  1. is this common?

    peytonsmom replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree I think it depends on where you work. When I worked in LTG the only difference in day to day jobs of the nurse and the aides was that the nurses passed out meds. BUT it was the non-day to...

  2. Doing a HUGE happy dance!!

    peytonsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It has been my goal to start out taking the pre-reqs I need at a local CC and then to transfer to a 4 year school to get my BSN. Because I already have a chunk of the pre-reqs completed from my first...

  4. Is CNM right for me?

    peytonsmom posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Good morning. I have been reading this forum today and I have a few questions. (this might get long sorry!) I'm currently taking pre-reqs for a BSN track. Part of our "assignment" for applying to...

  5. Is CNM right for me?

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I guess the way I said that sounded derogatory but I didn't mean it that way! The FNP's I have met in my community are almost always in a doctor's office setting. I don't think I'd be as interested...

  6. FT Working Mom & Student?

    peytonsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all! This is my first post here but i've been leafing through some of the posts the last few days. To make a long story short I got my associates in business six years ago and have a decent...

  7. How many student are left?

    peytonsmom replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man I wish people would drop out of my lab class but so far that's the only one everyone keeps coming to lol. Its the only class I have that is 90% younger kids (as in 18-19 y/o) and if I have to...

  8. Got a 100 on my first A&P Lab Exam !!!

    peytonsmom replied to Lady_Vol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YAY! That's awesome! I'm taking that test next week and i'm frantically studying. Lecture is def my strong suit compared to lab. Oh, and i'm "index card girl" in our lecture class. I acutally...

  9. How many student are left?

    peytonsmom replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My A&P I class is the same way. We started w/ 22 and I know we've lost at least five. The other night in class we literally had 10 people show up. We've also gone from 22 to 11 in my online...

  10. being a mom and a student

    peytonsmom replied to PinkPeony7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I have a bit of a different perspective but I give it w/ the disclaimer that I have never been pg during school (I am just now taking pre-req's w/ a 3 year old son at home). My dh and I got married...

  11. FT Working Mom & Student?

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

    msdeannah - I know what you mean about feeling so much more productive when you're not at home. Its amazing how much more I get done at the library than at home w/ the distratctions. Do you have...

  12. I Feel Like An Idiot!

    peytonsmom replied to BIG DREAMER09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being a mom is not always condusive to studying! I cannot study in my house. There is always *something* that has to have mom's attention no matter how many times "go ask daddy" is repeated. Not to...

  13. What do STNAs do?

    peytonsmom replied to alainad's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think it mainly depends where you work. The three years I worked as an STNA was in a long term care facility, and glorified butt wiper pretty much covered my job description. Basically my duties...

  14. A&P I How's it going??

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

    So far so good, depsite a really bad lecture professor. I've studied my butt off and managed to get a 90 on our first quiz and a 96 on our first test. We have our first lab test next week and I...

  15. I could make a career of worrying...

    peytonsmom replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do the exact same thing! Last week especially I was experiencing EXTREME mommy guilt because after work most of the week I was hitting the library to study for an A&P test instead of spending...

  16. For you A students...

    peytonsmom replied to workintorn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that knowing your learning style will help 1000%. I'm almost a total visual learner. If someone gives me instructions verbally I have to have them repeated a few times, but if I read them I...

  17. Can someone give a brief on Pre-reqs&dividing classes up

    peytonsmom replied to teadough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For most colleges you have to complete your prereqs before you are even allowed to apply for the actual nursing program. So the first two years of a BSN or the first year of an RN program you are...

    peytonsmom replied to Kamdyn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a craptastic (but no psychotic) A&P I prof too. We litterally learn nothing in lecture. He has power points that he basically reads word for word and that is all lecture is. The power...
