    Dottie78 replied to pe5322's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to hear you're frustrated, but like everyone else said, you knew you would be penalized for not showing up to class, why didn't you make an effort to show up? Also, just so you know for the...

    Dottie78 replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you need to wait until your husband ok's it for you to start school?? Have you thought about doing online classes? I took some online classes, and it was so...

  4. Am I kidding myself?

    Dottie78 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PreRNKatie, please don't be discouraged. It looks like your grades for the courses that pertain to the nursing program, like A&P are great. As for the C's, I don't think they'll cause a...

    Dottie78 replied to niko1999 RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be attending a nursing school that offers a diploma (for RN), but I heard they will be changing it sometime in the future to an ADN program. (Baptist School of Health Professions in San Antonio,...

    Dottie78 replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. How do u go to nursing if you have to work full time?

    Dottie78 replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on what you can handle, and if you have family that can support you. It also depends on how bad you want it. There are some nursing schools that offer evening/weekend programs, but a...

  9. Pre-Nursing (Maybe???)

    Dottie78 replied to Dreamer74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I forgot to mention, about where to start, look online to see what nursing programs are offered in your area. What schools are there, and decide on what program would work best for you. There are ADN,...

  10. Pre-Nursing (Maybe???)

    Dottie78 replied to Dreamer74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this is really what you want to do, and have thought it through completely, and still want to become a nurse, then do it! Don't let fear stop you from acheiving your goals. It will be a whole...

  11. Question Re: Starting Chemistry

    Dottie78 replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't stress out about it. I just finished my Chem class last night, and I think I'll be finishing with an A, and math is also my worst subject! The math part isn't bad at all; it's mostly...

    Dottie78 replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't neccesarly hate my job, but there are things about it that suck, and have made me want to go into nursing. I currently work as a secretary, and have been in the office environment for about 10...

    Dottie78 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I can't say I know what its like, but I do know what its like to have a family and a job. To the OP, this is a nice plan, but keep in mind that things don't always go as...

  14. Started...but it's been difficult

    Dottie78 replied to jordiemom06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reading the OP and a lot of the replies on here, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's doing things backwards! I got married young and have two children but three years ago, decided I want to...

  15. Am I crazy to do this?

    Dottie78 replied to picturestoburn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it depends on your work/home life too. You did not specify if you're working or have a family. Needless to say, the science courses are very demanding and time consuming, plus, you have to...

  16. I'm a horrible employee

    Dottie78 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Emma, (hugs) I really feel for you, and I'm very sorry to hear you're going through all this. Remember, we're all here on this forum to give support and advice, so you did the right thing to vent on...

  17. How do you wear your scrubs?

    Dottie78 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are so lucky, and I can't wait to become one! I won't care what kind or color scrubs I have to wear, as long as I'm presentable and comfy! I've been working in an office for almost 10 years,...

    Dottie78 replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. To Quit or Not to Quit...

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really need some advice. I'm almost ready for nursing school, but the thing holding me back is that my husband is also in school, and expects to graduate in either May or Aug. We both currently work...

  20. To Quit or Not to Quit...

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you guys for the advice and comments. Although applying for a private loan sounds tempting, the thought of having to pay it back in the end doesn't sound so great, especially since we already...

  21. Denied......

    Dottie78 replied to Cls62011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get discouraged. The only difference between an ADN or diploma RN and a BSN RN is there is more prerequisites involved with BSN, but the pay isn't different (unless you're a nurse manager)....

  22. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    Dottie78 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to be long, but I'll try to make it as short as possible. When I was young, I too played with a doctor's kit, and always played doctor with my parents, especially when my mom was sick....

  25. Microbio & A&PII

    Dottie78 replied to MissRNstudent10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, yes, I agree with some of the replies that you should take A&P first before taking Micro. I did the opposite; took Micro first, then A&P, and it was difficult. Both classes are both...
