    I Don't Know Where To Go From Here...

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

    Being ranked in the 1% could mean that you scored higher than 99% of the others who have taken the

    Am unable to get in Nursing program

    lifelearningrn replied to Classylady85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I think you should spread out your applications. Apply at every school as far as you're willing to commute. This alone will increase your chances of getting in somewhere. Also, since you have...

    Which education path to nursing should I take?

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

    I don't think this is a long shot at all. I think it's admirable that you want to work with the elderly. I have a soft spot for our elders as well. I think with your goals you should definitely go...

    The Shortage Myth in Politics

    lifelearningrn replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    How funny.. one would hope our potential elected officials would do a little research on the platforms they are hoping to use to get voters. Does this give you confidence in her ability to govern the...

    Furious prof can't find my midter

    lifelearningrn replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He really shouldn't have asked for your password. Blackboard give a report on everything a student does to an instructor. This teacher seems a little inappropriate.. I've taken many, many classes on...

    not sure if getting a BSN is for me

    lifelearningrn replied to Kayla0616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you're being a little unrealistic and maybe even a bit immature about going into nursing. There are no nursing schools that are only going to teach you in the area you pick to specialize in....

    am i making the right choice?

    lifelearningrn replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    Quit the job!!! You concern for your employer shows a great work ethic, but in the long run, long after you've moved on from this position, you're not going to say to yourself, "I'm so glad I picked a...

    Associates vs. Bachelors

    lifelearningrn replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I decided after getting an associates (general studies) degree to go into nursing. When comparing the two programs, I have to take the same prerequisite nursing courses. The deciding factor for me was...

    Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    lifelearningrn replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! My browser actually underlines misspelled words as you type and all you have to do is right-click and find the right word. It makes life a lot

    Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    lifelearningrn replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    It does seem like as educated adults writing a coherent post should come a little more naturally.. I do have to admit I often think faster than I type and make typos and omit words often.. and don't...

    Questions and concerns going to school at 36

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

    They will not look down on you taking developmental math. It's just a refresher course so that you will be successful in college level math. Don't stress about that at all.. a HUGE number of students...

    Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

    lifelearningrn replied to mariposabella's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you want to be a nurse, I say go for it! I don't know of anybody who is graduating college and getting a great paying job right now.. in any field. You have to start on the bottom and work your...

    A question about prices of CNA/PCT programs and getting what you pay for

    lifelearningrn replied to jgreer425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think when it comes to higher education, you can judge the worthiness of a program by the price tag. For-profit tech schools are notorious for putting students in massive debt for a degree...

    College Algebra or Equivalent?

    lifelearningrn replied to *Muffin*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took College Math for Liberal arts for my AA which is the required math course for 2 of the 4 BSN schools I want to apply for. (One calls it Critical Thinking Math and the other Quantitative Math)....

    Help! Having to take COMPASS Math placement test

    lifelearningrn replied to S. Braden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the others have said, the compass is a tool used to place you in the correct math class. If you don't score well, they will place you in remedial math classes. The does not prevent you from...

    Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    lifelearningrn replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I was 24 when my dad died. Luckily, we had a good relationship and were very close for several years when he passed. I don't think you should waste any more seconds thinking about this. We live in the...

    Online classes hard?

    lifelearningrn replied to Otaybw19's topic in General Students

    I took about 1/3 of my classes for my AA online and I think they are definitely a bit easier than in person classes. There were a couple I think I could have benefited from in class lectures but for...

    How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    lifelearningrn replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    I think Pottery would be fun, but I don't think I'd be very good at it either. lol It does sound like a work intensive class- Art requirements are supposed to be 'blow off'- I think some teachers make...

    How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    lifelearningrn replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    Pottery counts as your art credit? Cool! I took Intro to Motion Pictures for my art credit and it was fun watching movies and writing a critique on them. :) Pottery in my school is a 'personal...

    How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    lifelearningrn replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    I think your plans are definitely doable. The summer is hard for one class, let alone a whole load. 10 hours in a fall or spring semester is not bad at all! I took 16 hours last semester and ended up...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    lifelearningrn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you guys are unfairly attacking Triquee. IMO- she seems like a pretty smart woman who knows where she wants to go in life. If someone is not interested in furthering their education and are...

    Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    lifelearningrn replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where does one get a 40/hr job clerking at a supermarket?? It would take years and years of raises for someone at our supermarkets to get up to maybe 14/hr. Perhaps someone in the "office"...
