  1. Scared of Failure..Anxiety..Fear..Second Thoughts..Need Advice Please.

    phoenixnim replied to 49*1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need positive affirmations. I know it may sound silly. But, I struggle with staying positive and the fear of failing. I have no choice right now but to live with very unsupportive parents that...

  2. No SAT Tests

    phoenixnim replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on how old you are and if you have taken college classes anywhere, typically. If you are not a traditional student (straight out of high school), look around for colleges that have special...

  3. How To Get An "A" In Any Nursing Course

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

    Great article! I do a lot of the same things! Including scheduling everything. My google calendar is a pretty intense looking rainbow right now! lol I'm making the transition from FT worker/PT...

  4. Marriage and kids

    phoenixnim replied to ZaraK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would wait. I'm 32, divorced, single mom of two young ones. I wish I had spent more of my 20's figuring out what I was going to do with my life, but that didn't become clear until after kids....

  5. Is this class load doable??

    phoenixnim replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've noticed a significnatly larger amount of work with online classes this year opposed to other years, for some reason. It could just be the classes. The history class will likely include a lot of...

  6. Fall Classes 2013

    phoenixnim replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looks like a lot of us are taking A&P I this Fall! I'm taking A&P I, Nutrition, Sociology & Intro to Art Therapy (liberal art req.) This will be my first semester as a full time student...

  7. What Chemistry class did you guys take for prenursing? I took biochem?

    phoenixnim replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine was like this too. It was ROUGH! I found general to be the easiest. Bio, some was common knowledge from Nutrition, some not so much. O-Chem is just plain evil. Okay, the structures weren't...

  8. Statistics - Timed Quizzes

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an older student and my brain seems to need more time to process numbers/formulas properly for Statisitics. I'm getting 100% on homework assignments, then totally bombing out on the quizzes when...

  9. Statistics online

    phoenixnim replied to Jenjer003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it online now. I was pretty freaked out about it, but so far it isn't so bad. I mean, it's still pretty early and things can get a lot harder as the semester goes on... but there is...

  10. Class of 2016

    phoenixnim replied to duke1158's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My daughter is 4.5 and my son is 2.5. I never had a virtual lab? That sounds interesting... I have seen it mentioned in some of the distance grad school programs I've been looking

  11. I'm very confused what people mean by their GPA

    phoenixnim replied to Zerkenzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Were the advisers you were talking to all at the same school? Because that will maybe clear up some things. Each school has it's own list of criteria they look for. Some schools look at cumulative...

  12. Class of 2016

    phoenixnim replied to duke1158's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a hopeful summer 2016 graduate from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA. I'm finishing up my pre-reqs now and hope to start the program Spring 2014. I need to take the TEAS in October. Trying...

  13. Class of 2016

    phoenixnim replied to duke1158's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every area and school are entirely different. I have only heard of one school in my area that can sometimes go into a wait list, but not to the severeity of

  14. Horrible Professor!

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was curious if anyone else has dealt with this and what you did about it? I just finished my Chem pre-req with the worst and hardest teacher. He never actually "taught" anything. Just threw a...

  15. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    phoenixnim replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may need to wrap your head around doing this sometime in your future anyway. What if your future partner has a surgery or accident or something and needs help going to the restroom for a period...

  16. I guess it's time to find a plan b...

    phoenixnim replied to TKeith8109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you appeal the financial aide probation? I had to do that. I had surpassed the amount of time given to complete a degree and I didn't withdraw the correct way and had an F from a class on my...

  17. Taking A&P II and Microbiology during the same semester

    phoenixnim replied to Munchkin8516's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to do this next spring. I want to start the program at a certain time in order to not lose a year of school, and with what I have left in pre-reqs, it's just how it's falling. I'm glad to see...

  18. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    phoenixnim replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. Totally second this. I could not imagine doing all the "gross" things as a teen either. It's part of what kept me away from even considering the medical field for so long. And then I had...

  19. Question about the Science courses

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

    The pre-reqs can take up to a year or longer, depending how many you need to do and how many you feel comfortable doing in a semester. I would check the schools guidelines that you are looking to...

  20. Online Stats

    phoenixnim replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no advice, just commiseration. I'm taking stats online over this summer too! Good luck to us both! I think anything is do-able with dedication and a will to succeed, and tutors are

  21. What sacrifices will you make? / How hungry are you?

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

    Congrats on the life decisions! It's such an awesome feeling isn't?! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! When that light bulb goes off and you finally just see clear, it makes all the hard work worth it. I agree...

  22. Horrible Professor!

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

    Well, I think the dean came through for my class!!!!! Final grades were posted this morning, and my ending grade for the Combo Chem course was an A- !!!!! The other class mates I have talked to...

  23. Horrible Professor!

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

    FYI: The class was Chemistry of Life, which consisted of three portions, Gen Chem, O-Chem, & Bio-Chem. This is listed as a pre-req for the nursing program I am working to get into. I only...

  24. Horrible Professor!

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

    Then you obviously shouldn't be commenting and making comments to something you know nothing about. As I've stated, I take my schooling pretty seriously. I'm not a jerk who is just going to whine...

  25. Horrible Professor!

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

    You really do love to make assumptions, don't you?! This was actually Organic Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry. I got an A in General Chem, but thanks for adding your non-constructive
