  1. Unwise to get married?

    KristeyK replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sound like you know what you want already. Just talk about the hard stuff PRIOR to marriage. I am a Catholic, and my husband and I were REQUIRED to go through premarital counseling prior to...

  2. Arizona entrance exam help

    KristeyK replied to lilmac81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought the Evolve test guide and it was OK. There were things on the HESI that weren't covered in the guide. (At least as far as conversions go, I only had to take Math, reading, and grammar.) I do...

  3. Which HESI A2 study guide to buy?

    KristeyK replied to TXRN2B13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I do not recall if it had Roman numberals in the book. It did cover grammar for sure. As for military time...here's my CHEAP lesson. Once it gets past 12:59 (ie 13:01) subtract 12 from that...

  4. Which HESI A2 study guide to buy?

    KristeyK replied to TXRN2B13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had that one and did just fine with the exam. The only part I was unhappy with is the fact that my book had NOTHING in there about conversions. (Oz to ml, etc....) Check online and see if you can...

  5. Does anybody else get this from family or friends.....

    KristeyK replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    GO ABERDEEN!!! To the OP... My Aunt is a nurse and has been for about 20 years now. She's also the kind of person that one normally wouldn't "picture as a nurse." However, there isn't anyone else I...

  6. A FUMING MAD VENT!

    KristeyK replied to naenae1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've been offered some GREAT advice! I was also NOT a whiz at Math. I went and bought myself a couple of Algebra workbooks about six months before I took any kind of test. I made sure I could whiz...

  7. how to work in Arizona

    KristeyK replied to EviS123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Interesting article, thanks! I wonder if the BON is going to try to get anything implimented. It'd be nice to know I COULD get a job when I graduate in two years. (I am SERIOUSLY concerned about that....

  8. Pima Medical Institute?

    KristeyK posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are there any grads of the program, or current students who are willing to tell me about their experiences? Yes, I know it is a high dollar program for an ADN, but I want to get done and get out and...

  9. how to work in Arizona

    KristeyK replied to EviS123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The job market in Tucson is a LITTLE more open, depending on what exactly you want to do, and ditto about the new grad jobs. It may be different in more rural areas of the state

  10. Nursing School vs. Family

    KristeyK replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    I have heard the SAME thing. My aunt, who is a nurse, and her niece, both had children while going to get their degrees said it is perfectly doable. (Her niece even just completed her MSN to become a...

  11. Cheap textbook sites?

    KristeyK replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've also bought off of textbooksrus.com. I found out that international editions are the SAME ONES that are sold here in the US, just with different ISBN number and color might be spelled colour....

  12. Everyone Starting Nursing Courses Fall 2010

    KristeyK replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Am I the only one who applied for Fall who will not find out until JUNE? I am going INSANE!!! I should be a shoe-in because I did EXTREMELY well on the testing and interview, but still

  13. Are you a "test-taker" or "paper-writer"

    KristeyK replied to Phlavyah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Paper writer for sure. I'm an OK test taker, but like SingDance, I can write a three page paper in a little over an hour and get an A on it. (I had to write a ten pager that was due last week, took me...

  14. Using layoff to my advantage...Nursing School here I come!

    KristeyK replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck on getting into a nursing program. As for your husband, for what it's worth, many corporations hire people with teaching degrees specifically for their training programs. That may be...

  15. I got accepted to a nursing program, but im about to give up my seat...HELP

    KristeyK replied to RN2BKD's topic in General Students

    I say stay and struggle. You said it all when you said "IF" I get into another program. Why chance

  16. A&P I Jump start

    KristeyK replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all of the tips! I'm taking it as a 10 week course this summer. I already have my books and am going through the first few chapters trying to learn them as well as I can, that way I won't...

  17. HESI entry, I need help , I am going crazy.

    KristeyK replied to hurrlybaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't stress too much either. I have the same book by Evolve and there was not a whole lot on the Reading Comp. part of it. The best advice I could give you is to find something on Google that...

  18. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    KristeyK replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds to me as if she is asking for advice period. Not people questioning whether or not she should have applied in the first place, or people questioning how good daycare is or isn't. We all have...

  19. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    KristeyK replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have not started nursing school quiet yet, but up until a month ago I was a mom who worked outside of the home. (Let's be real here, being a stay-at-home mom IS a full-time job!) I had no choice but...

  20. High debt but want to change careers

    KristeyK replied to mmoton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to add one other thing that no one has mentioned yet regarding the student loans. If you are in school full-time, they put the loan payments on hold until you finish school. You will still...

  21. Graduation Gift

    KristeyK replied to mrosev14's topic in General Students

    Something that would be FREE that my parents would love more than anything is a heart felt, hand written thank you

  22. Nursing at UC vs CSU

    KristeyK replied to r0cky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto...I'm not in CA, but I know the difference there typically is when comparing a UC to a CS. Personally, I'd take what I could get into, even an ASN program. Especially considering one really...

  23. Student Loans

    KristeyK replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try talking to a financial aid counselor at your school, they should be able to help you quite a bit with other means of financing your education. That is what they get paid

  24. U of Arizona Fall 2010 BSN Hopefuls

    KristeyK replied to zx7chelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I could apply there. Unfortunately the mistakes I made the first time around in my college career are still haunting me twenty years later. I had to go back and take just about EVERYTHING over...

  25. Pima Medical Institute

    KristeyK replied to AZMOMO2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah I cannot blame you one bit then. Perhaps the fact that I am down here in Tucson makes a difference. I know they get a lot of applicants for the program, but I do not believe it is anywhere NEAR...
