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

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

    Yes, let's. And, I think that was part of the whole point the OP was trying to make (Please, correct me if I'm wrong, okie2!). No one should be criticized for their decision. Right or wrong, I know...

  2. I did it!!!!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to lmacks4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many people in both my anatomy and micro labs took pictures with digital cameras and turned them into flash cards. I thought it was a fantastic idea. My school sets up an open practical review for a...

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

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

    So, in other words, someone like me, who is 37, with three kids should give up on the idea of being a nurse? There is one program that is possible for me to complete here in my area. It is an ADN...

  4. Our baby was stillborn... Please help me understand

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry that I can't find any better words of sympathy than those, I wish I could. You, your husband, and your son will be in my prayers. I know that you...

  5. How many of you had a different career/education before becoming an RN?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to cancergirl's topic in General Nursing

    I spent 15 years in the advertising industry, most recently as a media buyer. I was beginning to become really burnt out and disillusioned by the business. People think I'm crazy for quitting; I got...

  6. Hard decisions.

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to brazuca's topic in General Nursing

    frankiebrina, I recall from some of your other posts that you are in a situation similar to mine...you gave up a good paying job to pursue nursing because you feel you have a passion for it. When I...

  7. Hi and need help finding a BLS course

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Sunqueen's topic in Florida Nursing

    Broward Community College offers BLS and ACLS. I'm not sure if they offer it at all three campuses, but I know they offer it at Central Campus in Davie, because I took it there. :)

  8. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Where in Southern PA? I'm from Somerset County originally.

  9. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    That is what amazes me! I know one thing that is happening in a big way here in SE Florida is that people are WAY overextended on their home loans! I've seen a huge trend in interest-only loans and...

  10. Florida Is Not Affordable Anymore!

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Florida too, but on the East coast, where it has completely spiraled out of control. For example, my own house, a very small (1500 sf) 3 bed, 2 bath, 1cg, connected to one other home and with...

  11. Credit reports

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the only businesses that did credit checks for employment were financial institutions. I'm pretty sure they have to get your consent to run your credit history, though, so you would be...

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

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

    Actually, when you add in all of those crazy fees, my CC isn't that much cheaper than yours. A gen ed 3 credit class is $175, but nursing classes are ultimately $200 because of some extra fees....

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

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

    Not necessarily. My problem is, once I graduate, I have no intention of sticking around in sunny South Florida (Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!!!!) for long enough to fulfill a 2 year obligation to a hospital....

  14. Kadivars and Cats in A&P

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm totally jealous of those of you who had the opportunity to work with cadavers, cats too (sorry for those of you it bothers.) We had fetal pigs, and we were in groups of about 4. Also did sheep...

  15. Study Tips

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

    All excellent advice. Mostly, you have to find what works for you. For some, taping lectures helps, for others, it doesn't. If you have the flexibility in your schedule, I've found that studying in...

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

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

    Like many of you, I really didn't have a choice either. I'm 37, 3 kids, and thank goodness a husband who has been very supportive of my decision and willing to live on one income until I finish. I...

  17. Requirements for ADN?

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

    Check with the school you want to go to. My ADN program requires the following before you apply: English Comp 1 Math (I think it's College Algebra, I tested out) Chem for Health Sciences A&P I...

  18. Patients knowing medical lingo

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurse practitioner at my kids' pediatrician's office was amused when my 7-year-old knew that, based on the results of her CBC, we would know whether she was ill because of a virus or...

  19. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the statement from the conference of bishops, the way I understand it, pain is to be alleviated, if possible. The idea of redemptive suffering is only mentioned with regard to pain that...

  20. Anyone gone through A+P 1+2 and not cover a system?

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

    This was the site for my textbook for A&P. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was a big

  21. Anyone gone through A+P 1+2 and not cover a system?

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

    My CC has 3 campuses as well, and all three use the same book and cover the same material in each class as far as I know. It does seem strange that you would miss such a large chunk of material. The...

  22. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This was always my favorite quote at my former job, where everyone was ALWAYS completely stressed out. I was the only one with kids, and I came in at 9, left at 5, because my kids and my marriage are...

  23. What classes to take when pre-req's done??

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

    I'm not sure if you are going into an ADN or BSN program, but I spent a year waiting to get into my ADN program after I had all of my necessary classes finished. I'm not sure if I will pursue my BSN...

  24. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Funny, I read every post in this thread and I don't recall anyone whining or claiming to be a saint, merely people honestly stating their opinions and their personal reasons for entering the...

  25. new students - what do you fear most?

    Momto3andNurse2B replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    Honestly, my biggest fear is that after all of the prereqs and all of the hard work and the sacrifices my family has made to enable me to do this...that I won't be any good at it! I'm so excited...
