  1. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    arciedee replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's been a while since I posted in this thread, but I've been popping in on occasion. Rain, for a multivitamin you pretty much just need a basic multi formulated for your sex, like a One-a-Day for...

  2. Study habits?

    arciedee replied to -Midget-'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take the test, but if you scroll down there are descriptions of the three learning types (I was able to identify myself pretty well from those) and suggestions for how they learn

  3. Good luck on finals everyone!

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to the NH nursing students! Knock 'em dead (er, um, the exams that

  4. regrets

    arciedee replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think one of the hardest things for me has been to not compare myself to my friends/peers who seem to be much more "together" than I am. They may have already graduated from med school or law...

  5. Study habits?

    arciedee replied to -Midget-'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think one of the important things to discover is what type of a learner you are. I found this website that lists the three types of learners and what study traits work best for each: Learnng Styles...

  6. Advice would be wonderful :)

    arciedee replied to whitneyLOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are some two-year colleges out there that do offer the "college experience" including dorm life, etc. One of our state CCs has that (but only one). Unfortunately our community colleges also have...

  7. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    arciedee replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just wanted to reiterate something that bics mentioned, and that is being able to state why you want to be a nurse. It's something I really struggled with as one of those people who felt a...

  8. regrets

    arciedee replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think we all have moments of regret when we realize where we could be "if only." I'm quitting my full-time job in a month to return to school full-time and the idea is terrifying (giving up my...

  9. Want to be a nurse

    arciedee replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! A CNA is a great way to start. If you are planning to go on to become a nurse you need to complete your GED. Depending on what courses you took in high school you may need to take some...

  10. Quick Question about ordering books online..

    arciedee replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've ordered things off the Amazon.com marketplace (not sure about the specific site you're talking about). I've had good luck. I usually just check the ratings and feedback on the sellers. If they...

  11. Anyone graduated from a clinical nurse leader program?

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    OP here... merellis2009, thanks for your post. It's great to hear from someone who's in a CNL program already. I appreciate all the info/experience you were able to provide. I'll be starting my...

  12. Transfer Credits

    arciedee replied to xptp29a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school, but many people who have gone for their ADN after earning a baccalaureate degree in another field had no problems transferring classes to cover their gen eds, etc. Good luck...

  13. Had a rough time in college...

    arciedee replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's a lot going on all at once! I'll try to break down your questions. Will your prior GPA hold you back? Maybe. HOWEVER. 1) If this is a new program they may not have a lot of applicants...

  14. Need advice on what to take with A&PI

    arciedee replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you've taken intro psych then I would expect sociology and developmental psych to have a similar workload. I didn't take sociology, but my human growth & development class primarily consisted...

  15. Need advice on what to take with A&PI

    arciedee replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with BSNtobe2009; if you do not have to work I think that is a very do-able

  16. Direct Entry Programs Applications in; what happens next?

    arciedee replied to chickpea25's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There was a question about this in the pre-nursing forum and the general consensus was no, it doesn't matter. As long as your school doesn't require you to take them in a specific order, I really...

  17. Community Colleges for Nursing

    arciedee replied to Sk8rbug's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the community colleges in Maine, but I do know that University of New England in Biddeford has an ADN program. It's a 2+2 program where you earn an ADN after the first two years...

  18. Looks like it might not happen anytime soon

    arciedee replied to maddiesmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are interested in becoming an RN why not look into those programs? You may be able to start taking pre-reqs for the RN program at night or on weekends (I know the community colleges near me...

  19. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    arciedee replied to Kensington's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for starting this post. I was wondering about the direct-entry contingent here, too! I will be starting a direct-entry MSN program in January. I took the majority of my pre-reqs at a local...

  20. Trying to be accepted

    arciedee replied to GAC3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start in

  21. Trying to be accepted

    arciedee replied to GAC3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do a search on Monster.com or a similar career site for different resume styles. I'm guessing that at your age a chronological resume might not be the best way to go and you'd be better off with a...

  22. Micro before A&P?

    arciedee replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would assume that if A&P isn't listed as a pre-req at your school and you already have the required pre-reqs for it under your belt (which it sounds like you do) to go ahead and take micro now....

  23. LNA to LPN/RN

    arciedee replied to KrissyThePirate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Krissy, I haven't heard of any such programs. I believe you still have to start at the beginning, regardless of whether you are an LNA or not. Good luck in your new

  24. low income---> chance to go to a university

    arciedee replied to barbie q's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on where in the country you are. I've heard that in some areas it's easier to get into a BSN program than an ADN program because of wait lists. You may want to post that question...

  25. Got My Letter but with an unexpected option....

    arciedee replied to MedSurgRNiowa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a tough decision. Did they give you any indication as to what the schedule is like? If it's, say, two nights a week and every other weekend or something, I would say go for it. Your child is...
