  1. A Child Can Change Everything

    That is such an unbelievably inspiring story! You're kids sure have a great mom! I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was 12 but I didn't put the plan in motion until I had two infant nephews die at...
  2. Study tips for A & P 1?

    Well I can't say for sure this will work for me since I'm in A&P right now but I'm doing flash cards and lots of repetition. This just happens to be the way I learn best. I can read something and...

  4. I did it and its so clear now

    Which Ivy Tech are you looking at? I currently attend the Ft Wayne campus and while it is competitive, it's not impossible to get into. My pre req semester courses only run me about $2000 for the...

  6. Would Cheat in an Online Course?

    I've only taken one online course and the tests were timed but they gave us soooo much time I'm sure most people used their notes/books. I personally didn't, not because I thought it was cheating...
  7. 1st A&P test question

  11. Teas V strategy...

    Don't quote me but I believe the Reading section is 58 minutes. I'd have to look at my book to be sure but I'm fairly confident it's 58 minutes. Each section is different. I think science is like an...

  14. Just curious for anyone out there who has taken these two classes, would it be too much of a work load to do both in the same semester? Or would it be better to take the General Micro with my nursing...

  16. What specialty are you considering?

    I think that is so awesome of you! I know if I was ever in a situation where my child was in the NICU it would help me to have a nurse like you! My dream is to be in OB, either at a hospital or at a...

  19. Any nursing students with small kids?

    I have 5 kids ages 5-14 and have put off going to school because of that fear. I had my oldest when I was 17 and I'll admit I was devastated that I "had" to put off going to school for nursing as I've...

  23. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    I get your concern. I'm fortunate enough that if I didn't get a job right after graduation it would be ok since my hubby has a good job. And I personally would not be able to move for a job with 5...
  24. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    I think it depends on where you live because I'm in NE IN and there are TONS of openings for entry level RN's. LPN's however I'm told are not being added any
