  1. How Many Hours Of Studing Required For A&P1?

    moma8gma1 replied to Ayvasmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were advised to study 20+ hours a week, however we wanted to break it down (2-3 hrs a

  2. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    moma8gma1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Actually, I don't very often at all. Still, I expect any patients I would have (in the future, as I'm still a student) would expect me to walk my talk, and not appear to be unhealthy if I was...

  3. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    moma8gma1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    To the OP: I'm sorry you're being made to feel like a pariah for a habit, but I can imagine your fellow nursing students questioning your commitment to working/serving in a health care profession when...

  4. Asking for a change of grade

    moma8gma1 replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, Butteryfly. I'm pretty much tethered to my current location with 6 kids still at home (Northern CA.) If that wasn't the case, I'd be open to the idea of moving to a more "nursing school...

  5. Asking for a change of grade

    moma8gma1 replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished my last pre-reg: A&P2, earning my first C in almost 30 years (all A's and B's since) and it has knocked me out of the running for nursing school. (In my community college...

  6. what would you do?

    moma8gma1 replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Chem teacher mentioned several times that former students told him about what concepts were on the TEAS. He's say "Really focus on this -- I hear it is sometimes on the TEAS..." So, with that...

  7. How bad is an "F" for a science course

    moma8gma1 replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I advise discussing your options with a counselor at your school. Can a retake "forgive" or expunge that F from your record? It works that way at my school. (I don't understand the wisdom in...

  8. BSN-MSN in CA; Impacted?

    moma8gma1 replied to Candice<3EMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are able to relocate, you could apply to other JC lotteries. CSU-Sacramento's info night told everyone to take ANY spot you could get into a nursing program. "We have NO wait list for our...

  9. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    moma8gma1 replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And my son's dog is named Copper, as well! So... you could voice your opinion privately to your teacher, since you missed the opportunity to speak up when she asked the class. (Be bolder, girl --...

  10. Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    moma8gma1 replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also struggled through Chem, so you're not alone. I enjoyed what I understood, but was frustrated when I couldn't "get it." I felt so stupid, until I realized that my classmates who were earning...

  11. Is this realistic?

    moma8gma1 replied to Humanatarian123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVE your plan! :) As long as your mom is willing, moving in with her is a great idea! It is the best possible thing for your son, and there are more and more families sharing living space right...

  12. Has A & P been difficult for you? I feel really dumb!

    moma8gma1 replied to Butterfly0328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem is required in my area before you can enroll in A&P I & II. If it is not required in your area, they must not think their A&P classes cover much chem (though ours does.) I'd take it...

  13. Has A & P been difficult for you? I feel really dumb!

    moma8gma1 replied to Butterfly0328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, too, am an older returning student, and am having a terrible time in A&PII. I got a B in A&PI, but now... I'm barely hanging on to a C. Despite getting a B in Chem, I don't understand all...

  14. So frustrated and sad..

    moma8gma1 replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What city/state are you in? No school in my area will accept your application if you have any C's in the sciences.

  15. I am an American.

    moma8gma1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why haven't we heard from the OP since she started this thread? I'd love an update!

  16. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    moma8gma1 replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    Your questions might find more responses on one of the other boards where working RNs are reading/posting. (Many, if not most, of us here are pre-nursing students, so aren't yet in the field working...

  17. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    moma8gma1 replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, we DO learn things along the way, don't we? I wasn't very mature in my 20's either. Life's lessons can't be bought, but must be learned first-hand. I agree, too, that everyone adds something....

  18. Pre-nurse student has 3 (c) on transcript

    moma8gma1 replied to ellergirl44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The programs in my area require a B average in the sciences -- so if you earned a C in A&P2, an A in A&P1 will balance out to a B. The Psych grade of a C isn't as important as your sciences....

  19. OVERWHELMED....need advice!!

    moma8gma1 replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you formed a study group? That might help. Also, it has been my experience that the first test in a class is almost a throwaway -- you don't know how the instructor's exams are, or how he/she...

  20. I want to be a RN but don't want to deal, with you know...

    moma8gma1 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    Before you discontinue your nursing education: if you really feel that your rotations "messed you up emotionally," you might want to consider speaking to a counselor at your nursing school about your...

  21. I want to be a RN but don't want to deal, with you know...

    moma8gma1 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine who is a hospice nurse told me that she finds the work very rewarding, after I asked if it was hard or depressing to work with/for people who are dying. She found great fulfillment...

  22. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    moma8gma1 replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can totally see that! When I was a young 23, in labor with my first baby, the attending doc came in, and my jaw almost dropped to the floor -- he looked to be about MY age! I was NOT happy or put...

  23. I just got my Acceptance Letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    moma8gma1 replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you're not tired of congrats... but, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I got teary reading your post -- I'm ALWAYS thrilled for fellow pre-nursing students who actually get spots in programs. It is VERY...

  24. Any advice? starting school in a month.

    moma8gma1 replied to angeloa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVE your attitude! Your patients are fortunate to have such a committed nurse caring for them.

  25. I am an American.

    moma8gma1 replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny how we haven't heard from the OP since she started this thread... was this possibly a hypothetical
