  1. Community College? You must be stupid.

    LOL!:)
  2. Community College? You must be stupid.

    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.

    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.

    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...
  5. Accelerated Nursing Program - Low GPA

    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...
  6. Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of any Unit Secretary programs in California? Or better yet, do you know a Unit Secretary and how they are able to work as a Unit Secretary in California? Thanks...

    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

    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...

    Thanks so much for the post!
  11. Please help.. need information on RN licensing.

    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?

    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...
  13. 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...
  14. Noob Question: The Most Technical of Nursing Specialties?

    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,...
  15. What are your study techniques?

    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. 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

    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...

    Wow! I've never heard of this before! I'm going to try it
  19. Competitive 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?

    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?

    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?

    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

    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...
