  1. LPN to RN program & credit issues

    pharmgirl replied to pinkgirl08's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm in a bridge program at a community college. 1st year is LPN, 2nd year is RN. We have pre-reqs that we have to have before we can even apply for the nursing program. One of which is A&P....

  2. Anyone used WIA along with Financial Aid?

    pharmgirl replied to LBS2008's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I receive WIA and they have basically covered all my tuition leaving my Pell grant for books and uniforms. I also receive a monthly gas check. They were very vague about the gas check and told us...

  3. New New Step Dad, Mom in nursing school, too much?

    pharmgirl replied to ovnerati's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your decision, I know it was a hard one. One of the things that I did to make it easier on my husband (i had a couple night classes) was to spend one weekend day a month cooking 5 or 6...

  4. New New Step Dad, Mom in nursing school, too much?

    pharmgirl replied to ovnerati's topic in General Students

    After reading your post, I can't help but get this feeling that you are scared. Now, I don't know you from Adam and I don't want to step over some imaginary line here but my guess is that you are...

  5. how to deal with death???

    pharmgirl replied to acorvette's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm sorry you had to go through this and i'm sure it is difficult. I, too, had to deal with a death that hit me very hard. Our second day of OB rotation, we delivered a Fetal Demise. It was a...

  6. How many are left?

    pharmgirl replied to smartin13's topic in General Students

    ADN program started with 40 in August and down to 35. Just had a test on Tuesday that will be the determining factor for several so expecting to see a few less faces in lecture today

  7. those who got accepted.

    pharmgirl replied to jillrayearth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm attending a cc. As with most programs it was competitive and they don't keep "waiting lists". Just have to keep applying. I did get in though. My school refers to ACT scores and not the TEAS....

  8. New Student

    pharmgirl replied to sbhope2bnurse's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Now the fun begins LOL....my advice to you is time management and prioritize. As the above poster said, your house does not need to be sparkly clean. Everyone that comes over will...

  9. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    pharmgirl replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I think that last sentence hits the nail on the head "The best thing we can do is respect everyone's differences". There is no better advice in this thread. That statement transcends career and...

  10. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    pharmgirl replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Ditto! Ditto! May I also add that I think not only would answering a few questions be a contribution to the class but would also be a contribution to your goal of Medical Law. As a side note, I was...

  11. How have your skill checkoffs been??

    pharmgirl replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    They SUCK! lol, we had our first checkoff this week for IV's, piggybacks, IM, Subq, Intradermal and physical assessment. I did pass but I swear it was the most nerve-racking morning ever. We had...

  12. Really need some tips...

    pharmgirl replied to NurseInTraining09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry you are going through this. Its tough and especially tough with kids. But you CAN do this!! and I'm glad to hear the determination in your words. There is a great post somewhere on here...

  13. How quickly we forget

    pharmgirl replied to lemonaidangel's topic in General Students

    Awesome

  14. clinicals

    pharmgirl replied to able2009's topic in General Students

    I'm gonna take a gamble here and say that every school is pretty similar in that you do clinicals in every area. Everyone wants to go into OB until they actually do their clinical and either hate OB...

  15. Pre-Reqs compared to nursing classes

    pharmgirl replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL....its not that glorious, trust me. With only 4 hours each week there is A LOT of self-teaching. There just isn't enough time to lecture on everything so trying to figure out what 75 questions...

  16. Pre-Reqs compared to nursing classes

    pharmgirl replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto all of the above. Before I started the program I thought things couldn't get much more difficult than the classes I had already taken. Boy was I wrong!! Its not the information, its the...

  19. First Day.. Nervous

    pharmgirl replied to MomInTraining's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh good luck! I started in August and dont envy that first day feeling but you'll do just fine. Study partners are great if that is the best way for you to study. I agree with the advice to wait it...

  20. Choosing to be a Type 1 diabetic

    pharmgirl replied to Bicycleboy's topic in General Students

    I think that is awesome! what a great idea, I would definately jump at the chance to do this. Keep us informed as to how it

  21. First clinical. Where was yours??

    pharmgirl replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    Mine is long term care wing IN the hospital. Its a very small wing with maybe 15 rooms. There are 4 nurses that we shadow one-on-one while the other 4 students pass meds. We switch the next day....

  22. Do you find it "fun"?

    pharmgirl replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So far I am having "fun". Learning is fun to me and I have met some great people in the program as well so its all good....stressful, but good. And i LOVE LOVE LOVE clinicals!!! We have the most...

  23. Nursing student and over weight

    pharmgirl replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    OH YEAH!!! I also wear a 2x although I didnt need to say it in front of the whole class. I'm old enough to have come to the realization that I just really don't care. Not that I dont care about my...

  24. how do I help her emotionally?

    pharmgirl replied to help for my daughter's topic in General Students

    Bless your heart, mom! I feel your pain, I really do. I am a mom and a nursing student. I just recently started the nursing program in August after a 20 year absence from school. I may be old but...
