    PinkCupcake replied to Jc1982's topic in General Students

    It sounds like your mom will be your rock. It'll be hard but try and ignore the comments from your other family members. I agree with what others have said as far as them being jealous. School will...

    Statistics!

    PinkCupcake replied to TiffyRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm taking statistics right now and I hate it! Math and I do not get along. Congrats on having enough to pass. I'm only 4 weeks worth in (I'm taking a 8 week accelerated class) so far so good but...

    How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    PinkCupcake replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only applied to one school. I live in the boonies with only one community college that offers the RN program so short of moving my family or a 1 1/2 hour commute one way, I didn't have much of a...

    Question about RN Boards

    PinkCupcake replied to jimmy5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like you passed congrats!!! I'm usually a very patient person. I didn't want to know if I was having a boy or a girl during my three pregnancies because I wanted to be surprised. With...

    PinkCupcake replied to momtojosh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm taking Pharm I right now on campus and we jumped right into dosage calculations as well. I was a bit nervous at first because I don't like math but it didn't take long to get the hang of it. So...

    PinkCupcake replied to RN2b2014mville's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Pharm I right now and we use dimensional analysis to do our dosages. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it at all. I do not like math at all...never have and very rarely do I have...

    Do I take the class over again?

    PinkCupcake replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're wanting to get a better grade in the class then I'd say go for it if that's what you really want. If you're more worried about whether you learned the material you could look into auditing...

    Anyone get a C in A&P?

    PinkCupcake replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P online and got a C due to the fact that I didn't take the final which means I got a zero on it... its a long story but I learned a valuable lesson! It basically comes down to what your...

    Summer Microbiology!? I'm Nervous

    PinkCupcake replied to Hellooo_Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Four weeks for micro is crazy. I took the traditional 16 week class and I couldn't imagine cramming all of that information into only four weeks. I will say that micro was hands down my favorite...

    What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

    PinkCupcake replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

    I'm going to go on a mini shopping spree for myself and my children and maybe hubby and then I'm getting cable TV. Money has been tight with me going to school so one of the things that went was the...

    What was your FIRST semester?

    PinkCupcake replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    I'm getting ready to start my first semester this summer. My program requires us to go year round so we only have two required classes because it's such a short semester. They are Nursing practices...

    Can I Survive Off Of Certified Nursing Assistant Salary? Opinions & Stories Please!

    PinkCupcake replied to FuturePedsNurse92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on where you live and if it's just you or you're trying to support a family on a CNA salary. Where I live if you work in a LTC facility you will start at around 8.25/hr. If you you go to a...

    Anyone have trouble with psychology?

    PinkCupcake replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could try looking for videos on Youtube. When I was taking A&P I watched a lot of videos. Many of them were lectures from professors. They helped a lot. Good luck!

    Any stethoscope recommendations???

    PinkCupcake replied to johnnyarei's topic in General Students

    I love my Littmann Classic II S.E. Of course everyone is different. If you know people that have their own, they may let you try them out to see if you like it. You could also buy a cheap one and...

    Schools that you dont need a TEAS to get in

    PinkCupcake replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't live in your state but the CC I go to does not require the TEAS. The only test you have to take is the basic COMPASS test. If you meet the RN point requirements and have a high enough GPA...

    Have you taken a BLS class?? or CPR??

    PinkCupcake replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would go for the BLS over the CPR. My CC did not require CPR or BLS training for CNAs. In my area if the employer wants you to know it then they will provide the training or pay to have you take...

    Has anyone taken two science coarses in one semester??

    PinkCupcake replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Chem with my A&P II and got A's in both. It can be done but it's a lot of work. I know many others who do multiple sciences together. My friend is taking A&P II and microbiology...

    First day of clinical tomorrow - and giving my first bath!

    PinkCupcake replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    Always ask them how much are they able to do themselves. Some need help, some don't. I was nervous the first time I had to give a bath also. In all honesty once you have one or two under your belt...

    stretched earlobe piercings as CNA?

    PinkCupcake replied to stretchedlobez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree that the stretched earlobes look is very unprofessional. Many employers will not hire you because of them...of course they will probably never tell you that. Everyone has the right to...

    PinkCupcake replied to farawi03's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it. :) I'm not the best speller either, but I don't think that makes you too inept to get a degree. I have no problem spelling words that are based in the Greek...

    Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    PinkCupcake replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would spend a couple of weeks brushing up on your math and biology then CLEP out. It'll save you a ton of time and money! With your GPA you should have no problem. I too had to do pre reqs for the...
