  1. Can't get into nursing school!

    Boxer Mama replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with retaking the courses to get a better grade. Nursing programs everywhere are very competitive to get into. I work from home, have three kids and I spend literally six days a week at...

  2. Student loan debt?

    Boxer Mama replied to lossholly's topic in General Students

    I have chosen to skip the community college route, where I might possibly be able to apply to in two years when they open up their wait list, and spend the money on a private school in an associates...

  4. Pathophysiology online?

    Boxer Mama replied to djaltic's topic in General Students

    I am taking patho online currently over the summer. I have taken numerous online courses now, even though this is my first online science course. I agree with the previous post that it is not enough...

    Boxer Mama replied to Mandy0728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking a BLS course on Tuesday designed for healthcare professionals, but it was reasonably priced (under

  6. Statistics online

    Boxer Mama replied to Jenjer003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took statistics online last semester, and while I did well in the class, it was very, very time consuming and one of my more difficult classes. I spent a lot of time researching how to use a...

    Boxer Mama replied to angelfocusbroken's topic in General Students

    I feel this way too. I still have to pass my HESI that I will take in August, but I should be starting school in September for a BSN program, and I am terrified! I am absolutely questioning if I can...

  8. What classes did/are you take/taking for Summer?

    Boxer Mama replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. I'm getting a little frustrated here.

    Boxer Mama replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While reading your post, my advice to give to you is you "just do it!" (I know, a very over-used phrase). Like previous posts, look into a program you are interested and see what classes they...

  10. Volunteering.

    Boxer Mama replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have started volunteering at a local hospital with one of my dogs doing animal-assisted therapy. I just started because it took a long time to get everything in order, but this is something that I...

  11. getting sick from microbiology

    Boxer Mama replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

  13. Question about the Science courses

    Boxer Mama replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me six semester to complete my pre-reqs, but I am going to attend a BSN program, so I still had some general education credits to complete as well. For my science courses, I had to start with...

  14. Denver School of Nursing Process Information

    Boxer Mama replied to jjhc2006's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Okay, so now a couple of weeks out from that exciting email and July seems soooooooo far away!!! I have been researching BLS/CPR courses to take (any suggestions welcome) and I keep prepping for the...

  15. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Boxer Mama replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so happy that I am not alone in getting everything done! I guess if we have to hire a nanny (my mom will not help as she is not comfortable driving into the city, and my MIL already watches her...

  16. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Boxer Mama replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I had a little freak out today over school, and I think you all might understand. I have no clue how I am going to pull this off in the fall. My oldest son, 10, will be starting competitive...

  17. Online Stats

    Boxer Mama replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took stats this past semester online, and I did end up with an A. It was a lot of work and a lot of time. The calculations are not all that difficult, but knowing what formulas to use is...

  18. How likely is success in summer classes?

    Boxer Mama replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 2 last summer in a 10-week session. It was a lot of information to get through, and I studied all the time, never went anywhere without my study cards (even on dates with my husband)....

  19. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Boxer Mama replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Math 103 Online Colorado Community College Online

    Boxer Mama replied to Wendilee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While it was not math 103, I did just finish taking math 121 (college algebra) and math 135 (statistics) online through CCConline. I will not lie - I worked my tail off. We used the Pearson math lab...

  21. Do you have a plan B?

    Boxer Mama replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually had no plan B. I turned in my application 5-1/2 weeks ago and found out today I was selected to proceed with the interview (woohoo)! I tried to think of a plan B, but there is nothing...

  22. Older students..who else wishes they could move into a dorm..

    Boxer Mama replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds wonderful! I also have a husband, 3 kids and 3 dogs. A nice, quiet apartment would be so nice. I will just have to settle for locking myself in my room (with everyone knocking at the...

  24. Is Denver School of Nursing worth it?

    Boxer Mama replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am a medical transcriptionist from home, but I really do not make all that much. I am not sure how we are going to do this. Lots of cheap dinners. There is just no way I will make it if I have to...

    Boxer Mama posted a topic in Colorado Nursing
