  1. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

    EGKB replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you're 40, you probably have more working years ahead of you than you do behind you... I say GO FOR IT!!! You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain in terms of career options as you get older....

  2. HELP!! I need guidance I saw someone cheating

    EGKB replied to Brie80's topic in General Students

    You could put an anonymous note in your teacher's mailbox that says "make sure to keep an eye on so-and-so when we're grading our next test." Then you can feel better knowing that you've brought the...

  3. How would you handle this? (depression)

    EGKB replied to markuskristian's topic in General Nursing

    Could it be possible that, instead of "consoling", the op meant to use the word, "counseling" or "consulting"? Since there seems to be a grammatical problem with the sentence, it may be a question of...

    EGKB posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello out there - Has anyone out there been accepted to, enrolled in, or graduated from the accelerated BSN program at Cleveland State University? If so, I have two questions for you! 1) What were...

  5. brand new, solid college graduate - massively confused as to nursing field

    EGKB replied to oceansouljewels's topic in California Nursing

    From one second-career nurse-wannabe to another, hello! Some of your questions have been already answered, but here's my two cents! From the academic background you've described, it doesn't seem like...

  6. Just took TEAS exam

    EGKB replied to intuition's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FYI for anyone who is worried about the chemistry section of the test: it is very general; I almost killed myself completing my chemistry pre-reqs but got 100% on that section on the TEAS... If you...

  8. Studying for the TEAS

    EGKB replied to anchormanlover08's topic in General Nursing

    Follow this link and do the practice tests (no charge!!!!). I did each of them at least once, just to make sure I had the background info (especially for the math & grammar sections). I found the...

  9. How far in advance will/did you know you were accepted?

    EGKB replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my acceptance for an accelerated BSN program beginning January 2008.

  10. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    EGKB replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    YOU hit the nail on the head, motorcycle mama!!!!! The following link calculates how much you pay in interest - and how long it will take you to pay off your credit card - if you make minimum...

  11. Hypnobirthing?

    EGKB replied to Christi321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello there - I am not any kind of a nurse yet, but as a newer mom who read every available resource on natural childbirth, and whose childbirth classes supported medication-free births and meditation...

  12. TEAS help!

    EGKB replied to erin1205's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Earlier this summer, before I took the TEAS test, I used the link suggested by txmommyof3 above. It had been 15+ years since I had taken math, chemistry and physical science, and the individual skill...

  13. College and Accelerated BSNs

    EGKB replied to cserrah's topic in Nursing Career

    Something to think about - if you are paying for school on your own, or with loans, once you get your initial bachelor's degree, your financial aid options decline significantly!!! I know I never...

  14. How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    EGKB replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been in situations where my lab partners have not wanted to do any work, or just wanted to watch me do everything. Sometimes it was because they were afraid of screwing up, sometimes they were...

  15. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am in the process of taking the prerequisites for an accelerated BSN program. I have done very well (4.0) in A&P, Micro, Psych and all the other miscellaneous prerequisites, but now I am taking...

  16. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone, myself included, is denying the need to understand biochemistry (which we are taught in biology)!!!! I was actually the one who explained the gas exchange process, over and over...

  17. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    I worked very hard for my ADN... and I took general chemistry and biochemistry, as well as microbiology. It was required coursework... and it helped me very much when I entered the nursing program....

  18. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    quote from daytonite: "however, learning dimensional analysis is going to be immensely helpful to you when you have to do drug calculation problems in nursing school. look at some of the examples of...

  19. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    I do already have a bachelor's degree and I was one class and a thesis away from a master's degree in management when I decided I no longer wanted to work in corporate finance. I know all about taking...

  20. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, you are right!!!!! Apologies to all ADNs who had to take Chemistry!!!! It is not required at our other local cc either!

  21. How important is Chemistry, really?

    Sincere apology!!!!! It's not required at for the CC program where I'm doing these

  22. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much to everyone for your replies and support. I am glad that you've basically confirmed what I had hoped was true - that the stuff I'm actually going to use on the job is the type of...

  23. How important is Chemistry, really?

    EGKB replied to EGKB's topic in General Nursing

    It is so funny... from what I understand, the only chemistry I am going to need to concern myself with once I'm a nurse is the stuff I've already learned in A&P and Micro. I guess Chemistry is...

  24. 2 lab sciences in 1 semester

    EGKB replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry, Micro isn't too bad. It's a lot of information, especially for a shorter summer class, but as long as you keep up with it you will do just fine. At least it's not boring - in my five week...

  25. 2 lab sciences in 1 semester

    EGKB replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you're a conscientious student and don't fall behind, you'll do fine. I'm taking 2 lab courses this summer, at the same time (4-credit micro w/lab is 5 wks, 5-credit Chemistry w/lab is 8...
