  1. I Think I am NOT Going to NS

    KristeyK replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Sorry, just go into radiology already. As a pp said, if you REALLY want to be a nurse you'd do

  2. Immunization Records

    KristeyK replied to tisgemuh's topic in General Students

    It depends on how long it has been since you've gotten the shots. I know my school wanted proof of immunization which required me to get boosters on a few of them. Get a copy of your records and have...

  3. have you taken any of these classes online: Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology

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

    I was working toward a bachelor's degree online and I have taken all three of these online, and they were all five weeks classes. It is TOTALLY doable. They're 101 classes, so nothing that requires a...

  4. Work part-time, Volunteer, go to Nursing school and a be class leader? Am I crazy?

    KristeyK replied to Angels_wearScrubs's topic in General Students

    Yup...delegation. Plus, if you're remotely like I am, things get done better and faster when you're busier. For instance, I am ALL ABOUT kicking butt and taking names when I am getting my rear end...

  5. What is best? Living at home or getting an apartment while in nursing??

    KristeyK replied to Stargazn03's topic in General Students

    I'm with Juliannehola...live at home. It sucks living with your parents past 20 or 21, but it's a good sacrifice. You could be living at home while not spending so much money on something you do not...

  6. Why nursing?

    KristeyK replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    Why nursing? I like the idea of BEING there for people. After taking care of my mother-in-law and father-in-law during their last days, I realized I really was cut out for this. (Although I do not...

  7. I Think I am NOT Going to NS

    KristeyK replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    If you really and truly feel like you want to be a nurse, then suck it up and deal with it. Unprofessional staff members? They'll teach you how to deal with it in the real world then. Exit exams?...

  8. Electives...Easy A or something I'll ACTUALLY use!???

    KristeyK replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I say go with your gut. I've done both options, and have gotten things out of both. My easy A's were reserved for when I was already loaded with time consuming classes, so they served the purpose of...

  9. ADN, bachelor or master degree?

    KristeyK replied to cloudy817's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would consider what kind of career path you would like to take with your advanced degree as to whether or not you choose a private school over a public university. If you are interested in the admin...

  10. Accelerated Nursing Schools

    KristeyK replied to bsac05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a TON of accelerated programs out there. All three state univserities here in Arizona offer them, as does Grand Canyon University, and they're all decent programs. U of A here in Tucson is...

  11. Done with prereqs but can't get accepted!

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

    I PROMISE I don't mean to sound snitty, but... They really don't require an advanced math class there??? I would definitely look at doing that. If you decide in the future to go on to your BSN, you'll...

  12. Prof gave me better grade than I deserved?

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

    What if the questions were weighted differently? I know in a LOT of my exams one question may be worth 1 pt, while others will be worth 3 or 4. Maybe you got partial credit? Ask away, but like someone...

  13. Online Psychology class

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

    I took it as a five week course online. It was a piece of cake. Everyone learns differently, but I can tell you I am SO GLAD I did not take it in a physical campus setting as a regular class, it would...

  14. PMI Question

    KristeyK replied to cori.contreras's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not yet, but I did JUST finish getting all my ducks in a row for paying for it. Financial aid covered a VAST majority of it. I had to take out a 5k private loan to pay for it. (It would have been...

  15. Tucson Nurses/ students, How did /do you find sick child care??

    KristeyK replied to AniraP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What side of town do you live on? I used to have a lady around 22nd/Wilmot behind the Jim Click dealership there. If you're remotely close to that location, I can see if I can find her number for you....

  16. Northern AZ U vs. U of A??

    KristeyK replied to Boy-->RN2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    UA is supposed to be in the top 10 in the country for Nursing schools. Otherwise, I could not tell you the difference. (However, as a U of A alumni with a non BSN degree, I'd tell you to go there! )...

  17. Going to school when you have kids?

    KristeyK replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I haven't started my actual nursing progra yet, I have been working full time while taking full time classloads. You just deal with it. You will get VERY good with time management VERY fast. I...

  18. RN to BSN vs RN to MSN

    KristeyK replied to hopeful1217's topic in General Students

    It depends on what you want to do once you. There are some areas that require you to get the BSN before getting the certification. (Such as CRNA.) If you want to get into education or administration,...

  19. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    KristeyK replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    Right now, I think I am leaning toward pediatric oncology or midwife. I have a few friends who have sadly lost their children to cancer, and I would love to be there with these AMAZING kids. BUT...I...

  20. Is this the career of an RN?!

    KristeyK replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    What's it to them if she's not cut out for NS? Not being cut out for NS pretty much means not being cut out for nursing. What on Earth is going to happen if she NEVER gets over the fear of poop or...

  21. Online A&P

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

    One more thing I should add... Online classes can be a difficult thing. I have been going to school online for two years now and the one thing I have learned is that you ONLY get out of them what you...

  22. Online A&P

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

    I promise anything I say here is NOT meant to be taken in a snarky tone. That being said... When you take your tests and quizzes, are you using your book and notes? I am taking A&P I online and I...

  23. Science/Math isn't your thing, but you're doing it

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

    I was NEVER a Math or Science person either. However, over the years I've come to realize that maybe I am. It's a matter of mindset, you have to believe you can be a math and science person. If you go...

  24. Chamberlain College of Nursing - my experience

    KristeyK replied to KMRNOCN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Quick hint about the APA format- if you Google it you will see several EXCELLENT sites with how-to's on them. (My favorite, which I am too lazy to look up right now) has OWL in it. (I think it's...

  25. STRESS... never again

    KristeyK replied to cheezn4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a pain in the rear trying to get transcripts. The ones I ordered for my school I paid the extra funds for a rush fee. It said 10 days, I called my school on day 11 to find out if they had...
