    CNA without GED

    lifelearningrn replied to cna23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You don't need it at my school either. However, some jobs may require it so it doesn't hurt to get it. I know it's a pain to plan 8+ around a test but you'll be so glad you did. A GED opens as many...

    lifelearningrn replied to Gjertson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately the chemistry is very important to understand many physiological processes. You'll be grateful to this class once you get into muscle physiology.

    Life span 1

    lifelearningrn replied to k9kabs's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are your classes in quarters? I took Lifespan online but it was 16 weeks and covered infancy (actually some fetal development) to old age/death. It's pretty straight forward stuff.. I didn't care for...

    Oh no! I take Lamictal too! What a scary mess you're in. Have they said that it's a passed drug test

    Nursing..a middle age career?

    lifelearningrn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    What is considered middle aged, anyway? I've heard some people say 30s and others say 50s. I'm 38, in that range anyway.. and I honestly can say I'd have no trouble helping move heavy equipment and...

    lifelearningrn replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I noticed you live close by me.. where did you apply? There are many, many schools around here.. keep trying and spread your applications out. Keep working hard and bringing the grades up and you...

    New Chamberlain Campus in Houston

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    JTodd- I have all the Texas core complete as well.. but some of the classes I think look 'ify' if they'd accept them as transfer credits (even though a couple of them are a matter of different...

    Nursing school interview - tell them I'm Pregnant?

    lifelearningrn replied to RockRay's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't tell them... no reason to give them a reason to deny you... and I believe that they absolutely would if they knew... if you can hide it.. I

    Trying to apply for nursing with low GPA

    lifelearningrn replied to Nogada's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even with a 2.8, your chances of getting accepted are slender. A lot of people with very high GPAs are competing for nursing programs, so chances are you'd have been bumped early in the selection...

    I'm such a hypocrit.

    lifelearningrn replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    It's really not the same... drinking coffee, tea or soda while you're at work is completely acceptable. A smoker can't just light up while they are at the station charting. I think everyone should...

    I'm such a hypocrit.

    lifelearningrn replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be a hypocrite if you were still taking smoke breaks yourself, and then treating them that way. The thing about smoking is you have to be in the right 'place' to quit. Then, and only then, is...

    ADN or BSN. Which should i choose? HELP

    lifelearningrn replied to marcopolo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely go for your BSN.. UTA is a reputable school so I wouldn't worry too much about the degree be looked down upon if you did the bridge. Most of the ADN-BSN bridge programs here are partly if...

    Chamberlain Nursing School

    lifelearningrn replied to Navyprincess0001's topic in Florida Nursing

    Houston has a new campus.. I'm really trying to reconcile the cost/return factor. Is it worth the cost? Is the salary for a nurse enough to justify the loans? And most importantly, will it be a...

    lifelearningrn replied to Shanny246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how the scoring for the NLN works.. but I can tell you not to worry about the timeframe. 30 is young.. you'll have plenty of time to raise a family. One goal at a

    lifelearningrn replied to Rooskenator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may not be able to get into an ABSN but have you considered trying for a generic BSN? They may calculate your GPA differently or have different requirements altogether. In fact, they may not look...

    I didn't know I was pregnant?

    lifelearningrn replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I never had morning sickness really.. and the 'gassy' feeling, imo, is only explainable until about the 22nd week. I can not imagine not 'noticing' the feeling of a human being moving around on my...

    I didn't know I was pregnant?

    lifelearningrn replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This seems to be more common among teens.. I truly believe it's more of a denial thing than anything. They are scared of their parents finding out and they hide it and lie until they are caught...
