  1. Online Classes

    Ladypie replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken 6 online classes, and we had to sign in and answer/respond to discussions online. (even for math!) It was quantity and quality of your answers that got you full credit. The professors can...

  2. Indecisive about which path to choose

    Ladypie replied to Healer_at_Heart18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not totally clear on your situation. Have you already taken the prereqs, but just can't access them because of the debt? You also said your gpa is low--would it not be high enough to be accepted...

  3. classes!

    Ladypie replied to tryingtobecome's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 3 kids (9,5,3) and work 20 hours a week in the evenings/weekends after my husband gets home. I am home during the day with the kids. In the spring I took 2 prereq classes. This summer I took 4...

  4. Did you make an A in A&P? Help me finish mine too?

    Ladypie replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you are already doing a great job, having maintained an A so far. You are obviously capable, but I understand your fears of slipping into a B. The instructor sounds unhelpful. Is there...

  5. Scared

    Ladypie replied to Snowii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely understand you. I was a nursing major at your age, but changed majors out of the fear that I would kill someone. I had no self-confidence. I am now going back at age 37, and I have a lot...

  6. What pre-req classes did you start out with and how many?

    Ladypie replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you work? Have you ever taken college courses before? It really depends on what responsibilities you have, and what your motivation level is. If you have never taken a college course before, I...

  7. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    Ladypie replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where are you applying? Frederick Community College, Maryland What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? 3.55/21 points out of 21 possible When is your schools deadline? Sept 15 When...

  8. Ugh- online class

    Ladypie replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that wasn't very smart of them to email you at the school address! Did you let them know so they can set it up differently in the future? I haven't had issues with not being able to log in at a...

  9. Lots of pre-req questions!

    Ladypie replied to kzgraham07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You made a relly good plan. It is a good idea to balance the classes like that so that you take a harder one with an easier one. It is also good to get as much as possible done before you get into the...

  10. Should I retake Eng 102?

    Ladypie replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was the attendance policy in the syllabus? If so, then I think you should have gone to the professor ahead of time to explain the situation. They can see your work and the work in your other classes...

  11. Any Advice?

    Ladypie replied to kerkins08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure you cannot retake classes in which you got Bs? I would check with multiple schools about their policies for retaking classes. Each school will be different. You may have to focus on a...

  12. Should I or should I not apply?

    Ladypie replied to mochabean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely make a note that the previous class was canceled. Seems cruel to hold that against you- they should be able to look in the records to see that you registered for it. Also check if...

  13. Tips on surviving nursing school... help!

    Ladypie replied to AggieQT's topic in General Students

    I agree with the advice to treat yourself often. I am a big believer in this. I am currently taking 4 summer classes. When they are over, I am going away with my mom for a few days. We are taking my...

  14. Not sure where to begin?

    Ladypie replied to Soldierswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you need to do those prereqs online. Evening classes are a possibility, too. With a 5 month old, you will have lots of chances to get online during the day to check in with your classes....

  15. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    Ladypie replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post made me smile. I am 37 and will be 40 when I am a nurse. I feel as young as ever. My confidence and experience will only help me as a student. I believe one of the keys to a long happy life...

  16. A&P Online... ?

    Ladypie replied to vwde's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a decade older than you and am amazed that A&P can even be done online. I have not done it, but I wouldn't hesitate. If NOVCC offers it, I assume they would accept it, but I would check...

  17. School + Work + Mom = Goin Nuts?

    Ladypie replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally sympathize. What are your opinions on CIO? (crying it out) I would first concentrate on the sleeping pattern of your daughter. My 3 kids all woke up throughout the night that first year...

  18. This summer fell apart... Now what?

    Ladypie replied to Mommyto2and2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a husband in the picture so you can take a night class? I have 3 kids as well and I take evening or online classes. (Right now I am taking 4 online classes.) I know the sciences are hard to...

  19. Standard Time Limit for Science Classes?

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

    My school actually has NO time limit. I thought this was great, since my classes are over 15 years old, and I wasn't looking forward to retaking Micro very much. Turns out I am retaking other prereqs...

  20. Trouble getting Financial Aid for Pre-reqs

    Ladypie replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with other posters- sometimes we have to make decisions that we aren't in love with. My husband and I decided that if it came down to it, we would take an equity loan out on our house to pay...

  21. I need a hug...

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

    I am sorry for your stresses. Please see if you can find a class online. I was shocked to find Micro and A+P classes online- didn't seem like these would work well online, but I guess they make them...

  22. Nursing school and working full time

    Ladypie replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's your personal situation? I see you are male- do you have a family? Mortgage? Why do you need to work full time? I am a female going back for a second career for when my kids are all in school....

  23. Anybody else get a very sweet rejection letter?

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

    That is very nice. My school uses a form letter. It is straight forward and polite but I wouldn't call it particularly sweet. I was actually expecting to get in this last year because my gpa was...

  24. What courses if any are you taking this summer?

    Ladypie replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have registered for 4 summer classes: Eng 101, gen Math, Career Communications and Intro to Film. (an art elective) I am retaking prereqs in order to boost my gpa. I took these classes 15+ years ago...

  25. Is anyone attended or considered attending............ SRMC?

    Ladypie replied to linda215's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't know about their online program, but it looks good. My mom attended that school back in the late 80s. It was a tough program then. She was already over 50 and didn't care that it was a diploma...
