    Julesmama28 replied to toy85's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am in Colorado, but wanted to add that this can be done! I have been a sahm/ student for a long time. I have eight kids, and last year I went full time for 3 semesters straight! I kept a 3.8 gpa...

  3. Am I insane to try this?

    Julesmama28 replied to Jennie.K's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Julesmama28 replied to hopefulinCO's topic in Colorado Nursing

  6. Nursing & Phlebotomy Certification Question

    Julesmama28 replied to mrsmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Julesmama28 replied to nynurse1232b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Camwill, I start aug 20 too! I noticed from a previous post of yours that you have 7 kids. That's awesome! I have eight! I try not to tell too many people because it carries a stigma that im not...

  8. Did you take all non-nursing classes first?

    Julesmama28 replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't have gotten accepted if I didn't! In my BSN program you get more points for having them done. I'll be taking 14-15 credits every semester for 5 semesters so I'm really glad I don't have...

  12. Drama / Write Up

    Julesmama28 replied to slauren's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not a nurse yet, but I think you did the right thing. The patient was not harmed, but CNAs who know it all and are disrespectful to their superiors need to be reprimanded. I hope that he doesn't...

  13. Chronically late patients...

    Julesmama28 replied to tlackey's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    All the peds offices I've dealt with had a 15 minute late= rescheduled policy. They would also charge your account a no show fee of

  14. BSN program for $18,000... does it exist??

    Julesmama28 replied to angelagwen's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Don't know about the third criterion, but my school is only about 3k for tuition per semester, and has a 94% nclex pass rate I believe. That won't include pre reqs. The BSN is 5 semesters long after...

    Julesmama28 replied to solsen7070's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Julesmama28 replied to saghi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry for your struggles to get back into school. It sounds like they are pretty set on not letting you back in. Is there another school you could apply to? Maybe if you work as a cna for a...

    Julesmama28 replied to soko2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have generally struggled with math. I'm more of a language person. I decided to take stats online...big mistake! I got a 74 on the first test, then a 46 on the second. I went in, got help and...

  19. Need motivation

    Julesmama28 replied to Camwill's topic in General Students

  20. How much is your degree costing you?

    Julesmama28 replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I have already taken all my pre reqs, with grants and some loans. I start the BSN program next fall and it's about 3k a semester for 5 semesters. Books, fees and supplies will probably run another...

  21. The age old question: ADN or BSN?

    Julesmama28 replied to MaleCNA87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am doing the BSN, but only because it is shorter for me now since I have all the pre reqs done and classes outside the program needed to graduate. Here, there is no adn program. It's LPN to adn...

  22. School

    Julesmama28 replied to Andrewboch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. 4 year BSN program: When can I take the NCLEX?

    Julesmama28 replied to Loveismagical's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does the four years include pre reqs? I am starting my BSN program this fall, but it will only be 5 semesters before I'm finished. Not much longer than if I'd done the two year ASN

  25. Illegal home health operation? Please help.

    Julesmama28 replied to UpTheLadder12's topic in Home Health

    Not a nurse, but my advice is to run. If you can't document correctly, or even follow an MD's orders than if something goes wrong it's your license on the
