  1. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's certainly an option I hadn't thought of, thanks. If I do end up needing chemistry in a bit of a hurry or where the timing is off, I will definitely consider that. You all make it sound so...

  2. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that it is really sad that so many people are caught in a catch-22 situation. Can't get decent pay without education, can't afford education without decent pay. I can't afford to quit work,...

  3. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Holy moly! Is that all you actually pay? Our tuition is only $25 per credit hour, but then they tack on $117 "college fees" for a grand total of $142 per credit hour. That's another thing about that...

  4. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Funny you should say that, tothepoint. I took intro to psych plus one other course last summer! I think I may as well take this summer off. :zzzzz I have both my psych courses, in fact, I have...

  5. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I think you guys have convinced me (I was half-way there already) to drop the class. I really could do without the stress. I just found out that I got an A in micro, which finished yesterday ,...

  6. Decisions, decisions--need course advice please

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much for your reply. I am definitely close to cancelling that class. Not quite there yet, but very close! I JUST finished micro--had my final today--and it would be so terrific to think that...

  7. Chem 101 over the summer?

    Scooter321 replied to MikeInCO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mike, I wish you, me, and anyone else crazy enough to do chem 101 over the summer the best of luck. My course, also for 4 credits, is condensed into 4 weeks (late May to late June)! Am I crazy? It...

  8. what are the requirements?

    Scooter321 replied to rtray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Physical Exam

    Scooter321 replied to MissDA26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your doctor's practice have NPs or PAs? The wait for a non-urgent physical at my PCPs is also several months, but if I say I'm happy for the Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner to do it, I...

  10. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so upset and disheartened. I didn't get in to the ADN program, and I truly don't know what else I could have done to better my chances. I have 34 credits so far (all from this community college...

  11. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You guys are all wonderful! I knew I could count on you for support. Marie-SC, there's a school about an hour away from me (my next closest--I'm out in the sticks) that works on a wait list....

  12. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a really good idea Lilloman, thanks, but there is only one such accredited program in my state, according to the state's BON. It is about 90 miles away in a drive that would involve going right...

  13. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the support. If I apply again next year, I will basically be killing time until then. The only gen ed course I don't have completed already (apart from micro which I am doing right now) is...

  14. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all so much for your support. I guess the reason a 4.0 isn't good enough is that I didn't have as many courses completed as some of the other candidates, despite the fact that I only have...

  15. Surgical Nurse=Singular Curse!

    Scooter321 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing Student = Unending Trusts

  16. Decisions, decisions.

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a fantastic site this is! I've been avidly reading for a while and hope I can get some opinions to help me with my decision. I've been torn between rad tech and RN training for a while. I'm...

  17. Decisions, decisions.

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just thought I'd update you guys who were kind enough to advise me last year. I went ahead and submitted the application for the rad tech spot because I had everything ready and had worked hard to get...

  18. Animal-Assisted Therapy

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm working on my gen. ed. requirements while holding my breath to see if I've been accepted into the ADN program for this fall, and I'm doing a research paper for Human Development/Psych about...

  19. Animal-Assisted Therapy

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, CaptnGastn. I know horses are used a lot for therapy. In fact, my research shows that horses were the very first animals used this way in what they called "hippotherapy!" My in-laws back home...

  20. Animal-Assisted Therapy

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, QE2. You see things from both sides then, being a nurse AND a therapy dog owner. Too cool! :paw: I had found quite a bit about training, etc., already but not about that particular society...

  21. Animal-Assisted Therapy

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your replies. It's one of those things that you know goes on, sounds absolutely wonderful, has lots of data available, but hearing about it from those who use it is

  22. Anyone applying to Mount Wachusett CC for Fall 08?

    Scooter321 replied to ChupaFleur's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I've applied to MWCC for fall 2008. At the information session I attended about a month ago, they explained the "points" system. As the previous poster said, the sciences are weighed more heavily, and...

    On tenterhooks here too, but I won't hear until at least mid April. That's forever! Good luck to

  25. age ?

    Scooter321 replied to disneydiva21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another oldie but goodie here. I started my pre-reqs at age 49 just over a year ago. I'm still working on them but have applied to NS (an ASN program at a community college) and hope to start this...
