  1. Is this normal?

    nohika posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently working on my pre-requisites for my community college's ADN program. I literally just started - I'm doing the pre-req for A&P in the fall, so I have about a full year of classes to...

  2. what did you pair your statistics class with??

    nohika replied to jeanttb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took it with Sociology (5week course) and English 102 (8week course). It was 4 weeks long (statistics was). Only God knows how I managed an A in

  3. Is this normal?

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

    Phew! I'm so glad to realize I'm not insane. Just a bit of clarification - I'm 18, but I turn 19 in August (FINALLY), and have been going to college for a little over three years (two of them through...

  4. VENT--no call after my interview.

    nohika replied to bekindtokittens's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's possible they could still be processing. =/ I'm not a nurse myself, but I've heard several stories where people were saying that HR took FOREVER to get back to them. So just keep after them until...

  5. True? --> "RN's Can Work 3Days/Wk And Make A Good Salary!"

    nohika replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Just from what I've read, and I'm not a nurse yet (or even in school), California has one of the TOUGHEST new-grad markets right now. I would think trying to find a job in Cali as a new-grad in a peds...

  6. Two questions!

    nohika replied to Just_Jen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) This is complicated. xD I'm currently 18 (I'll be 19 in less than a month), and my mother constantly told me growing up: "You should be a nurse." My answer was always: "Hell no." Almost two months...

  7. help me choose

    nohika replied to Mommy Of Two 87's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the college (the ADN/BSN thing). My ADN program (I'll enter hopefully in 2010 or 2011) has an agreement with an RN/BSN program - you complete four extra classes with a 3.0 or...

  8. How do you decide which pre-reqs to take first?

    nohika replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Your best bet would probably be to contact an advisor at the college you want/are looking at going to, or check their website - you'll probably find some information

  9. How do you decide which pre-reqs to take first?

    nohika replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    A lot of the hard-science classes (A&P, Micro) have pre-requisites, so you really have to look at all of the classes and look at what you have to take FIRST. Also, if you're a new student, like...

  10. advice for solo mama, new adrn student?

    nohika replied to esokitty's topic in General Students

    I would honestly recommend delaying the nursing portion, especially with two (fairly) young children. The full-time nursing program in itself is supposed to be incredibly intensive, and to take...

  11. Is Nursing school Hard?

    nohika replied to klott86's topic in General Students

    From what I understand (I'm pre-nursing myself, but know several nurses), it retrains your mind by re-programming and intensifying basically your critical thinking skills. You have to be able to (as a...

  12. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

    nohika replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

    My siblings do the same thing - I'll be 19 in August and am just starting my nursing pre-reqs. I get made fun of, people question my motivation, and get told over and over and over and over again that...

  13. what school are you looking into??

    nohika replied to Kaligirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only applying to one college, sadly. xD Clark College in Washington. I've been here for a bit and I love it

  14. too long of a wait? advice needed

    nohika replied to meeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems fairly reasonable to me...it's going to take me a year to get my pre-reqs done, and I'm applying fall of '10 for a start in '11 for a two-year program. I'll either have six-month wait or an...

  15. ADN or accelerated BSN?

    nohika replied to D.Danger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not necessarily - I know different colleges have different requirements. The nursing school I'm applying to has a 5-year rule for all sciences classes - if you took them more then five years ago, you...

  16. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

    nohika replied to zrodriguez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm working on my prerequisites for an ADN reason for several reasons: 1) It takes less time and I can live at home. 2) I can live at home with my family (I'm 18 so at home with my mother and sibs)...

  17. Hard Decision to Make - Any Thoughts?

    nohika replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    I have one thing to say about this with it being so hard to find jobs right out of nursing - you have no idea where the job market will be in two years. As far as we know, it'll clear up and be fine!...

  18. Evening, w/e or www RN programs in Northwest US

    nohika replied to howardrgreenberg's topic in General Nursing

    I live in southern Washington (Vancouver) and really the only ADN nursing program we have in here is Clark College, which typically gets about 400 applicants for the 48 positions in April and about...

  19. NEW and have questions!

    nohika replied to vbmedic52's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your time management skills, honestly. If you have AMAZING time management skills and can fit everything into a schedule, go for it! If you don't...well, it might be beneficial to spread...

  20. Mid Life Change in Career

    nohika replied to ready4anything's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've actually heard that the average age of nursing students is either mid-thirties or higher. You're not gonna be the old one out at your

  21. Anatomy/Physiology Coloring Book

    nohika posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting Anatomy and Physiology in January, though I'm taking a Human Biology course in the fall. Do you think it would be too early for me to get one of the coloring books or flashcards and start...

  22. Anatomy/Physiology Coloring Book

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

    Mixed results...hmm, I think I'll get the coloring book and maybe use it as a "treat" - AKA, I study for my current classes for an hour and can have fifteen minutes browsing through the book and...

  23. Anatomy and Chem this Fall...who else?

    nohika replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not taking them in the fall, but rather Winter (January-March) at my college. 83 Then A&P2 with Microbiology, and then A&P3 with Nutrition. I apply next October. I really have no choice...

  24. Anatomy/Physiology Coloring Book

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

    Thanks! =) I'll probably pick one up once my two hellish (I'm taking statistics and sociology in a four-week block and a five-week block at the same time) classes are over. I'm also getting CNA...

  25. A question about what nursing school covers...

    nohika posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, so I'm currently working on my pre-reqs for Nursing School and doing my AA in the process in case I decide to switch (likely won't, don't plan to). I have a question for RNs/nursing students out...
