  1. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Ashleee014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You totally stole my answer. LOL. I want to be a midwife. I would be a CPM that wouldn't require becoming a nurse but due to my family circumstances it is not the best fit for me right now. But the...

  2. Almost done

    AspiringNurseMW replied to STACI1228's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel somewhat the same about my PAX RN entrance exam. My gripe is mainly with the science section that has physics and voltage related questions, things that are irrelevant in a nursing program....

  3. Working while in nursing program with 2 children (9 y.o. & currently 10 mo.)

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AnGB's topic in General Students

    Do you still

  4. Science Pre-reqs question

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNP/CNM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think it depends on you and how organized you are and how you learn. I will be taking A&P 2 along with Microbiology next semester. My other 2 classes are Developmental Psych & Advanced English...

  5. Finished my prereqs, what should I do now

    AspiringNurseMW replied to malenurse2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look up their NCLEX pass rates. Make sure that they are all accredited and not for-profit. Call local hospitals where you wish to work and ask if they have any preferences for certain schools. Apply...

  6. Working while in nursing program with 2 children (9 y.o. & currently 10 mo.)

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AnGB's topic in General Students

    Following, I have 2 kids that will be 4 years old and 18 months when I start nursing school in the

  7. What fascinates you?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, this post makes me feel at home. I'm only pre nursing taking A&P one and every class I'm like, woooooow that's how that works. We just started the male reproductive system and sperm and semen...

  8. Evidence Based Care

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello, I am hoping to start my ADN program the summer of 2015. My long term goal is to eventually be a Midwife but I would love to work in L&D while I work on my BSN. I am a doula and starting...

  9. Hopeful Someday CNM...

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

    Doula training is by no means extensive! You can do the training alone and NOT pursue to become certified, which is extensive. My DONA training was a 3 day workshop, 8 hours a day. Had some books to...

  10. Microbiology

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mmrox92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uh. He sounds a little dickish to me. What does he have against people trying to get an A. In my school a 90 in general is an A. Just do what you need to to get your 93, then he has no reason NOT to...

  11. HELP! Anatomy and Physiology I

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

    Also mnemonics saved my life for things that did require straight memorization, like the 5 layers of the epidermis or the 9 essential amino acids. I made up my own for the most part. Now I'm working...

  12. HELP! Anatomy and Physiology I

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

    Find which way you study best.... Google VARK. I actually for the most part, hate flashcards. Not for me. I'm slated to get an A in A&P and I have a 17 credit course load. I make sure to read the...

  13. PAX in 15 hours!

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really should be sleeping. I have class at 8 am, have to be up in 6 hours. I can't believe I'm taking my entrance exam! So far if things continue as they are I should end up with a 3.5 GPA with...

  14. PAX in 15 hours!

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

    Definitely. My suggestion is to focus on all parts of the science equally, not just bio, plenty of chem & physics on

  15. Nursing School and Kids

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

    Totally feel your nervousness. I have a two kids that will be 4 and 18 months when I start nursing school. Right now I go to school full time but I only physically go to campus two days a week because...

  16. Aaaah its almost time! PAX RN

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

    OMG I passed!!! I got a freaking 150!!! I almost cried when I saw my score. English portion, not so bad. Not nearly as hard as the review book in my opinion, but there were a few vocab words that I...

  18. ADN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on where you live and where you are willing to work. IN a NYC hospital.... Not happening. But a nursing home sure. I have moved to an area in PA where from asking around I've found out that...

  19. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

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

    I'm also working on my prerequisites to hopefully start next fall. I have two girls 1 and 3. I work part time (20 to 30 hours) and go to school full time, actually taking 17 credits this semester...

  20. Hey everyone, I'm in need of advice.

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

    You probably have to enroll into college as a regular student first to work on your prerequisites. So by the time you actually apply to nursing school your high school grades may be irrelevant. But...

  21. Will a bad test score ruin my grade in anatonmy?

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

    Use your syllabus. Mine has the grading methods on there and I can use it to calculate where I stand for all my classes, not just A&p. My teacher works off of points so I add up all the total...

  22. Pre-requites are 2 years

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

    Do you plan on eventually pursuing a Bachelor's. My back up plan if I do not get in is to take all the non nursing classes that I would need when I pursue my RN to BSN. Things like philosophy,...

  23. Hard Time

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

    What Heathermaizey said. You cannot possibly be a nurse without understanding A&P and Microbiology. It is the foundation upon which nursing school and nursing career is based on. I think you have...

  24. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it's different for me because when I met my boyfriend I was one of his lateral superiors and made more money than him. I supported him through a failed workers comp case and permanent injury...

  25. A&P -- just have to share my excitement!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a 93 on first lecture and a 84 on the first lab exam. Slightly disappointed but I know I'm leading the curve in class and hoping I still end with an A. Super stoked since I haven't been in...
