    feeling discouraged :( . rejected

    Iridescent Orchid replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For you to have done so well and be that motivated during pre-reqs, you have to feel some sort of passion for this profession! Don't give up. Find study material for the TEAS and study your heart out...

    I'm #23 on the lottery that only takes 22!!!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mrsb04's topic in General Students

    More than likely you're in! I always hear about how a few people never show up or drop the program! You stand a very good chance of getting in there. Good luck! Let us know how it

    You all CAN do this!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to rnbb84's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I am so glad all of your devotion and hard work paid off! And thank you for this thread and the kind words! I'm in my last semester of pre-reqs and ready to take this Nursing program

    Prerequisites, Advice..Questions.

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

    I'm about to be taking a Hybrid Psychology course. I prefer that as opposed to 100% online. I've been taking online for 1.5 years and I'm sick of it. Fortunately, I don't mind hybrid. I don't believe...

    GPA

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

    I think it's really beneficial for colleges to allow retakes for certain classes or allow you to pick up something extra to boost your GPA a tad, as long as there is a limit. Everyone makes mistakes...

    How do you organize your school items?

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

    I've been taking 1.5 inch binders for classes. I find that they work greatly for pre-reqs! Once you are in the Nursing Program, I suppose it's wise to ease up a good .5 to 1 inch for each. Each class...

    Wouldn't believe it if I told you

    Iridescent Orchid replied to WKredz5's topic in General Students

    Seriously? I just can't get over the point you were trying to make with the thread...maybe you were just bored and wanted to see how other nurses and students reacted. If not, I'm worried that you...

    Wouldn't believe it if I told you

    Iridescent Orchid replied to WKredz5's topic in General Students

    That's a scary thought! I would have had to take it to someone. You can never be too cautious of those you work with. If you think they are under the influence of something, mistreating a patient,...

    Food for thought for nursing students.

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Hope63's topic in General Students

    Agreed! I plan on getting my CNA Certification and hate the picture painted for us. I've heard horror stories on the way CNAs are treated. What you said, I agreed with 100%! Keep doing what you're...

    How did nursing school effect your health?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to RangeinPlace's topic in General Students

    Nursing School/Pre-Nursing has me want to stay healthy more, even with all the stress. I actually feel stress relief from going to the gym and working out often. I know once I'm in the program, I'll...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    I'll be in my last semester of pre-reqs! I'm really excited! Good luck

    Nice and safe place to live in Warner Robins?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to FNPdude74's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've lived in Warner Robins my entire life. Crime happen in any city or state, but Macon has a pretty high crime rate for the area. We're right beside it. Behind the Houston Medical Center is a really...

    Starting pre-req's in a few weeks. What's on your supply list?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to my3mracles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cannot seem to stop buying supplies! I'm pretty sure this is stemming from the fact that I've been out of a classroom setting for such an extended period of time...I'm worried I won't be prepared...

    Backpack for school

    Iridescent Orchid replied to SkiMama's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Right now I'm using a Dakine. I've never seen that brand around my area, so I bought it online...I was hesitant. I didn't think it'd be big enough to hold my books and supplies, but I was shocked at...

    Going for it but scared...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mara1419's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I don't have kids, I can still help you with some keys on how to survive pre-reqs. I've got two more weeks before I am in my last semester of them. Focus. This is really important. By focus, I...

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My customer service job has ran it’s course…it's that simple...I’m done. My two-weeks notice goes in this Tuesday, and my last day will be the 23rd. I want to focus on school and not have a...

    GENERAL ED LENGTH

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Nato408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As an LPN student, hearing what others have had to take before the program, I've actually been shocked at the small list of pre-reqs and gen eds I've had to take! SCT100 (Microcomputers)...

    Dis anyone else have to take an elective?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Students

    We weren't required to take an elective, so I'm lucky with that so far. I'm pretty sure that'll be a whole different ball game when I go for my RN though. Since they had Nutrition as an option, if...

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

    Just an update, so I can rant a little at the same time! So, I put in my two weeks notice, had to write a note explaining my decision (briefly) - it's been a day, and it got to the store manager and...

    Calling All 2012 Nursing Applicants!

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

    Where are you from? I live in a small city in Georgia. What type of program are you applying for? (ADN, BSN, MSN etc...) LPN for now! Are you applying for spring or fall? Winter, actually! Our...

    Shy, awkward, introverted nurse-to-be! Can it happen?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to cccormier's topic in General Students

    I'm definitely an introvert to the most extent. I'm most definitely have an awkward feeling around everyone I meet, at first! I used to be so much worse, like to the point of my face turning bloodshot...

    I feel like I have failed myself; I need some helpppp.

    Iridescent Orchid replied to jessicax221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to your adviser, see what she has to say and what she can do to help you! If they let you retake this course, approach it with a set game plan of how to get the material down. I'm about to be...

    I need serious study tips. Having problems.

    Iridescent Orchid replied to JoshNurseStudent's topic in General Students

    Do you have any index cards? Skim through each paragraph and pick out the key factors/points and print them on index cards, so you can lay in bed or sit at your desk and flip through them over and...

    Studying before your program starts?

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

    It never hurts to get ahead by reading a chapter or two. I've been freaking out about A&P myself, so I went and bought way more supplemental learning materials than I should have - but, the only...

    Who excited about the new semester

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

    I'm really trying to prepare myself the best I can! I bought a few A&P books to increase my learning and Kaplan's Medical Anatomy Flash Cards are helping me remember a lot of basics from my...
