  1. What I should do?

    mangopeach replied to aloneinLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to find out what you need to have done from the nursing school/s you plan to apply to. You don't need to have a degree to apply to nursing school. You need certain classes (pre-reqs) to...

  2. Going back to school after 9 years

    mangopeach replied to bluechip's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP- Save this site in your faves now! - Khanacademy.org It is the best source out there for math and science help. Their vids break down things so simply. For A&P, go to youtube and look...

  3. Going back to school after 9 years

    mangopeach replied to bluechip's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may have to redo some of those sciences - They have an "expiration date" for many schools. At my school it was 10 years. I'm glad I took A&P again though because I had forgotten a lot of...

  4. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    mangopeach replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    Ahh this thread came to mind today. I've been single for a while so I've really been able to just focus on school. Recently met a really nice guy, but unfortunately, he doesn't get it and I don't...

  5. Drug Cards are Lame!!

    mangopeach replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    They know. Maybe my school is a lot less strict about this than others. We students have a discussion section on our school site that is monitored. The purpose is not to just copy someone else's work....

  6. Drug Cards are Lame!!

    mangopeach replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Yes this is approved by my school and its in plain view for them to see. All drug sheets are uploaded via message board on the same school site where we access our info online for classes. Our drug...

  7. Drug Cards are Lame!!

    mangopeach replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I won't say they are lame, but I feel you on the back aches,neck cramps, tired eyes,tired hands and all that. My class recently decided to set up a sharing network. Maybe that might cut down on the...

    mangopeach replied to tnearthmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. My situation, what should I do? :(

    mangopeach replied to Band's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you will need more than just clinicals. Pre-reqs are not nursing classes. Nursing classes will consist of classes like Nursing Fundamentals,Pathophysiology,Med Surg,...

  10. 100% heart and about 78-80% brain..is there a chance for me in nursing

    mangopeach replied to isthereachance4me's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really cannot compare nursing school to pre-reqs. Sure enough, some people with very high GPAs come in to nursing school and struggle. I've also seen the opposite of that, people that came in with...

  11. Tips for passing clinical tests?

    mangopeach replied to jerep's topic in General Students

    Me too! LOL Nothing against CNAs, thank goodness this is not a requirement for my program. Anyhoo, 60 students in my program down from 62, 2 failed out already. Guess what, one of them worked as a PT...

  12. Tips for passing clinical tests?

    mangopeach replied to jerep's topic in General Students

    We had to watch a video on bedmaking. Its not one of our skills that we have to check off on though. But for future checkoffs, do you have lab practice time and are instructors available during lab?...

  16. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    mangopeach replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. A couple of days ago, there was a thread in the nurses section about why I love LTC. It was quite refreshing to read. I don't know what direction I want to take my career yet, and I know the...

  17. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    mangopeach replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yawn! Ya know, I wish when people made these threads, instead of telling us that the sky is falling on nursing. How about telling us which field we ought to be training for

    mangopeach replied to mommy2babies's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hello Adorable, I have lecture Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9-11:50. For the first week we were in class pretty much all day. Clinicals are every other week- Thursdays and Fridays 7 am to 3pm. Next...

  23. Why I love LTC

    mangopeach replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, refreshing reading this after so many posts I've read not to go LTC when you start out. This is my first semester of nursing school so I'm still not sure of the direction I want to go when I'm...

  24. Acceptance Letters

    mangopeach replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school does not keep a wait list. They send out acceptance and denials. If you get a large envelope, you can bet its an acceptance. A regular envelope = a

  25. School asks for private info?

    mangopeach replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    Wow. That seems weird. I go to school in Georgia and my school never asked for that kind of info. Aside from immunizations and TB, the only other thing was whether or not you had suffered from a...
