   SoCalHeart replied to trina820's topic in Pre-Nursing

3. Online Banking/cell phones etc...in Iraq?

   SoCalHeart replied to Gruffy's topic in Government

   You can also set up allotments to pay your monthly bills while you are deployed, then you don't have to worry about getting online every time a due date is coming up on a bill. Check with your bank, or once you are AD I think you can go through your ...

4. Inexpensive Textbooks?

   SoCalHeart replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I second checking with Half.com or Amazon. I buy my texts from there and have saved soooo much over the school bookstore. I got my current Phys book from Half for $17 plus shipping in great condition with NO highlighting/writing while most my classma...

   SoCalHeart replied to momofdandm's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I am not yet a nurse, but I have a suggestion, although I am in a bit of a bad mood, but here goes! If they think you're lazy, educate them! Do you do the cooking, errands, cleaning or other household duties? If so, stop completely for a few days...

6. Pre-Reqs + Waiting List questions?

   SoCalHeart replied to dalsor's topic in California

   Have you looked at Crafton Hills in Yucaipa or Valley College in San Bernardino? Not sure if those places are reasonable to get to for you but they both offer A&P and Micro. You may have better luck getting into them than RCC, I know they are sup...

7. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

   SoCalHeart replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I may be a little late on this, but last semester I had anatomy and we got cats to dissect. The preservative odor was really strong after a couple weeks so we got masks at the end, but I figured out if I sprayed a little body spray/perfume on my righ...

8. Starting to take science prereq's for Nursing school, need some advice!

   SoCalHeart replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the other posters you should probably take anatomy before physiology, then micro. You may want to double check your school(s) course catalog though. For my school students that are going into nursing HAVE to take their science courses in...

13. No daycare, need to work nights, is this doable?

    SoCalHeart replied to Chazd18RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters, inviting in that kind of misery from lack of sleep and maybe even danger (what if you're too tired driving home?) isn't worth it. Maybe you can talk to some of your coworkers who have children and see who they recommen...

14. Failed to get into LVN program at community college...

    SoCalHeart replied to TemeculaGuy's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hey, sorry to hear you didn't get into the program at your school. Have you considered perhaps RCC, I hear their programs are pretty competitive to get into, but at least it would be less expensive than a trade/vocational school's price tag! I don't ...
