    First semester done- 4.0 cumulative!

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

    Watch out for those 'Fine Arts' electives. Many expect them to be an easy A class but a lot of teachers like to prove the students wrong. lol I thought my 'music' elective would be a breeze, it was...

    lifelearningrn replied to Queen Tiye, CNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just google it and sift through all the information out there. There are plenty of sources.. good

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Interesting. I don't think it would be a good replacement for good old instructor questions/students answer (the old fashioned way) but I've never experienced it so who knows, maybe its

    How hard is chemistry as compared to anatomy class?

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

    I'm with you- I am taking A/P2, Chem and Micro this coming semester and Chem is scaring me to death. How hard is the chem math? I ask because I am not a math person, I was scared to death of stats...

    Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    It amazes me how many people think that their philosophy is the only 'right' one. I don't know about skits (never had that one before) but there isn't just ONE right way to teach because there isn't...

    Not wanting to work at hospital?

    I think as a nurse you'll have a lot of different options to explore. But what is it you'd like to do as a

    TEAs Test Preparation

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

    From what I have gathered here, the science is so random and drawn from such a broad area of information, it's an either you know it or you don't kind of situation. I hadn't thought of using a GED...

    Moral/Ethical Advice

    lifelearningrn replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    It's not hearsay if she was told directly by this woman that she was cheating. Hearsay would have been if the woman told someone else, and that someone else told the

    Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    lifelearningrn replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate everyone's opinions and advice. I don't plan on changing my career and educational goals on the very, very small chance that I will encounter a life or death situation at home where I...

    Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    lifelearningrn replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Klone- I was genuinely curious. Sometimes non-parents may have a different opinion (not making it right or wrong, just different). I don't think it's okay to leave patients without care. I want to...

    Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    lifelearningrn replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that leaving mid shift will put co-workers/nurse manager in a bind. I certainly don't think anyone should just up and leave for silly reasons. But if you have a very serious family...

    Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    lifelearningrn replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Well I don't think it's reasonable to have an extra nurse on duty just in case... it is nice you have nurse friends ready to take over a shift or two if need be. Your daughter is still a dependent...

    is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    lifelearningrn replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I could be way off base here but I heard the other day someone say that med students tend to be coddled through medical school, with their instructors working hard with them to help them through....

    lifelearningrn replied to nnn_girl's topic in General Students

    All I can say is I sympathize with you so much. I dropped out of college (not nursing) when I was 22 because my dad got sick. Right before he died my mom became sick. Went through 2 more years of her...

    Need advice for next step in Nursing

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

    All is not lot though. The LPN programs are more forgiving and once you get through that program and prove yourself you could bridge over to RN. It's worth talking to an LPN director about. Just an...

    Fall 2011 UT Houston Health Sciences hopefuls

    lifelearningrn replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is a great HESI score. Good luck. OP- have you taken the TEAS V? UTMB uses that exam instead of the HESI. Have you considered Texas Woman's Houston? They also do the

    Need advice for next step in Nursing

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

    There are lots of people who have backed themselves in a corner failing A&P first time around. Getting a C the second time isn't likely to cut it and failing A&P 2 is pretty bad too. I think...

    Gross MD!

    lifelearningrn replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like Dr. House! Seriously though.. I was reading some of the OPs other posts.. There is an LPN that wears her nametag backwards and calls herself an RN.. A friend nurse with terrible BO... A...

    Can I start over with my grades?

    lifelearningrn replied to sincerebliss's topic in General Nursing

    You certainly got yourself in a bind. You failed out of classes and owe your school a pretty hefty sum. You can't just omit this transcript from your education. Some states/schools offer 'Academic...

    For new grads looking for their first job

    lifelearningrn replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- I would have loved to have a trust fund in the first place. Right now new graduates across the board (in all fields) can't find work. The job market will change... it's not a false reassurance...

    For new grads looking for their first job

    lifelearningrn replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP was trying to downplay the devastation being out of work causes. Especially when you've got student loans coming due, kids to take care of, and bills piling up. What she was...
