    Lack of Confidence, I don't think I can do this!!

    NoviceRN10 replied to svno7659's topic in General Students

    Around here you cannot get a tech job until you have completed Med Surge 1. To the OP, why not practice these skills on your friends and family? That is a great way to gain some confidence before you...

    Feeling Guilty-Kids,Work&school

    NoviceRN10 replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have four kids ages 3.5, 3.5, 5.5 and 7.5. I don't feel guilty at all taking classes. I don't think my kids mind a bit being left with their dad one night a week while I'm gone 3.5 hours, or the...

    NoviceRN10 replied to deftonez188's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I havn't gotten a darn thing from the college! It really doesn't feel real yet at all. I'm knee deep in microbiology and scared to think what trauma the nursing classes will bring me :uhoh21:! I'm...

    How hard is Micro

    NoviceRN10 replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, the concepts are hard to wrap your head around if you aren't science savvy (I'm having trouble understanding what makes atoms postive or negative). I think lab is fun because you get to play...

    When should I buy a HESI prep book?

    NoviceRN10 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would buy it, glance through it and then not worry about studying until the couple week's beforehand. I didn't study till then and got a 95 on it :). I needed to relearn 6th grade math (fractions,...

    Financing school

    NoviceRN10 replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am fortunate that it's only $70 per credit hour at my school. I won't need to take out any loans. I filled out the FAFSA forms so I could apply for scholarships and was shocked when I ended up...

    Is everyone in your Microclass Pre-nursing?

    NoviceRN10 replied to 2bnursetabulous's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How hard is Micro

    NoviceRN10 replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to cry last week (first night of class), but after two lectures and lab sessions I feel a tiny bit more confident I might get a decent grade. Ask me after my first exam, though ! I am not...

    Does anyone leave feeling like they did well on the Vocab?

    NoviceRN10 replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the HESI instead of the NLN, but I think they are similar. I did really well on the vocabulary section of my test, scored 98 :). I got my scores at the end of each section and when I got that...

    Should I wait on Microbiology.......I'm a mess trying to decide

    NoviceRN10 replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started my pathogenic micro class last night; I also feel overwhelmed . I am hoping it was just a little shock and I will feel more comfortable once I figure out how to copy the prof's notes...

    Are most nursing students cruel?

    NoviceRN10 replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if I would call them mean, but I do feel that many of them act like they are in a secret society and they can't share any advice and help those of us about to embark on the same path ....

    Do You all think this is crazy??

    NoviceRN10 replied to ashtabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as you have time away from your little people to study you should be alright. My four children were aged 5 and younger when I started my pre-reqs and I survived

    NoviceRN10 replied to amybethf's topic in Michigan Nursing

    They make crocs that are leather? I looked on that site but I don't think I saw the ones you were referring to. I wish that nursing students could wear regular croc shoes. We are supposed to wear...

    Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    NoviceRN10 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    I have a girlfriend that was married to a gambling, cheating jerk and her pastor told her to run the other way too. Some men are very wise! I don't think a pastor would tell someone to ditch their...
