  1. lost my baby

    Annabelle57 replied to K205's topic in General Nursing

    i am so sorry for your loss, k205. many, many, many endless hugs and love to you. :icon_hug: i don't know if this will help the grieving process at all... but there's a wonderful christian group...

  2. Anyone else waiting for "the letter" this month for fall admissions?

    Annabelle57 replied to L&D_2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    good luck! i, too, am awaiting acceptance from two different accelerated bsn programs - the deadline is january 15, and even though i've got everything in, i still won't hear anything until march...

  3. 2 year program vs 4 year ones

    Annabelle57 replied to blinky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    here in florida, if you get your associate's degree at a community college, the courses you took have no problem transferring over credit to a public 4-year school. if you decide to go to a private...

  4. so confused.

    Annabelle57 replied to Kristen407's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you are not alone, i'm sure! up until a few years ago, i was caught in the whole md-or-rn debate, too. everyone here is right about the prerequisites - both programs are going to need similar...

  5. need help deciding on a second foreign language

    Annabelle57 replied to sdmama's topic in Florida Nursing

    i'm a little farther north in orlando, but my vote would definitely be for either french/creole or portuguese as your second language choice. i think spanish is a no-brainer - i don't know it at all...

  6. thinking about becoming rn

    Annabelle57 replied to hTx87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my two cents, for what they're worth (probably just that - two pennies!): --i second the job shadow thing. call up the hospitals in your area, especially the larger teaching hospitals, as they'll...

  8. Desktop or Laptop?

    Annabelle57 replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i have to put in my vote for the laptop. i like the portability - dh and i like to go to starbucks, panera, etc, and use the free wi-fi there. mine completely bit the dust a couple of months ago -...

  9. Is your house a mess?

    Annabelle57 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i had to laugh at myself when i saw this thread... i was just thinking how much i needed to get my act together when it came to keeping my place clean! oh well... i would classify my house as...

  10. You're going to Community College?

    Annabelle57 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    don't let 'em chap your a$$ over it. there are always naysayers, as jess mentioned. when i went to a private, over-expensive college for my 1st degree, i used to sometimes hear remarks about my...

    Annabelle57 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    many hugs to you! :icon_hug: find a specialty that makes your day worthwhile and keeps your health relatively stable, too. our hospital has an "interim pool" option where rns work 13 weeks on a...

  16. Accelerated programs - worried about GPA in previous BA degree!

    Annabelle57 replied to Ment2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    they do look at overall gpa, yes... but it's not the only factor. my gpa was a 3.2, and in fact, my lone science grade from "chemistry for life" (craphead stupid doo-doo professor, grrr...) was a d....

    Annabelle57 replied to Annabelle57's topic in Michigan Nursing

  22. A & P question

    Annabelle57 replied to cherylnj81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it's funny how schools differ: mine requires microbiology to be completed before you can take a & p i, although i know of a few students who got around that somehow. honestly, when i look back to...

  23. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Annabelle57 replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    from a dear, unfortunate friend of mine: when your dear, elderly auntie who has not seen you for several years comes up to give you one of her bear hugs, this is not a good time to suddenly "forget"...

  24. Your Worst Mistake

    Annabelle57 replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing
