  2. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Taking ANY online class is challenging because it requires a lot of discipline that people don't have. Kudos for completing an entire degree that way.

  3. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I made $60,000 and a $8,000 bonus to boot at my previous job in finance (not accounting, just being a regular ol' marketing person) but...it wasn't fulfilling and people would freak out over something...

  4. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    This makes me laugh. I have two bachelors degrees from two private universities. I think the stress that you're spending a lot of money at a university, particularly a private university, makes one...

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to Jasmine589's topic in New York Nursing

    If you want to go the long route... 1. Do you have any classes that can be forgiven via Academic Renewal? For example, if you got a D or lower in some classes, do the colleges offer Academic...

  8. Health Care Plan

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to almostthere2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a pre-nursing student who's going on a 3rd career change as there was more emphasis on the stability of nursing. But I know, nothing's 100% set in stone. Just gotta roll with the

  9. Health Care Plan

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to almostthere2's topic in General Nursing

    My wild guess...: CAUSE: Insurance companies make money off of low-risk patients who pay premiums but do not require a lot of health care. Insurance companies lose money off of high-risk patients who...

    Hi! Are you in Southern California? How about working towards getting your pre-requisites done before getting into an ADN program? If you're in LA, the Los Angeles Community Colleges will start...

  12. Anyone here too "small" to become a CNA?

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to ciarline's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi! This was just the question I was going to post today. I'm getting discouraged because I'm 5' and a weakling. I'm afraid I might accidentally shove the person off their bedpan or off the bed. Is it...

    Hello! I have encountered two types of students in pre-requisites toward nursing or any other health care career (there are many types but just narrowing it down to these two): 1. Students who loved...

    WOW! Thanks so much for the replies! ^_^ I now have a lot to Google and research (e.g. getting a minor in Chemistry...didn't know you could do THAT alongside Nursing =DDDDDD, as well as what IABP,...

    Here are the ways that I study: -Pretend I'm going to have teach it to someone else. This "someone else" could be your kid, your dog, a stuffed animal, your mirror... -Make a song about the subject....

  16. Noob Question: HIV/AIDS and Injection Practice

    Noob_to_Nursing posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there! I'm a total noobie here and am a pre-nursing student. HOWEVER, the reason why I'm posting this in here is because this is directed to General Nursing Students. I heard that you practice...

  17. Noob Question: HIV/AIDS and Injection Practice

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in General Students

    LOL! Yes! I too have that issue. Nurses never have issues getting blood from me or sticking an IV in me. Hence my concern. I feel that when I actually do get into nursing school, the other nurses...

    Noob_to_Nursing posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! =) Just an intro: I am a second...er, third career pre-nursing student. I'm doing pretty well in my prerequisites so far and am loving the sciences even though they are wicked hard. I wonder why I...

  20. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yikes?! Counselors were telling you that? So much for counseling! D= But it's great that in the end first time you applied you got in. I think I'll say "Bring it!!!" to myself to prevent making those...

  21. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It wasn't just the one off hand remark. I said that she started being "snarky" to me after that, which means she persisted in making rude remarks afterwards...blaming me for mistakes that I didn't do...

  22. How Do You Handle Stress/Anxiety?

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to franciscangypsy's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi! Usually when I'm REALLY stressed, I have to talk to my sister. So I think having someone to talk to...even a therapist (there's no shame in that!) would help a lot. Sometimes I get stressed...

  23. A&P ONLINE

    Noob_to_Nursing replied to KareBear0609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I think it's great that you can take an online A&P class! I can also see how taking an on-campus course would help too. I took Anatomy, not online, and we were instructed to actually cut open...
