  1. Holy crap....chemistry? math? MICRObiology? Physiology?

    2ndLife replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Listen, I was a sucky student in high school (family issues, no focus) and bombed out my first time in college (again, no focus). When I finally went back to school, I finally felt focused and even...

  2. PLEASE HELP!! Anyone with advice for taking the TEAS test! I am totally freaking out!

    2ndLife replied to Special Kae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did okay on the TEAS even though it had been a while since I had taken any math, science or english classes. Oddly enough, even though I have a B.S. in biology, the science was the hardest part for...

  3. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like it's safer just to get what you know you need from the uni bookstore. Sure doesn't make me want to spend anything on the recommended texts, though.

  4. Anyone familiar with Montgomery College Nursing program

    2ndLife replied to nsrs2005's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They say that the in order to be competitive, you have to have completed the courses before applying. I already tried that once and didn't get accepted. But I also didn't realize I needed to take...

  5. Scared of Microbiology ... Advice?

    2ndLife replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. When I was getting my B.S., I didn't think I'd enjoy Micro but I LOVED it! I would have loved to have worked with the CDC, hunting bugs. I found it much easier than almost any...

  6. Who's taking A&P 1 this fall?

    2ndLife replied to SummerMeadow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My schedule is finalized: A&P I, Chemistry, Nutrition and Growth & Development. I also work full-time and am a single mom. However, the child remaining at home will be 18 in January and...

  7. Anyone familiar with Montgomery College Nursing program

    2ndLife replied to nsrs2005's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I took a chance and applied without having taken A&P, which I'll be taking this Fall (both I and II - yes, I'm masochistic). I know they say that they won't look at apps unless you've finished...

  8. Georgetown U. Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

    2ndLife replied to JLSELD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will probably be applying for Fall 2010. I'm still working on pre-requisites. I'm also considering other schools, as well. Although the scholarship through WHC sounds great, I'll soon be an...

  9. Single Moms

    2ndLife replied to BabyCatchr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been a teacher so I know what you mean about the L-O-O-N-N-G hours. Everyone thinks that your day is done at 3:00 p.m. but I can't tell you how late at night I worked on lesson plans and...

  10. Anyone familiar with Montgomery College Nursing program

    2ndLife replied to nsrs2005's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Lsnow: Are you taking classes this fall or have you finished all the

  11. BRAND NEW HERE!! Need a little help, please? :)

    2ndLife replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I don't know about Harford or other counties but it seems that most counties in my area (Montgomery/Frederick/Howard) give preference to county residents. And as it turns out, there are usually...

  12. Anyone familiar with Montgomery College Nursing program

    2ndLife replied to nsrs2005's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm waiting to hear about Spring admission. I would love to know more about how classes and clinicals work. Looking at the class schedule is no help since it doesn't give much information about...

  13. Advice needed: yea or nay to nursing??

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really need everyone's two cents on this one. The basics are: 1. I'm 54, soon-to-be empty nester 2. I have a bachelor's in biology, minor in chemistry from waaaay back 3. I've worked in the...

  14. Advice needed: yea or nay to nursing??

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! It's good to hear from someone else trying to deal with the "what do I want to be when I grow up" question. And you still have a child at home!! I wish I could find a program like yours...

  15. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

    2ndLife replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will probably be taking A&P I and II this fall. I've taken A&P in the past but the credits are too old for NS purposes so I have to repeat. I found A&P to be mostly about memorization....

  16. Taking prereqs and applying spring 2010 for fall 2010

    2ndLife replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm kind of undecided. I keep waffling on whether or not I feel I'm up to the challenge of nursing. But as of now I'm registered for A&PI, A&PII, Chemistry, Nutrition and Growth &...

  17. Do you think this was rude?

    2ndLife replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to put things in perspective. This is a high school and the registrar is used to dealing with teenagers. As a former high school teacher, and unfortunate as it may be, the staff is used to...

  18. Already have Bachelor's - what would you do?

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may be beating a dead horse, but I'm really conflicted about what course to take. I'm one of those "golden, oldie, moldie" students and am plotting a course for a second career in nursing. Many...

  19. Finances while in NS

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I *hope* I will be starting nursing school this Spring (and if not this Spring, then next Fall). I am single so the only source of income is my own. I will need to work while going to school to...

  20. CNL - is there a place for them

    2ndLife posted a topic in General Students

    I'm going to be getting more information about this at an info session, but am hoping someone here can enlighten me. One of the schools I'm considering has a CNL (Certified Nurse Leader) option for...

  21. UMB Shady Grove

    2ndLife posted a topic in General Students

    Would love to hear from anyone who is currently a student at UMB - Shady Grove or has been accepted. I will be attending an upcoming info session about the traditional BSN as well as the CNL. But...

  22. What are idea work hours/days while in Nursing School

    2ndLife replied to rholman's topic in General Students

    Is it difficult to get a CNA job if you are not already certified and are just starting nursing school? I don't have any such work experience so I'm wondering if there is something I can do to become...

  23. Defaulted student loans years past, Will I still qualify?

    2ndLife replied to rainingwoman's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the clarification re: "database." That what I meant when I referred to student loan history. My school checked the database and found a previously defaulted loan that I had paid. They...

  24. Organizing applications

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'm going to be applying to at least 4 schools. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the pre-req, application requirements, deadlines, transcript orders straight? I'm usually the...

  25. Already have Bachelor's - what would you do?

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for mentioning the RN to MSN option. I hadn't even thought about it. I checked out several of the schools in the area and they all offer this option, most of them on a part-time basis. It...
