  1. Pre-req ouch

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

    I agree w/ labchic. Tuition at my CC is $123/credit hour and that's insanely cheap! The tution at the four year pulic universities and the one private college is about $400/credit hour. I live in...

  2. When did you know what specialty you wanted?

    peytonsmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just about to finish up my pre-reqs and have had many conversations w/ other pre-req students about what area we hope to eventually end up in. Just out of curiousity, I was wondering how many of...

  3. Learning to be emotionally neutral

    peytonsmom replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    This is probably going to be one of my issues as well. Well, keeping my mouth shut will probably be the issue. I have a weeee bit of a temper and people like that generally annoy me enough that I...

  4. Opinions on a term.

    peytonsmom replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it could go either way for me. It would depend on how the person is using the term. For instance, I can use the word Jew to denote someone of Jewish heritage or I can use it in a way that...

  5. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    peytonsmom replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    roser - I admit to not reading much more of this thread past that one comment because it fired me up a bit so I didn't see a lot of the other discussions! As a previous grad of a CC and as someone...

  6. New to college and don't understand

    peytonsmom replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    The best way I can explain it is that in order to do well in the actual nursing classes, the school feels that you need to have a solid background knowledge of several things including math, science...

  7. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    peytonsmom replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live the difference between waiting list at the two community colleges vs the waiting list at the private school is 3 years vs no wait at all if you have the grades. I have a 4.0 in all of...

  8. Extremely Upsetting!!!!!

    peytonsmom replied to twinjeep97's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the Cleveland area, but I can tell you there is just about nothing here in Toledo. The jobs that are open are per diem and asking for 1-2 years experience. Even LTC jobs are few...

  9. Do you have any other options?

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

    If for some reason I wasn't able to persue nursing anymore I'd probably end up in sonography or nuclear

  10. Nursing student/parent needs time mgmt. advice

    peytonsmom replied to k5steve's topic in General Students

    I agree on the flash cards. Keep them w/ you and you can pull them out at any time and go through them quickly as compared to hauling out the textbooks. I do a lot of studying when Peyton is in the...

  11. Taking advice from advisors

    peytonsmom replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    I meant to say that ITA on the "sense of entitlement" some (not all) people seem to have (and I include people my own age in that statement as well - I'm 26). The sheer # of people in my A&P class...

  12. Taking advice from advisors

    peytonsmom replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    The first time I was in school I was very young. I started taking courses at 15 at our local CC and graduated from there when I was 18 shortly after highschool. At one point I was taking 14 credit...

  13. Waiting 2 1/2 years in Cali, feeling like giving up

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

    When you talk to the schools make sure you ask them what the GPA cutoff was for the prior years rather than just what the acceptable cutoff is to apply. I know of two schools that "accept" a GPA of...

  14. How has having/not having children affect your career?

    peytonsmom replied to Ellean55's topic in General Students

    I got married at 18 and had my son at 22. I had my associates degree in business and *thought* I had my life plan in set at that point and was beyond thrilled to welcome my little man into our lives....

  15. What did you do when you did not get accepted?

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

    I'm on a wait list for fall '09 for an ADN program. If I don't get in there I'll be waiting until fall '10 for that program (it's the only area nights and weekends nursing courses and I work FT...

  16. A pre-req of a pre-req of a pre-req

    peytonsmom replied to teapot289's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I talked an advisor into letting me into three classes (Math, Spanish, & Chem) that I didn't have the pre-reqs met for. It ends up being luck of the draw on how nice the advisor is and how well...

  17. pay scale for medical assistants?

    peytonsmom replied to darla80's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Around here MA's in the office make about $11/hr or so and LPN's around $16/hr. I'm not sure about the few RN's we have working in offices, but I know starting pay at the hospitals for an RN is...

  18. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

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

    I agree that the NUMBER of people are overwhelming. Our area graduates an average of 500+ RN's each year. That doesn't include whatever LPN programs are out there. Our area can NOT sustain that!...

  19. Any Owen's students here?

    peytonsmom replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have Renee Wolford for my session, although i'm still hoping someone drops out of the online section so I can get in

  20. Any Owen's students here?

    peytonsmom replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Are you taking nutrition this summer? I'm taking it on M&W nights the 2nd session so it starts on June 29th. We don't do any disecting until A&P II labs and we start off the first few weeks...

  21. Any Owen's students here?

    peytonsmom replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm working on pre-reqs at Owen's. Are you planning on just doing pre-reqs there or are you going to try and take your nursing classes there a well? Did they tell you about the massive wait list...

  22. Pre -Reqs at Different Schools

    peytonsmom replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've looked at four schools all w/i about 20 minutes of each other. Not only are the pre-reqs different for all the schools, but some of the classes are not interchangeable. For instance if you take...

  23. here we GO!

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

    I start next week w/ Nutrition, Med Term, and some "Managing Yourself" class I took because I need the 1 credit hour to bump me up to 6 for financial aid reasons. The book for that class cost more...

  24. So how did everyone do????

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

    WOW! Is the school looking into this professor at all? That's nuts! I did well in my classes. I got an A in A&PII and an A in tech math which is a hybrid math course covering Algebra, Geo, and...

  25. So sad

    peytonsmom replied to coachswife09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, take the class over. Before you start though, sit down and think about why you did poorly on the tests. Did you not understand the material? Not enough quality study time? Did the type of...
