  1. Wait List Advice (first in line)

    mamayogibear replied to Dchar's topic in General Students

    Most students will not be dropped at the 'pay or drop date' because people with financial aid do not get dropped by that date even if they did not

  2. Nursing School Orientation. What to wear!?

    mamayogibear replied to MegNeoNurse's topic in General Students

    I decided to wear some business casual clothes, a pair of dress pants and a cute but suitable shirt. That was the common theme of what other students were wearing. Except one girl showed up late and...

  3. does it mean I'll have a job?

    mamayogibear replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    I don't think it guarantees you a job after you graduate. If it was like that more students would be taking that route. I was under the impression that if you get accepted for funding for school you...

  4. Pep Talk Please

    mamayogibear replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in General Students

    I don't drive. I have a bike that I commute on:) You could probably find someone to carpool with after a while but biking to school is great. You get a workout which brings more oxygen to your brain...

  5. Need help for nursing school

    mamayogibear replied to Natasha101's topic in General Students

    Yeah, retake the prereqs you didn't do well in! Check out the regional section then click on your state to find a forum on your area and try asking about specific schools, but even for 'easy' schools...

  6. Going shopping for school supplies tomorrow

    mamayogibear replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I'm going to splurge at the dollar store for everything but textbooks:) Books I'll buy on

  7. how are you paying

    mamayogibear replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    When I first started taking pre-reqs I got a grant to cover tuition and supplies the first term. The next two terms I got a scholarship. Then the second year of pre-reqs I only got a grant to cover...

  8. De-bining Books???

    mamayogibear posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, During my pre-req courses most of the books were available in a looseleaf format without any binding and holes pre punched in them for use in a binder, or they were available as ebooks. This...

  9. Cyclists Students ---- Panniers for Textbooks

    mamayogibear posted a topic in General Students

    Any other cyclists out there? I used to commute by bike to work and just tossed clothes and lunch in a messenger bag. I commuted by bike for school for a while but used a netbook with ebooks instead...

  10. De-bining Books???

    mamayogibear replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    Cool thanks. I will call Kinkos and see what they charge. Did you do this for your books? Did they hold up over the year? ETA Kinkos will only do this for paperback

  11. Clover Park Employment/Higher Education Outlook

    mamayogibear replied to kns1's topic in Washington Nursing

    I chose not to go to Clover Park although I was accepted. Their prerequisites at their school are not transferable so if you do any academic classes there you have to finish all your classes there do...

  12. What are you carrying all your books in?

    mamayogibear replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

    Hey i'm stealing this question from you and starting a thread;) for my pre reqs all of the textbooks were avaliable as either ebooks or as 'unbound' pre punched books. However the book list for my...

  13. Extra Books/Materials (that aren't required)

    mamayogibear replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    As a single mom that works part time I have more important bills to pay than buying 'extras' for classes and I managed a 4.0 in all my pre reqs and co reqs. I would always write out my own flashcards...

  14. Fall 2011, what's your schedule?

    mamayogibear replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in General Students

    My first semester of an ADN-RN program. September: 23 hrs/week Lecture M-F 8am-12 Lab 1 -2:30 T&TH or M&F (section isn't assigned until school starts) October & November : 24hrs/week...

  15. What color is your uniform?

    mamayogibear replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Not only does my school require a specific color: Wine but they HAVE TO BE Landau! This really urks me because other brands can be found for much cheaper. Does anyone else's school require a specific...

  16. too much load???

    mamayogibear replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    Well since you are all ready a CNA but the school does not require you to be then the first term will be mostly stuff you all ready know. Before being a CNA was required at schools here most people I...

  17. Nursing & Your Path of Education

    mamayogibear replied to Valintin's topic in General Students

    My long term goal is to get my BSN but I can not get additional daycare funding for my kids if I go to a BSN program. I have done the prerequisites for BSN programs in my area and spent too much money...

  18. Vaccine requirements

    mamayogibear replied to momto2j's's topic in General Students

    I have a similar question. My only 'official' record of having the HepB series is a hand written shot record from over a decade ago. This worked for the CNA school I went to but will it count at a...

  19. Fall 2011, what's your schedule?

    mamayogibear replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in General Students

    I have orientation on Monday and hope to get my schedule then. The program I am in only has one class per term and it is 12 units. So I am assuming I will have 12 hours of lecture/lab and one day of...

  20. How many hours should I study?

    mamayogibear replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    I am not yet in nursing school but for all my prereqs I would study an hour before school and an hour after school each day on the bus while commuting. I plan to do the same once I start nursing...

  21. Opinions on Class Schedule

    mamayogibear replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Well then I'd say take the extra credit. I've heard from lots of people here who took the LPN program before they required a CNA to apply to nursing school that the first term was only a little more...

  22. too much load???

    mamayogibear replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    Hmm... I think it makes things harder in the long run even though it's easier to get in. If you are a single mom like me I would say no don't take physiology on top of a full schedule, a toddler and...

  23. Opinions on Class Schedule

    mamayogibear replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Those are all prereq courses that are needed to get into nursing school here. Sorry I can't give you any advice. Is being a CNA a pre req at your school? If not the first term fundamentals may cover...

  24. Is it possible to work while attending RN school?

    mamayogibear replied to AmberLeigh000's topic in General Students

    I sure hope so because I am a single mom with no child support so I will have to work part time while in school. I have 2 interviews for CNA jobs at LTC facilities in the town I'm moving to for school...

  25. Will you still have pre/co-requisites to take while in NS?

    mamayogibear replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Nope I will have all my prereqs done. How can you get into a program without all the prereqs done? I will also have all co requsites done as well as some classes that were prereqs for other programs...
