    What is so hard about A&P 1?

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

    So far the chem we have covered is very, very basic. Organic molecules, isotopes, ions, electrons, neutrons, protons, valance shells or certain elements. I don't think having a chem class will hurt...

    What is so hard about A&P 1?

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

    For me, it's hard because science doesn't come naturally to me. It's hard because the labs require almost pure memorization of cells, where they came from, the type, the organelles, etc. etc. and...

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

    I'm sure with help from family a person with small children can be just as successful as you and your "no kids, no responsibilities" cohorts. Personally, I would love the opportunity to do a 1 year...

    I lost my job.

    lifelearningrn replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The OP really was just trying to ask how to still feel like a woman when one shouldn't wear make up, nail polish, etc. etc. Is there really something wrong with that? A female nurse is still a...

    How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    lifelearningrn replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    Do a lot of nurses not wear make up? If so, I'll fit right in. I'm am so NOT a girly girl. I don't do make up (unless I'm dressed up in a dress for a very special occasion).. I'd live in sweats if I...

    If new grads can't find jobs in hospitals...What about Home care ?

    lifelearningrn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about new grads but my sister (RN for over 20 years) HATED home health care. She was so miserable, and swears never to do it again. It was NOT less stressful for her. In fact, out of the...

    ADN or BSN

    lifelearningrn replied to futurenurse1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do a search of this site you will find a lot of threads on this subject as it is discussed often. If you can swing it, a BSN is probably the best route as it will likely open more doors in the...

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

    lifelearningrn replied to Aleccandra's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know of a 5 year old that doesn't have a needle phobia. In some ways, I think the child's natural instincts to fight (fight or flight) kick in and they have unbelievable strength and power. I...

    Do I have a competitive chance of getting in?

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

    I think your peace corp and disaster relief experience, plus your decent GPA will give you a leg up on just about all the competition. Apply at lots of places and I think you'll get many
