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

  9. Unwise to get married?

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

    When did you "meet" this man of your dreams? Some guys can be very supportive and others can suck the life out of your college dreams. If you find yourself missing class or study time to spend time...

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

    JROregon replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. I AM SOOOO Scared!!!

    JROregon replied to myoahall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with all of the above. Yes, I saw lots of younger students making very elaborate study tools. I didn't do that. What I did do is use the material the instructors made - they had a study guide...

  16. Could i be a nurse?

    JROregon replied to carly23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't listen to your parents but do start with a very basic cell biology class if you don't feel confident in the sciences. If your college has a very basic chem class, that would be of help also. I...

    JROregon replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be starting nursing school in the fall and I am 47. I was certainly not the oldest one in my pre-req classes either. I was so distracted when I was a 20 year old college student back in the 80s....

  19. Steps in becoming a nurse

    JROregon replied to unjustlysweet's topic in General Students

    A placement test just gives you a starting point. I took algebra and higher math in high school and in my earlier college days so I didn't want to take it again. I found an algebra workbook that...

    JROregon replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. What choice should I make, Lindfield or PCC OCNE?

    JROregon replied to haircut7b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think you have 2 very good programs. I too would chose the OCNE program to keep the debt to a minimum. You'll have the same degree. I live too far to attend an OCNE school and will get my ADN in...
