  2. My Nursing Diploma School Essay (Please Read :D)

    prospectivepville replied to aka640's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think so much that it's about negativity, it's about how much negativity is boring. I know any time I hear a sad story from one of my peers I usually tune out the negative things, until their...

  4. Scrub Blues, but not in blue

    prospectivepville posted a topic in General Students

    I just went to my RN orientation today, and was so disappointed with the uniforms they've chosen. Instead of selling the patches separately, and allowing us to put them on (I'm a sewing champ!)...

  5. Having meltdown, financial aid suspension, no money, classes begin in 2wks

    prospectivepville replied to pickled_tink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is a horrible situation! I never received financial aid until I lost my job, and now that I have it, I know exactly how lucky I am. It can be a miserable and trying time especially for those...

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

    prospectivepville replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

  7. help me! i need to make a decision: "college or University$$$"??

    prospectivepville replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Students

    You're in the same boat as I was! I got into a technical college program, and also a private university (they just obtained university status this year). Both only offer ADN, so I was absolutely...

  8. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    prospectivepville replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. maggots

    prospectivepville replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

    I hate myself sometimes for having a draw to the disgusting things. The only thing that really turns my stomach is that hocking sound some people make when they cough, and then don't

  10. 2-C's and im really needing advice

    prospectivepville replied to kdaniels39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be sick to your stomach! The first time I took A&P 1 I thought I'd been working my butt off, but guess what? Big ole D! It doesn't matter how well you do on all the laboratory work if you...

  11. Should I get my EMT Basic?

    prospectivepville replied to KeepCalmCarryOn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could always be a CNA. My best friend took an EMT-B class while doing our pre-reqs (this is years ago, and I took a few years off before actually putting forth the right effort in school). She...

  13. Question about A&P 1

    prospectivepville replied to whisman1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    KHAN ACADEMY! The BEST youtube channel for math, and step by step instructions/explanations. Still not an all inclusive thing, but watching some of the videos over and over especially helped me...

  14. Statistics! Advise: Online or Classroom?

    prospectivepville replied to msg88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest online ONLY if there is a tutoring facility you can go to for hands on instruction in your spare time. OR your instructor is really generous with their time, and will meet with you...

  15. How many points did you have when applying for Nursing?

    prospectivepville replied to tke4life556's topic in General Students

    One of the college's in my area has known as what's "automatic acceptance" which means you qualify for the program with a 3.0 AND a minimum score of 24 on your ACT. HOWEVER they have have a limited...

    prospectivepville replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3t8gtN-Wfk This may help you understand it more! I'm not sure if this explains it, but the way it works is, if there is an area of greater concentration of salt outside...

  18. A&P1 online over summer..

    prospectivepville replied to Hoser's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do take it, although I have not had any experience with A&P online, consider looking for youtube videos also. There's a wonderful one... I'm not quite sure what it's called, but it's a...

  19. 2-C's and im really needing advice

    prospectivepville replied to kdaniels39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your grades have nothing on mine. My first actual semester in College, I got a D in A&P I. I ignored it for a long time, thinking Nursing was something I didn't want to do. Then, after a few...

  20. Anyone waiting on acceptance letter from IUN or any schools?

    prospectivepville replied to godswillbedone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I received my acceptance letter a few months ago. Not to your university, but a small one here in Eastern Kentucky. It's a ASN program, but I'm so proud of myself I could blow bubbles! Now to just...

  21. Areas of nursing

    prospectivepville replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    Ahem... 1. ER (I'm like you theantichick, I could just eat sleep and breath trauma! But I'm a former 911 operator, I like the sudden panic, the calming people down, and my best friend is an EMT, so...

    prospectivepville replied to Ellis02136's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. 2-C's and im really needing advice

    prospectivepville replied to kdaniels39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really need to see how the transfer credits worked at your school! Sometimes they take A&P II in lieu of Physio. You just have to make sure the equivalencies balance out. Also, you need to...

  24. How did your clinicals go?

    prospectivepville replied to msmo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have to say it was one of the most awkward experiences of my life! I did my clinicals in a nursing home also, and probably the kind of place you'd hide a family member that was less than your...

  25. Any one else over 40 that went to nursing school?

    prospectivepville replied to Lpntxn1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 23 and I was so concerned about being older than everyone else in my class! Honestly, you should be proud of yourself. You have something on everyone else there, years of experience, wisdom, and...
