  1. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

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

    I'm 32, single Mom to two kiddos (4 and 2.5). I started pre-reqs a year ago, part time while working full time. I'm taking the leap to full time student this fall to finish the last of my pre-reqs...

  2. Horrible Professor!

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

    Exactly this. Thank you for your understanding. I'm not sure when and where it happened that students forgot that they are indeed consumers and also have an obligation to give feedback to the school...

  3. Horrible Professor!

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

    Nekozuki, I fully admit I'm a bit prickly at the moment due to the stress of coming off of a tough semester, but I'd like to address/clear up a few things. I couldn't help but feel some of your post...

  4. Horrible Professor!

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

    I know he doesn't have tenure. He's an adjunct. He's retirement age (actually past retirement age) and teaches this one class at the community college and still does one summer class at another...

  5. Has anyone ever NOT been accepted to frontier?

    phoenixnim replied to SnowboardRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I hope you hear something back and it was some kind of mistake!! Yikes! Good

  6. Horrible Professor!

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

    Thanks for sharing... but I DID that. I also went to tutoring. I even googled things I did get wrong so I would know what it was. And sometimes even the almighty internet could not help with some...

  7. A&P 1, microbio, & psychology

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

    I'm in a similiar situation with not many gen-eds/pre-reqs left. I didn't always know I was going the nursing route so a lot of my gen-eds were done before hand while working towards an entirely...

  8. Started with 50 down to 20

    phoenixnim replied to Bubbly26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, they are designed to weed people out. My Chem professor said as much last night when me and another student were marveling over how many have dropped. We started in a chem lecture of 80. I...

  9. Have I RUINED my chances at Nursing? :(

    phoenixnim replied to dpm0x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree completely with all of this! Very good advice. I struggle with fibromyalgia which produces all the symptoms you have listed. I struggled a lot more with it in my 20's than now in my 30's....

  10. MEAC program prior to CNM?

    phoenixnim replied to queenanneslace's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I agree with the previous post about if it is a school that would look unfavorably on your OOH birth experience... is that really where you want to be? In the few grad schools I've checked out so far,...

  11. To much time wasted on classes that have nothing to do with Nursing!!!

    phoenixnim replied to Mschwab316's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree with this. I also think age/life experience factors in. As a 30-something adult student, I really find the "well-rounded/lib art" requirements a waste of time and money. For...

  12. How much do you owe in student loans?

    phoenixnim replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think by time I'm all done I'll be looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of $100K for the completion of a MSN. Same boat as a previous poster, I have two small kids and am a single mom, I can't...

  13. Include Stay at Home Mom on Application Resume?

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

    I would leave it off. But, there are clever ways to add your Mom skills to your resume under a "skills" section, such as able to multi-task in chaotic and fast paced environment", "detail oriented",...

  14. How many are going straight for your BSN?

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

    I'm going straight for the BSN for a few reasons. 1) Because I plan on going on to get my MSN-CNM degree and going straight for teh BSN saves time. 2) Because as others have said, in my area if...

  15. How did you decide what school to go to for your CNM?

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I was curious what you took into consideration when choosing which school to attend for your masters

  16. How did you decide what school to go to for your CNM?

    phoenixnim replied to phoenixnim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you Midwifetobe! That is an excellent amount of information. :-) I am a single Mom, so not able to re-locate, so that is definitely a big factor for me. I'm hesitant about a distance ed...

  17. Any career switchers starting in the Fall?

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

    I'm currently a data specialist and will be making the move to full time student in January 2014. My boss already knows as my position is a long training and he knew I was going to school and was...

  18. Keep trying, or give up :(

    phoenixnim replied to andreaslick50's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not one to give up either. But I think you really need to talk to an advisor. I know at all the schools I have looked at in my area, they only allow one re-take for all the core science...

  19. Pre-nursing student seeking options

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

    It really depends on the programs offered at the schools you are looking at. You really need to do your research of the schools programs, what transfers, etc. It really is worth it talking to...

  20. Have to take A&P I while working full time (single mom)

    phoenixnim posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, in order to keep with my career/personal goals of wanting to be done with school by time both of my kids are in middle school, I have to take A&P I in the fall while I'm still working full...

  21. Nursing school with Children

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

    I'm not quite in nursing school yet. But I am a Mom. A single mom to two, ages 2 and 4. I've had to put my kids into daycare since they were babies, because I had no choice but to work. Finding a...

  22. 4 classes in the summer

    phoenixnim replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools offer philosophy online. My community school and transfer college both offer nutrition online. You can do it! I work full time and am taking on 3 classes this summer, all online, so I...

  23. Accused of Cheating...How do I get past this?

    phoenixnim replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand your attitude towards this at all. If you did not cheat, why in the world would you be okay with a Zero?!?! I also understand being a people pleaser, but this is YOUR grade, and if...

  24. Do I have any chance to get in?!!!

    phoenixnim replied to elham71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not know how the midwife degree works in other countries, but in this one in order to have a degree in midwifery, one must get a degree in nursing first, then a masters in midwifery. Was there...

  25. Is it possible to pass TEAS prior to A&P II?

    phoenixnim posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Has anyone successfully passed TEAS before they took A&P II? I basically only have 2 semesters at the college I'm transferring to and I need to take the TEAS test prior to getting entrance into...
