  1. NET test score

    Roseyposey replied to maggijo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No science or vocabulary, per se. The test is broken down into math and reading. The math is straight-forward, lots of decimals and fractions, a little basic algebra - order of operations stuff....

  2. HPV vaccine on the horizon

    Roseyposey replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't see why it would be necessary for the child to know what the vaccination is for. Do we explain the purpose of every vaccine to our children? Maybe I'm in the minority, but all my children...

  3. Colorado Advice Please

    Roseyposey replied to brandy119's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hey, if you're interested in this part of the country, have you considered Wyoming? I'm about a 75 minute drive from Boulder, a starter home won't cost you $300,000 (while beautiful, Boulder is $$),...

  4. Nursing School: There's No Guarantee!?!

    Roseyposey replied to prissy pixie's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing I would do is find out how the selections are made. My school had ~150 applicants for 58 slots this semester, but I knew I would be accepted. How? Because I "stacked the deck." A...

  5. Is this code for "you passed" ?

    Roseyposey replied to cookie78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used to work for a licensing board (engineers), and that's pretty much how I would handle it. I would tell them I couldn't give out test results over the phone, but that whether or not a person was...

  6. chicken pox vaccine not full proof

    Roseyposey replied to got2luvnights's topic in Pediatric

    All three of my children had the vaccine, and one got the chicken pox not too long ago. However, it wasn't bad at all - about 20 spots on her whole body, no scabs, and she generally felt

  7. WOOHOO $$ for School!!

    Roseyposey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :balloons: Break out the wine and cut the cheese! I have been getting very frustrated trying to finance my education without putting my family in hawk up to our eyeballs. Having a 4.0 doesn't help...

  10. WOOHOO $$ for School!!

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I followed the federal link to KY, and this is what I found - good luck.

  11. WOOHOO $$ for School!!

    Roseyposey replied to Roseyposey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's actually a federal program administered by the state, so you might look into it within your state government. It's called something like the Workforce Reinvestment Act; basically if you're...

  12. Raising a 3.5 GPA to a 4.0 ???

    Roseyposey replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tweety's right, it would be mathematically impossible to raise it to a 4.0 by taking more courses. However, are you able to repeat the courses? My college will let you repeat for a higher grade....

  13. Acceptance Rates / GPA Questions

    Roseyposey replied to firefighter81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Wyoming, and the school I'm attending does things (IMO) very fairly. They take all the classes required for the degree (ADN), set aside the nursing classes, and use all the remaining classes to...

    Roseyposey replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

  15. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    Roseyposey replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    "no matter how hard we try we cannot save the child that we were." Oh my gosh...this statement has me speechless - I am going to do some deep, introspective thinking on

  16. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    Roseyposey replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, me too. My mother and her husband are alcoholics, she's severely depressed. My biodad is/was distant and emotionally unavailable. I was told I was stupid, fat, an "animal", etc. I was constantly...

  17. I'd like to hear from other Wyo nurses

    Roseyposey replied to viking woman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an RN program. This was your first trip to Denver? I hope you had fun! I love to run away from home for the day to Denver. The lower downtown area has come along so nicely in the last ten...

  20. Memorizing vs. understanding

    Roseyposey replied to nursestudentin05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't memorize nonsense; I have to understand the material. I've learned if I look at the bigger picture, the details fill themselves in. I know anatomy is mostly memorization, but I found if I...

  21. Who else is taking/has taken Microbiology??

    Roseyposey replied to galaxy781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One more test in Micro, one more test in Micro!!! Yay! I'm a little excited to be done, can you tell? I need about a 55% on this test to keep my "A". I'm sorry, germs, but I'm not gonna miss...

  22. Who else is taking/has taken Microbiology??

    Roseyposey replied to galaxy781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is my all-time least-favorite science class. I can't wait until it's over. The instructor sits there and reads her notes to us and doesn't do it very well at that. She screws up a lot of the...

  23. End of Semester blues??????

    Roseyposey replied to MryRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I hear ya. I keep vacillating between stressing and not caring. My Micro teacher has goofed around all semester - letting us go early and discussing her personal life, so now it's crunch time;...

  24. Oh WHY do people have to be so nasty?

    Roseyposey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, maybe I'm having an extra sensitive sort of day....But, I get a call from the doc's office where I'm getting my immunizations for school (not my normal doc who doesn't do immunizations...thanks,...
