I'm sorry you had to deal with that resident! But that's so neat that you were able to witness a birth and that the family wanted you there :)

It was good- thanks for asking :) Kind of overwhelming with a lot going on. I put in a few requests for hospitals, but we won't know anything for sure until August when they have the schedule made up. There were 6 or so hospitals to choose from, so I...

The book is written by Martini. You might be able to buy a used copy somewhere. I think auditing the course sounds like a great idea! I give you a lot of credit to want to put yourself through that again

Just wanted to let you know that I asked Kirk about Simmons. Apparently he is a Pfizer scientist and will be teaching at TRCC part-time. Kirk said he's a really nice guy, very approachable :)

You absolutely can do it :) I have two children (2 and 5) and will be starting the RN nursing program in August. I was also apprehensive about the sciences courses, but I took them one at a time (took 2 years to finish my pre-reqs but I had some othe...

I would guess B.. (this is where I'll put my disclaimer that I don't officially start NS until August!)

Congratulations!! You should be really proud of yourself :) I hope you're going to do something fun to celebrate!

Glad to hear that your orientation went well! I can't wait for mine.. it's not until May 30th. I just want to know EVERYTHING! :)

So glad to read your latest post! I hope you get word soon that you're in!! :)

StPauliGirl- I'm so glad that you have some answers now. Good for you for advocating for him and pushing to get the testing done. I can relate to a lot of this thread. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, I'm starting nursing school this fall and we...

Congratulations!! :) Have fun celebrating!

I'm so jealous that some of you can wear colored scrubs! We have to wear white scrub pants.. seriously, asking women to wear white pants is just cruel. I'm going to be so self-conscious! I wish we could wear other colors..anything but white! Our tops...

Congratulations!! :)

I agree that it's important to read very carefully, more than once if necessary, to fully understand what they are asking for. I really think this is why I did so well on the exam. Be thorough. In the math section, also read carefully, but manage you...

I'm here :) I think a lot of ppl must forget to check the regional boards..

Ok.. for the fall semester, I would definitely recommend Kirk :) I know- the CT forum can be a bit slow. But hopefully it will pick up soon!

How was the orientation? Mine isn't until May 30th (TRCC).. I'll live vicariously through you I can't wait for mine! :)

I'm taking A&P now with Kirk. I've been taking it since September, actually (I in the Fall and II in the Spring). He told us this week that he was taking the summer off for the first time in a long time and I was wondering who was going to cover ...

Congratulations on making a decision and starting the program at Gateway! It sounds like that's definitely the better fit for you :)

At our school you can take time off due to a pregnancy- maybe the OP was planning that? School with a newborn would be TOUGH. It's so hard to leave them when they're so tiny. I was just talking with someone who took a year off inbetween, so she ended...

I've thought about this, too. I am starting nursing school this August and we would like to have another baby (our 3rd), but I remember how tired I was when I was pregnant. I think it would be really tough. It's going to be challenging enough to bala...

I just wanted to share with people who would understand!! I was accepted into the RN program starting this fall!! I'm so excited.. our school only has 80 seats and there were so many applicants this year that I was really expecting to be denied. I'm ...

Exactly. And I'm sure many women will decide to go elsewhere. All the hospitals around here still do VBACs (thank goodness) but I did travel 45 minutes to a different hospital so I could VBAC with a midwife and more natural birth setting with telemet...

Congratulations on making a decision, I know it must have been difficult. But now you have a plan and you can focus on that! :)

Good luck to those of you who are taking the TEAS soon. After talking with some classmates, it seemed that people had the most trouble with the math section this year. Lots of people ran out of time. I was able to finish and did fine but I also didn'...
