  1. Too much?

    Totally doable! Especially if you're working only part-time or have a job that allows you to focus on school. I'm taking 19 credits this semester. I don't have a lot of free time, but as long I...
  2. ADN/BSN: should I hurry to work?

    Do you mind if I ask what school...where is this dream school? I've got to know! Thanks in
  3. Need A & P!

    I totally understand your frustration. I would show up to class on the first day (each class that would fit in your schedule for that matter) (and take a drop/add permission sheet with you if your...

  5. Older Students and Loans

    Hi there, I'm 27 and have just returned to school full-time. I am working part time nannying for one little girl, but that doesn't fully support our mortgage, car payments, prior student loans, or...
  6. Fall '07 Grades!! Be Proud!!

    Not quite what I was hoping for, but it was also a very busy semester for me. We had to travel a lot (weddings, funerals, family visits). This next semester should be more calm and predictable....
  7. HESI pre-admission exam

    You need to check with your prospective school. I know that it is not waived for me. I have a BA (2002) and half of a Masters. Doesn't matter...I still have to take it. Luckily though, it's a...
  8. Hi Everyone, I am currently in Arizona where I am getting ready to begin my ADN program in Nursing. I have a prior BA from a good University, and half of a Masters in Education. I taught high school...
  9. Spring pre-req's!!

    I, too, am one of the crazies: CNA Class NUR 110/111 (5) Nutrition (3) Micro (4) Chemistry (5) and to keep me even-keeled: Pilates (2) It'll be alot, but I think I can do it. We'll

  11. Will this Schedule Work???

    Thank you all for the feedback! It really helps to know that I can do it, but that it will be hard. I'm just glad to have seen someone pull it off with a similar schedule. A question for those that...
  12. I guess I just don't understand why veteran nurses are coming to this thread in the first place. This is open to all, and I value all opinions, but it is posted in the pre-nursing forum. We all...
  13. Chem Spring 2008

    I'm taking Chem 151 (Intro for Chem Majors) in the Spring. Good thread. I'm
  14. Will this Schedule Work???

    Yeah, I've resigned myself to the fact that I am not going to have a social life when I am in school. My boyfriend is my number one priority, and he is very supportive. I make sure that no matter...
  15. Will this Schedule Work???

    Thanks for your reply. I took an intensive summer last summer and had a 14 credit Fall semester and worked 37 hours/week. I feel like I learned a lot from my work schedule this Fall. I kept my...
  16. NET exam info

    I am wondering the same thing. I'll have to check in to see what the experienced ones tell you. I have to take the HESI on Jan. 8. I took it once already, before ever stepping into a pre-req and got...
  17. Question from a Soon-to-Be Student Nurse

    By the way, where in AZ are you coming from? I moved up from Flag last year, just curious. Oh, and I forgot to ask...did you go through the programs at either NAU or CCC or elsewhere? Any opinions...
  18. Question from a Soon-to-Be Student Nurse

    That's funny! Flagstaff, it is! The plan is still a couple of years away as I am about to start Nursing School, but Portland is where we've decided we want to be. Thanks for the comments too. I...
  19. OHSU & Legacy Good Sam...

    Congratulations! You'll have to let me know how it goes. I also asked a question about moving to Portland (just previous to yours) and everyone was unresponsive. Aaah well. Perhaps you can my...
  20. Question from a Soon-to-Be Student Nurse

    Does no one have any advice for me? Did I word my question in a way that makes sense? Anything? Anything at all...I'm open...
  21. Great way to get experience for nursing students!

    I'll chime in here. Yes, many places allow the passing of meds for someone who isn't licensed. Most of these places are group homes or similar facilities. The staff undergoes a training and the...
  22. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    "My family thinks I'm nuts. My grandmother actually said to me at Thanksgiving that I'm overeducated to be a nurse. I'm trying not to let comments like that get me down about going into nursing. I...

  25. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    Thank you for your response. That is kind of what I was afraid of. It makes me so wary, although more and more people do it every year. I wonder what kind of debt load one can reasonably carry...
