    I just don't know if nursing is really for me

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

    I think you should try and stick with a job for a while to see if anything changes. You've quit several jobs after just a few days. If you keep that pattern going, you may have trouble finding a job...

    A thread EVERYONE should read before posting

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

    How can someone pass something as difficult as nursing school and be completely unable to formulate a coherent sentence and paragraph? Doesn't nursing school require a couple of college level writing...

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

    I know exactly how you feel. I'm a B student at best. I have some As, and Cs, one being Bio1 with the class average being 55ish. Science doesn't come natural to me and I'm worried I won't be...

    I need help :( from mn

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

    I would think as long as the MA program is not considered "continuing education" the classes should transfer from one program to the next. I know at my community college even if the classes are...

    Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    lifelearningrn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I'm sure some people really want to see their loved one walk across that stage. Having said that, I think there are a LOT of people that would rather not spend hours watching people they don't know...

    Unwise to get married?

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

    Get Associate in Science or BSN

    lifelearningrn replied to Aniyah2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe you should bypass the LVN alltogether and focus on the ADN-RN or your BSN-RN. You've already got a lot of credits out of the way.. investing another couple of years will pay off in the end,...

    Would you recommend taking gen. biology in the summer?

    lifelearningrn replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took General Bio 1 last summer in a 10 week course and I have to say it was extremely challenging. I studied constantly and still made a C. It was the first science class I had taken in like 20...

    Would manager or HR be impressed?

    lifelearningrn replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but I would be careful with such information.. I mean if you have to put in a 2 week notice than I think the fact that you chose this place over another is evident. If you're not...

    lifelearningrn replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be 38 in July and I have decided just over the past month or so that this is the definitive direction I want to go. I wasted a lot of years when I should have been getting a degree, but for...

    Will Having General Bio 1 & 2 Help?

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I took Bio 1 and 2 for my AA and I am wondering if others have taken it and if it helped them with A&P 1 and 2 at all. I hear all these horror stories of how difficult these classes (which I...

    NO jobs for new nurses, I may quit school.

    lifelearningrn replied to oceanbaby's topic in General Nursing

    What other area would you go into that isn't hurting in the job department at this moment? The question is, are you wanting to be a nurse strictly for the money/job security? Perhaps if another area...
