It is not required for us to have a laptop in my program, but I could not be without one. I always have it for study groups, or studying away from home and it has made everything so much easier.. I have a hp. It was a gift, so I didn't personally com...

I have a bunch of Blue Sky Scrub sets.. They are my favorite scrubs!! I prefer solid scrub sets and they wear and wash soo nice! To me, Greys Anatomy Scrubs do not wash well. They fade and get the pulls on them. They just don't last in my opinion.
Hi Everyone! I am having major anxiety about starting Chemistry next week! Is there anyone who has a little advise? Anything I can get to help me pass this class. I, of course, really need an A which is really stressing me out!

I had to get a new job to drop to PD. My manager would not work with my school schedule at all! She said that in her medical office (and it's part of a large hospital!) she doesn't hire RN's so I basically wouldn't be any use to her when I have a RN ...

I am right there with you! I couldn't work and go to school full time and take care of my 2 children. I was exhausted! I cut down to very PD and it is working out much better! I am still tired but manageable!

When I went (and it has been 11 years ago.) The hours were full time 8-4 or so, 5 days a week. Then once clinicals start, those hours were cut back and clinical hours were added. I don't remember the exact schedule, but it was clinicals a few days a ...

I am taking 19 units this semester with a math and Physiology as 2 of the classes. It is doable, it just is alot of work. I think if you need it to make a deadline then go for it. Thats why I decided to take so many this semester! Good luck!
I am about a month and a half into my Physiology course. Everyone did poorly on their first exam, myself included I am freaking out! I NEED an A in this class! And to make it even worse, my employer would not go around my school schedule and I had t...

Thanks for all the advice! I wanted to add that I need English either this semester or in the summer. If I put it off until summer, my summer semester will be Physiology, Speech and English.??
I have my first micro lecture tomorrow. I meant to buy something to record the lectures, but had to buy $547 worth of book so I need to wait alittle. Has anyone ever tried to use their iPhone to record lectures. I am freaking out about having to wait...

lvnibclc replied to HopelesswanbeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing
I agree with what others have said about the LVN route (although didnt they just stop the LVN program at Delta and are only doing a Psych Tech program?) SJDC is a tough one to get into with science grades like that, as is MJC (and many other programs...
I have a bunch of prereqs left. How many is manageable in 1 semester? 1 has to be an Anatomy with a lab.. Is 4 total too many? It would be Psychology, Anatomy, English, and Public Speaking? Should I drop 1? I do have to work 3 days a week, so I think...
