    I want to get out of nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how well you're paid as an LPN but in our neck of the woods LPNs (LVNs) are grossly underpaid. With your skills working with people, communication and paperwork you might be able to find...

    Grammar on Hesi A2!! Please help!

    lifelearningrn replied to la0044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't recall ever taking an actual grammar class either. It's generally taught in your composition classes. All I can suggest is that you study the basics of grammar. Google grammar tutor sites and...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    lifelearningrn replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college system I am in has campus police and security on every campus. They are not in the best or worst neighborhoods. University of Houston's main campus is in a ROUGH neighborhood.....

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    lifelearningrn replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't know gangsters bothered with college! Seriously though, if this is a concern, is it possible to move to a safer area in California? By the sounds of it, LA is not a nice place to

    lifelearningrn replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say anything until it becomes necessary to do so. (safety issues or you are showing). You are not required to state being pregnant during the application and interview period and it's...

    lifelearningrn replied to Latin Student's topic in General Nursing

    Anatomy Class???

    lifelearningrn replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah- the dreaded bones. How I wish we just had to learn 'every bone in the body'. Instead, it's all marks and grooves and holes and ridges on each bone! Ug! I will say that it all depends on your...

    lifelearningrn replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First off, how far into the semester are you? What labs have you already done and/or what lab are you currently working on? I found the bone lab to be the hardest, though almost all of my classmates...

    Has anyone taken 3 sciences at the same time?

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

    I have two boys (5 and 7) but I do not work full time. These three are the only ones I'll be taking. I took four last semester (A/P1, Stats, Nutrition, and Lifespan) and managed to do really, really...

    FAFSA: What is my grade level?

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

    I wonder too. You may not eligible for grants unless you were to apply for graduate aid.. but I bet you could get loans. (Just a hunch, I have nothing to back that

    Problem with School Advisor

    lifelearningrn replied to igus2666's topic in General Nursing

    Is English your second language? I hope you get things straightened out. Can it be that the only campus that offers this course is the one you're signed up at? I know the community college district I...

    Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

    lifelearningrn replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're definitely NOT to old! Go for it. I'm a little confused about your plan though.. Is this a typo? You CAN do a direct entry master of nursing program. But you have to be in a nursing program...

    lifelearningrn replied to henri90401's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people take A&P and Micro having never taken General Bio.. so I'm going to say no, there really isn't a reason to worry about taking it again. I'm sure as you go along the cobwebs will...

    Life as a minority in nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    Go ahead and dig those up. I think the whole "Un1qu4" names and spellings thing come along recently enough that a lot of that population hasn't hit the workforce yet. However, if there are studies,...

    Life as a minority in nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    Do you have any research to back that up? With AA, that certainly can be the case in some instances.. but the minority winning every time? I don't think so. And it's this attitude that perpetuates the...
