  1. Pre-nursing

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

    1. Attitude: Don't set yourself up for failure. Go in with a positive attitude that you CAN do well and you are EXCITED to take this step towards your career goals. Reminding yourself why you want...

  2. On-line vs. IRL science classes

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

    First I must admit that I've never taken an on-line course aside from some training courses at work, so you might want to take my opinion w/ a grain of salt. For me, I enjoy being in a physical...

  3. What drives you on?

    arciedee replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't imagine having to do my current job for the rest of my life Seriously, though, I've always wanted to do something in the healthcare field but was not ready to commit to one career when I...

  4. My dilemma - prereqs and time

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

    Well, seems you have a couple options. Have you taken any pre-reqs yet? How many do you have to take? I found that it wasn't nearly as difficult to balance school and full-time work as I expected....

  5. NLN Entrance Exam in NH

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

    You might want to check the NH forum. There are a lot of people there at schools all over the state and you can read through their comments/experiences. The NHCTC schools are affiliated (i.e. part of...

  6. NHCTC Laconia & Berlin NOT NLNAC Accredited

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Could you contact UNH (or UNH-Manchester) to find out if they've had RN-to-BSN applicants from Laconia/Berlin yet and if so how they've handled the fact that the program is not accredited? I just...

  7. NHCTC Laconia & Berlin NOT NLNAC Accredited

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I am totally shocked to hear that. I sure hope they have some sort of plan, even if they can't be forthcoming with it yet... Did you apply to any of the other techs? NHTI wouldn't be too much of...

  8. NHCTC Laconia & Berlin NOT NLNAC Accredited

    arciedee replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Have you talked to anyone at the school about this? I know it's a fairly new program, so is it possible that they are in the accreditation process or have some sort of provisional status? I'm sure...

  10. Lpn Or Rn

    arciedee replied to stcylra's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Stacey, Lots to respond to here... first off, hi neighbor! I'm in L'Derry. Personally I would recommend going straight for the RN, too. The cost of that LPN program seems rather high. I...

  11. WHat Text books did you use for A&P 1n2

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

    Ours was Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology, both the text and the lab manual. I think I bought them through Amazon and was able to get new books for ~$80 for the text and ~$60 for the lab book (I...

  12. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

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

    That sounds like a great plan, rn_in_3! You are so right that it less daunting (and less exhausting) to build up that to try to do it all at once. I have to admit that during last week on the "abs...

  13. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

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

    Hi guys... been a bit absent lately. But still working on my healthier living. Scale was creeping up lately, don't know why. Was back down a little today though. I've started a different workout...

  14. Any New Hampshire Pre-Students??

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me again... I'm surprised human growth & development isn't required at Laconia... I think it is for NHCTC-Manchester/Stratham and NHTI. I took it last semester though and it wasn't bad at all....

  15. Any New Hampshire Pre-Students??

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Any New Hampshire Pre-Students??

    arciedee replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats kukukajoo! Great news! For future reference (though I'm sure you already know this) UNH-Manchester has an RN-to-BSN program as well (they do not offer a traditional BSN at this campus, just...

  17. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

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

    Hello all... it's been a bit since I've posted. Things in the healthier living area are relatively stable right now. Weight is maintaining... but I don't really mind. I'd lost about 4.5 lbs in a...

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

    Sarah, so good to see you back here. I was just going to post today to see if anyone had heard from you. So sorry about your little girl, though sounds like she's doing better now? Also, not to...

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

    Heya Tweety, thanks! I look kinda funny in that picture... I'm not very good at having pictures taken so I tend to not look totally... myself! But hey, beggars can't be choosers. That's the only...

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

    Not much new in healthy living here.... no exercise or really good eating habits to report... But mentally I'm feeling a lot better. I gave myself a little "snap out of it" talk about a week or so ago...

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

    Renee, we've discussed the eloping thing... but then one or the other of us starts feeling guilty about not including certain people. We also considered the "surprise" wedding. Inviting people for...
