  1. Anybody applying to NVCC Fall 09?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, I know. I just figured it was more likely to be taken care of sooner than a blank

  2. Anybody applying to NVCC Fall 09?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Good news, or at least I think...I got my checklist back today and everything was signed off except for CHM 101, which I was expecting (considering I am taking it at the moment). The letter attached...

  3. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    Praise the Lord! That is the first time I have heard this. I know this might sound stupid because there is not always a correlation between age and maturity BUT at my school the general age is not...

  4. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I stood next to a guy in my class that was wearing cologne. I wished he was wearing more HAHA. Ours are donated directly to the school. We get one every 6

  5. Flash Cards?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I didn't use any flash cards but one of our lab manuals was AWESOME! It is expensive ($80 used) but totally worth it. It breaks down every single thing that can possible be labeled in/on the...

  6. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would have loved to have been told this before our cadaver lab. I will do that when I start nursing

  7. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I do care what people think about me, and there's nothing wrong with that. However,wanting to avoid conflict, and avoid haters who accuse others of cheating is not worrying "waaayyy" too much about...

  8. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It takes a lot of people to warm up to the cadavers. The worst part for me was the smell. Whatever chemicals are used are consistent with the fetal pigs we used in class as well. My instructor said...

  9. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    Cilantrophobe replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anybody was trying to say that. There are MANY inspiring success stories here about people that work and go to school. I don't think it is fair to say that anything can't be taken care...

  10. HELP!!!! Questions....

    Cilantrophobe replied to BamaBabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got the syllabus from a girl who started this last fall and I bought the two primary books and started reading them. And I haven't even applied yet! I am just anxious to get started. Have you gotten...

  11. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    It is important to me because A. I Don't want people talking bad about me B. I don't want to be accused of cheating. Like many people here I have really good grades (still pre nursing) I don't work,...

  12. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I totally, totally, totally agree with you. But after reading so many stories about the negative effects of sharing your grades, I just don't want to get involved. And I didn't want to come right out...

  13. anyone from the university of central oklahoma?

    Cilantrophobe replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not applying to UCO but I did start out my pre-reqs at OCCC when my husband and I were living in Oklahoma City. You should try the Oklahoma forum. I am sure you will find others. It's hard to...

  14. To pass or To be the highest?

    Cilantrophobe replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    You are NOT a bad person because you wished to be up there with the top 3. Each person has their own personal standards that they set for themselves. Just because someone wants the highest grade in...

  15. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the great responses. At my school all of the grades are posted online so there won't be any handing out grades in class. That alone will relieve most of the discussion, thank God! That just...

  16. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    Cilantrophobe replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't worked since I got out of the Air Force (3 months pregnant) in April of 2007. I have only taken 2 classes per semester, every semester. I took classes online and was a SAHM up until last...

  17. Questions for NVCC nursing students

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I only have one, I just felt like starting a new thread!:typing Are the advisors in students services the same individuals who are assigned to you once you are in the nursing program? AND, are they...

  18. NOVA Courses/Teacher question

    Cilantrophobe replied to NParker's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I always hear people complaining of the accents of various instructors and that is pretty unfortunate for those students because some of the greatest teachers have thick accents. It has never been a...

  19. NVCC, pregnancy and clinicals

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    My husband and I want to try to have our second child during the summer between first and second year. I have a few questions for the NVCC students. Were any of you pregnant during school or know...

  20. ? about background check

    Cilantrophobe replied to miksyrak3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well since you said the background check looks for credit bankruptcy, no I don't think bad credit would prevent you from getting in. Many, many, many people have bad credit. That is nothing new,...

  22. Student nurse with the baby itch. Help!

    Cilantrophobe replied to linds24's topic in General Students

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Delegation

    Cilantrophobe replied to jackson145's topic in General Students

    Thank you, this answers my question. It goes without saying that techs are told who their supervisor is when they are hired, as I believe that is the case for every single person who has ever had a...

  25. To pass or To be the highest?

    Cilantrophobe replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    Same here, it is a great source of motivation. Plus, it makes me feel better about myself because when I was getting those grades, even though I knew I was capable of higher grades, they were damaging...
