  1. Lost high school transcripts

    stefanyjoy replied to Rangerjoe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take a visit to the board of education and tell them they need to produce something. If anything, they at least need to provide you a signed letter on the school board's letterhead advising of the...

  2. Do I need to get started on a Associates Degree before RN pre-reqs?

    stefanyjoy replied to lina.561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lina, it sounds like you need to meet with a counselor at your community college. They will help analyze what fits best in your life between work and taking care of your sister, and your goals down...

  3. Do I need to get started on a Associates Degree before RN pre-reqs?

    stefanyjoy replied to lina.561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mean, what do you mean by "for now"? If you eventually plan to get a bachelor's or master's, you might as well do your pre-reqs for the ADN program, get those out of the way, then you'll probably...

  4. Do I need to get started on a Associates Degree before RN pre-reqs?

    stefanyjoy replied to lina.561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends, do you want your ADN or your BSN in

  5. Should I get my RN or BSN? What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?

    stefanyjoy replied to 31dunn's topic in Nursing Career

    I also wanted to mention, at least in my area, an RN program is 2 years and the ABSN program is 16 months... did you check the

  6. Should I get my RN or BSN? What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?

    stefanyjoy replied to 31dunn's topic in Nursing Career

    If you wanted to go for the MSN you would need to get your BSN regardless, so if I were you I'd go for an ASBN

  7. Awesome A & P Resource

    stefanyjoy replied to greenfiremajick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cool! can't wait to use this when I start A&P this spring

  8. Planning advice needed

    stefanyjoy replied to Whole Life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I decided to go back to school, I asked my partner a million times if he understood how demanding this would be on our family (we have 1 daughter), if he would fully be emotionally supportive of...

  9. got a job offer from insurance company in Oregon

    stefanyjoy replied to pmohr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work for a major health insurance company and the telephone nurses have it pretty easy, as far as what knowledge is involved. People will call and ask questions about their symptoms and you just...

  10. Competative GPA

    stefanyjoy replied to Kat23_23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ADN program I am going to take doesn't even rank GPA. It's all about the points, baby. As you can see, an A in A&P I&2 (Bio 168&169) are critical. I don't think anyone could do well in...

  11. Is chemistry important to become a nurse?

    stefanyjoy replied to strawberryluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If anything, try to think about it this way: critical thinking and taking in new information carves new neuropathways in your brain. You are becoming more intelligent, you are becoming more efficient...

  12. anyone else experience burnout before nursing school?

    stefanyjoy replied to oklahomagal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just think about all the hard work you've put in so far, and feel proud of yourself. Don't slow down before the finish line! Knock these last classes out of the park, have a mai tai, enjoy your...

  13. Saw this on Facebook. Felt the need to share.

    stefanyjoy replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh! This reminds me of the other day, I got so mad. I'm pre-nursing, but my coworker says to me, "don't be one of those nasty nurses that wears their scrubs in public places, like a store, that is so...

  14. what is harder, A&P or Chemistry?

    stefanyjoy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just curious as to everyone's thoughts. A&P I is up for me next semester, right now I'm in Organic Chemistry. General Chem was fine but Organic Chem SUCKS! There is a lot of pressure for me to get...

  15. 79K for a BSN???

    stefanyjoy replied to wishing2BAnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh! no! Work on your pre-reqs at a community college, apply to the ADN there and keep looking around for other programs in which you may be able to start sooner.. or at least a cheaper BSN program!...

  16. RN-BSN Classes?

    stefanyjoy replied to rayne215's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I will do the RN to BSN program once I am done with my ADN, and I'm also really confused at this.. they offer the program at my nearest university, which is UNC-Chapel Hill. It has one of the best BSN...

  17. Community college waiting lists

    stefanyjoy replied to erindm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Um, time shouldn't be the only stipulation involved in making this kind of decision. Obviously there is a great deal of money involved here too, so that should be the bigger factor in the "math" you...

  18. anyone take chemistry without college algebra and do good

    stefanyjoy replied to mom2twinsplus1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking an introductory algebra class (think 9th grade algebra) along side my Chemistry class. I have had no trouble so far. As long as you have basic algebraic concepts down, you'll be just fine....

  19. what is harder, A&P or Chemistry?

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

    I have to do organic chem as a pre-req to A&P since it had been over 10 years since I had had Chem in high school. Seriously, can you believe it? As if high school chem was this involved! It may...

  20. Feeling really discouraged....

    stefanyjoy posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello everyone! I am currently taking pre-requisite courses at Durham Tech to get into their ADN program. At this point, I probably will start the nursing program in Fall 2012, which already seems so...

  21. Do I have the innate characteristics of a potential CRNA?

    stefanyjoy posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Before I start off, I just want to say - yes, I know I'm not even an RN yet (I am pre-nursing.. I'm not even in nursing school yet!), but now that I'm 25 years old, and mommy to a 5 year-old, I am...

  22. Do I have the innate characteristics of a potential CRNA?

    stefanyjoy replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thank you for all the feedback. I am realistic in the fact that I have a long way to go, a lot to learn, and no doubt I will encounter experiences that may or may not change my mind. However, at this...

  23. Planning advice needed

    stefanyjoy replied to Whole Life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also 25 and I have a 5 year-old, and I constantly wish I had gotten my degree before I had a child. I waited until she turned 5 to go back to school, for me it would have been so trying to do it...

  24. "prereqs" or "coreqs"?

    stefanyjoy replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college has officially done away with the waiting list for their ADN program. Entry is based on points for completed pre-reqs, and it's a very in-demand program so you pretty much have to...

  25. Community college waiting lists

    stefanyjoy replied to erindm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    the way my community college does it, is that they score the amount of pre-reqs you have by points, and the people who have the most points, start the program. No waiting list -- if you don't get in,...
