  2. Had a doctor give me great advice the other day. Something to think about.

    MrsStudentNurse replied to SummerWertz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. I'm getting a little frustrated here.

    MrsStudentNurse replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a bit overwhelming at first. In the big sciences I don't even touch my book until after lecture when the professor has gone over the material. The book is simply used as a reference when they...

    MrsStudentNurse replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Afraid to be a CNA!

    MrsStudentNurse replied to admiralqueenie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep as others stated its all about gaining confidence. Many CNA's don't even have aspirations of being a nurse so you'll have a leg up in that. Honestly do not be nervous, you'll be surprised at how...

  7. I'm Not a Nurse, but I am Deliberating It...

    MrsStudentNurse replied to pianissimo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Are You A Victim?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MrsStudentNurse replied to theodorerhoades's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was stuck on this for a long time and have had a couple moments where I questioned why I wasn't going LPN. Since I'm not 18 but 24 now time is of essence and I just really want to get the show on...

  15. Are You A Victim?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to backinthe1980s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are part time/evening nursing programs. Also not sure your income but fafsa may help some? Community colleges are pretty cheap. Maybe go that route at least for pre reqs and obtain some sort of...

  19. How to help hubby understand sleep time for a nightshift gal?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to Graduation2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask him what his solution would be? For a person that works all through the night, when does he think you should sleep. Sometimes it's just asking them for their solution just so they can see that's...

  20. Not motivated to go to rn school

    MrsStudentNurse replied to Cheetah852's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I once was told the most powerful control of our life is fear. It can dictate decisions and hold us back from what we want. Find what evokes fear in you and find a solution for it. You got it, good...

  22. Is this too much to handle?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to Walnutt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
