  5. Need Words of Encouragement

    MommaTy replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be so hard on yourself. Do you know if your school is a points based system or how they evaluate you getting accepted? Mine was points based. Got so many points for each grade in each class,...

  6. can't take any prereqs- frustrated

    MommaTy replied to lykchen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would first look into another college. At most colleges sciences courses are offered to all students regardless of your program. The nursing program itself is usually hard to get into and lots of...

  9. Need Advice

    MommaTy replied to Rodriqma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me 5 years just to do pre-reqs. Hang in there, keep it up, if it's something you want you won't stop. Good

  10. How long did you wait

    MommaTy replied to muirite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school does not have a wait list. You have to reapply every year. They also base your application on a points system. Good luck

    MommaTy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I have a panic disorder which is controlled with prescribed Klonopin. I only take .5mg at night before bed and I'm happy that something finally worked for it. I suffered with severe panic...

  12. Pharmacology

    MommaTy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I was looking at my school, which I start the ADN this fall and I'm sad that the Pharmacology classes are only offered online. I dislike online classes, I love to be in class where I thrive...

  16. Klonopin ?

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

    I just emailed my nursing coordinator. She said she forwarded my email to the head of the nursing program. I'm not worried about illegal drugs or even abusing my meds, thanks for all the replies

  17. Klonopin ?

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

    I just talked with a doctor and he said it is illegal for them to deny me. He is a doctor and takes a benzo for his anxiety. He said I just need to bring my prescription and even a note from my...

  18. Klonopin ?

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

    No, going off of my medication would cause some pretty intense effects. I would have to be weaned and stuff, but I really don't want to since I have a severe panic disorder and it helps. I will...

  20. Differences in classes between lpn programs across the states

    MommaTy replied to kjamison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school which is a community college LPNs and RNs need the same pre-reqs. Only reason why is because they have a bridge course, which means LPNs and RNs spend the 1st 2 semesters together then...

  21. preparing for nursing school suggestions for study guides, flash cars supplies etc.

    MommaTy replied to Devin6xx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what everyone tells me, don't study anything before nursing classes start. Relax and enjoy your free time. Don't get an automatic cuff, they don't always work for all patients. Any manual cuff...

  22. Premature Clinicals Question??

    MommaTy replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school clinicals are on Thursdays and Fridays 7a-1p. That is the hands on part of nursing. Once you get accepted you will know more. Most schools have an orientation day. Mine is May 29th...

  23. Calling all ED Techs...

    MommaTy replied to AlaskaHopeful's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You shouldn't need any books. You will be trained with another ER tech and will gain all your experience doing the position instead of reading about it. Good luck. Just remember you will see some...
