    Micro in the fall

    iPink replied to SkyMeadow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What worked for me is reading the chapters a head of time, so it didn't seem like the teacher was speaking another language. Also, if your book contains a CD or a code to do Chapter Quizzes, those are...

    No. I did attend an Information session last year about the program and we got great info from the Director of Nursing there. She said it will consume a lot of our time. She advised us not to get a...

    iPink replied to wifeandmommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Meesterjojo, I agree that it seems like most students these days say you need to get all A's to even be considered for NS. I just finished up all my prerequisites for an ABSN program I'm interested...

    iPink replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Nursing

    In some ways you remind me of me. Back in high school I was sure I wanted to be a nurse. However, when I entered college, I switched my major eight different times. I began to worry that I was going...

    Going straight for my RN

    iPink replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Nursing

    Going straight for my RN

    iPink replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Fribblet. I'm a career changer and almost went down the wrong path of going for an LPN. I took great advice from a few LPNs and some RNs who told me I would be wasting my time going for...
