    I've made up my mind!!!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to hanifah215's topic in General Students

    I'd say sit down, think it out to the best of your knowledge. Honestly, I trickled around on this site for a couple of months before I sealed the decision on wanting Nursing to be the career of the...

    What would you do?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to NEooops's topic in General Students

    That's just horrible. I hate to hear that. I am going to go with what the PP said and explain or show your supervisor what it is you do get done on your shifts. I know how it feels to be the quiet...

    To work as a CNA during LVN school or not to

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

    Considering you have bills, I would say that it's most likely be your best interest to stay where you're comfortable and in the form of knowing your bills will get paid, along with having guaranteed...

    Hardest Prerequisite

    Iridescent Orchid replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly what you mean. I've never been the greatest at math, period...and this pre-req is nearly killing me, because of the stress of having to pass it to apply for the program. I have to pass...

    Advice for LPN school

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Nurse2B 2012's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! I'm going to go ahead and tell you that being nervous is 100% natural! I know you'll do great. I'm nervous at just the thoughts of acceptance into the program, and I still have one...

    Please advise me!

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

    Working as a Tech in any healthcare setting can boost your resume, along with perhaps getting a certification as a CNA as well. Any volunteer work dealing with a hospital setting always looks...

    Confused on how this works?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most likely not, but check with your adviser to be certain. At my school, you do have to pass the general math pre-req with a B or higher in order to be selection ready, though. More than likely, if...

    Hardest Prerequisite

    Iridescent Orchid replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far it's all been easy to me, for the most part. Of course I have struggles with certain lessons, but nothing a bit of studying won't fix. I take A&P and Psychology this coming semester, can't...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in a pretty small town, and although we have students from other close cities coming to my school for their education, there still isn't as many as there is in other areas, so there is hardly...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm almost done with my pre-reqs for my LPN program. I'm not currently having any difficulties with the classes, but you really have to focus and devote some time into your studies to keep the highest...

    Macon State nursing program questions

    Iridescent Orchid replied to jklaporta's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I haven't been through their program, but from what I've heard they take all of what you stated into account. I can't say too much, since I haven't partaken in any of their programs, but I do...

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

    Thanks you guys. I hate you all had to go through this as well, but I suppose it all makes us who we are in the end and our future really is the most important thing. I wish you all the best of luck...

    Workplace isn't WORKING with me...

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

    LOL, thanks carbon! I think I pretty much created this topic question, knowing deep down what I want and should do, there's just a lot of family around questioning why I'd quit my job and go to...

    Workplace isn't WORKING with me...

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

    I'm working because I've worked consistently since I was 16. It's not really all that stupid of a question, for I feel a void coming from when I do quit working for a bit. I'm used to working and...

    Nursing or Teaching?!?!

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

    I was in the ECE program for 2 semesters and I just got burned out on it all. I'm 20, my mom had my siblings when I was 16-19. I think that played a part, just as it did for you when you had a child....

    Need some Positive feedback

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

    I can definitely imagine your frustration considering they are classes that you've already taken. I would not be thrilled about having to retake any courses either. At my college, if the classes you...

    Community college for LPN

    Iridescent Orchid replied to loulou55's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm going to second what windmill182 said about getting with your adviser. They'll be able to tell you everything in the world that you need or want to know. I believe a lot of schools are different...

    LPN to RN vs. straight to RN

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

    I know this thread is quite old, but I figured I'd give my thoughts on the subject, just in case you're still around reading or still haven't decided what is best for you. Maybe someone else will...

    Beginning the nurse journey hopefully! Advice?

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

    Hey Sj, welcome to the forums! I'm quite new here myself, and there's so much to look at here that you'll feel overwhelmed at first, I know I did. I'm finally starting to adjust and take all of the...

    Pre-req math classes for nursing school

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

    My college requires us to take Basic College Mathematics as a pre-req for my LPN program, but that's it. Later on you do have to learn dosages, but that will come within the Nursing Program itself and...

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

    No problem, trust me, I understand! It took me forever and a day to decide what was my best route. I had to talk a lot of options over with my adviser and research for what seemed like forever before...

    It's at my technical college, I'm from a small city and it's LPN Program. I suppose I should have been more specific or spared you all of the off-topic details. There is a college campass here that...
