  1. microbiology or physiology during 6wk summer?

    zbb13 replied to MegC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take micro. You don't need it as much as physio, and there is less to memorize. It isn't easy, though. I took it as a summer course, but not a 6 week

  2. A Pre-nursing Student who believes...

    zbb13 replied to digoe74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was 19, I entered a Practical Nursing program. I was giving my first patient (extremely obese, incontinent, organic brain disease) a commode shower, against her wishes (the nursing instructor...

  3. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    zbb13 replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Twelve more days, and then D Day (Decision day). I have been waiting so darn long. This whole process has been a giant rollercoaster ride, from beginning to end. A lot of that has to do with the...

    I feel exactly the same. I was pretty much 100% sure I would get in. Now, who

  5. Semester is than half over- How is everyone doing?

    zbb13 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am on my last class and waiting to hear from nursing school. I'm taking A&P II. I have a really strong A, studying like crazy, but I'm getting kinda tired of the prerequisites and...

  6. Got offered my dream job today...

    zbb13 replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the job. I don't think you can rely on your sister....a young child and twins on the way is not easy at all. However, you can figure other ways of handling this, and there must be...

  7. Biology Prerequisites

    zbb13 replied to Clever Username's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how you can understand body function (physiology) without the anatomy to help you figure out how it all fits into the larger picture. I think it's crucial that we all understand body...

  8. Starting BSN in 2 months

    zbb13 replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting to hear if I got in. If I did, I will be so excited, but I know doubts will set in, because they already are...I'm mostly worried about being incompetent at Clinicals. And messing up....

  9. Calling residents affectionate names?

    zbb13 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    This post reminds me of a time when my Mom was in the hospital (hospice care) in Canada and one of the nurses there was extremely "familiar" with her. When the nurse came by in the morning, she asked...

  10. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    zbb13 replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Four weeks to the day...I think. We were told April 1, now it is May 2. Four weeks feels like so loooong.....groan.....and since they have now changed the criteria for acceptance (and nobody has any...

    zbb13 replied to djsolji's topic in General Students

    Truman College (Chicago Community College)

  12. Dual social work/RN program?

    zbb13 replied to katulka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BSW, and I am hoping to start a RN program in the Fall. I think I will have many more options than if I went to MSW next. Also, I am doing my Associates rather than BSN, so the cost will be...

  13. How are second degree students paying for school?

    zbb13 replied to Loloberry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was unable to get any grants due to the same problem. I am taking my classes slowly, one a semester, so we can spread out the payments (our of our pockets). Once I am in the Nursing Program, I...

  15. Got my rejection letter today..

    zbb13 replied to tnearthmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really feel bad for you. I know how that "idling" feels, as I have been doing it this year. Good luck, whatever decision you make. I hope it turns out well for

  16. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    zbb13 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My sister's an architect. 60% of architects are currently unemployed. Her firm gets tons of resumes every week, and the architects applying are asking for half of what they made before (they weren't...

  17. Truman Nursing Application Extension

    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

    To add to the above---it isn't a waste, sure you will have to take them. But some of us have now finished, or will be finishing our last class, and there is NOTHING else to take while we are waiting....

    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I sometimes wish I could leave, too. What school have you applied to,

    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

    :banghead: Well, to everyone who reads these, swaying from one emotion to another as I have been the last few weeks, I now retract anything and everything I said previously. It appears that the...

  20. Truman Nursing Application Extension

    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Do you think they realize that Chicago is actually quite a large city? Daley isn't exactly fifteen minutes from Truman. That part of the argument is the most incomprehensible,

  21. Going back to school after 9 years

    zbb13 replied to bluechip's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I redid all of my sciences. I didn't redo Math and English. I took them all a long time ago. I really enjoyed the science classes (other than Chemistry torture), and I learned so much. It really...

  23. Truman Nursing Application Extension

    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Two things will be considered: GPA on three prerequisites (Intro to Chem and Bio, and Math) and Compass Reading test. That's it..... so instead of competing against approximately 550 people at...

  24. Which is better, a B- or a W?

    zbb13 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    If you have a high GPA, why would a "W" be interpreted negatively????? It always pays to withdraw really quickly from classes one

  25. Who's still waiting?

    zbb13 replied to ksm84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting. We were supposed to hear on or after April 1, but now it has been pushed back to May
