their nursing program? I am only taking a couple of...

  4. Advice about a teacher....

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

    Weight really does seem to be the last socially acceptable prejudice. I understand that this woman comes from a different culture but you have obviously made her aware of the fact that her comments...

  5. Prereq classes vs. nursing school

    lainith replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not really sure. I am getting all of my pre-req's out of the way before taking any of my "nursing" courses. I am taking Biology, Psychology, and Sociology right now. This summer I am taking...

  6. "You're a nurse...."

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

    I used to have people ask me stuff like that when I only worked in Nutrition Services at my local hospital. People love "free advice." I think the best advice was given above... if it is something...

  7. Working while in the program

    lainith replied to suzan1814's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am lucky that I live with my DBF and we have shared income. I will be working only about 16-22 hours a week but plan to sell on eBay like I am now, in Pre-RN classes, to supplement my income. It has...

  8. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    Used to live in Council Bluffs. Is this anywhere near you? One of the best places I ever lived and that's saying a lot considering how much I moved in my earlier years. :) Hope we'll both get good...

  9. Wow!! I never knew there was so much much poop involved!!

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

    I never realized how much poop was involved with health care until I became a home care aid. Wooo boy. I worked primarily with individuals with mental and physical disabilities so I may have had more...

  10. study- cram or everynight

    lainith replied to momx4's topic in General Students

    Am I the only one who does BOTH? I study and review materials every evening and then the couple of nights before a test I study hardcore. I have a hard time finding the right method of studying for...

  11. I gotta vent!

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

    Oh boy. I feel for you! Nursing school is notoriously tough, though! You will hear it not only from everyone who is a nurse, everyone who has been through nursing school, everyone who has flunked out...

  12. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    Community College, Eastern

  13. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    I just got wind that our program takes 40 people in the fall. I am a little worried about my chances of getting in. Also realized I do not have a record of my immunizations and cannot seem to find...

  14. Being called into work on your days off

    lainith replied to happymedium's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet but I have this same problem at my regular job. I watch my Caller ID and listen to my messages. I call THEM back and if they want me to work, and I can't or don't want to, I just...

  15. FAFSA- before or after acceptance?

    lainith replied to kela1100's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just got an email from FAFSA to fill mine out so I did it yesterday. You need to have filed or figured your taxes for last year before you fill it out, though. Or at least I think you need your W2s...

  16. balance b/w home life and school

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

    I would love to know the answer. I am PreN and only taking 10 credit hours, work part time. I just do what I can when I can. Laundry comes first and everything else has to wait til I have time. My DBF...

  17. Too poor to become a nurse?

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

    Have you thought of financial aid? With two kids, you likely would qualify for SOMETHING. Scholarships are something else you DEFINITELY need to look into! Student loans suck but sometimes there just...

  18. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    It's kinda weird. My school doesn't have an entrance exam or anything. You have to have a C average in all of the classes you have taken that are part of the ADN program. They base admittance on that...

  19. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    Good luck to you too! What is the NET test? Is that like COMPASS? I got on the ACT website and studied for mine because I had to take the math portion of the test and it has been a long time since I...

  20. COMPASS anyone?

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

    I took the Math COMPASS test and it was super easy... because I studied by researching online and doing all of the practice
