  1. MOMS: how many credit hours do you take?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mrsbech05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My 14 month old LOVES ripping paper. I have to make sure to keep all my stuff out of reach. I survived last semester with only 2 ripped pages in my A&P book,

  2. Upset with Medgar Evers!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The issue is not which prerequisites are required. This particular school requires you to already be enrolled and have attended classes for a semester before APPLYING to the nursing program. In other...

  3. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I really do think that attitude is localized, not a widespread ideal. I was a witness in Manhattan, Queens, and New Jersey burbs in both Spanish and English congregations and never encountered a...

  4. Advice for acing A&P?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Tinkk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually hated flashcards. Only used them for the histology final and osteology test. Then I realized that for my particular professor I was doing them all wrong. My tests were only ever matching,...

  5. What to do after ADN?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not all RN - MSN programs award the BSN. After I get my ADN I was looking into getting my CNM, Frontier had a distance RN to CNM program, but does not award a

  6. How would you break these up?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to kolabee's topic in General Students

    That's a lot of science classes. How many semesters do you have left to finish them? How proficient are you with science and

  7. Summer Jobs

    AspiringNurseMW replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a similar boat in the sense that I can't afford to work as a CNA. I have 2 young kids and I currently work from home doing as an insurance billing assistant making $15/hr plus I can't afford to...

  8. L&D RN's opinions on doulas?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mskate's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to disagree here. The range of medical training is highly dependent on the program you attend and usually very minimal. And usually most of that is self learning and then maybe some review when...

  9. Upset with Medgar Evers!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know that's a Pre reqs for their RN program, I didn't know it was for the

  10. MOMS: how many credit hours do you take?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mrsbech05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think totally depends on the person. Me, I'm a bona fide nerd, always did well without trying too hard. When I started prerequisites last semester I was working 20-25 hours, albeit from home, my...

  11. ebooks vs Textbooks?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to akg713's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me it depends on the class. I don't mind ebooks for easier non science courses, especially those I take online. But science classes I couldn't do, no. Especially because I'm always flipping pages...

  12. I think I'm In! Great semester

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Crazy nuts but great. Started a new park time job same about the same time I started school. I have 2 girls, almost 4 and just turned 1, and my husband works nights so I fly solo most of the day. OH...

  13. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Sorry I think you are on your own on this one. There is nothing wrong with the content OR the tone of this email, and I'm just a Pre nursing student. It is very well written and professional. I think...

  14. Best place for a new grad BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to jamersss's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a pre nursing student but over here in northeast PA there is no shortage of jobs, hospital or otherwise. Shoot just last week I saw RN /GN positions for OB /Peds and a few other specialties....

  15. Online vs Classroom?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to andiescandies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Last semester I took 4 out of 6 classes online. Next semester I'm taking 2/4 online. If you are organized and diligent I think it's a great advantage. In the beginning of the semester I was able to...

  16. What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm with most hopefuls, much to excited to simply just "enjoy" the time in between. Of course I'm not going to go nuts immersing myself in nursing school prep, but it's nice to have something...

  17. Becoming a Working Nurse Mom

    AspiringNurseMW replied to NatalieBridges's topic in General Nursing

    I really thought that I would be the picture perfect SAHM, but I soon discovered that as much as I love my kids, my job, whatever it may be, helps me keep my sanity and a sense of self (I'm not...

  18. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    Although, coincidentally, I did sacrifice my time practicing for college and working, but I think college was just an excuse for a distancing I was doing on my

  19. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I have to say that I think that attitude is also slightly dependent on the congregation itself. I too grew up a JW and I was never discouraged to not pursue college, just to ensure my priorities were...

  20. Making the leap

    AspiringNurseMW replied to tulipsweeti's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being organized and setting realistic expectations. My kids are almost 4 and 13 months. Every week I meal prep freezer recipes and crockpot recipes. So in the morning Mon - Fri I usually just dump one...

  21. What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm on the same boat as you. Acceptance letters are mailed out anytime between January and March. I at least still have some prerequisites to finish so as soon as I have my book list for next semester...

  23. one more kid b4 nursing school?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Nurseeverywhere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. Either do it ASAP so you have your baby before you start school or wait until after you graduate. But you also have to find out what the new grad environment is like where you graduate and if...

  24. Quitting... physician office and giving notice

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Listen if you keep this train of thought up you are never going to leave because there is always going to be someone else that you are going to be putting first. There is never an ideal time. What if...
