  1. Pregnant nursing student/worried

    And what if the baby comes early? That throws off your week to recover from a CS. I had a CS with my first and my OB wouldn't even clear me to drive for two weeks, no way would she have cleared me to...
  2. Business Associates to BSN Nursing at CSU?

    You can take your pre read and then apply for CSU. Once you have all pre reqs and start, the program is three years. The info on which classes transfer is on their website. It will be more money, but...
  3. Well, that's what they say, but you will always hear if someone in that isn't done with support classes. I'm not sure how it happens! There is someone in my class who still needs a and p 2. She said...
  4. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    They told us to wear the lab coat to clinical, so who knows, lol. All I know is add two labs per week, plus practice and clinical and it would be nice to have a spare.:) You can put it on other...
  5. Letters went out for spring. You might get a call, so answer any calls that come through. When they have someone decline, they will call down the list until someone answers the phone and can come to...
  6. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    Oh,'if you have access to the nursing videos on angel you can watch some of
  7. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    You can buy plain white shoes. Not sure if you should buy books now, who knows what they might change. You can certainly buy notebooks. Each syllabus will take up one, they're massive. If you don't...
  8. Painless labor?

    Contractions are said to be easier with intact membranes. I have had (in this order), a CS, a lovely labor that was fine but I was scared into the epi despite no horrible pain, then with my third,, my...
  9. medication to dry up breast milk?

    Ps- someone mentioned they couldn't nurse because their babies were highly allergic, which is pretty poor advice someone must have given her. I'm nursing a baby with multiple intolerances (the GI doc...
  10. medication to dry up breast milk?

    None of the old wives tales recs worked for me when we lost our 2 day old. I had milk, although the inflammation was only there for a few days. At seven weeks when I started clomid (also used to...
  11. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

    I posted in this thread a long time ago. Guess who got unexpectedly pregnant while taking her last core class? Yeah, me, lol. I started nursing school with a six month old. Another classmate had a...
  12. True. But as long as they have to wait, it's worth the time to learn how to take these tests.
  13. Become an STNA while in RN school?

    The professormsigns a paper, two of my classmates did it. It's a 16 week class and they had to be through so much before they could do
  14. I agree that may work for some professors, and for my Clinical Reasoning and Assessment class it works great (along with reading anything in boxes!). For my Intro to Nursing Fundamentals (I think...
  15. Become an STNA while in RN school?

    I think you don't even have to go through the entire first semester, at least at LCCC, it's only like the first
  16. LOL, my prior post about the length of the list, should have said list and not lust. Auto correct using my itouch,
  17. I'm doing okay! I wish I could say the same for all my classmates. Some have had trouble with nursing style questions. While you wait, you should check out a book on taking nursing exams. The...
  18. Ugh, I'm sorry you are having issues with enrollment services. It's a joke to talk with an advisor, the counselor was most accurate for me. Everyone I know that was accepted for spring only waited a...
  19. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    Congrats! It seems like the wait times have come down drastically. I know several who have been accepted for spring and no one waited two years like myself and most of my classmates! I am in 115 now....
  20. LCCC transfer to Tri-C

    Nope, the Chem won't count at Tri-C. And you can't apply until you have that Chem, so you likely wouldn't get into the fall class next year, rather the spring class. And you might get into LCCCs...
  21. LCCC transfer to Tri-C

    Have you checked into CSU's program? Once you have all of the support courses done (and you'll have most of them), it's only three years of clinicals. If I didn't have young kids, I would have opted...
  22. Snickers- I made it through his micro in the summer, while pregnant - I was falling asleep all the time, lol. Remember the essays will save you! Just put something related to it, even if you're not...
  23. So, when you go to orientation, you have to choose between 16 different clinical assignments - you rate them in preference, 1-16. So, your 114, 114 lab, 115, 115 lab and 115 clinical are all bundled...
  24. We are in week 4 which is the first big week, so it is busy! Clinicals start this week (we've just been practicing in the lab during our clinical time), quiz in one class, exam in the other, skill...
  25. ADN class of 2013

    I start this Monday! So excited! :) I've been waiting for two years, so it's awesome to finally get going. My bookstore purchases were somewhere around $1k I'd imagine. I might have to pick up...
