  1. Please dont hate me for saying this...

    Roberta88 replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet. But maybe they were spending so much time at the station because they were charting? Who knows about the attitudes though. Maybe they were just having bad nights. Not everyone can...

  2. Rate My Professor

    Roberta88 replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW. I never heared of this website but I just used it. I was feeling pretty good the first few because most of the responses were good for them until I got to the last teacher. Every one of hers were...

  3. Online Classes

    Roberta88 replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When it comes to science and math classes I try to take those in person. Math because it will be easier to understand (at least for me) to watch someone do it. Science because there tends to be a lot...

  4. What made u realize u wanted to be a nurse?

    Roberta88 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    How do I know? For one, I started reading my mosby's lab and diagnostics book last night... 4 weeks before the class started (it's a late start class).. because it was interesting! I've read so many...

  5. Is nursing really all that bad?

    Roberta88 replied to princesasabia's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Well, I'm just a pre-nursing student. But this kind of thing has been posted before and most people responded that while some bad things do happen, they are few and far between. If seems like...

  6. Proud to be a nurse

    Roberta88 replied to Leeleesmom's topic in General Nursing

    Proud to be a nurse! okay okay, proud to be a pre-pre-nursing student. I'm so excited about it that I can't concentrate on classes normally because I'm reading this website. But they start next week....

  7. PreMed nursing

    Roberta88 replied to frustratedbummer's topic in General Nursing

    My counselor told me that he attended a seminar by the head of a few medical schools that had banded together. The main point of the seminar was to get counselors to discourage people from getting...

  8. Calling all Chemistry students and Chemistry lovers.

    Roberta88 replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mols! Mols mols mols. It might be hard and it might be easy depending on who you are. But the second you hear your teacher say this word sit up straight and start taking notes if you aren't already. I...

  9. Too Much?

    Roberta88 replied to Java Mama's topic in General Nursing

    I think as long as you are not taking another science class you should be fine. Biology can be challenging because there is a lot of new vocabulary. Government should be okay with it though. If you...

  10. The next step is going to class.. Woah

    Roberta88 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whew! Sounds exciting! I feel like I've been planning forever since I'm just now finishing my GE, but I won't be done with pre-req's until next summer. And then I have to wait to get in! So here I am...

  11. am I crazy

    Roberta88 replied to tryingtobecome's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Roberta88 replied to busybee0613's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hah! I have 2 days left and a final to finish this summer semester before even thinking about next semester (which starts on september 2nd). Only problem is that I have super fun classes next semester...

  13. Assessment Test to get in for Pre Reqs

    Roberta88 replied to korysmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats half of the fun! pre-reqs to get into pre-reqs! I kinda hate it. I started school not knowing what I wanted to do and as of this thursday I will be finished with my GE. Two years of college so...

  14. Do you get anything out of Labs?

    Roberta88 replied to B2728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The labs kill me. At least the ones in bio and chemistry did. Snore. I didn't learn a thing in the labs and it just felt like a waste of time to me. Torture is what I call

  15. An old stethoscope

    Roberta88 replied to callmekipling's topic in General Nursing

    Hey! My mom has one of those! I just saw it in her room a few days ago and asked her what on Earth it was. Wish I had an answer but she was kind of busy. Anyways, tried putting it to my chest and I...

  16. Do you really need a College Algebra pre-req for a Stats class?

    Roberta88 replied to AJL_91's topic in General Students

    It depends how much you already know. I am taking stat right now during the summer and I didn't take algebra yet at college. I did, however, take it a few years ago in high school. I think as long as...

  17. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

    Roberta88 replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work a full time job and go to school full time too. I've learned that it's best not to tell the teachers that. Almost everyone I told say that same line about hoping I'm not setting myself up for...

  18. Body Worlds

    Roberta88 replied to missingunc's topic in General Nursing

    It was really great. It was very interesting how they got all the bodies in certain positions. I have scoliosis (minor) and I walked by a spine that had it and pointed it out to my boyfriend and said...

  19. 2nd semester RN SCHOOL? how to prepare?

    Roberta88 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not yet in nursing school. I'm still working on my pre-req's. I was a B/C student but I read this book called "How to become a straight A student" by Cal Newport. It's a pretty short book but it...

  20. Managing my own apartment with BSN program, is it worth it?

    Roberta88 replied to ladyb4christ's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think that it really depends. I just moved out from my moms house a few months ago. I know it will be harder money wise, but it had a horrible studying atmosphere. 2 of my 3 sisters and my...

    Roberta88 replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

  22. BSN program

    Roberta88 posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello. I'm doing the pre-reqs to get into nursing school, but I had a friend who didn't get in three years in a row and then gave up. I don't want to do that and I have been hearing about programs...

  23. In need of good direction

    Roberta88 replied to dixiemarion's topic in General Nursing

    Being a CNA doesn't fill any pre-req needs but you do get extra "points" at some schools that will put you ahead of people without

  24. In need of good direction

    Roberta88 replied to dixiemarion's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently trying to do that too! While LPN is a good way to go, if your ultimate goal is a NP, I would start doing the pre-req's to become an RN first. (or you could do a short 2 weeks to 2 months...

    Roberta88 replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks! :yeah:I'll definitly read it. I saw a lot of members mention that they can't read books for very long because of their ADD, but I guess thats not me. I can read for days. But then again,...
