  1. How Long Did You Have To Wait To Get Into NS?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Poohsdw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I finished what I needed in order to apply to my program in December of '03. Put in my app 12/03...starting 8/05. Oh, and as a side note...I was told the wait was 2 semesters (so I should have been...

  2. Hi I have a couple of questions?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to momof4plus1hubby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My doc made me wait 6 weeks also...I think it is mainly because of how busy the hospital is. I had it done at the same day surgery center...all in all the recovery was a piece of cake, I went back to...

  3. What did YOU pay for your Nursing Books for school??

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to sherry730's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to cost me about $800 ordering from B&N with the membership discount and free shipping (first semester). List price for everything was over $900. On the bright side, subsequent...

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Nathalie's topic in Florida Nursing

  5. Weeding out of nursing students

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

    Cheers to SmilingBlueEyes and Tweety...you guys are awesome! I can't tell you how much I, and I'm sure the rest of us, appreciate the encouragement, insight, and, yes, honesty that we always get from...

  6. Statistics vs A&P

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to ttgcole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly! You don't have to be a math whiz to do well in Statistics, it's more understanding which formulas to use where. A&P was 1000X

  7. Hi I have a couple of questions?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to momof4plus1hubby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You question has already been answered, but I just wanted to let you know that I was in the exact same situation with both my 1st and 3rd babies (tubes tied only after the 3rd, obviously:)). Both...

  8. "Natural" birth

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's exactly what I tell my friends when they ask me what to expect. I always tell them not to have their expectations so high that they are terribly disappointed if their birth experience doesn't...

  9. BC patch - 3 times the risk of clots

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to RNnL&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read an article in the paper also (I think mine was in Saturday's paper.) The stories about these poor women were very sad. I didn't realize the risks for blood clots were so much greater with the...

  10. "Natural" birth

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ROFL! Happened to me once, too. I was very surprised on arrival at the hospital that I was 9cm dilated (who knew? I had only been contracting for 2 hours)...and quite disappointed that I wouldn't...

  11. Study Groups Necessary???

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Students

    My feeling is that they could be helpful if it is a small, dedicated group. My major concern wouldn't necessarily be that the group would turn into a gossip session, but that the hardest working...

  12. Speech class jitters!!!!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took speech two semesters ago and I was very nervous. I was also in a class where I graduated from high school the year most of the other students were born, which didn't help, LOL. The biggest...

  13. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated from high school 19 years ago (yikes!), everyone encouraged me to be an engineer. After all, "You're so good at science and math!" Deep down, I really wanted to go into medicine,...

  14. Looking for advice for dealing with co-worker

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to nana2003's topic in General Nursing

    If someone can complain about making a $.11 phone call, it sounds like she's one of those people who isn't happy unless she has something to complain about. I'd just make my dealings with her as...

  15. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    On the subject of shoes...I know it has been discussed in about a million threads, but specifically, I have wide feet (thank you very much to my three children.) I purchased a pair of Rockers in wide...

  16. # of ATPs per 18-Carbon fatty acid

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, now I'm curious. I'm supposed to be reviewing A&P these last few weeks before school anyway, so I'm going to check this out today. I'll let you know what I come up with. So sad what gets me...

  17. How much studying in a day???

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

    Whatever you can do to make quitting your job happen, do it. I also have 3 children (8, 6 & 3), and the best thing I EVER did was quit my job. It does put extra pressure on my dh to "bring home...

  18. Statistics...how did you survive?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to SLH522's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to say it, but I'm a math geek, so I'm with Timothy...I loved statistics. I would definitely advise that you do LOTS of practice problems...the most important and sometimes most difficult thing...

  19. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    Applied 12/03...Starting 8/05 (ADN program). The wait was very frustrating, but in the meantime I also finished all of the prereqs for the RN to MSN program I plan to do

  20. How much studying in a day???

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

    I'm with you 100%, Grannynurse. I definitely think that quality is more important than quantity. I've had some classes where I took fabulous notes, which I reviewed daily (only about 20-30...

  21. About to give up on being a nurse

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Lorel's topic in General Nursing

    lorel, i agree that it sounds as if are in a marriage where your husband is controlling to the point of being abusive. in fact, some of the things you said just broke my heart. i am catholic, too,...

  22. Unfriendly RN's during clinicals

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to kyliern2b's topic in General Students

    Wouldn't you think that even those who weren't thrilled about having students there would be helpful for just that reason? To those nurses who responded that they enjoy having students in their units,...

  23. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Carolina, I recall reading your post about this book on another thread. It's the next book I'm going to read, based on your recommendation!

  25. So lost and confused here

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to googleypoo2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hospitals here (in Florida) don't pay for pre-reqs, only once you've been accepted to nursing school. Once you finish, it's a 2 year commitment, but you get paid the same as everyone else...
