    My novel and words of inspiration to share with current students & soon to be GN!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Wow! Amazing story! Thank you so much for the inspiration! I have such a good ways to go before I reach this point, but am so glad I took the time to read this! You can bet money I'll be thinking...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to IUstudent's topic in General Students

    Good luck in all of your courses! I know you'll do just fine! I tend to struggle with group projects myself! Just make sure you pair yourself with your fellow serious students if you're able to pick...

    CNA Training for Pre-Nursing Student?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to purpleorchid3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say it's beneficial. Go for it if you're able to do so. :) It will make you more comfortable going into the actual program towards your BSN. It's usually somewhat inexpensive, and a fairly quick...

    I need to vent out, Please give me your advice..

    Iridescent Orchid replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    Try your best to find a solution to your anxiety. You have from now until January to save money. Try to save what little you can save and see where that takes you. Maybe you guys could get a roommate?...

    Tired of Pre-Reqs

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

    I'm tired of pre-reqs and it's only been one term...I've got one more semester left. That's the great thing about my LPN Program...not that long of a pre-req time, but if I'm too anxious already, I...

    Going shopping for school supplies tomorrow

    Iridescent Orchid replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean! I've been working at walmart and just seeing people coming up with all of their school supplies, I'd be ringing it up, and constantly my mind was making mental notes of the sort,...

    Bachelors in Nursing?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Slappy619's topic in General Students

    Keep on moving! Hopefully you can get your hands on a RN-to-BSN accelerated/bridge program. A BSN will widen your range of positions and in a lot of scenarios it will even boost your income. Good...

    Quick Question About a Loan, please!

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bottom line, is there any reason someone would NOT qualify for a Federal Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan, aside from what is listed below? I've never taken out any type of loan before, so kind if...

    Quick Question About a Loan, please!

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

    Thank you. I'm just nervous because this is my school's very first time participating in federal student loans. I just wanted reassurance on the whole ordeal, considering they are also running a bit...

    I have my syllabus, textbooks, and 1 week to go...Should I start reading now?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    LOL, calm down and take a deep breath, everything will be ok! Don't let the enormous sizes of the books make you panic! There will be enough time to learn what there is to learn if you devote enough...

    Anatomy Coloring Book?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ThriveGirl's topic in General Students

    I looked up the ISBN. I have Kapit's Physiology Coloring Book! Maybe you could check into Prismacolor if you wanted something more of the higher quality! I'd love to use them, but my crayola does just...

    Anatomy Coloring Book?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ThriveGirl's topic in General Students

    They work and blend amazingly on my Kaplan Coloring Book. Maybe the book you're looking at has glossed pages that markers work better with.

    I've pulled my GPA up!

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was sitting at a 2.82 for a bit and didn't really like that. I've just taken my first pre-reqs for the LPN program and made A's in both. It pulled my cumulative GPA up to a 3.13 and My curricular is...

    Anatomy Coloring Book?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ThriveGirl's topic in General Students

    I've been using Crayola. So far, I've only needed basic colors! I'd recommend only using coloring pencils. Markers may bleed through, crayons may be too wide for some of the small areas you'll find...

    Does anyone like when their school picks their classes

    Iridescent Orchid replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    I rather it be this way! That way I stay balanced out and on the right path to graduate in time and not overwhelm myself by my own pick of hands. My school automatically chooses your classes in the...

    LPN / ADN / BSN / MSN. Whats YOUR plan?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to peacelovestar's topic in General Students

    No, I was stating I've been twiddling my thumbs much longer than I wanted to. I'm not at the completion that I wish I was at by now, is all I was

    LPN / ADN / BSN / MSN. Whats YOUR plan?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to peacelovestar's topic in General Students

    I'm 21...I feel like a late bloomer into the Nursing field. I was majoring in Early Childhood Education...my heart just wasn't there! I've changed my route. I just feel like I've been wasting my time...

    Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school only has the option for taking them combined as one course. I believe I'd enjoy it a lot more, being separated - but I'm starting next week, so I might actually enjoy them being together...

    quitting while i'm ahead

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

    I'd get a medical diagnosis on your feelings of anxiety, so you can go about a way to lead a more happier, less stressful life that anxiety can cause. I've went through anxiety, but mine is triggered...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to cherryblossomRN's topic in General Students

    Those books make me drool! I can't wait to finish up these last pre-reqs! I'm ready to get my hands on these and have an excuse to buy all the extra nursing books too! Good luck you

    Morning routine? What is it on those early morning days... Help!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    There is a study that states it takes around 21 days to form a bad habit, and 66 to form a good one. What you want to do is find something that you want to get into a habit of. Your friend does the...

    Federal Stafford Loan

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in General Students

    OK, to sum events up into a short summary...I've been working Customer Service for years. It's definitely not my forte. Lately, it hasn't been at all and where I'm working, they aren't working with my...

    Question.

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Donna2011's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I took 1012 and 1010, I made an A in both...and quite frankly, I've always struggled with math. I made C's and F's in math from middle school on. That's the truth. I even struggled with remedial math....
