  1. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    Justanotherday replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    Well, Pottery 1 does at my school. They incorporate some history into the class and there is a required research project so we have to do presentations the last day of class. Not all the art classes...

  2. Do you donate blood?

    Justanotherday replied to pna2388's topic in General Students

    I do not, but I am a plasma donor, which I understand is used a lot in NICUs and burn centers. Not many people can receive my blood type (A-) so my plasma is more useful, and I am paid $55/week to...

    Justanotherday replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work at a large retail store and we have to take mandatory 15 minute breaks, too, plus clock out for 30 minutes if we work over 6 hours. They make it sound like they are following a labor law, but...

  8. Can I vent to you guys?

    Justanotherday replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aw, I'm sorry! I would say, "Well, Mom, if I'm accepted this January, I will be done at the end of next year and will graduate by Christmas. (or whatever the time frame is)" If she seems to want to...

    Justanotherday replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Justanotherday replied to corinth13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Frederick Community College?

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Pottery is one of the art classes offered in the Arts & Humanities section and they offer it as a 5 week session during the summer so I thought it would be a good time to get it out of the way....

    Justanotherday replied to sch983's topic in General Students

    Justanotherday replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    I was at a doctor's office recently and I noticed the front desk lady had a skin colored "sleeve" covering her arm. I didn't notice it right away, as it matched her skin color very well. I assume...

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Justanotherday replied to lhorn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am not a nurse, so I am interested in the replies. But one of my kids was on a feeding tube for 4 years (g-tube w/feeding pump). He needed about 1,000 calories/day, and his supplement has 355...

  16. Unwise to get married?

    Justanotherday replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see why being married would interfere with nursing school....to me it seems like dating would be harder to "fit in". But if you are married, you and hubby can be home in the evenings and you...

    You need one PE credit, and the website (have you looked at the nursing prereq flow chart? http://www.frederick.edu/download/programs/flowchart.pdf) recommends PE 108 (Body Mechanics). During the...

  20. Do I have to be done with all of my pre-reqs before applying to nursing school?

    Justanotherday replied to Steff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Justanotherday replied to jenniepaige's topic in Maryland Nursing
