  1. Physician Assistants questions

    tinybabynurse replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

    I very seriously considered PA and decided to go the RN route with plans to do some kind of NP/CRNA/etc. The prereq's for PA were the same as med school so I had to factor in at least another year of...

  2. Newlywed, Newborn and 2 year old, Accelerated or Traditional program?

    tinybabynurse replied to Blessed4life's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated program with 5 children too! The main issue by far is how supportive your husband is, and if he realizes that most of the time you are in school he will feel like a single...

  3. Regis University CHOICE, Lower cum GPA?

    tinybabynurse replied to IrishMama's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not in the CHOICE program, but I'm in the accelerated program at Regis. I know at least a couple of people in my class that had below a 3.0 cumulative undergrad gpa, but a 4.0 in prereq's (esp....

  4. Mom of two small children applying to Accelerated BSN/MSN program

    tinybabynurse replied to marulaida's topic in General Students

    I am in an ABSN program and I have 5 children, the youngest just turned 2. You can definitely do it if your spouse is very supportive. I have spoken to many nurses who went to NS with small children...

  5. Saunders Comprehensive Review NCLEX-RN

    tinybabynurse posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We are asked to buy this book for NS (starting 12 month ABSN program in Jan), and the most current edition is the 4th edition 2007. I can get the 3rd edition 2006 version for less than half...would...

  6. Nursing School Students...Is It Hard?

    tinybabynurse replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    I think it's wise when looking at different NS to look at their dropout rate and their NCLEX pass rate. The best schools will have very low dropout rates and very high NCLEX pass rates. What this...

  7. questions on versed usage

    tinybabynurse replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in General Nursing

    I was given versed during a TEE and it had no amnesiac effect on me whatsoever, I remembered the whole thing...every detail. I wasn't using any other medication, prescription or OTC. A friend of...

  8. What to do with kids during summer vacation

    tinybabynurse replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I would find a 14-15 yr old responsible girl to watch them. Kids that age are too young to get a real job, but they are very interested in buying clothes, going to movies and such with their friends,...

  9. chances of getting into a bsn program

    tinybabynurse replied to Med Succor's topic in Florida Nursing

    If I were you I would meet with/talk with counselors at the schools you are interested in and find out if there is anything you can do to make yourself be a more competitive applicant. For example...

  10. UCHSC Pre-reqs

    tinybabynurse replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, you definitely can take prereq's for UCHSC at the CC...tons of people do. I *think* you can also do some prereq's after applying b/c I knew a girl that took A&PII in the spring (semester...

  11. Cheap books online? Textbook website suggestions??

    tinybabynurse replied to ccac international's topic in General Students

    I have bought a few books on betterworld.com and shipping is free. They are having a sale right now, something like buy 5 books, get 15% off...buy 10 books, get 25% off, but it only applies to some...

  12. Should I take Chem, API, and Micro in same semester?

    tinybabynurse replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    I agree with NYDreamer...I did these 3 classes and got A's. I think it helped me get into the ABSN program as it was very competitive. I even subtly pointed it out in my essay. I think they may...

  13. Should I take Chem, API, and Micro in same semester?

    tinybabynurse replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    I did it last spring and yes, it was hard but like you I wanted to be able to apply to an accelerated program. If you are committed, you can definitely do it. You will have some very late nights...

  14. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    tinybabynurse replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that you didn't get accepted. Give yourself a few days at least to be sad before making any huge decisions...right now your head probably isn't going to be thinking too clearly. Just...

  15. Getting rid of student loan-Loan Forgiveness-New York

    tinybabynurse replied to jaja1234's topic in New York Nursing

    I say check with the VA...I have heard that they offer good loan forgiveness programs. They will also pay for your graduate school tuition if you decide to pursue that. There is also the federal...

  16. Nurses salary vrs teacher's salary

    tinybabynurse replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a former Elementary School teacher who is going back to school to become a nurse. The 7 hours I was with the kids was the easiest part of being a teacher...I enjoyed it most of the time, and I...

  17. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

    tinybabynurse replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Yep, PolkaDot that is the

  18. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

    tinybabynurse replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Oh that's so great for you! I took A&P I in Spring semester this past year...Bio 101 was a prereq for it and I had taken it when I got my original BS...but it had been 15 years since I had it....

  19. Having children while getting education

    tinybabynurse replied to littleoleme's topic in General Nursing

    Well, either you were mocking her plan to be a SAHM (the only way to be with your kids almost 100% of the time) or you are mocking HER because she is in her 20's and is planning to be a SAHM in the...

  20. Having children while getting education

    tinybabynurse replied to littleoleme's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this has taken an unfortunate turn. I think that mocking a future mom's idea of being a SAHM who is there everyday for her kids is just as wrong as judging another mom's decision to take her...

  21. Drive from Ft Collins to Denver?

    tinybabynurse replied to Cmunst45636's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I personally would not want to do it but for me it would depend on how many days per week I would have to do it and how much time I had left in NS. Depending on where you have to be in Denver it is...

  22. Stats courses

    tinybabynurse replied to itsinthegenes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am finishing up an online Stats class right now...I'll take the final on Monday. I too was very concerned about doing a math course online and it had been over 15 years since I took math. I need...

  23. VENT.....this really sucks

    tinybabynurse replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Zoo...I've read this thread as I would also like to work NICU and my heart just goes out to you. It is so great that you still have a positive attitude...that will get things going in the right...

  24. Lovenox injection

    tinybabynurse replied to jpedds's topic in General Nursing

    I've had to give myself lovenox and heparin shots during pregnancy so I can sympathize with your wife. The first time I was given one by a nurse and she used a 3/4" needle. It burned at the time,...

  25. Will NICU experience make me a competitive applicant?

    tinybabynurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've sort of been planning on working NICU in order to get ICU experience b/c I am interested in either pursuing NNP or CRNA. By working NICU, I could apply to either program, and after some time...
