  1. Nervous About Dosage Class

    studentLJinCA replied to BB0513's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start school next month, and I felt the same way! It had been so long since I had needed to apply any extensive conversion/math skills. But once you start reviewing, it's easy! Besides reviewing a...

  2. grossmont ADN application

    studentLJinCA replied to PeekaPooh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't rely on my word alone, but that should be sufficient! I would include that printout and also your SAR (go to fafsa online - http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/) From there, there is an orange "Start Here"...

  3. grossmont ADN application

    studentLJinCA replied to PeekaPooh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good ol' Hunter Green! Not bad, but not flattering either

  5. How to NOT gain weight in Nursing School??

    studentLJinCA replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

    We were told the same thing at orientation! Some advice we were given is to take up a P.E. class in addition to your nursing classes. They are not hard, do not require a lot of time, but it motivates...

  6. CCAC drug test...please help!

    studentLJinCA replied to dinopurple3's topic in General Students

    Yeah, is there a reason your dentist did not RE-prescribe the medication? Or was it a scenario where you took it upon yourself to treat the pain? Did he recommend it and you can get further...

  7. Venting... and questioning my path...

    studentLJinCA replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

    It seems like your friend is just jealous. You got into a program quickly, whereas for her, she may have endured a bit of a waiting period and feels like you should too. I've seen that kind of...

  8. New Student Advice

    studentLJinCA replied to johnsonny2fl's topic in General Students

    If you are fearing the math part - best to get a head start now! Not sure if it is like this at all schools - but there will be a math-based test each semester at my school that is IMPERATIVE to pass...

  9. How did you celebrate your nursing school acceptance letter?

    studentLJinCA replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I opened my acceptance e-mail (a letter soon followed), and could not contain my excitement. I quickly called my boyfriend, mother, and anyone who would listen to me!!! Then went out for dinner that...

  10. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    studentLJinCA replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What makes you think that one person's experience at nursing school would apply to the whole field? There will always be difficult people to deal with in different professions - and sometimes they...

  11. Any Grossmont College nursing students on here?

    studentLJinCA replied to bella65's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Luv2helpppl - Grossmont does not disclose point totals whether you are accepted or not (I think so people don't go around comparing point totals and looking to contest different application...

    studentLJinCA replied to fro425's topic in General Students

    If you have the same exact publisher, edition, title - you're fine. If there are ANY changes, they will be very very

    studentLJinCA replied to Tiera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TIP: In order to make it easier on them in making the decision - you should enclose a copy of the class descriptions from your Florida school catalog. Photocopy or electronic copy. That's what I had...

  15. allnurses.com helpful to busy students or an unnecessary distraction?

    studentLJinCA replied to steveogurule's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BOTH! It's nice to see what others are going through, and gain advice from those with experience. But on the other hand, I also spend WAY too much time on here just looking & reading posts that...

  16. Need a tad bit of help (or hope)

    studentLJinCA replied to HeiseC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never taken a test where the time-clock is sitting right there on the screen - it does add quite a bit of pressure. The key is calming down. Much easier said than done, I know - but it's the...

  17. Is becoming an LVN first instead of an RN a good idea?

    studentLJinCA replied to KeeKeePee's topic in General Students

    I agree with the first post by Malefocker - it depends on what area you are in California. Multiple community colleges in the San Diego area have made the gradual switch to the point system. Once they...

  18. Nursing Student & Working....HOW!!???!!

    studentLJinCA replied to reesedatdude's topic in General Students

    I am interested in the answer to this question too! I start in the Fall, and like you, I have rent, car payment, insurance, etc. to worry about each month. Out of all the excitement of beginning the...

  19. Microbiology help?

    studentLJinCA replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

    If you already survived your other classes/pre-reqs you will most certainly survive micro! Even though I enjoyed my teacher and classmates, that class was more difficult to me simply because of my...

    studentLJinCA replied to adorable42181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN.com is an online resource where nurses can attain CEUs (Continued Education). Here in California, you must get a certain number of CEUs each year in order to keep your license active/valid. So...

    studentLJinCA replied to adorable42181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start in August... and to prepare I'm just reviewing my detailed notes from A&P. Then in order to prepare for the dosage calculations (even if they are easy, that's one part that scares me the...

  22. National University - Desperate Enough to Pay Their Price Tag?

    studentLJinCA replied to BeanTrees's topic in California Nursing

    I am in San Diego as well - and although the CCs may be quite competitive with the point systems, you will never know until you apply!! You may not have a 4.0 but you DO have other healthcare...

  23. Discouraged by friends.

    studentLJinCA replied to CordaeP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As with anything else in life, you've got to surround yourself with positive, upbuilding people that support you & your goals. Don't let someone else's negativity get in the way! If nursing is...
