  1. Got Rejected

    JettaDP replied to GreenGlassCastle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must disagree with this statement. I think psychology will directly help you in your nursing career. Having a better knowledge of how the mind works will help you with your patients. Taking...

  2. I am so depressed

    JettaDP replied to daily_chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P online and we had labs due every week that we did at home. And we had to 8 hour Saturday labs that we had to

  3. I am so depressed

    JettaDP replied to daily_chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I and II online and I absolutely LOVED it! But I had an excellent teacher who always answered e-mails and she even had one night a week where we could chat live with her. We also had...

  4. Anatomy II before Anatomy I?

    JettaDP replied to sissy84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also think taking II first won't be a problem. A&P I ends with a body system and A&P II starts up on another body system. So you should have no problem. I would just suggest studying up...

  5. Nursing Lab Preceptor with an attitude..Please help!!

    JettaDP replied to mizzou_ivy's topic in General Students

    I think you should pay for the packet, continue borrowing from people, and then return the packet and get your money

  6. Bombing A&P 1- online

    JettaDP replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dee, websites aren't good for me either. I tend to do the same thing; I memorizing the wording of the questions but I don't actually retain the information. I took A&P online as well and it is...

  7. Have anatomy, need physio

    JettaDP replied to TheSquire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you took it in '05 it may be a good idea to take it again anyways. I know if it were me, I could probably use a refresher after being out of the class for 3

  8. Study/note taking tips

    JettaDP posted a topic in General Students

    I was wondering if anyone has some good study/note taking tips. I am starting nursing school this fall and I really want to succeed. I know that nursing school is going to be a lot harder than the...

  9. Study/note taking tips

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    Wow Daytonite! That is some great advice! You may be the reason I (hopefully) pass nursing school! Thank you very

  10. Go ASN or BSN first???

    JettaDP replied to lilworried's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The transition from RN to BSN is generally one year. Maybe 1.5 years. I live in WY and at the Univ. of Wyo., they only have a BSN program, no ASN. As part of their admissions, they require an...

  11. ok, i've made the decision to go to school. the big Q is when?

    JettaDP replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would start taking the pre-req's this fall. That way you will be a little ahead of the game if you decide not to apply to nursing school if you have a newborn. If you want to not miss the first...

  12. GPA little low

    JettaDP replied to Lastdon9680's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you will have a very hard time finding a school that will admit with a GPA that low. Your best bet is to retake the pre-req's that you did the worst in. Try taking classes in a different...

  13. Study/note taking tips

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    I agree that repetition is really good. Hopefully I can do it without confusing myself.

  14. Study/note taking tips

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Students

    I'm a hands on learner. That's why I'm a little paranoid about nursing school. I expect that I will do good in clinicals and lab but maybe not so well in the classroom. I am not a good listener...

  15. USF-SanFanciso

    JettaDP replied to SF123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my research of that school I've determined that it is a good school. But prepared to wait a couple of years to get in. Their wait list is huge. I belive this is true from many of the schools...

  16. Should I enter LPN Program???

    JettaDP replied to Kannski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Work as a CNA and get a feel for it first. At the nursing home in my community the CNA's do 99% of the bodily fluids clean-up. The LPNs and RNs rarely have to do that kind of stuff. Check into a...

  17. Free CNA Programs

    JettaDP replied to smedwards78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try your local nursing homes. Nursing homes often offer free CNA classes because they are often short handed. But they may make you work for them when you complete the course so just make sure you...

  18. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't get the loan but I can tell you what the admin. assist. at DSN told me........she said you need good credit AND you must be a home owner in order to qualify. I don't own a home so that pretty...

  19. Does blood make you feel sick?

    JettaDP replied to HartlessRedhead1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you felt sick just because he is your child. Maybe when you get around patients who are strangers you will feel different. But if seeing blood continues making you queasy you'll just have to...

  20. Will this affect my acceptance in to my nursing program?

    JettaDP replied to naide88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then I think you should be fine. If asked, just explain the condition and I'm sure they will understand. Good luck. I hope it works out for

  21. Will this affect my acceptance in to my nursing program?

    JettaDP replied to naide88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you haven't submitted your medical record yet and lied on it....... You have no idea as to whether they go off of what you say or if they look further into your medical history. What if they...

  22. Lost a friend in the process...

    JettaDP replied to RNurseAng's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree....don't let her ruin this moment for you. If she is truly so upset that she doesn't want to be your friend then she simply isn't a good person to have for a friend. I understand her wanting...

  23. Finally Accepted!!

    JettaDP replied to schoolmack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! Congratulations! I just found out I got in as well! I was beginning to think I wasn't getting into my school either. But I did. Yeah! Again, congrats and good luck!

  24. Biology major as a second option?

    JettaDP replied to Cls62011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it was me, it would depend on how many more classes I would need. If it would take me more than one year to complete the classes then I probably wouldn't. Because then you may be putting of the...

  25. I need stethoscope suggestions

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Okay everyone, I just purchased a Littmann Classic II SE for $65.00. It was more than I was intending to spend but after I looked at some comparison charts I decided that I needed a little more...
