  1. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ToxicShock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll get in AmyBeth - 3.25 is actually a good GPA. You're right about prayer :-) More has been accomplished thru prayer than most people will ever realize. I'm 55 y.o. male BTW so I'm making a...

  2. Pity Party! Wanna join?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to partee-a-five's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will get in, not to worry. Where I'm doing this, (community college - ADN) there is a year-and-a-half wait, no matter what your GPA is. I was told by my advisors that my GPA and NET scores are...

  3. What to make of this, with today's economy?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a nursing student, who works at a hospital currently in a non-clinical support role. Trying to get through school and become an RN as quickly as I can. Money for me and my family is very...

  4. Roll Call

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Tweety's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for your explanation of what PACU is - I'm a pre-nursing student myself who is just applying for nursing school. I was sort of wondering what it was. I actually do work at a hospital currently...

  5. All About the NET

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Csantos, and everyone else :-) Thanks for your help on here.... Just to update, I finally took the NET at my local community college testing center where I'm going to school - took it early Friday...

  6. Am I too old to just be starting?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    You've got to be kidding me LOL Too old????? I started pre-nursing three semesters ago and have just finished my pre-reqs - all I have left now is three co-reqs, two of which I'm taking this semester...

  7. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I've already posted a reply to this message, but I just had to go back and re-read your story once again - it's that inspirational. Thanks again for posting it. It has helped me to realize that while...

  8. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ToxicShock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine is 3.59 right now with only a few classes left to go - In my case they don't really figure GPA in as long as you get at least a "C" average as far as getting into nursing school goes. I'm still...

  9. How many classes do you have left?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. What does your spring 2009 class schedule look like...?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to monkeykiss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a somewhat light load compared to the last three semesters - taking microbiology, and English 101 - two of only three co-reqs that I have left. I have all of my pre-reqs finally done. I was in...

  11. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Right now, my wife and I would just like to have enough money to someday move out of our small one-bedroom apt, and possibly have enough not only to pay all the bills on time, but maybe actually go...

  12. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I agree with some of the others on here - your instructor doesn't deserve the credit - you do. And you had the proper outlook and attitude toward it. Which is, even when bad things happen, there is...

  13. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you mean about the outside of class thing too - I work full time 40+ hrs in addition to school plus a family home life, so I really don't have a lot of time to meet outside of class for...

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We start classes where I am next week - next Wednesday is when my first microbiology class meets. Yeah, I know what you mean. Some teachers go through the powerpoint slides so fast that it's hard to...

  15. Was anyone poor before becoming a nurse?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    "I ate a lot of 4/$1. ramen noodles." Ahhh.... What would we have done without cheap packages of ramen noodles LOL. We're still "poor" but at least we don't have to live on things like ramen noodles...

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be taking microbiology as a corec in spring '09 (starts next week for me actually) while I'm waiting for my nursing school app to be processed. You can definitely count me in with your study...

  17. All About the NET

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "they said 3 weeks to get our results in the mail but i think it came sooner last time, maybe 2 weeks?" I was under the impression that you got your results right away, being that it's actually taken...

  18. All About the NET

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Looking for a warmer climate to work in...any suggestions?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to primerk's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I live in Phoenix, AZ, and the warm dry desert climate is great here. Tends to get a bit hot in the summers, but if you can make it thru the summers, the rest of the year more than makes up for...

  22. How is it possible working AND going to nursing school?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I hope it's possible LOL because that's exactly what I'm planning on doing. I really wish that I could just go to school full-time with nothing else to worry about, but for me that's not...

  23. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Effie, RN: I agree with you completely - I'm not a nurse yet, but I spend a lot of time watching them and how they do their jobs, trying to learn as much as I can as well as what I'm learning in...

  24. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am 55 years old, male, and I am in the process of going back to school to become a nurse. No, I cannot honestly say that it's what I always wanted to do, but I honestly believe that this is where...

  25. how are you paying for nursing school? or how do you plan to pay for nursing school?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Students

    My employer is paying my tuition - the signed agreement that I have with them is that I must work for them as an R.N. for a minimum of three years in return. Not a bad deal, IMO..... The only drawback...
