  1. Asing this question again...........

    Chantels1 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always love threads like this. It makes me feel so "normal"! I am 32 working on my pre-reqs and hope to apply to the nursing program after the fall of 2008!!! Yay. Our program has an average of an...

  2. Help with registering for classes

    Chantels1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has priority registration based on your sSN#. This semester I was 3rd out of 4 days, so Anatomy was full. I found a spot in Microbiolgy though. Is it OK taking Micro b4 Anatomy &...

  3. Help with registering for classes

    Chantels1 replied to Chantels1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks. I am hoping it isn't as bad as I am anticipating. Cellular respiration and glycolysis was really hard for me to grasp. Since microbiology works a lot on the cellular level, I hope it isn't...

  4. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

    Chantels1 replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to stick out this class, then decide. If you drop now you will always have the what if's....... Maybe volunteer at a local hospital and see if nursing still feels right. Either...

  5. I Need Help Really Bad!!!!!

    Chantels1 replied to **new!!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My bio instructor is like this too. Encouraging struggling students to drop... My advice is to ignore the instructor and get a tutor. Sometimes hearing something explained in a different fashion is...

  6. Lung Exams

    Chantels1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This should probably go in the Nursing student section, but I thought you all might like to see this anyway. I was just looking up pictures on the net to convince my husband to quit smoking. I came...

  7. I'm so overwhelmelmed!

    Chantels1 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the dayplanner/calendar it really helps. Also, prioritize. Make sure that you keep school a priority. Pampered chef party or studying... definitely go for the study time. Yeah, you will...

  8. Hate my Micro lab partner........3 more months of this......ugh!

    Chantels1 replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think of it as job training. We all have to learn to work with people we don't like. Fortunately you know it's only 3 years! Good luck

  9. What do you think?

    Chantels1 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    My husband is on his way back to the ER this morning. I will give you a brief report of his accident. Please note that I am not seeking professional advice. I am just curious. Anyway, Thursday he...

  10. Feel Good Campaigns by Hospitals

    Chantels1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it these things go so wrong? Could it possibly be that some employees are not happy, chose not to be happy and will complain and find fault in anything? I tend to be an optimist and I believe...

  11. Uh-oh. Tempted to change my major...

    Chantels1 replied to December716's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not check into doing a job shadow with a dental assistant. That way you can see all the duties and responsibilities and make an informed

  12. Really Ticked Off !!!! (yes I Am Shouting)

    Chantels1 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let us know what happens. I hope it wasn't a misunderstanding on your friend's part! Too bad the professor didn't answer your question so you would know. Good luck with the

  13. Waitlisted For A&p!!

    Chantels1 replied to faithful11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was waitlisted for BIO. It was closed for the longest time, but I kept checking online and finally got on the waitlist in July. I was 7th out of 7 allowed to be on the waitlist. Perserverance...

  14. I could use a Pep Talk

    Chantels1 replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coolpeach - can we trade kids for a while? I can get the 3 older kids(7, 5, & 3) in bed by 8:30, but the baby (15 months) just won't cooperate. She is attached to mommy at the hip! If I start...

  15. Anyone else waiting for "the" letter?

    Chantels1 replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :balloons:Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome. Hopefully we will hear from you in a month and a half about all the excitement of being accepted into the program!

  16. ARGHHH- new job?

    Chantels1 replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I would assume that it is all hearsay until you see it in writing, or at least a verbal offer. How else are you to know they are serious? They can't expect you to quit your secure job without some...

  17. Admissions Strictly By the Numbers

    Chantels1 replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our cc doesn't even have a system like this. Their only requirement is that you have a 2.5 or better in the science classes and have finished all the pre-req's before applying. Then you are put on...

  18. How much time do you spend

    Chantels1 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How much time do you spend studying for each class? A 3 unit class should require 3 hrs of study per week right? 4 units take 4 hrs of study not including class time right? Let me know if I am way...

  19. How much time do you spend

    Chantels1 replied to Chantels1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks everyone. You confirmed my feelings exactly. I don't think my med terminology will take too much study time. Just making flash cards, Nutrition, I am not sure of especially since it is my...

  20. Applied for a Stafford Loan

    Chantels1 replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out the link I posted earlier. You don't have to have great credit. A lot of places don't look at credit. Just you can't be in default on taxes or other federal

  21. Child Growth & Development?

    Chantels1 replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Child Growth & Development is not a required class for us, but it is reccomended, just as Med Terminology is reccommended. I am taking both as they will definitely apply to a Nursing career. Be...

  22. Applied for a Stafford Loan

    Chantels1 replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I will be eligible for a grant. My EFC is almost $10,000.... Wish they took child care into consideration when they calculated EFC's! With 4 kids I know that I will spend more on...

  23. 2 job offers for new grad....help!!

    Chantels1 replied to futurenp's topic in General Nursing

    I think Vicky has the right idea. Take the job you think you will like, but also work part time at the hospital to keep your skills going. See what they have available on a part time basis. Do...

  24. Applied for a Stafford Loan

    Chantels1 replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks again coolpeach! I probably will call the school next week after they get a chance to receive it. Once they receive it how long does it take for them to "process" it and come up with options...

  25. Voluteer???

    Chantels1 replied to hair_tie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you volunteer in the evenings? I'm a SAHM to 4 kids and there is no way I could afford child care just to work for
