  1. A dilemma! Opinions sorely needed

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

    I guess it just depends on how bad you need the money. If you can survive with a huge pay cut, I would go for it. You'll make more money as an RN rather than an LPN. Not to mention, you will...

  2. Exercise/study

    JettaDP replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, obese nurses have nothing to do with your post. Anywho..... I don't know of any programs you can download but why don't you try recording your lectures and then converting it into a...

  3. Western Wyoming Community College

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that as well. But I do know a couple of girls from Star Valley that got into the program last year without having any community ties or ties to the faculty. But yes, I've heard that it...

  4. How to get good grades in nursing school?

    JettaDP replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I live in Wyoming so an expensive apartment here is probably $900 a month or so. But low income housing generally works the same almost everywhere. Your rent is usually 30% of your income. But I...

  5. When you graduate what part of nursing are you going into?

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

    I am going to spend a year or so in Med/Surg and then I want to go into an ICU or ER. I'm an adrenalin junkie. I like do or die moments. I like the "high" I get from it. My sister is a runner and...

  6. How to get good grades in nursing school?

    JettaDP replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why do you have to work full-time? The reason I ask is because I am a single parent living on my own and I don't work. All I do is study, go to class, study, study, and study some more. Then I pick...

  7. Nursing: I'm just not that into it!

    JettaDP replied to carebear1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about psychiatric nursing? You may have to deal with body fluids on occassion but not near as much as a clinical

  8. Does anyone think this class schedule is too hard?

    JettaDP replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at it this way, if you can successfully pull off both classes in one semester, then you will do fine in the nursing program itself. Sociology and a computer class will be easy. Taking two...

  9. what is A&P lab online like. I got a C- this semester and I need a B

    JettaDP replied to cathleenrmermaid7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you guys mean. Fortunately my A&P classes went well but I took a phlebotomy that I ended up with a B in. Which isn't a bad grade but the class was very difficult because there were...

  10. Western Wyoming Community College

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    They still have a high amount of applicants. They do have more spots open though. I think the class size is 28 now. I really like the school so far. I've taken all of my pre- and core- classes...

  11. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    JettaDP replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Does anyone have any thoughts they can offer on this school? Do you know if they are reputable? They don't have a waitlist but the school is more competitive. I was told I would have a good...

  12. what is A&P lab online like. I got a C- this semester and I need a B

    JettaDP replied to cathleenrmermaid7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both A&P 1 and 2 online. I loved it. I really like online classes because I do better reading a book and teaching myself. I don't do so well in lectures. So if you're not a good...

  13. How long did you wait?

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Where is it? I didn't see it on the list of Maricopa

  14. How many students does your school accept?

    JettaDP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied for the nursing program at my college in Wyoming. Since Wyoming is a small populated state, you can probably imagine the class sizes here. Anywho, my school accepts 28 students each year....

  15. anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 in summer

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

    I took both classes condensed last year. I dropped them because it was too hard at such a fast pace. I am very glad I dropped them because I ended up taking them as full semester classes and I got...

  16. Wait list vs. no wait list

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

    Yeah expensive tuition sure is expensive but I would like to get my career started. I have a long term goal of getting my Masters and I don't want to have to put it off more than I have

  17. Nursing App Reference Letters

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

    If you are certain that you are going to enter a nursing program at some point, I would still to get your references from the Biology department. They can't fire you for asking for a reference. They...

  18. Suggestions for Jobs in meantime

    JettaDP replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could be a CNA. Or you could be a phlebotomist. I took phelbotomy classes this semester and I can't wait to get my certification so I can work at the hospital. Or you could take EMT classes....

  19. How can you take care of yourself?

    JettaDP replied to Prtar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you thought about working on campus? At my school, there is a pool and I work the front desk. Basically all I do is check their student id's or take their $2.00 if their not students. I work...

  20. Will medical terminologly help with A&P

    JettaDP replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Medical terminology was not useful in my A&P classes but I am glad I took it because it will be extremely useful for the nursing program. I definitely think it is a good idea for eveyone to take...

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

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

    I am a single mother to a 3 year old. We live in an apartment by ourselves. Her dad lives out of state. I attend college full-time. I get through it because my parents live close so they can sit...

  24. I am so bummed out. GPA makes me sad.

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

    Your GPA isn't that bad. An overall of 3.4 is great. I think you just need to consider more schools. For all the schools that won't accept you with your GPA, there will be others that will. Also,...

  25. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I saw that they are expensive. Paying extra will be worth it if I don't have to wait more years to get accepted somewhere
