  1. Surviving and PASSING A&P

    jennylouwho replied to pedcancersurvivor89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out what your professor expects. Ours the first day of class said that her exams were from her notes, we were to use to book for back up reference. I studies her notes religiously. Rewrite the...

  2. Rate your professors!!!

    jennylouwho replied to RangeinPlace's topic in General Students

    I've used it and still use it. As others have said, I don't use it as the end all, be all. Rather, I read comments. If someone is complaining about a professor, they are not taken seriously by me...

  3. Access LPN-RN no wait list Fall 11'!!!

    jennylouwho replied to cLmPdN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Someone asked what bio121 is - it's A&P 1.

  4. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    jennylouwho replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi there! I was on the list for two years and am finally starting (a week and a half - squeeeee!). The Counselor will push you to take classes for Akron (since they partner with them), but look...

  5. baby and nursing school

    jennylouwho replied to wantobnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My youngest will be six months when I start and my other two will be 5 and 3 (well, a month later in September). I know it will be difficult. I'll be pumping more than I have had to with the other...

  6. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Understandable! Good luck, when will they let you know if they're going to have enough students to offer the program? Two weeks until orientation day for

  7. microbiology or physiology during 6wk summer?

    jennylouwho replied to MegC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did Micro during a summer 8 week course. I wouldn't attempt to do A&P during the summer - there is way too much that you really need to

  8. financial aid - second degree student

    jennylouwho replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband had to do this when he went back to school. It was quite painless to file the appeal and he was granted it because he could show how much longer it was going to take to finish that degree...

  9. Pregnancy in nursing program

    jennylouwho replied to naomiomio's topic in General Students

    6-12 months in a deep freeze. 3-6 months in a regular freezer that is part of a refrigerator unit. 3-7 days in the refrigerator. I hope you plan on breastfeeding as well, exclusively pumping is very,...

  10. Pregnancy in nursing program

    jennylouwho replied to naomiomio's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting nursing school when my baby is six months old. It's earlier than I've left my older children, but it was a surprise pregnancy. I've continued taking classes during my whole...

  11. Overheard "You're there to make money, not to talk," in clinical

    jennylouwho replied to JustaNrsgStudent's topic in General Students

    When I was seeing an OB, very rarely did my appointments last 15 minutes, but I would wait for several hours to see her. With my last pregnancy, I went to a midwife practice and what a refreshing...

  12. Moving from pre-nursing into nursing, how are you getting prepared!!

    jennylouwho replied to adorable42181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to freshen up my A&P since it's been since fall 09 and spring 10 since I've taken them a few weeks before I start. I might also look at the math nursing modules that the school has...

  13. Online classes. Yay or Nay?

    jennylouwho replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken everything online but my sciences to date. It's not really an at your own pace, so much as do it whenever you want by X due date. Which is really the same as a traditional classroom -...

  14. Any and all advice is welcome!!

    jennylouwho replied to Justin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make a list of schools that you'll be apply for (BSN). Set up an excel spreadsheet with their requirements (pre-reqs and co-reqs) so that you can try to hit all of those. It make sit easier to...

  15. How long does it take to get a traditional BSN?

    jennylouwho replied to eminthesr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends upon how the college is set up. You usually can't double up on nursing courses, so if there are nursing courses for four years, it's pretty much four years unless that school allows...

  16. Confused on what classes i should take first

    jennylouwho replied to DENISERONALDPOLITE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you get the class over with sooner, however, that's because you're condensing the same amount of material into a shorter time period. Honestly, I took Micro in a summer and it was hard to find...

  17. Learning Disability and Getting Into A Program!

    jennylouwho replied to unionnurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's your total GPA that you need to increase, it's time to find some classes to take that will bump that GPA up for you - I found Sociology to be very easy and interesting. I took a Humanities...

  19. Scholarship

    jennylouwho replied to igus2666's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look around your local community. Are you attending a private school or public school? Most public schools have a list of scholarships that are available to their students - my local community...

  20. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There's not a wait at main campus for that either -from what I've seen of the nurses that I know that are bridging now. The year plus long waits come from wanting in either the LPN or the RN

  21. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats, Steve! cLmPdN - is that for the LPN program? I wasn't aware that they were doing an RN program out

  22. Any adn nurse programs across the country that have little to no waitlist w/o being a

    jennylouwho replied to WhatItTakes1290's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck in your quest to find a college that doesn't have a waitlist AND isn't competitive. I have been on the waiting list at my CC since 8/09. I got my acceptance letter a few weeks back and will...

  23. Full Time Nursing Student with a Full Time Job

    jennylouwho replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's possible, especially since you're single without kids! I think it would be very difficult for me, with three young kids to get a full time job though - I already have one with the kids,...

  24. Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    jennylouwho replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    I see newly postpartum women in a breastfeeding support group who have gotten the Dtap in the hospital and many of them have reactions, huge welts. Personally, I've done more than one shot at a time...

  25. LPN or RN?

    jennylouwho replied to magichospital's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I agree, go for the RN first. At my local CC the wait is less for the RN program (1.5 to 2 years) than it is for the LPN program. The counselor told me that it's because people don't want to...
