    Worried transfer student applying for an RN/BSN college :(

    Coriander replied to MissHeatherD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Congrats on finishing your classes! I've been handling the same situation. I first went to college 17 years ago and did... poorly is a nicer way of saying how bad I did! I started community...

    Am i too old to start aiming for a nursing career

    Coriander replied to rompril's topic in General Nursing

    Heck no! I'm 34 too, turning 35 next month. Welcome

    Are the Pre-Req classes to the nursing program...

    Coriander replied to itsnever2L8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends, really, on how fast you pick things up and how motivated you can remain. For me, when I returned to school at 32, things were relatively easy because my brain had been on vacation for so...

    UGH!!...

    Coriander replied to MVStudentRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it's hard... When I had a really rough time with a subject, I would imagine the day I would graduate with my BSN. I would try to feel the pride and joy throughout, and that would get me...

    Any CNAs of former CNAs here? I have a question about working in a nursing home

    Coriander replied to karenflrz's topic in General Nursing

    Two disclaimers: I wasn't a CNA, and our facility was a residential facility for Alzheimer's/Dementia patients only. :) I worked as a Program Leader, essentially a supervisor for the caregiving team....

    I don't care if you know someone whos had every disease that we talk about!

    Coriander replied to Duice88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've spoken up a couple of times about what it's like having mono, or a blood clot in my leg, BUT only when the professor asked if anyone had experienced such things. There were people in the classes...

    Just took my teas

    Coriander replied to Avary's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lucky duck! :) I had the most ridiculous questions on mine, from drawing pictures to subduction zones to figuring out what color a guinea pig would be if it had brown and black parents....

    Ideas to honor student at graduation who passed away

    Coriander replied to Ferwhat's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss... how unbelievably sad. I think that the moment of silence, as well as the pin presentation, will be an emotional time for you

    Soon to be new pre-nursing student.

    Coriander replied to Nikkee303's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! :) I was 32 when I went back to school, so don't worry about your age. There are MANY people on this board who have gone back to school! If you know you'll have the time, why not get your...

    Really...how hard is Chemistry?

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

    I took the Chemistry class for nursing majors that was general, organic and bio-chem all in one semester. I did every assigned problem (even though he didn't collect it), went to every tutoring...

    Anatomy before Chemistry?

    Coriander replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college split Anatomy and Physio into two separate classes. I took Anatomy, Physio, Micro and Chem in that order and did just fine. :) Actually, that was the order recommended by my advisor, so I...

    How did you know?

    Coriander replied to Future-AZ-Nurse's topic in General Students

    Both of my grandmothers were in hospice at the ends of their lives. I was incredibly touched by the soft-spoken support and gentleness shown by the nurses. I was surprised, but not really (if that...

    Dem' Bones (A&P Help)

    Coriander replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's completely goofy what I did, but it helped immensely. I went out to the Halloween shops and bought foam bones. I took a sharpie and drew on sutures, trochantres, bumps and knobs, etc. I would...

    4th year and I have a 2.8-2.9

    Coriander replied to hisgu74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll third the "Don't give up". I would recommend retaking those three courses as well. You've already taken the classes so I wouldn't see a problem taking all three in a semester. When I went...

    Non-Compliant Alzheimer Patient

    Coriander replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse either, however worked for some time with Alzheimer's residents. We would put their medication in their favorite foods... one woman stoutly refused everything, but loved her coffee,...

    Totally discouraged...

    Coriander replied to CER022512's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a &^^%@ and a @*^^%@. He should NOT be telling you these things. A 3.4 is pretty darned good, and you haven't even done the other courses yet! When I reentered college three years ago, I...

    Does this bother you.. or is it just me?

    Coriander replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder what would happen if you wrote "Stop copying me!"

    Anyone else waiting to hear from San Diego State University?

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in California Nursing

    Coriander replied to mtopolinski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't had this experience, but just wanted to say Congratulations!

    Does this bother you.. or is it just me?

    Coriander replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you did the right thing. If she did it without thinking when you were taking an exam, it could have really dire circumstances. She needs to realize that everyone needs to take responsibility...

    dang it... my gpa

    Coriander replied to ExcitedAboutFuture's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first started community college 2 1/2 years ago, my previous GPA was a really horrible 1.32 from a disastrous three semesters when I was 17/18 years old. I busted my buns and now have a bit...

    Need a more positive outlook - help!

    Coriander replied to Hope.A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm also pre-nursing. If you check out the General tab, especially under Nursing humor, there are some great stories there. When I have rough days in class, I often go over there and read some...
