    I am trying so hard to just relax

    rubato replied to Camwill's topic in General Students

    I just got back from Europe, which was wonderful. Now, I'm running and exercising as much as possible. I know that I won't have as much time once school starts and I want to start in the best shape...

    Anybody in the same boat?

    I took CNA along with a 5 credit hour A & P, college algebra and comp 1. I did have some stressful times, but nothing I couldn't

    People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    rubato replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    Yes, it's true. I'm not even a nursing student yet either (start on the 20th). Haven't had one second of clinicals, not one second of lecture. I have had 3 people come up to me now asking for advice....

    I had a TI-84 and loved all the extra features it had over the TI-83. I, of course, had to get lessons in how to use the stupid thing from my professor, but it was

    Mine arrived today. It is a really good color and is so much better than the cheapy I used to get through CNA school. I have everything I need

    Perfect enough???

    rubato replied to Ansumana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college uses ACT scores, but it's all the same type of deal. I had a 4.0 and was worried. Made it, but know someone with a 4.0 that didn't make

    What specialty are you considering?

    rubato replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being that I haven't started school yet, my hope is hospice care with oncology as my lead in. However, I'm open to anything at all. I just want to work. I know that I want to work in a hospital...

    How often are clinicals?

    rubato replied to ava-virgo's topic in General Students

    2 days per week, 8 hours each day. But, we only have 1 per week for the first couple of weeks. I guess we need to be gently guided into

    When do you find time to work out?

    rubato replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    I started my 4:30 wake up and run routine today to get ready for school (start in 2 weeks). This is gonna be tough! Maybe I won't run every day after

    Just a quick question about your clinical schedule????

    When do you find time to work out?

    rubato replied to emcadams's topic in General Students

    I wish I could safely do this. I can ride a good 40 to 50 miles at a time, but I live 30 minutes by car and highway. There's no way I could ride to school. Plus, I would be seriously stinky by the...

    Students- would having a 'big brother/ sister' be of any use to you?

    rubato replied to Stcroix's topic in General Students

    I am a new student meeting my mentor for the first time tomorrow. She's a 2nd year student and has 2 of us 1st years. I think it is going to be invaluable to bounce questions and ideas off of

    I was debating the same thing and decided that if I can get into JCCC, I'll just do the bridge at St. Luke's. I think it's a fantastic school, but the cost scared me. Congratulations on getting

    rubato replied to rmc09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only applied to JCCC. Had a 4.0 in everything, 29 on the ACT and was accepted. I start on the 20th. A woman I know had a 4.0 and got waitlisted because she had a 25 on the ACT. Yes, very...

    rubato replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it's a good idea to do all your research before you make a decision. A lot of schools have different classes that they require and it's good to make sure you're taking the right

    How are you going to do it?

    rubato replied to Wen902's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think that if you're older (like me) and single (unlike me), you could work. But, why not give it a try and then, drop down in hours if it's getting

    rubato replied to Ceciliailicec's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Surprisingly, I'm feeling more and more confident and excited. I think it's perfectly normal to be nervous, but after my orientation, I feel ready to go. I may get nervous in a month when I'm about a...
