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

    My friend is taking A&P II right now on the 8 week format and microbiology on the 16 week format...so not exactly the same as you but close. I help her study all the time as she's doing really...

    Starting to give up.. :-(

    PinkCupcake replied to Kizziet's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Put blinders on. Don't think about having 11 weeks left. Take everything one week at a time that way you don't feel so overwhelmed. It works well for me. If I step back and look at the big picture...

    Should I try to work as CNA before I get my RN?

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

    YES!!! My CC RN program requires us to become CNAs before we enter the program so we could get the basic skills like handwashing and how to take vitals outta the way. I've been watching a lot of...

    LTC or Hospital?

    PinkCupcake replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you want to work as an RN I would work as a CNA in a hospital. Assuming you want to work in one when you become an RN. Many hospitals prefer to hire from within. When they are looking for an RN...

    Any one else applying right now

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

    I did the same thing! "I'm so getting in!" to "No I'm not" back to "yes I am!" I was even calling my friends who applied too, asking if the mail came yet if I wasn't home to check. I practically...

    Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

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

    My GPA was a 3.6. It would have been a 4.0 but I missed the final in A&PI and got a 0 on it....long story. The good news is my grade was an A before so I barely passed that class with a C. My...

    IVP Rates

    PinkCupcake replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    DixieRedHead has it right. All you do is take the amount you need to push and divide that number by the number of minutes to get your ml/min

    I'm waiting

    PinkCupcake replied to pinkmittens03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking online philosophy too and I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants. I'm doing well but I think I'd get a lot more out of it in a classroom setting. To the OP waiting, I think, is the...

    Farting around on Allnurses instead of doing my homework!

    PinkCupcake replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Students

    LOL I'm supposed to be writing a 6 page research paper right now but decided to take a "mental health break" and ended up on AN. Sometimes everyone just needs to fart around! It keeps us

    So discouraged and ready to quit

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

    It is very normal to question whether or not you have what it takes to get through nursing school. It's a very stressful process becoming a nurse. You choose this field for a reason and from what I...

    I just got my acceptance letter this past week. I'm so excited to start the nursing program. I feel like I've been working on my pre reqs forever! I start in June which seems like a long ways off...

    as a prenursing student, do video games and studying mix or bad idea?

    PinkCupcake replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    There are many people who play video games while going through school and do just fine. I play wii with my son from time to time. The difference between them and you is you have admitted that gaming...

    2 Year RN VS. 4 Year BSN?

    PinkCupcake replied to elb5240's topic in General Students

    If it was possible for me to go into the BSN program right away I would. Unfortunately for me the closest university that offers the BSN program is the University of Iowa and it's a two hour drive...
