  1. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    LaceElaine posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! Right now, I'm in a pre-nursing program. My first semester I finished with a 3.2 GPA. I know, that's not the greatest and I'm kicking myself. Transitioning from high school to college was a...

    LaceElaine posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone! This site and all of it's wonderful users have been a huge help all throughout my pre-nursing schooling. I'm so excited! I FINALLY finished applying to nursing school (6 schools to be...

  3. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hello all, I'm just beginning to wrap up my first semester of nursing school. I'm so blessed to have found my calling! It's been a wonderful, albeit stressful lol, ride. The main reason I decided to...

  4. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi! Well, actually, not well at all. I had a bad experience with an instructor. Some instructors just aren't meant for every student and that okay. Unfortunately, the experience drove me away from...

  5. Nebraska Accelerated Programs--Avg GPA & Competitiveness

    LaceElaine replied to koots19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your experience is great! I can't tell you for sure that you'll get accepted of course, but from the sounds of it, I think you have a good chance. Since I attend UNMC, I know a bit more about their...

  6. Nebraska Accelerated Programs--Avg GPA & Competitiveness

    LaceElaine replied to koots19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted to all three. I had a pre-req GPA of 3.6 plus 2 years of volunteer work at The Med Center. I wouldn't recommend Methodist for transfer students. Not that it's a bad school, it's just...

  7. What's in Your Backpack?

    LaceElaine posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone! My time has come! I've been accepted and now comes the real work! I'm still riding the high of the excitement before the dread sets in when I actually have to endure nursing school!...

  8. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all your help! I'll definitely look into all your suggestions. I agree, it would be difficult to do doula work during nursing school. I wonder what I...

  9. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks AspiringNurseMW! I didn't know you could take such a short course or that you don't necessarily have to be certified. That's

  10. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That's nice to know! How would I go about getting into that? Thanks so

  11. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think my wordage was unclear. Essentially, my goal is to get my masters in science of nursing with a concentration in midwifery, achieving my certification in nurse midwifery. This is what I meant....

  12. Hopeful Someday CNM...

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, you're right. I suppose, I meant to say that to become a midwife, in my state you must become a CNM by obtaining a master's degree at minimum. Although, some other states require much less to...

  13. Accepted into Nursing School

    LaceElaine replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! :) if you have the time, get your CNA if you haven't already. Not the biggest deal but it does help. A lot of people recommend that you relax and take it easy before you start and that's...

  14. Nursing Student Advice

    LaceElaine replied to hallecharlebois's topic in General Students

    Yes! All the students in my class that's didn't get their CNA, now wish they had! It really helps because while everyone else is still stumbling over the basics, you can study and work on the more...

  15. OMG, is it only the second day of nursing school????

    LaceElaine replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    Hell... My first 3 weeks were hell. I cried, had panic attacks and wanted to quit nearly every single day. But it gradually got better and better. Now, 7 weeks in, I've finally got into a routine and...

  16. UNMC Acceptance Rate?

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Nursing

    No problem :) and thank

  17. UNMC Acceptance Rate?

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm well... I think I had something like 65 credits or so. I can't remember exactly. When I officially submitted my application (January 2014), the last class I needed was statistics. You have to...

  18. UNMC Acceptance Rate?

    LaceElaine replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Nursing

    So far, it hasn't been terribly difficult. Yes, it's VERY overwhelming. I'm not gonna lie about that. But I think that comes with any nursing school. I love my school and my teachers. They're all very...

  19. Already doubting myself

    LaceElaine replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    I know exactly how you feel right now. I'm in my second week of nursing school. It does get better! I can't say that it gets easier, because it doesn't! It's just that you're getting soooo much...

  20. How many classes?

    LaceElaine replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Everyone has their own pace. No need to feel pathetic. I'll be starting my program on the 25th as well! We have to take 4 classes, a lab and clinicals. This includes: patho, health assessment, health...

  21. Petite Scrubs!

    LaceElaine replied to MissCoCoKit_E's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree! They're one of the more petite scrubs and they're incredibly soft. They not only run on the small side, but they also come in petite sizes as well. I'm 5'1" and about 105 pounds. I bought the...

  22. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    LaceElaine replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    I just bought the exact same one for nursing school! Love

  23. GPA to become a nurse?

    LaceElaine replied to Chabibeh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I realize that I'm being very optimistic. If the OP decides to continue down the the nursing route, he/she will need to get much more serious about his/her studies. With those grades, the odds are...

  24. Scrub Alterations?

    LaceElaine posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hello everyone! I'm a very small woman, so finding scrubs that I don't drown in is difficult. After the original price of the uniforms plus alterations, it will come to about $300 so I want to make...

  25. GPA to become a nurse?

    LaceElaine replied to Chabibeh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My high school counselor and college advisor both told me I probably wouldn't get accepted into nursing school and to give up on my dream, just like you. But you know where I am now? Awaiting my first...
