  1. Work and School...What do you do?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Asmyth12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to take a CNA course near me, especially because the hospitals around here hire CNA s, but the more affordable course does not mesh with child care hours (classes are at night and my...

  2. Microbiology : Lesser Evil

    AspiringNurseMW posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I know most people recommend not taking 2 sciences together. But I'm considering taking A&P 2 with Micro next semester. I will be applying to start the AS nursing program in my school for next...

  3. Pre-requisites

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

    Also..... CROCKPOT and FREEZER meals. I designate one day a week and I prepare almost 75% of dinners for the week and keep it in the freezer. Save so much

  4. Pre-requisites

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

    I've been a SAHM for almost a year when I started school, I have a 3.5 year old and a 9 month old. I have to resist the urge to do housework when they are entertained or sleeping. I prioritize...

  5. Pre-requisites

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

    Are you falling behind in classes? Do you understand the concepts? Do you read chapters BEFORE going to class? What are your study habits? If you are truly feeling overwhelmed and cannot assimilate...

  6. Microbiology : Lesser Evil

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

    I can't live without my planner. I take what I consider to be my "unimportant" classes online and I'm 2-4 weeks ahead on all of those. I can't not read ahead before going to A&P. I'm not going to...

  7. Microbiology : Lesser Evil

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

    I live in Northeast PA. It's a community college, basically the only prerequisites are sciences during HIGH SCHOOL, GPA, and PAX RN. However I really believe they do it to entice a large number of...

  8. Carrington for an RN degree vs. waiting for to get into a comm college?

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

    Idk anything about any of these schools you are posting but with that price tag helllllll

  9. Prioritizing Nursing Diagnosis

    AspiringNurseMW replied to arkrunnergirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Seriously Esme12. I have been lurking on AN for a few years, just started my prerequisites to hopefully get into next year's program and I'm already scheming of ways of making you my online tutor...

  10. How do you feel about distance learning (online learning) for pre-reqs?

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

    Oh and I have 2 kids and work from home so with this set up I only have to physically be at the school 2 days a weeks. Saves me ALOT on

  11. How do you feel about distance learning (online learning) for pre-reqs?

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

    It depends on your style if learning. I find that I generally learn easily from books and often find the class pace slower depending on the classroom. So I chose the "easy" prerequisites to do online...

  12. 4.0 in nursing school?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    Maintaining a 4.0 and receiving 100 in everything are two different things, the latter probably impossible in nursing school. I am setting my expectations for a 3.5 because I know I will continue my...

  13. Do you think nursing programs can benefit from more rigorous prerequisites?

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

    I understand where OP is coming from. In NY, even for the community colleges Bio and/or chem was a required pre-req for A&P which was a pre-req for entry into the nursing program. AND you had to...

  14. Home-Birth/ Doula Friendly CNM Program

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

    My plan is to go to Frontier because I think it would give me more options in what kind of clinical site to choose. When I worked at a birthing center in NYC we had a SNM from Frontier, but she had...

  15. Field of study

    AspiringNurseMW replied to arramos79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's different for everyone. Some people know what they want from the start, some people find out their passions during clinical and some people find it by accident, it takes others years and...

  16. A&P 1 with microbiology

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mami.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm contemplating taking A&P 2 with micro next semester because I really want to be done with my science courses before I *hopefully * start the nursing program next spring. I too enjoyed sciences...

  17. Volunteering at a Pregnancy Center

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

    There is no harm in just waiting to hear back and ask. Have you done any research into the center. Any indications on their! #website? You could

  18. I need Advice!

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

    Ditto to what everyone else says. Speak to a NURSING adviser from the school you wish to apply. At my community college I think there is no minimum GPA to apply but the standing average to get...

  19. App for recording lecture

    AspiringNurseMW replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    You would probably either upload to a cloud or your computer to save space afterwards, there is no app that comes with extra space for saving

  20. Advancing your degree...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ash0416's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Work is work, so you won't be bringing that home with you unlike school. So I plan to get my ADN and work on my BSN online part time at first. Depending on how consuming I find my coursework I may...

  21. Moms pursuing Nursing

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

    I have a 3.5 year old and a 9 month old. Going to school full time (17 credits) but half my classes are online. Organization is

  22. How did you do in A&P?

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

    My program is selective but not at the same time. There are technically no prerequisites except math 101 and sciences in high school. But they do want students to be done with A&P 2 before the...

  23. How did you do in A&P?

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

    I just started this week. I got a voice recorder. I plan on recording lectures and playing them over on the rides to and from school. I find the book's online resources great (I started reading the...

  24. How does everyone else survive while you go to school?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to blackberry74's topic in General Students

    Budget budget budget. To save time AND money I started meal planning 3 weeks ago (I'm taking prerequisites too, haven't started nursing school but I'm "practicing"). I am in awe of how much money I...

  25. How old were you/how long did it take?

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

    How is Frontier, right now it's where I think I'd like to get my
