    Really want to be a nurse but....I may have a problem :(

    Iridescent Orchid replied to augajaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe you'll be just fine, like others have said, it may be dealing with the fact that it was your son being stitched. Even if you are a little nauseous in general by these things, I've read many...

    Just curious... How much are pre-reqs costing you?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always make sure to keep my FAFSA applied for when the time comes and currently it's been enough to really, really, tremendously help me out. Pell and Hope have made completing these pre-reqs...

    How to prepare myself for the LVN program?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mvalentine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Definitely start studying A&P in little sections at a time. I use Kaplan Anatomy Flashcards and they've helped me a lot during the course, as well as before! I'm sure I'll be able to refer back to...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to hallpaula's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi hallpaula! GASummer gave you some wonderful advice and from what I've seen and have inquired about, much of the information she's given you still rings true. I'm currently in my last semester of...

    You're quite welcome! I hope you will benefit in every way from changing your career to Nursing and that you may have few to no regrets! I believe you'll do just fine on the COMPASS. Breath in and...

    Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    Iridescent Orchid replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After December 15th, I'll be on the same boat as you guys! The program semester will start on January 5th though, so I'm hoping there won't be much of a waiting period from the end of this semester to...

    227 on PSB! 3 more points...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    On my 2nd attempt at the PSB I scored a raw score 227. I felt relieved considering my 1st score was a 209, but I still didn't do good enough! We have to make at least a 230 to be up for selection....

    Compass Test

    Iridescent Orchid replied to WANT2BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How fresh are you out of high school? If it's only been a couple of years, you'll do just fine! If not, just refresh yourself on basic math skills, spelling, etc. -- you may feel less stressed when...

    Cheating classmates

    Iridescent Orchid replied to jrt71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they're cheating, you won't have to worry with them for much longer. I can understand it being quite annoying, especially since they do it on a regular basis, but they'll never make it through the...

    Pre-Nursing Advisement

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mmink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also going pretty similar to the same route as well! It's always refreshing to meet others who are doing the same (there doesn't seem to be many of us! ) I'm currently in my last semester of...

    PSB...2 more chances...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the PSB for the first time two weeks ago...I made a 210 and we have to make a 230 in order to be selection ready. I did horribly in math and am feeling discouraged in a sense. I'd hate to go...

    I am so frustrated with Anatomy & Physiology :(

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If Nursing is the only career you see yourself happy in, please stick through it. Hear me and the others out, please. Can you see yourself in any other profession happy? Does nursing make you happy?...

    Is Nursing School Hard?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't call it easy or extremely hard, but you definitely have to have an ample amount of care and interest in helping others, and have somewhat of a middle when it comes to empathy. I'm having a...

    Yay... I'm starting classes on 10/25

    Iridescent Orchid replied to JulieVN:)'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I'm here wishing you the best of luck and look forward to updates on your journey when you have the time! Have fun and stay

    People in my program don't care!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to BosRMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just keep focusing on you, and don't let their lack of care rub off on you! This is way programs have standards, rules, and pre-reqs you must complete before the program. It really helps weed out...

    A and P getting harder during midterms and on?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'm feeling the same way you're feeling. For me, I don't think it's so much the material getting more difficult, I think my brain is tired and that I spent too much time studying throughout...

    Irritating Classmates

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I've read so many of these replies and sometimes feel like someone is talking specifically about certain students in my classes! I swear...I'm so glad I was born with the ability to keep my mouth shut...

    Which Specialty Do You Have Your Eye On?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to palemoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely see myself working ER/Trauma for a great amount of my career starting out. Eventually, I see myself going into a local Pediatrics office when I'm much older and settling down with my...

    CNA or hospital job?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to stigrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for the hospital! It's also my dream to work in one of the biggest local hospitals closest to me after graduation. If I could get in before, I so wouldn't hesitate! While the CNA experience may be...

    How's everyone's fall semester going?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad so many of us are doing fairly well and wish the best of luck to everyone for the rest of the semester! I'm doing so much greater than I felt I would. I remember being nervous on the 1st day...

    PSB-LPN Exam

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mylittlelulu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also taking my PSB-LPN this month, with hope of getting January-entry as well! From what I've heard other LPN Applicants or those who are already in the program - it's not something you can truly...

    Is it possible to get a job as a CNA at the age of 17?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to sjalv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd check with your state or local Department of Labor. From what I've seen it varies from state to state. They'll be able to give you the correct answer depending on where you reside! I've noticed...

    Anyone Take the PSB Entrance Exam?!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ChristineN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks to all of you that mentioned temperature conversions! It's been so long since I used these in high school, that I forgot everything about them. I just freshened up on my skills and feel a lot...

    internet vs classroom

    Iridescent Orchid replied to tpejjj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Online courses are good for many situations, such as being able to contort it while working, or taking care of other responsibilities that may make a classroom setting hard. However, weigh out your...
