  1. Tips for getting help from family while in school....

    crittytn replied to hb08491's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm afraid I only have negative things to say and nothing positive, so I won't go there in details. I wish you the best of luck though in all you're

  2. Chem 2 made me cry today

    crittytn replied to ixchel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, honey, sorry about the grade! I know that's frustrating to work so hard and not get the result you wanted. Maybe you can make an appointment to meet with the professor to go over your test and...

  3. Chem 2 made me cry today

    crittytn replied to ixchel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally understand. It was Chem I 15 years ago that made me change my major to psychology and I never took Chem II...until now. Hang in there! I just try to figure that everyone has their...

  4. Any one else applying right now

    crittytn replied to canut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sent my application in last month, so I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. I don't know when I'll hear anything from them. They say they do an interview, so I just hope I'll hear soon about scheduling...

  5. So discouraged and ready to quit

    crittytn replied to leekaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I am from TN, Knoxville born and raised. :thankya: Love my home state and home town for sure. My mom lived up in Kingsport for a couple of years, so I'm a little familiar with that area too....

  6. So discouraged and ready to quit

    crittytn replied to leekaye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, sweetie, I'm glad you're feeling better. You most definitely can do this!!! I have those same moments of being overwhelmed and am I going to be able to do this? FWIW, I'm 34 and an almost...

  7. Nurse to Medical Transcriptionist...

    crittytn replied to finallyRN7's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm an at-home transcriptionist (not medical trans, though) heading to nursing school soon (hopefully!). Medical transcriptionists breaking into the profession are having a difficult time. The...

  8. RIDICULOUS RULES!

    crittytn replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad to see you're making some progress. Hang in

  9. Waiting game!

    crittytn replied to RNhopeful21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Waiting here too, but my application just got there earlier this week, so I'm at the beginning of the wait. Not sure exactly how long the wait is to find out, but figuring about two months. Nail...

  10. *Microbiology Spring 2012*

    crittytn replied to Lala718's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I started mine. Actually, my teacher for Micro seems nice and helpful luckily. But it's a lot of work and then with the other classes...

  11. Anatomy Physiology Spring 2012

    crittytn replied to trulyblessed2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking A&P1 this semester starting Thursday. I'm hopeful with all the reading I've done on here (thank you!) that I know how to focus my energies for the course. I'm taking a full course...

  12. When does your Spring Semester start and what r u taking?

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

    Mine starts Jan 12. And you don't want to know everything I'm taking! It's 15 hours, though. I'm a second career person, so I already have a bachelors and other master level degree. I'm trying to...

  13. Pray for me...

    crittytn replied to Lucidity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck!! You can do it!

  14. *Microbiology Spring 2012*

    I'm with you guys this semester. I don't start until the 12th in TN. I'm excited to get started! I've been planning all of this for a few months and it will actually be real in a week.

  15. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    crittytn replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shoulda, coulda, woulda. All that matters is what you're doing now and what you're going to do in the future. Coming from the 34-year-old single-mom-to-be going back to school again and starting...

  16. Do you think im crazy for my nurse aspiration?

    crittytn replied to nursewannabe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trying to minimize the amount of student loans is advisable, however. I think the financial advisors (not the ones at schools, though!) recommend the max you take out in student loans be the salary...

  17. financial advice for pre nursing students

    crittytn replied to leana212's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community colleges are much cheaper. I think you have to take a full-time course load to receive financial aid. But you'd be best off to talk to someone at a school's financial aid office. They...

    crittytn replied to MissyBee4983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    crittytn replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For pre-reqs, you'll just have to look at the schools you're thinking of applying to and see what they require. It'll vary depending on Associates, Bachelors programs and the specific school. I went...

  20. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    crittytn replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're putting way too many rules and conditions on all of this. Your post is a mile long list of demands and demands that must be met right now as opposed to a few years from now, yet I fail to see...

  21. A bit frustrated in school/nursing career

    crittytn replied to Looking_ahead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be the old lady (haha, only 34!) and chime in here. I think in this instance, you would be well served to go volunteer at a hospital or find a nurse to shadow for a few days. You really need to...

  22. How did you do it?

    crittytn replied to FutureBSN?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the poster above me has some sound advice. I am applying to an accelerated program, but I have been given a situation where I will be able to do this financially while still taking care of...

    crittytn replied to lost&confused's topic in Nursing Career

  24. When to Apply to Nursing School..?

    crittytn replied to Cherry02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's particular to the school. One program I'm looking at doesn't care, you just list what you're currently enrolled in and what you're planning to take. Appropriate grades and completion of prereqs...

  25. Clinical instructor intimidated by my height?

    crittytn replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I am an extremely short girl--5 feet even. Tall doesn't bother me personally. One of my BFFs totally towers over me. And the other one is shorter than me even! However, if you're this worried about...
