  1. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    trae55 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    The schedule is great for moms (3 day a week work schedule). The pay isn't great (it'll be a paycut for me), but it's good pay if you want to work part-time or prn. I may need to do that in the...

  2. what is a good age to be done with school?

    trae55 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    I'll be 35 when I graduate. I probably should have waited a few years so all of my kids would be in school, but I want to do it now. I was in college when I met my husband. He wanted to move out...

  3. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    Maybe it depends on your state? I'm in TX and we have to do everything different, even call our program ADN when everyone else calls it ASN (except CA, I

  4. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    From what I heard, there can only be so many hours in the ADN program so they have more and more classes considered a prereq. I read it on this board from a grad from my school. I was wondering why...

  5. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    trae55 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program and it's a prerequisite. I'm taking it right now and start the program this fall. Well, we have another nursing class (intro to basic care) that's also a prereq that I have to...

  6. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't believe so. I haven't seen too many Montgomery students on here. Most are going to Cy-Fair and North Harris. One good thing about going to Montgomery is that our orientation is only a few...

  8. Am I asking for the impossible??

    trae55 replied to Mommyof3Boys's topic in Texas Nursing

    The hill country is nice. It's not near the ocean, but TX beaches are only decent south of Corpus. Do you get used to the heat and humidity? NO! I've lived here most of my life and I'm still not...

  9. I Need Help With My Pharmacology Exam!

    trae55 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    That's how my tests are, too. Just read, make notes, and go over it a few times. It will start to stick. It helps me to organize my notes so I can start to see the differences in what I'm looking...

  10. Pre-Nursing Student (TX) needs advice on what track to pursue :)

    trae55 replied to FutureNurseJT's topic in General Students

  12. Opinion needed-trads,non-trads and very non-trads

    trae55 replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    There are two groups of annoying people, imo. The ones who talk bad about the teacher, get annoyed about everything we have to do, and complain when they don't do well on a test (it couldn't possibly...

  13. Annoying and disruptive classmates (vent)

    trae55 replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    That sucks! Sorry, but I don't think there's anything you can do except ignore her. I'm amazed she hasn't been talked to yet by the instructor. It sounds like she needs to get a firmer grip on this...

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Or does anyone know if the Fast Track hep B is accepted at Lone Star? My doctor said the soonest I could be done was four months. If you get your first this month you could have them done before the...

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Maybe they're just getting them out late? I just got my second hep b shot. I'll get the last one right before the deadline in July. Have you started

  17. Renal System and Electrolytes

    trae55 replied to LatinainOhio's topic in General Students

    I'm studying this right now. It is confusing on where in the loop of henle everything is absorbed and reabsorbed. I finally just drew a chart. It's for pharm so I'm not even sure we'll be tested on...

  18. Dear future nursing students,

    trae55 replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

    Go ahead and vent away, but I'm honestly not worried about any of those things. Maybe it's age? Someone can sit next to me and brag all day and I would listen with half an ear and a polite smile....

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    From my understanding at the information session all of the applicants are loaded into one database and they are organized according to scores. Each school is given a list of people that made it in...

    trae55 replied to zmojaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    My letter of intent is due back April 7, but that's for Montgomery. I think our letters were mailed out before North Harris's. I can only imagine how frustrated you are! If you don't have a letter...

  24. Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

    trae55 replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    I keep seeing pharmacology come up as something to go over before nursing school starts. I'm taking it right now (actually taking a break from it as I type this) as a prereq. Is it because this is...
