  1. Anyone else waiting to start RN program?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know, it is crazy! I just finished up a CNA course, and will probably try to work as a CNA while I'm waiting to start the nursing program. Do you guys live in California? Adria89, since you have a...

  2. Intrigued by this Coursera Vital Signs Course

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking this course too :)! I haven't done any work yet, but am looking forward to it. I have finished all of my prerequisite courses for my RN program and have been accepted to start next Fall...

  3. The TEAS Test, why does it make or break?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Folkeye, I agree with your points. Although your score should have some impact on getting into nursing school, I don't think it should be the end all be all like some schools have it. With my...

  4. Need Advice/Help.. LOST :(

    LifeIsGood76 replied to arodgz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I would definitely go and sit for the class on the first day. You have a very good chance to get in. My Physiology teacher purposely adds extra people from the wait list because she knows many...

  5. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    LifeIsGood76 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I just responded to you on another post, lol! Are you going to VVC? I also took my TEAS last Thursday and passed :) I'm so excited about that!! Did they give you a start date? I haven't...

  6. TWU taking last semester of prerequisites! who else is applying spring 2014?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to carefulcare's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi! I just saw this, sorry for not responding sooner! Did you take your TEAS last week? I took mine last Thursday, and passed. They said they will be sending letters out Mid-May letting us know...

  7. Science in the Summer

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the same exact thing last summer. This is a career change for me, so I only needed the science pre-reqs too. I did an 8 week Anatomy class with lab, and a 6 week Chemistry class with lab at the...

  8. Can't choose...Lpn or RN

    LifeIsGood76 replied to _marie_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad you chose the LPN route. I had a feeling the $57,000 RN program was one of those "for profit" career colleges. It is important to make sure whatever school you decide to do is accredited....

  9. Have any of you....

    LifeIsGood76 replied to MSofia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did something similar. Last summer I took Chemistry at one school and Anatomy at a school an hour away (because my local school wouldn't let me take both those classes during the summer since it...

  10. Grrrr....

    LifeIsGood76 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There comes a time in your life when you have to focus on yourself. Believe me, I understand exactly where you are coming from. I am married with four kids and I have spent the majority of my adult...

  11. Moving out of state

    LifeIsGood76 replied to tori3jensen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in California, and yes, there are wait lists and lotteries (depending on what school). What area are you looking to move to? If your pre-req's are from an accredited college, then you...

  12. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    LifeIsGood76 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm 37, married with 4 children (ages 15, 10, 7, and 5). I finished my pre-reqs last semester and will be applying to the RN program in 2 weeks :)!!! We have a pretty long waiting list at my...

  13. 3 Rejections in 1 Day

    LifeIsGood76 replied to pedsnursetobe<3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm surprised they are allowed to just change requirements when they feel like it! That is so unfair! At my school, if they change requirements, they are required to post...

  14. Summer Science

    LifeIsGood76 replied to kenya1005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Anatomy and Chemistry together last summer, it was hard, but I loved it. A summer class is so short and condensed you don't have time to forget things or procrastinate. I would recommend...

  15. Renewing CNA certification?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What state do you live in? It might depend, but I think you might have to retake the state certification test if you haven't worked as a CNA. Good luck

  16. CNA JOB FIRST DAY!!!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to tina102's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How did your day go? I'm starting my CNA training on Feb. 5th and am excited to work as a CNA while I am in nursing school. I hope you had a great

  17. Victor Valley College Nursing Program

    LifeIsGood76 replied to backinschoolmama's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Kim! That's great! I actually just finished up my prerequisites this past semester and am applying in March. I probably won't be starting 220 and 246 until next Spring (2015), which seems so far...

  18. last micro assignment, DONE!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, sounds like me! My last class is next week! I am also doing Micro, Physio, Developmental Psych, and 2 online classes, but I will officially be done with my pre-reqs next week! Yay!!! Micro...

  19. Nursing Programs in CA

    LifeIsGood76 replied to sarah_beth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Have you finished your prerequisites? I live in Victorville (about an hour and a half from Long Beach). I'm applying to my local community college, but I am also going to apply to Chaffey...

  20. TWU taking last semester of prerequisites! who else is applying spring 2014?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to carefulcare's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi! I'm not going to TWU, but I am in my last semester of pre-reqs (yay!) and plan to apply in Spring 2014. I can't wait to finally be finished with the pre-reqs. I am taking Microbiology,...

  21. "Just" an LPN

    LifeIsGood76 replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When people make comments like that it is rude and irritating. I am working on my pre-reqs for an Associates Degree RN program and people will say "Why are you only getting your ADN, why don't you...

  22. Nervous about my sciences , how much time needed for studying?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to friendlyjane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I think that is doable. I took Anatomy with lab and Chemistry with lab together over the summer (6 week session). It was very time consuming but somehow I survived. I have four children and...

  23. Having to take A&P over again????

    LifeIsGood76 replied to nolegirl8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup! That is true! My Chemistry teacher even said it was a weeding out class to see who can cut it in nursing school. I feel like they make some of these classes harder than they need to

  24. Having to take A&P over again????

    LifeIsGood76 replied to nolegirl8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college has Anatomy w/ lab and Physiology w/lab as two separate 5 credit courses. The lab is included within the class, you can't take it separately at my school. My husband only needed a...

  25. Last semester of pre-reqs!

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Mandy0728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This will be my last semester of pre-reqs, I'm so excited!! I will apply in March to hopefully start Fall of 2014. At my school we can't apply until we are completely finished with our pre-reqs....
