    lifelearningrn replied to Kyliyah's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- all I can say is if I were an LVN/LPN I would find this comment highly offensive and

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    lifelearningrn replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Q: "What are you going to school for?" A: "Nursing" or Statement: "I'm in school for nursing!" These are accurate for both pre-nursing and nursing students. And IMO not at all dishonest for a...

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

    It's still only 2 classes so I think it's still doable.. Your 9 year old will probably be able to help! lol I don't work, I'm doing school full time, and I have two, ages 5 &

    Is my spring class schedule too much!

    lifelearningrn replied to pope6974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree general biology gives you a good foundation for A&P. A&P delves a lot deeper into what we surveyed in the bio courses.. but so for most of the material hasn't been completely...

    Is my spring class schedule too much!

    lifelearningrn replied to pope6974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be able to pull it off. Since your sciences are both intro sciences, they may be challenging but not too terrible. Intermediate algebra is also like an intro course (to college algebra).. and...

    If you are or were a single mother of 2, which program would you choose?

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

    UT is an awesome school. I'm sure they have on site daycare. Also, there are in home childcare centers that are available on weekends. You can check them out at the Texas Department of Family...

    seeking exam-only RN to BSN

    lifelearningrn replied to VTRN774's topic in General Nursing

    There aren't many degrees you can take a test and earn.. unless of course it is a degree mill. There are online programs where you can take the necessary classes.. that is the best you'll be able to...

    Do you need to take the exact class?

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

    Community colleges and universities work hard together to make transferring classes as simple as possible. They have 'guides' witch will show you what class they are looking for and the equivalent...

    I feel the same way about writing papers... for some reason I wait until the last, last, last minute. I can't ever think of the right thing to

    At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I honestly think that the layman sees someone giving them medical care (vitals, shots, fluffing pillows, sponge baths, etc. etc. etc. and couldn't care less if they hold the 'official' title of nurse....

    Which Biology is the easiest?

    lifelearningrn replied to kirsten8177's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Bio2 is the easiest... much easier than 1 was for me. If you can do one for non-science majors.. even

    Do you need to take the exact class?

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

    I'd see an admissions councilor about that. They may very well accept the class.. you have to get your transcripts evaluated. I don't see why you'd have to retake it either... sometimes schools call...

    Massive changes to 2011 healthcare benefits??

    lifelearningrn replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Employers have been doing this long before the new healthcare plan. I may be mistaken, but it is the employers who decide how much of a healthcare plan they are going to pay, how much they pass on to...

    Feeling a little discouraged...

    lifelearningrn replied to BriSpa7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try not to be discouraged. I think sometimes the LVN programs may be more difficult than the ADN programs because you have a lot less prerequisite classes. I really, really have a firm belief that the...

    Help!!! I'm about to PANIC about possible new LTC job..

    lifelearningrn replied to NurseCard's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She must see on your resume/application that you are currently employed. I don't know of ANY employer that expects a new hire to quit their current job without notice. She is probably wanting you to...

    I need advise!!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 30 when I got pregnant with my first child... I definitely recommend waiting too. Having said that, I really don't think there is anything wrong with her wanting to have them younger. For HER,...

    lifelearningrn replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you're wanting to go to a for-profit technical school. Do you mind telling us which school you're wanting to attend? We could guide you better with that information. Also, I put in bold...

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

    My parents made me get a job at 16 years old. As soon as that took place, they made it my responsibility to buy my own things like make up, entertainment, clothing. When I left school, they required...
