  1. GPA determination for nursing program

    EmilysMama replied to RnStudent2021's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine uses 4 classes that are given points, and then an adjusted scorre from your TEAS IV test. Highest scores go.

  2. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    EmilysMama replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the ONE class I've been looking forward too and it's been extremely difficult. My instructor is so unprepared that we haven't even done our first two labs.. 80% of the class can't get online...

  3. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    EmilysMama replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    I'm just getting started at the ripe "old" age of 35. I honestly think that this is the best time for me to do this, for I wasn't as disciplined nor as driven as I need to

  7. Anyone else bad at math?

    EmilysMama replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I struggle with math. I'm SO not a fan. Its one of those classes I managed to get an A in, but it took a LOT of dedicated study time and hard

  8. Math rage

    EmilysMama replied to tayloramaRN2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Soo not a huge math fan. I decided to try harder when I was told that math encourages critical thinking skills. Now I try harder, but I'm only getting a 90% and I'm killing mysef to do

  9. Micro and AP2 together?

    EmilysMama replied to mandiiieee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing both of these at the same time too! I need them and was told not to wait with micro because if I did I'd be taking it with the rest of the nursing courses and this will save me heartache if...

  10. Should I get a nice car as a new LPN/LVN?

    EmilysMama replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  13. Scared to death about A&P

    EmilysMama replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the one class I can't wait to start. I know it's going to be a lot of extra time studying, but it beats the heck out of essays on critiquing rhetoric I've told my self that A&P is just...

    EmilysMama replied to Megan32606's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I considered MedTech and was set up to start in just a few weeks last October, but quickly changed my mind when I seriously sat down and looked at the money involved, the fact that they are not...

  21. Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    EmilysMama replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    As a pre-nursing student AND the mother of a terminally ill, non verbal little girl I get to look at this from both sides of the fence. She is clumsy and falls a lot, and her aggression makes her...
