  2. Taking the NLN-PAX Saturday...need help!

    SierraMoon replied to miche22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The closest I got to any nursing questions were a few A&P questions. I didn't take it all that long ago, either, just under a year. I really don't think there are any nursing questions on the...

    SierraMoon replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I've still got 3 weeks (two med-surge, one OR) plus a half day teaching clinical left, including this week. I'll be as happy as you are when I'm finished. What great feeling it must

  6. louisville area schools

    SierraMoon replied to girldanceteam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community colleges will be the cheapest. ECTC and I think JCC only count prereqs and coreqs (A&P, Math, Micro) for the GPA. You'll need good NLN scores. Good

  7. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    SierraMoon replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Hard to believe I'm doing my midterm tomorrow. Finally going to start real clinicals on Monday. I'm still pretty thrilled to be here, even though my sterile technique is, well, let's call it a work in...

  9. Question for everyone who started this fall

    SierraMoon replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    I got my orientation information a few weeks after I was accepted. We start clinicals in October, times were posted with the fall schedule back in the

  10. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    SierraMoon replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Week 1 is done. I'm not behind yet. I passed the first quiz. Double I'm still pretty jazzed about being a real student nurse. We got our badges today. First exam is next Friday. Got a lecture today...

  11. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    SierraMoon replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Our instructor called us little baby nurses today. I was so proud . I get to sign my name: arab_rider, SN. I kept thinking, "I'm in nursing class, learning nursing stuff!" We did thermoregulation and...

  12. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    SierraMoon replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Today, we went over our 279 page syllabus. I'm glad to have it but it was a little dry. It's extremely detailed, so no one can say they didn't know what was needed to pass. I'm looking forward to...

  14. Inexpensive Immunizations?

    SierraMoon replied to SierraMoon's topic in General Nursing

    I ended up going to UofL's travel clinic. They're really nice and about the same price as the walk-in

  15. Inexpensive Immunizations?

    SierraMoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have any ideas where I can get my immunizations done without a huge cost? My county health department doesn't offer them and it'll cost $400 through the family doctor (about twice what I...

  16. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    SierraMoon replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    So I just finished orientation and picked up my books. It was actually kind of fun. All the classes started out together and we took turns applauding each other. As one progresses through the program,...

  17. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    SierraMoon replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished orientation so I guess I really have to leave the comfort of the pre-nursing forum. See you all in the General Nursing Students

  18. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    SierraMoon replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought Nursemates, but a different style (Marcella). I have wide feet and a very high arch so I was happy to find something that fit comfortably. They seem like a nice shoe, I bet you'll like...

  19. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    SierraMoon replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Med School. I hear it's less competitive than nursing

    SierraMoon replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got a week until orientation. I didn't have to buy a lab kit (at least, not yet), I'm sort of jealous. It sounds like

  23. Any ideas? - microbiology presentation

    SierraMoon replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did mine on Rhodococcus equi. It had to be on a microorganism. Background, epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatments, prevention, done. Pick something gross if you don't want to be boring....

  24. BIO necessary for success in A&P?

    SierraMoon replied to jeanttb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Bio more than 5 years before A&P I. I think it helped but wasn't necessary. Bio is not a prereq for A&P at my school

  25. Can I get into Nursing school with a 3.47 overall GPA?

    SierraMoon replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    Maybe. It all depends on the specific program you're applying to.
