  2. Is anyone else quitting their job one they enter the nursing program?

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

    I decided a long time ago that I will not work during nursing school. I'm finishing my prereqs right now while working full time and it's killing me. I'll take out student loans and do the best I can...

  3. I feel like I just got cold water dumped on me

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

    I am so sorry you're having a tough time! I am horrible at algebra too and am taking it this semester...the funny thing is, it's not so bad! I have an excellent teacher and I'm grasping concepts that...

    PreRN Katie replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. I just need a little encouragement, today...

    PreRN Katie replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it's overwhelming. I'm taking my prereqs now too and sometimes it feels like I'll never be done. Plus all the other stuff you have to do for NS admission like writing essays, taking NETs or...

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

    Try Purdue University's website...they have an MLA Formatting page at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/. It's always helped me with my papers! Good

  10. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Made all my flashcards for tissues & skin last night...sheesh! It's not so hard figuring out what they would look like, it's remembering what they do (protection, secretion, absorption, etc) and...

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

    Awesome, thanks so much! I figured that would be the way to go but I was psyching myself out thinking about how much info it

  12. Do I have too much on my plate?

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

    I think you'll be just fine! I work M-F 9-3:30 or 4 (depending on the day) and I'm taking College Algebra, A&P I, A&P I Lab, and a stupid soc class to finish up my CJ degree. It's hard but...

  14. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    We did tissues in our SECOND lab...it was like 15 slides! Evidently my class is warp speed too. It's hard because the lab and the lecture are like 2 different classes so I'm constantly studying for...

    PreRN Katie replied to nikkiannette's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you did great!!! Good luck to you! I'll be sending good thoughts your way

  16. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    I think I've figured out the secret to success in this class...well, besides studying at least 10ish hours a week:lol2:...make your own flashcards. There's just something about reading something and...

  17. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    I'd start studying regional/directional terms (ventral v. dorsal, anterior v. posterior, superior v. inferior, etc), body parts, body cavities, basic chemistry, and cellular terminology type stuff....

  18. How did you decide on what type of nurse you wanted to be?

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

    I'm still in the prereqs/praying that I'll get in somewhere stage, but when I (hopefully) become a nurse, I'd like to do something with moms & babies...maybe L&D, maternal/infant, or NICU....

  19. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    We are required to purchase the notes from our school bookstore. I know it seems lame but it's 250 pages + and it means I'm able to have exactly what she's going to go over and test me on right in...

  20. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Hey Crystal73! Class went pretty well last night...I was scared out of my wits (especially during lab) but I made it through with the help of a nerve pill. My prof is kind of intense but I'm choosing...

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

  22. Looking for support

    PreRN Katie replied to Katia's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly how you feel! I'm doing my prereqs right now in hopes of getting good grades, and I'm not much of a math/science person either. I think you should go for it! Like you said in your post,...

  23. I am about to give up

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

    Blkbutterfly, Don't give up! I'm in GA too and nursing programs are hellishly hard to get into around here. I loaded too much on my plate with sciences not once but twice and had to withdraw, so I...

  24. A&P 1 Spring 08

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

    Katen, I'm scared out of my mind too. Don't worry about soc though, it's super-easy. If you need help with it just let me know, I've taken more soc classes than I can count. I started looking over my...

  25. RN to BSN programs in georgia

    PreRN Katie replied to Triple A's's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Georgia State and Clayton College & State University both have RN to BSN programs as well. I'm not sure about their admissions rates but I know KSU's RN-BSN program is a lot easier to get into...
