Hi... Well I just got my acceptance letter to LMU for spring '09; and to be honest I am scared and excited!! I really wanted to know what all you currently attending or graduates of LMU thought/think about their program and what your schedules are l...

Hi all I have seen several posts from people who have used the Saunders NCLEX study guide to help get used to the exam style questions. I would love to get one but am confused, as usual :).....anyway when I look online I see that there is a saunders...

Hi all I am looking for advice or words of encouragement as my self esteem is in my toenail this morning. My husband and I have been married for ten years and have two little boys ages six and four. My husband has been unsupportive thru pre-req's w...

I will always think of the kiddos :) They didn't ask for any of this but they are my motivation as I know they deserve better than this. I have heard several people say, and I believe it, it's better to have one parent who cares than to have to liv...

OMG....thank you all sooooo much!!! I love this site and all of the support it brings. I was feeling so overwhelmed earlier but you all are right......I don't think marriage counseling would work...actually I am not even interested in staying with ...

Hi everyone.... Well I have been accepted to a nursing program that starts this January....everything seems to be all set..I have done pre-reqs, student loans approved, etc....However, I'm truly scared to death!! and now in my weakest moments I'm ha...

I don't know anything about Knoxville hospitals as far as employment but did want to wish you all the best in your job search. I lived in Knoxville for quite a while and am just starting nursing school. There are several hospitals in the area though....

I think it sounds like you have a plan I had a girl in Micro class this past semester who was taking A&P I&II plus Micro and worked. She is married and they don't have any kids yet. She made A's in all three classes. So I think you can d...

Thanks for your reply!! I can't believe you have four young children and say it's not that scary....that is truly inspirational :) My mom and husband do help some; well my mother helps out more than my husband. Part of that is his awful work sched...

Wow!! I'm so glad I quit tossing this around in my own head and decided to post about it :) you all really have great ideas!! And you are right after feeling soooo exhausted after the pre-reqs it was tough thinking about NS. After reading all of ...

Ok....you all are really making me feel better :) I really want to do well and I don't mind putting in the study time...I just get to feeling overwhelmed b/c my kids are so young......I just need to focus on what I can do to help study more efficie...

Ok...thanks both of you!! You are both right..I just need to quit freaking out b/c my study time will be limited.....you both had great advice and I appreciate it!! I will focus more on the things I have trouble with and get an NCLEX study guide an...

Oh how funny you put graduated in 08 :) I am sooooo happy for you and yes I did PM you and probably will again if that's ok. I know I do have alot of questions and I guess it is the fear of the unknown and also the fact that so many people end up dr...

RNOO7 Congratulations on graduating!!! You must be over the moon!! Are you working yet or interviewing anywhere? Well thank you for saying to sit up front I will certainly try and do that....that sounds like good advice. I like to sit towards the ...

Yeah that would be awesome!! My friend who is attending Cleveland state likes the program but always says she has to get there really early in the morning on lecture days to get a decent seat :) Take care Heather

Well....good luck good luck good luck!!! I am sure I will see you there!! I'll be the one who looks lost LOL!! Do you know how big the nursing class is? I have been curious. I have been taking pre-req's at Cleveland State and their current nursin...

I know it is exciting!!! That is great your husband sounds like he'll be a great help....between my husband and my mom I think I'll be okay too. Is the Anatomy and Physiology two separate courses at LMU? I have taken A&P I&II and am about ...

Yeah!! I'm so glad to hear from someone starting in Jan at the Blount site!! I have ordered my dosage book and it should be here the first part of next week...that is awesome you have finished the first chapter!! I had to miss the advising appt yeste...

Thanks sooo much for your reply!! I had figured it would be all of the things you said....disorganized wild bumy ride :) I figure by the time I finish the "dust bunnies" will have had complete run of my home LOL!! Do you have kids? That to me is ...

I totally agree w/all of you and personally I cannot wait til "animal testing" is a thing of the past!! Our professor for A&P I stated that the cats come from Mexico where obviously the laws are more lax on this sort of thing!! I took A&P I...

I am also an animal lover and have a huge soft spot for cats....I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't have at least one cat....currently I have two that I have had for over ten years so yes the cat dissection was tough for me also....the w...

Hi all my family and I are thinking of moving to NC and I am currently in the process of applying to nursing schools......do any of you know anything about Alamance county community college or Forsythe county tech community college? Thanks!! Heather

Thanks for replying I was just curious as to how competitive it is to get in and do they have waiting lists? I just cannot decide if I want to go ahead and go on to nursing school here or wait til we move....our home is currently up for sale so I'd ...

I am sending you big hugs.....any one those things on your plate and going to school would be tough. I have two little boys and am married and don't work and it's tough. So I know it's extra hard on you. I agree with one of the other poster's and ...

Hi all Hope this is the right forum for this......I am applying to a couple of nursing programs and had thought about applying to one online and just wanted to know how it is going with all of you doing this? is it about the same pace as the classro...
