  1. Preparing For The Teas

    Hotflashn replied to rayele's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rayele, go up to the right top of the page and enter "Teas" into the search bar and search Allnurses. You will come up with tons of great posts and information. I read every single post and it really...

  2. Chem 101 over the summer?

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

    Oh, I remember Mr. Guch's website! A lifesaver for sure, his site explained things much better than my instructor, for sure. I wanted him to be my instructor! Great resource. Good idea, too, to check...

  3. Anybody got accepted at Ohlone College this Fall 2008?

    Hotflashn replied to tgal-RN-to-be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats T-gal! That is great. I know it wasn't your first choice, but none of that matters when you get that acceptance letter! Things will all work out just right. I didn't apply there and am still...

  4. Strugging to decipher nursing programs in SF Bay Area

    Hotflashn replied to girlcat24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just posting about this very worry! What if I go through all this and can't even find a job - and the nursing job market is as impacted as the nursing programs? I can not and will not leave the...

  5. When you graduate what part of nursing are you going into?

    Hotflashn replied to henryswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It makes me wonder if any nursing graduate goes straight into something they had hoped on? Not relating this specifically to you or NICU, but just in general. Seems many new grads end up on med/surg...

  6. When you graduate what part of nursing are you going into?

    Hotflashn replied to henryswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will have to see how it unfolds, when I actually start nursing! I have background in a variety of medical fields, so I at least know what I think I don't want, or what I don't want to be part of in...

  7. Chem 101 over the summer?

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

    Me, too, I need more time to let things soak in and a chapter or two a day was too much. Runined my whole summer. Plus I had things going on in my life that really made it hard and with it being so...

  8. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

    Hotflashn replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to all those who just got letters Wow, they are really coming in now. Great news. Good job,

  9. Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

    Hotflashn replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coolpeach, it is so hard not to check repeatedly all day long! I think it is actually easier to wait for postal mail, sometimes. Then it is just once a day. One of the schools I applied to gives out...

  10. Chem 101 over the summer?

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

    Do you already have some recent chemistry? Personally, I wouldn't, especially if you don't need it and already have 3 classes on your plate. That is a full load for summer. If you are wanting to take...

  11. Aiming too high?

    Hotflashn replied to heymeghann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think your goal is too high, if anything, you are selling yourself short! I think once you start your CC classes, that is what programs will be looking at. Your GED shouldn't have any impact....

  12. Minor setback

    Hotflashn replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry about the loss of your sister, Redrubyslippers. It is good to hear that you have put your loss and your desire to provide tender care for those suffering to good use. You will be an...

  13. Minor setback

    Hotflashn replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry things have been so challenging. Hang in there. Not sure if it is too late to drop or if you can get any kind of academic leave or incomplete. Definitely talk to you instructor and/or...

  14. I'm In!! However, Is Alternate #14 Gonna Cut It??

    Hotflashn replied to JYCVTY's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck. Sorry you aren't in the regular acceptance. It could still happen. Remember, it isn't just that 13 people might not accept. There are lots of reasons - they might not qualify, might not get...

  15. A.D.N. or B.S.N... what do you think?

    Hotflashn replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Age question

    Hotflashn replied to Sandy_dfw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You had some good points, and I tend to agree. I do worry that I am less physically capable than I would have been 20 years ago, in terms of being able to help patients move around, etc. There is no...

  17. How mant times have you applied?

    Hotflashn replied to MedicalNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, Mattsgirl! Good for you. After 4 applications, you deserve

  18. How mant times have you applied?

    Hotflashn replied to MedicalNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is hard, Coolpeach. I have had to meet the requirements of various programs that wanted different courses. A real

  19. How mant times have you applied?

    Hotflashn replied to MedicalNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those may be the minimum requirements for admission but when making the selection for acceptance, they usually skim off the top. If that is the case, people with only the minimum requirements never...

  20. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

    Hotflashn replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh Sissy, the wait is really on for you. Are you sitting on the porch waiting for the mail? I think the wait gets harder the closer you get. It is amazing how much emotion gets poured into all of...

  21. A.D.N. or B.S.N... what do you think?

    Hotflashn replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to both types of programs and will go to whatever I get in first. Originally, I wasn't thinking about a BSN because of the extra money, time and commute. Counselors, nurse friends and my mom...

  22. How long b/w starting pre-reqs and applying to NS?

    Hotflashn replied to GaMBA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hopefully you will be able to knock out your prereqs quickly. The CC I did my prereqs at was so impacted that it took me two tries (semesters) to get into anatomy, which was a prereq for physio, so it...

  23. Human Bio hard??

    Hotflashn replied to cafemocha33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took human bio in the summer many years ago and it was interesting and not too hard. Had an excellent, well prepared, very professional instructor, so certainly that helped. It is a great primer for...

  25. Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

    Hotflashn replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah for you! Today I got a letter from one of the ADN lottery school nursing depts. I tore into it like crazy. All it said was that eligible applicants' ID numbers will be posted on some door on...
