  1. Microbiology - Summer 2012

    VIMom replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro along with Physiology and an online psychology class starting June 3. I'm really nervous about being able to do it all, if I can't maintain my current GPA...well, you know, lol. But...

  2. What to take in the summer

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

    I'm taking Physio and Micro, with Psych online this summer. The science classes meet the same two days so I'll be in class from 1-10p those days, plus an hour drive time there and then back. And I...

  3. How to balance?

    VIMom replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although I'm stressed, alot, I try to keep in mind that both my children's childhood and my time in school is going to be incredibly brief. I want to be able to enjoy both and frankly, I just play it...

  4. Do you take your laptop to class?

    VIMom replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take mine to Anatomy b/c the prof posts her slides and it's easier to download and take notes on the powerpoint directly rather than to print it out, plus it's super light to carry. I'm only one of...

  5. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    VIMom replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ladylynn6, I totally feel you. I got a 97 on my first exam, and was actually upset until I realized how silly I was being. Did I really think I'd go through the entire program and NEVER miss a point?...

  6. Nutrition 160

    VIMom replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thankfully, my nutrition class is fully online, so I can go at my own pace (sort of). Unfortunately, that also means that we're doing 2 plus chapters a week. I just finished the exam over carbs,...

  7. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    VIMom replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We just had our first major exam in my anatomy class last Monday, and b/c the prof was sick and hasn't posted the grade, and we only attend lecture/lab once a week, I have yet to see my score. I'm...

  8. Chem 2 made me cry today

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

    This may be a little late, but what's really helping me in Chem is youtube. Watching the different videos is helping me to understand it, and they often have different ways to explain and tricks to...

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

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

    I'm currently taking Anatomy (they're split at my program), Chem, and Nutrition. All three are labeled as science courses, and actually all three seem to be covering much of the same material. I'm...

  10. Waiting to hear from Cox College 2012

    VIMom replied to Camwill's topic in General Nursing

    hey, CONGRATS! I guess the 3.9 gpa was

  11. How Do I Toughen Up At Work? Part 1

    VIMom replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could go stay with your grandma? Fresh start, out of the drama for a while. If you can't control how your brothers make you act, you're going to end up becoming just like them. You obviously...

  12. Summer Classes a Good Idea?

    VIMom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my first semester of pre-reqs, and with transfers, testing out, and what I'm taking this semester I'll have what I need to apply to the ASN program at my school. I hopefully will start next...

  13. Waiting to hear from Cox College 2012

    VIMom replied to Camwill's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not waiting, but I plan on applying for the ASN program at the end of this semester. Are you doing the guarenteed acceptance thing? I'm lacking some classes for that, but have the general...

  14. A&P 1

    VIMom replied to keeithh01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like you, I'm also doing the blocked schedule thing. I'm in Anatomy (ours are split) from 8a-noon30 one day a week. That includes lab time and lecture. I still have to know everything everyone else...

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

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

    I know how you feel. I'm 27 and although I'm not really concerned with my age, it has of course crossed my mind where I could be and how much time I've wasted. I went in to register for classes for...

  16. How Do I Toughen Up At Work? Part 1

    VIMom replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    "If you grew up in an overly critical or unstable atmosphere, you probably hear a negative inner message that mocks and attacks everything you say or do. When a real person comes along and gives voice...

  17. bsn or rn-msn

    VIMom replied to hopefulprayers1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I debated this same option but for different reasons. I decided to go for my asn, then rn-msn because the asn program takes less time and I could start working sooner as an RN, the program I'm looking...

  18. Shy, timid pre-nurse

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

    I'm not sure how much advice I can give, but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I also worry that I am too sensitive for nursing, in every sense of the word. I fake it pretty well, no...

  19. Applying and entering Nursing Shool

    VIMom replied to juneb65's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The college I'm attending is directed towards non-traditional students. They offer mostly afternoon/night classes and most of the classes are either online/hybrid or blocked scheduled. I'll be taking...

    VIMom replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    this is the site i used to learn how to find the square root. www.homeschoolmath.net/teaching/square-root-algorithm.php then i took some practice quizzes online to practice, practice,

  21. TEAS; timing questions (time/section)

    VIMom replied to Traveler0202's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'd like to know about that as well, unscored questions? I've never heard of such a thing! I'm also confused as to whether we're allowed calculators or not. I've seen some posts where people were and...

  22. Is any job with the hospital a "foot" in?

    VIMom replied to AmyLooV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really can't say about the 'foot in the door' issue, but if pressed I'd say it wouldn't be worth it unless you're really strapped for cash. I wouldn't think it would offer any more opportunities;...
