  1. Is $49,000.00 too much for ADN program?

    penelopelp replied to abqfavorite's topic in General Students

    Your username makes me think you are in Albuquerque. If you are, your information about the community college is incorrect. There is no waitlist

  2. How long did it take you to complete your prerequisites?

    penelopelp replied to julibyrd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started in Spring 2009 by taking one class at a time. Later, I switched to full-time classes. I kind of went on and off and completed all my pre-reqs by Summer 2011. It is true that you want to...

  4. PCT class before nursing school?

    penelopelp posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am hopefully going to start a nursing program in the summer. I have completed all of my pre-reqs. My school offers a PCT program, and I'm wondering if I should take that? The other option is that I...

  6. financial aid - second degree student

    penelopelp posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have one class left to take to get into my community college's nursing program. I have a degree in another field, and have been receiving federal loans. However, my CC sent me an email stating that...

  7. financial aid - second degree student

    penelopelp replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a brand new policy for them, and they state that it doesn't matter whether or not you have another degree. I checked the university in my city, and they have the same policy. I can appeal the...

  8. Anyone know the petitioning process at CNM?

    penelopelp replied to misselena's topic in General Nursing

    To see the new requirements, go to CNM's page on nursing, and click on Application Process. Nursing They are basing it on a point system for grades on specific prerequisites, and on the score for the...

  9. Should I try to work as CNA before I get my RN?

    penelopelp replied to nolamor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My school requires that we take the CNA class before we start nursing classes. I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and get my CNA this semester. I still have 2 semesters left of pre-nursing...

  10. Health Unit Coordinator

    penelopelp replied to jrenner's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I went through the HUC program last Fall and got a job in December. I'm glad that I went through the program. I am switching careers, and thought that I could use some health care experience while...

  11. BSN UNM admission changes

    penelopelp replied to JHHarten1's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that they are not going to base admission totally on G.P.A. I have two Bachelor's degrees already. I had a pretty low average with the first degree. I was able to bring up my average to 3.625...

  12. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    penelopelp replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    It is normal for a workplace to require that their employees follow a certain dress code. Of course, it isn't always enforced. I think they should have mentioned this to you a long time ago. You may...

  13. I'm only 22 years old.

    penelopelp replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Some people grew up in situations where they saw lots of pain and suffering way before they were 22. Count yourself lucky that you lived in a more protected world before that. There is pain and...

  14. Online Microbiology?

    penelopelp replied to kalley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried online Chemistry, and dropped out after 2 weeks. I think I do much better in a situation where I can ask the professor questions whenever I need to. When I took the online Chemistry, I...

  15. Any INFP nurses out there?

    penelopelp replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for starting this thread! I'm in pre-nursing, and I'm an INFP. I've been wondering how INFP's do in nursing, and what kind of nursing they like

  16. changing major from nursing to english lit?

    penelopelp replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds very familiar... Many years ago, I was a pre-nursing major. I found the classes to be hard, and I really enjoyed my English lit. class. I changed my major to English lit. I had a great...

  17. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    penelopelp replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if you could get away with that rule, or not. Mom thought that she might want to someday teach nursing in college, but she's having serious second thoughts after seeing how some students...

  18. Anyone worried about throwing up or passing out?

    penelopelp replied to c18436572's topic in General Students

    I have the same fear because I have a hx of fainting whenever I feel pain. I'm not worried about vomit, I saw a lot of that when I was a teacher. I'm more worried about seeing something that looks...

  19. Work in hospital while completing ADN?

    penelopelp replied to CAC26's topic in General Students

    I'm trying for a unit secretary position, too! I went through a short training, and now I'm looking for a job. The hospitals here will pay for your nursing schooling if you are employed with them. You...

  20. Am I doing the right thing?

    penelopelp replied to kerkins08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd go to the state school. You will probably get just as good of an education, and it will be a whole lot

  21. I'm kind of sad I need advice. thank you

    penelopelp replied to able2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would you be able to afford just one class? It's better than none at all and it will get you to your goal (eventually). You could also get a job at a hospital and have them pay for your degree. That's...

  22. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    penelopelp replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get distracted if the student next to me texts a lot. I don't mind as much if they just text a couple of things really quickly. It's when it happens really repeatedly that it bothers me. I've also...

  23. Is your loved one sick of hearing nursing stuff?

    penelopelp replied to melisgood's topic in General Students

    The use of the word "sh.." sounds inappropriate to me. I've run into a similar problem with my DH in that he gets tired of me going on and on about what I am doing. He would rather get home from work...

  24. HUC / Unit Secretary - Accreditation?

    penelopelp replied to dark_light's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently going through HUC training in another state. I know that the cc I am going to is accredited; however, I haven't heard that my program is actually accredited. Have you tried calling HR...

  25. PRN Nurse and High school teacher? Insane?

    penelopelp replied to niubiochem's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that it would be pretty difficult to teach during the week and do PRN on the weekends. I used to be a teacher, and I had a lot of grading/lesson plans to do on the evenings and weekends....
