momtojosh, it wasn't bad at all. I got a B in both. I even missed one of my labs. If I had turned it in, I would have gotten an A in one of them. The main thing is studying. I knew pretty much nothing about anatomy (other than what you learn as ...

My chemistry course (as well as A&P I and II) were online through Florida State College at Jacksonville. They were all 4 credit hour courses (3 for standard course and 1 for the lab). The platform was similar to those used in MyMathLab, but I d...

I never had HS chemistry and I took it online. I thought surely I would fail, but somehow I managed a B. I think there was some creative grading going on in that class. With anything, you have to really buckle down and give it as much attention as...

It actually looks like you are the one in need of clarification. I'm not a nurse and I clearly said so in my initial post. I am the mother of 3 children that are on medicaid and have been on both sides of the fence with insurance. I think this th...

Acutally, none of your post wast "tripping me up" nor do I need clarification. I think your posts are speaking for themselves.

I realize that there are a lot of people that abuse the system and don't work at all but what makes so many think that people on medicaid aren't also contributing by paying taxes? As I mentioned before, my kids are on medicaid. I'm not rude. I act th...

I actually did that (or something similar) last week. My son has been hospitalized a few times. He is 4. He has been poked, prodded, allergy tested, iv'd, etc. until the poor kid probably feels like a science project. He had his well child visit ...

This has got to be one of the most stereotypical statements I have ever read. Granted, I do see that you tried to soften the blow. My children have medicaid. I had medicaid when I was pregnant with my youngest (now 2), but no longer qualify and n...

Honeybee - that is awesome! I think we should all keep in touch regardless of where we are (I'll be at Alabama Southern). Maybe we could have a study group....could be beneficial to see what everyone is learning. Congratulations on getting in!

If it were me, I would not report. If it is still bothering you then maybe you should go directly to her. Tell her straight up that you felt she spoke in an unprofessional manner (in a non-hostile way). It will probably just open up a new can of w...

sniper1, your posts were very informative! Even though I didn't ask the questions, thanks! Also, I was curious if anyone else noticed that JDCC is hiring a new Director of Nursing. Wondering how this will impact the program.

Courtlane - Last admission I know a guy that got on the alternate list with points in the 160's range. I am not sure if he actually made it in. I think someone else posted about someone they knew that got in with a 181 or 184. As long as you are a...

I got in!!!!!!!!! Alabama Southern Community College in Monroeville. I am soooooooo excited! Their last graduating class all passed the NCLEX - that is awesome. I can't wait!

Here is a thought...what if neighbor asks you to take BP, you decline (afraid of being sued) and she suffers heart attack/stroke. Family knows she went to you and knows you are capable of assisting...they sue you anyway. My point is you could face...

Congratulations Honeybee!!! Keep us posted.

It never feels like the right time. I have 3 boys and have always had to work. My first stayed with a family member until he was about 10 months old before starting daycare, which was great...made it a lot easier. My other two started daycare as ...

I don't think it was a control issue for the patient at all. He was probably tired of being in the hospital for one and might have been a little grumpy and the completely innocent statement may have struck a nerve. Maybe he is just a butt, who know...

SunnyPup....please, please, please send me a PM when you have a moment. I believe my son attends middle school in the school district you are referencing, but I am pretty sure not the same school. I believe the principle at his school would take th...

Presnall - Good luck to you. I can totally identify with what you are saying and have been going back and forth myself. I wish you very much success in whatever you decide to do! The medical field is a great market no matter what the position. Pe...

Yeah, I agree with Sniper1. The bridge program may be different. If you read the previous threads in this discussion, we have all applied for at least one program (standard RN program) and haven't gotten in. I have applied twice - had both A&P...

Wendysu - If I remember correctly it depends on whether you are a recent high school graduate or if you have had college courses. If you have had college you get points for Microbiology, A&P 1 and A&P2. I didn't pay attention to the point s...

I don't know where you live, but in Florida we have something called the Baker Act, which allows immediate family members to require adults to get mental help. I assume that it works for rehab too, not really sure. Maybe you could check into that -...

I am trying to get into nursing school myself and am so close I can't stand it. You should check into your local community colleges first. You'll have to take some college aptitude testing to see if you need to take any pre-requisites to the main c...

I haven't decided. My ultimate goal is to get at least a Masters in Pyschology so I am seriously thinking about finishing up my AA (I only have Algebra and Stat left) in Psychology and going on to get my Bachelors. I have thought about getting my BSN...

Man, the scores must have been really high! I thought 140-ish might be good because of the girl last semestr with the 138 who made the waiting list. Well, we'll just have to keep trying.
