  1. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    Cilantrophobe replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ktothek, I am living in Fairfax, about 20 minutes south of you. Don't listen to those people, a 90 is great. I got a 92 but we only did, reading, vocab, math, and grammer. I too have encountered some...

  2. African Americans in Oregon

    Cilantrophobe replied to Codeda's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I know what you mean. I remember back in I think 97, there was an ice storm, it was HORRIBLE. I feel for the people around the country experiencing that right not. I personally feel that PDXs weather...

  3. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    Cilantrophobe replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also have all my eggs in one basket. I try not to worry about it though because for one thing I have a 4.0, AND I will have taken all of the pre-reqs and supporting courses once I have started the...

  4. NVCC, pregnancy and clinicals

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

  5. NVCC, pregnancy and clinicals

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, we kind of already have our mind made up. The thing is if we don't get pregnant during a very specific time frame we will put things off until a better time. I don't work so I certainly have...

  7. How do you stay motivated

    Cilantrophobe replied to trice77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is it during the semester that brings you down? I can't imagine NOT being motivated. Exercise can boost your mood. I also recommend mapping out your plan semester by semester through graduation....

  8. About the Net exam

    Cilantrophobe replied to Love840207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. African Americans in Oregon

    Cilantrophobe replied to Codeda's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I completely agree. I was born and raised in Portland Oregon and didn't leave until I was 20 years old, for the Air Force. The military was my first ever experience with racism. I am white but during...

  11. Are there any schools without a WAITING LIST for RN?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Clueless757's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Inova at Fairfax for new grads?

    Cilantrophobe replied to zram44's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just curious if you found out anything. I am also curious how Nursing students prepare to apply and when they apply. I have seen that they do a summer internship program but not everyone wants to do...

  14. Buying old editions of books?

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Is it safe practice to buy the second to newest version of the same book? I have never done it before but as you can imagine the price difference is HUGE. Case in point Fundamentals of Nursing...

  15. ?'s about NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to Mom2Cassidy's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I think this is great advice for those of us waiting to apply and eventually get into the program but people like me have no idea how to study information such as "fluid and electrolytes and lab...

  16. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Flames9_RN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What kind of homework do you have in the nursing program? And no, I am not talking about the supporting courses, that won't apply to me. A few of my prerequisite friends have "friends in the NVCC...

  17. how could I be so stupid?

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

  18. Math placement test at nvcc

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well the good news is that you have plenty of time to study and try for it again, right? None of the nursing program applications are due for many months from now. I am sure you can score higher. Go...

  19. Not sure where to start

    Cilantrophobe replied to tonyg128's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I too have recently gotten out of the military. It was hard and scary but I have always wanted to do something in the medical field and never imagined myself doing construction in the military for the...

  20. Discouraged.....

    Cilantrophobe replied to MrsTLC's topic in Virginia Nursing

    what makes you think you won't be able to get into the classes that you need to take? Registration for spring just started for us. GMU can't be far

  21. Math placement test at nvcc

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    How long did it take you to finish the test? That was my only surprise. I was in there for an entire 2 hours. The test just kept going and going. I did not study before at all and I wish I had. I...

  22. how could I be so stupid?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I decided to just go with what is happening. I really wouldn't mind being in the traditional program. What classes do you guys take over summer break? I noticed there are classes like NUR 135 (drug...

  23. how could I be so stupid?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well I checked and there was a class but the ELI counselor said it is too late to add the class. She did say that they may add to the spring schedule so I will keep my eyes pealed for that but if not...

  24. how could I be so stupid?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah I had the checklist, and looked over my stuff over and over but my mental set saw chemistry on my transcripts and it just wasn't there. I already said that I take full responsibility for this but...

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing
