  1. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    CBsMommy replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    I tried to help this person by me shadowing her and her performing all of the skills that needed to be done with me there to help. She did whine and ask how I was so confident that I knew all of this...

  2. what is the most important thing in preparing the family for nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to butterfly135's topic in General Students

    I am not quite in nursing school yet but I have a full time job and take about 10 credit hours per semester, nursing related, such as pathophys and A&P I and II, Micro, Clinical Calc, etc. I'm a...

  3. What's the coolest thing you have done or seen so far?

    CBsMommy replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I'm with DarkRainyDays. The coolest part of nursing is connecting with the patients and getting to know them as people. Although, I can say that I am eager to see and do everything in ALMOST any...

  4. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    CBsMommy replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    I would try and help him but by helping him, I would make sure that he did the work while you watched. I most certainly would not do his work for him. We had a clinical kinda like this. We had a...

  5. maybe not nursing..

    CBsMommy replied to BethT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Beth - I agree with the post that suggests taking a CNA class or doing the job for a while before leaping into everything that is nursing school. I will tell you that I am in the exact same boat...

  6. Where to start help please

    CBsMommy replied to cake2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and Micro online too. The tests are also timed and there is NO WAY you can look up all those answers in the time alloted and like Sand Dollar says, they are hard questions! I took...

  7. Getting into Nursing School: Please Reply

    CBsMommy replied to DMB_Love's topic in General Students

    It has taken me almost 5 years to get accepted to a nursing program and I'm still not there (but close). It is the longest two year degree of my life! Hang in there if this is truly what you want to...

  8. I want 2 be a nurse, but I'm scared!!!

    CBsMommy replied to MOM2BOYS0902's topic in General Students

    I'm with you. I'm scared because this is such a change in my life. I am currently working in the financial side of the real estate world, a single mom who owns her house and when I start school, I'm...

  9. I cannot STAND working in lab student discrimination!

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

    You can't know for sure if it's the color of your skin. People are weird in different ways. He might not like your perfume for example. If you want to be a nurse that should be all that matters....

  10. Cancelled PPCC Nursing Info Session Today

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The only classes that I've taken through CCCOnline are Psy 235 - Developmental Psych and it was a really fair class. Not too hard but it did make you work for your grade. I took Micro and that was a...

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've been using CCCOnline too. Love it! I love to do my own study schedule and be home with my son on the evenings and weekends. I currently work for a bank as my full time job. Good luck to you...

  12. Cancelled PPCC Nursing Info Session Today

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    As I was pulling in the school parking lot at 12noon (right when the first flakes were coming down) the announcer on the radio said PPCC was closing, at noon!!! LOL! They are going to reschedule the...

  13. Cancelled PPCC Nursing Info Session Today

    CBsMommy replied to CBsMommy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I will be careful but I can't imagine it's going to be that bad. It's still 30 out which means it isn't going to freeze, there are no winds and where PPCC is we are only supposed to get about 3...

  14. I am so bummed...

    CBsMommy replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have PCOS that was diagnosed when one of the cysts burst and I had to go to the ER. It's not fun at times but I had a baby at the age of 27 taking progesterone pills and it only took about 2 months...

  15. Why Do People Fail Nursing School?

    CBsMommy replied to Pachinko's topic in General Students

    So, my question is, why do nursing instructors target students? Is it because the student is not learning the information fast enough? Is it really a personality conflict like another poster said,...

  16. What mantra is getting you through nursing school?

    CBsMommy replied to MySimplePlan's topic in General Students

    I am not in "nursing school" yet but I have completed everything except the actual nursing classes like OB. When I'm studying I say to myself, "How is this going to help my patients". When I'm...

  17. I am sure this is a silly question but I am truly curious.

    CBsMommy replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I myself am a bit of a crier too! I cried twice throughout clinicals over a particular resident and his daughter (who was also crying). I would never sit there and bawl outloud with the family but...

  18. What students should NOT do before,during, and after exams

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I HATE that student who gets up first in the test to hand in their paper and smiles at the students as they pass by like, "I was the first to finish...LOSER". Really annoys me. P.S. I know that's...

  19. can't believe what they are doing ..

    CBsMommy replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree. I did see that in the letter, that the last day to complete the TEAS was May 4th. I wonder when the committee is going to meet. I know the letter is going out on May 29th so that gives...

  20. can't believe what they are doing ..

    CBsMommy replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I was told that the TEAS factored into the score but now I'm not too sure. That's one of the questions that I am going to ask on the 26th at the information seminar. I'm taking the day off work just...

  21. can't believe what they are doing ..

    CBsMommy replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Robyn - The letter stated that the people on the waitlist will get into classes first. The PPCC waitlist is approx. 3 years and they let approx. 50 students into each semester. So there are about...

    CBsMommy replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Oh, no, I know that you didn't mean to imply I said those things, sh1901. I just wanted to clarify for anyone else reading the thread. I'm glad she didn't make it through the program either as she...

    CBsMommy replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

  24. can't believe what they are doing ..

    CBsMommy replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I got my letter today as well. It's exactly like they stated except there isn't a breakdown of points except for the grades. How many extra points are they giving for a previous degree? The TEAS?,...

  25. my first poop/ nasty experience... just wanna share

    CBsMommy replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you didn't make a face. When I was in a clinical for CNA classes I was alone with another student. We were changing a patient and that student looked at her and said, "Well, you really...
