  1. A Child Can Change Everything

    sjtrk replied to Takdbrown's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    sjtrk replied to melaniew521's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  3. Feeling intimidated? Don't give up! Grades aren't everything!

    sjtrk replied to lady_leatherneck's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. I did it and its so clear now

    sjtrk replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Am I the only student here that has anxiety when I think about not getting accepted?

    sjtrk replied to 5ummer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Would Cheat in an Online Course?

    sjtrk replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    sjtrk replied to RhodyLPNstudent's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    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...

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

  14. General Micro and A&P 2

    sjtrk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. What specialty are you considering?

    sjtrk replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    sjtrk replied to tmnursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    sjtrk replied to nurynmarrone's topic in TEAS Exam Help

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

    sjtrk replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?!

    sjtrk replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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
