    AmberHopefulRN replied to melissar1127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! It was just about 3 weeks after the deadline when I got my letter (2/20) but the date on the letter was a day past 2 weeks after the deadline (02/15). The deadline to apply was January...

  2. speech

    AmberHopefulRN replied to ayepacheco's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for it! I, too, dreaded public speaking, but became a lot more confident after my public speaking class. The best advice I can give you is to practice, practice, practice. Practice in front of a...

  3. Anxiously checking the mail everyday...

    AmberHopefulRN replied to melissar1127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AmberHopefulRN replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! I just applied at the end of January and won't find out until the end of February or beginning of March. I have to keep telling myself it is still only the beginning/middle of February and not...

  9. Need advice about my schedule: too much?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you aren't sure that the Biology you are taking will transfer, I would call an advisor at the school you plan to get your BSN and ask if that class will transfer. If it won't transfer and they...

  10. Anyone dealing with a discouraging advisor?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it! I am taking 5 classes this semester while working part time and have a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old. As of midterm, I had 4 A's and a B and I plan on bringing that B up to an A by the...

  11. Any good funnies in medical transcriptions?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    Medical transcriptionist here as well! I edit voice recognition and see funny errors all the time that I have to correct. My recent favorite is when the voice recognition typed "the patient's name...

  14. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    AmberHopefulRN replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah, sometimes I think fashion designers just come up with the stupidest looking outfits to see who will wear it just because it has Prada or whatever on

  15. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi fellow Springfieldian! What school are you going to? I am doing my pre-reqs at OTC and then transferring to MSU for my

  16. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school we have the option of taking them combined or separated. I took them combined, but have heard from other people that they are easier when separated. I had to take it twice as I moved...

  17. What are you taking this semester?

    AmberHopefulRN replied to AliF's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Chem, Religions of the World, Ethics, and Sociology. Kind of worried about Chem, as I didn't do too well in high school chemistry, but we'll see how the semester

  18. scared freshman

    AmberHopefulRN replied to amber_bsc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would stick with 4 classes. That will be plenty to keep you busy, especially with a 1 yo. Six classes is a LOT, especially depending on what you are taking. If you are taking any of the harder...

  19. Nursing with fibroids

    AmberHopefulRN replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    Genuinely curious and not trying to be snarky at all, but what would be the difference between wearing it for 8-12 hours while you sleep and wearing it 8-12 hours during the day? Wouldn't the same...

  20. Nursing with fibroids

    AmberHopefulRN replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you can use them for regular cycles, although as someone else pointed out earlier, the Diva is one of the largest on the market, and another brand may be better for a 13-year-old. I have never...

  21. Nursing with fibroids

    AmberHopefulRN replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    I also have fibroids and bleed heavily with my periods. I use a Diva Cup and it has been a lifesaver for the bleeding. I can go up to 8-12 hours without having to empty the cup, depending on how...
