    Accepted to 2 year nursing school and pregnant

    Skips replied to junebugger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you can definitely do it! It's going to be plenty of work, but it's doable. You will have about 2.5 months to get ready for school after the baby is born, so it's not going to be too bad. (:...

    nursing program troubles? Am I alone on this?

    I would! Whipped cream is fantastic! ...but in all seriousness, I wouldn't use a power point to study from. Reading the important sections in textbooks helps me the

    Skips replied to keepmovingrn's topic in General Students

    I'm very excited! I am bit nervous about doing clinical, since I have no idea what to expect. I'm mostly excited, though. I'm registering for classes tomorrow! I start school January 9th, and I'm...

    is BIO 201 hard?

    Skips replied to Cynthia0218's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I would try to not take A&P I online. It's a class you will need to study for quite a bit. With any science class, you're better off not taking it online. There are labs that need...

    Taking A&P in spring ~ any advice?

    Skips replied to dkmamato3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make flash cards on regular note cards and go through them a couple times a day. Read each chapter and take extra notes. This class takes a little more time to prepare for the tests than other...

    Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    Skips replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's quite a bit of money. You should try for the cheaper option, and the more expensive option. If you do not get accepted into the cheaper option, maybe you could figure out some ways to afford...

    Metropolitan Community College...do you absolutely have to have a 4.0 GPA?

    Skips replied to Skips's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad the program has gotten better! It seems like all of the schools are using ATI testing now, which is a great supplement for the material. It definitely helps prepare for the

    Skips replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you what the program is like yet. I start in the spring of 2012. However, I haven't heard anything bad about their program. They are affiliated with the Nebraska Medical Center (top notch...

    CNA before RN?

    Skips replied to SkylerW's topic in General Students

    I start nursing school in January, and working as a CNA has helped me to overcome my shyness with patients and touching people. I don't know if you struggle with those things, but it certainly would...

    Pre employment urine drug screen for nursing home, will they test for alcohol?

    Skips replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    10-11 beers! Wow! You hold alcohol as well as grown men that I know. xD edit: I'm assuming you don't do that regularly. That would be wrecking your body and brain in a horrible, horrible way. Be...

    Microbiology without Chem?

    Skips replied to bmh1992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would certainly make microbiology a lot easier to take chem before micro. You talk about oxidation-reduction reactions, bonds, and other chemical processes. This made it easier for me to learn the...

    do you need pre reqs before entering a bsn program?

    Skips replied to Reminisce's topic in General Nursing

    At a 4-year program, sometimes you do not need the prerequisites completed. It is often part of the curriculum. For my program (4-year one), I got all of the prerequisites done at a community college...
