  1. What's YOUR Dream Job?

    Guinevere39 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

    Midwife! But I'm not feeling up to more school, since I still have a long way to go before I'm an RN, so my other dream job would be a labor nurse in a midwife-run freestanding birth

  2. NAU Spring 2013 Hopefuls

    Guinevere39 replied to Highlander89's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I used a dummies guide to A&P type book. The science portion was mostly physiology. Good luck to you! I hope you get

  3. Question On Nursing and Nursing Schools

    Guinevere39 replied to neonboy88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I believe science courses need to be less than ten years old, so you likely have some pre-reqs to complete, but they are largely the same no matter which program you end up in. What part of the state...

  4. LPN or RN- Need Advise Please!!!

    Guinevere39 replied to mandilee428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with LYNDAA. If you go the LPN route, you're probably going to end up wanting the RN and going back to school. If it is at all possible, I would get the RN now. It's going to set you up...

  5. Pima cc co requisites and wait list?

    Guinevere39 replied to Lexxximay's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The waiting list is several years, but most people get in sooner than they are originally told they will. The coreqs people are talking about are the things you'll have to take in the program along...

  6. Unhygienic practices?

    Guinevere39 replied to worriedabouthygiene's topic in General Nursing

    [The MA responsible for meds would dump the liquid versed and whatever narcotic we were using (can't remember) into a tub, mix it up, and draw up a week's worth at a

  7. Struggling to meet the bare minimum in one class...need support

    Guinevere39 replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    Yes, you're only failing one class, but it's your most important class. And I'm guessing that the reason you're having so much more trouble with this one than the rest of them is because it's...

  8. Are taking these three courses together over the summer a bad idea?

    Guinevere39 replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    That sounds dreadful to me. I took those three classes in the fall - normal semester length - and it was a lot of work. Your fundamentals class, in particular, is going to require a lot of focus. I...

  9. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Guinevere39 replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I LOVE the program. I've been very, very happy with it (especially reading some of the nursing school horror stories on here). My cohort is amazing and we're all really supportive of each other....

  10. Select all that apply...??

    Guinevere39 replied to natnat122's topic in Excelsior College

    Uhg, they are miserable. They're more manageable if you treat each option as its own true/false

  11. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Guinevere39 replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    bgg, I was scrambling to get my application in - I decided to apply and everything was due only a week later, so I had little time to prep for the Kaplan. I mainly studied from an anatomy and...

  12. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Guinevere39 replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    bgg1, the NAU program is a competative entry every semester, so as far as I know, you need to plan to attend the semester you apply for or you forfeit your spot. Application in April is for the Fall...

  13. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    Guinevere39 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -

  14. Becoming a nurse with kids and thinking of having 1 more

    Guinevere39 replied to Momoftwo708's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was pregnant during my last pre-req, and started applying for schools when the baby was three months old. He was nine months old when I started my first semester of school (and my older one was 4)....

  15. What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?

    Guinevere39 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Structure vs. function is the answer. Nothing more to it. Anatomy is what it is and where it is. Physiology is what it does and how the part work

  16. I have a Bachelor's and want to transition to Nursing

    Guinevere39 replied to iiRed0022's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, can you take prereqs at a community college? If there is more than one schooling option in your area, find out what the requirements are for all of them (they're probably similar). Also, to go...

  17. Anyone have any knowledge about NAU nursing?

    Guinevere39 replied to dsb_fam's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Did you get grades for each section of the Kaplan (math, reading, writing, science)? My science score was on the low side, but my grades for the other three areas were very good. I'm in the 5...

  18. My grades /:

    Guinevere39 replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be concerned about the low grade in the college reading skills course. Being able to read reasonably quickly, comprehend, and remember information is going to be hugely important in your...

  19. Taking pre-reqs and having two toddlers

    Guinevere39 replied to llovefutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's totally doable. I started prereqs with a 9 month old while working full time, was pregnant during my final prereq (still working full time), and applied for school with a 3-year-old and an...

  20. I passed nursing school!

    Guinevere39 replied to LLL01's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Good luck on your interview and on the

  21. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Guinevere39 replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my Bachelor's at 22, right out of high school, but wasn't happy with my chosen field, so I started taking my prerequisites for nursing school when I was 27, and just started my nursing program...

  22. Planning "My Space" for Nursing School

    Guinevere39 replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I've found that I can't get much studying done at home. There is always something else to do - dishes, laundry, etc. I do best going to Starbucks or the library or somewhere else with wi-fi. I do...

  23. What classes are you taking in spring

    Guinevere39 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    2nd semester of 5 for a BSN Med Surg I and clinical (8 credits) Research and Evidence-Based Practice (3 credits) Gerontology (3 credits) Palliative Care (3 credits) - taking this early so I don't have...

  24. Not taking the traditional rout to nursing school...

    Guinevere39 replied to maddiem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've heard, employers don't always like hiring nurses with a MEPN degree. So, check around at the places you would like to work before you saddle yourself with that debt. Good
