  1. A&P 2 and Microbio in same semester?

    NellieOlsen replied to MissCicelyC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you work or have kids? I have a friend doing AP I and microbiology this semester. She said it's difficult but she only has school to worry about. No job, kids, etc. And she got 2 GREAT professors...

  2. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    NellieOlsen replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you about Psychology! So much tedious reading. I really, really hated that class and was so relieved to finish. I've loved all of my science classes and I'm doing AP now. It's...

  3. Failing! & want to be a Nurse :(

    NellieOlsen replied to Aleida92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WHY are you taking 6 classes?? That's a lot, even for a person who doesn't work. And it's obviously too much for you because your grades are suffering. Failing speech will negatively affect your GPA...

  4. Summer Classes - Help!! =)

    NellieOlsen replied to Izonme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long are your summer terms? If you haven't checked that out yet, I'd make sure to see if they are 6-week courses, 8-week courses, 12-week courses, etc. I planned on taking APII over the summer...

  5. Has anyone taken two science coarses in one semester??

    NellieOlsen replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ultimately, it depends on the type of student you are. I'm pretty good in the sciences but since they are so important to my GPA and acceptance to nursing school, I'd much rather take one at a time so...

  6. Newbie trying to decide if I should go to private or community school

    NellieOlsen replied to J.Juarez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Private schools worry me. Mainly, the cost is always huge. But I had checked into one of our local private colleges and compared their NCLEX pass rates to my state college (we don't have community...

  7. Any Pre-Nursing students working full time or know anyone that is working full time?

    NellieOlsen replied to babyv15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full-time and I have kids. I'm doing 3 classes this semester and did 4 classes last semester. I'm busy and there's always something to study, but I'm managing fine. Just carefully plan your...

  8. Quit work for nursing school?

    NellieOlsen replied to Luckynumber9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I could afford to quit working, I certainly would. As it is, I work full time and have kids, husband, etc. I'm managing and making good grades but so much stress would be relieved if I didn't have...

  9. A&P Notes. What's your method?

    NellieOlsen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am feeling overwhelmed with A&P at this point and need to figure out an effective method for taking notes. What I've been doing so far is to scribble as many notes during class as I can, then...

  10. How many semesters is it going to take for you to finish pre-req's

    NellieOlsen replied to kaysmom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will take 4 semesters (Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall) to complete my pre-reqs. Application will go in this Fall for January class. My school also works the same as yours; I can be in the process of...

  11. A&P Notes. What's your method?

    NellieOlsen replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All great suggestions. Thank you

  12. here's my set of plans of taking RN route. please i really need an expert opinion

    NellieOlsen replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure LPN would be 35K?? I'm paying half that for my RN (ADN) at a state college. If cost is a factor, stay away from private schools. Stick with community or state colleges. Maybe you'd...

  13. Anyone taken philosophy?

    NellieOlsen replied to bigboi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took an Ethics/Moral Philosophy class last semester. It was honestly the easiest class ever. (I know that is largely dependent on your instructor so not everyone has the same experience..) It was a...

  14. FINALLY done with prereqs!!!

    NellieOlsen replied to futurenursegirl14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I can't wait until I can post the same thing.

  15. Interviewer cried during interview

    NellieOlsen replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have cried with her. I hate to see people

  16. Any good funnies in medical transcriptions?

    NellieOlsen replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    Medical transcriptionist here! I could fill pages and pages of funny things that are typed. Keep in mind that some hospitals and facilities use voice recognition to do the majority of the typing. And...

  17. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    NellieOlsen posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am planning on taking the TEAS next summer. When should I start studying? Also, I won't have college algebra done by then, only intermediate algebra. Will that be a problem? Is there a lot of...

  18. HIPAA.... violation or not....

    NellieOlsen replied to brendasue's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Seems like overkill to me for them to drop you from the program. Heck, baby names are posted on the internet as birth announcements so it's hardly classified information. If that's truly all that was...

  19. If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

    NellieOlsen replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, no. Stay out of it. What if he runs off to management and the first words out his mouth are "So and so told me I'm about to get canned.." Looks way bad on you. Definitely a case where you...

  20. Can I take all these classes in 1 semester??

    NellieOlsen replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a similar load to what I had this semester. English was the most time consuming with essays and research papers, etc. But I did 3 out of the 4 classes online which helped a ton. Some weeks are...

  21. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    NellieOlsen replied to NellieOlsen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Great! Thanks for the advice. I will definitely get that study

  22. write-up for insubordination because I turned my back to cry...

    NellieOlsen replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You only worked there for 6 days, correct? You don't even need to put that on your resume. Good luck to you! Sounds like a blessing in disguise,

  23. Spinning name badge

    NellieOlsen replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe use one of these

  24. Just when you thought you'd heard it all

    NellieOlsen replied to mizfradd's topic in General Nursing

    Chicken pox parties are still very popular among the non-vaxing/crunchy moms. And I have several friends who have done the lollipop trade too. It worked for them and their kids got the pox. Me, I...

  25. Is there dissection in A&P or other science classes?

    NellieOlsen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know this sounds totally silly, but I was wondering how much dissection, if any, there is in the science classes? More specifically, are there any frog dissections? I don't have a problem with the...
