  1. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    All done! I kind of love summer session. It feels great to have knocked this out in eight weeks. I never would have guessed it would be so interesting. I can see how valuable this information is...

  2. Correlation Between High GPA & NCLEX Pass Rate/Nursing Care?

    SierraMoon replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Students

    There has to be a cut-off somewhere, there's just not enough

  3. Do you think 7 months is enough to prepare for the NLN or Net exam?

    SierraMoon replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, 7 months is plenty of time. You should be able to really rock it! I've not studied vocab myself, but I've heard that SAT prep flashcards and things like that can

  4. What Did Your A&P Classes Cover? Please Read/Reply!

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

    That does look very similar to my A&P I class. Endocrine and Repro were A&P II, bones were A&P I. Summer classes can be very

  5. Statistics

    SierraMoon replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm lousy at math and made a B in stats. It's more interesting to me than more theoretical math. I could actually see the point of

  8. New Pre-Nursing Student. Help with Prepping for NLN-PAX RN

    SierraMoon replied to PinkLemonaide1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Howdy, Neighbor! I live in Bullitt county, took my NLN at JCC in January (attend ECTC, though) The best way to study for the NLN is to use the review book. It has practice tests and reviews for all...

  9. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    My teacher just up and quit, 3 weeks into the semester. Nice, yeah? Oh well, I'm still doing okay. Just started two weeks of fermentation labs. I hope there's good results

  10. Inexpensive Immunizations?

    SierraMoon replied to SierraMoon's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, it looks like it'll be much closer to my budget than $400

  11. Inexpensive Immunizations?

    SierraMoon replied to SierraMoon's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea, but it's not a service provided by my community

  12. Hi Everyone - Considering Nursing, have some Q's

    SierraMoon replied to metal_m0nk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As an LPN, your advancement possibilities are not as good as for an RN. You can't be a charge nurse, you can't go into management, that kind of thing. Many LPNs work in long term care or home health....

  13. Need encouragement, advice and guidance...please

    SierraMoon replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I was looking at transferring to a CSU (moved out of state before I did), they didn't even want my old high school transcripts. It would have been based only on college level courses. I didn't...

  14. Need encouragement, advice and guidance...please

    SierraMoon replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're a transfer student with x amount of credits, they usually don't care about your high school records. Try talking with a counselor at your local community college. That's the way it works...

  15. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    This class is actually kind of fun. I love checking my cultures for growth and pouring TSA plates seems like such a sciencey thing to do. First test is tomorrow, I might not be in such a good mood...

  16. Taking A & P 1 this Fall

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

    It's not that bad. Really :). I thought it was going to be the Hardest Class in the Universe and it's just not. Don't fall behind on your reading and review daily. I carried around a realistic...

  17. Has Spencerian gotten their RN program back?

    SierraMoon replied to lil_meme19's topic in General Nursing

    Most, if not all, of the KCTCS ADN programs are accredited, not just JCC. I checked their

  18. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    We did the first 5 labs (3 were dry) and the first two chapter so far. First test is next Thursday. So far, it's been microscope and chem review. The three hour lecture is exactly as much fun as I...

  19. Microbiology - Summer 09

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

    I start June 1st, too. I bet it's going to be interesting. I know I'm going to be a handwashing fool during lab. The biohazard warnings have made an impression on me

  20. High School Grad wants to be a nurse

    SierraMoon replied to Widdiewonka's topic in General Students

    Nursing homes are probably your best bet for free training but be aware it usually comes with a work commitment to that facility. You'll get paid to go to training instead of paying for it, though, at...

  21. School that takes HESI fail student

    SierraMoon replied to kingoftheday's topic in General Students

    Every school I've seen requires you to attend a minimum number of hours at that institution before they will grant a degree. Your best best is to start calling around to admission offices and getting...

  22. Transcripts

    SierraMoon replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope anyone would be smart enough not to admit it if they did! :chuckle Seriously, even after graduation, omitting transcripts could cause your degree to be revoked if the school finds

    SierraMoon replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a national database:

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

    I'm taking Medical Microbiology. It's the class that ate summer, we meet four days a week for lab and have three hour lectures on Tuesday and Thursday. I already can't wait to be done and it doesn't...
