  1. Accelerated A&P and 2 weeks to learn a ton of info!

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

    I have never taken an Online science course. I did take A&P 2 in class 4 weeks. It was intense I lived, breathed, slept A&P 2. I have 5 kids, I didn't work at that time. If I can get an...

  2. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

    MommaTy replied to wildside50's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are so many different areas of nursing you can go into. There is LTC, the hospitals, school nurse, doctors office RN. As a nurse you will still have to clean people in LTC and in the hospital....

  3. Not doing well in Bio class

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

  4. A and P Troubles

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

    The colleges near me require a C+ in all science and nursing courses to get in/remain in the program. Good luck, you can still pull that C+ up to a B- with a lot of studying

  5. CNA night shift??

    MommaTy replied to Axm611291's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes night shift is the "easiest" shift. I worked all shifts and the easiest one is the night shift. Staying awake sometimes is the only downfall. The pay is better at night

  6. Worst part about being a cna

    MommaTy replied to CNAkat31's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Lots of hard work and very little pay. Other than that, I love working with my

  7. Balancing diversity and academic achievement in program acceptance

    MommaTy replied to amandagill's topic in General Students

    My school is the same way. They do it because it looked like they used to only accept white female students. When in reality they were the only ones passing the classes and such. But now more and...

  8. Who taking A&P this summer?

    MommaTy replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 2 Summer 2012. It was a very intense 4 week course. I have 5 kids (was a SAHM at the time) and passed with a A-. If I can do it, so can you. Just know it will consume your life....

  10. Last semester but.. I Hate Nursing!

    MommaTy replied to mitral's topic in General Students

    You could become a school nurse or you could become a triage nurse at a doctors office

  11. Why did you get into the nursing field

    MommaTy replied to kikkidee6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I was young I actually wanted to be a doctor. So once in high school I took a CNA course so I graduated with my CNA and a baby. Then I had 2 more children all back to back. Working as a CNA...

  12. Question

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

    It is better to withdraw. I have like 3 withdrawals, which look better then a failing grade on a transcript. They don't know why you withdrew, and don't ask. They know things happen. They also...

  13. What was your GPA if you were rejected?

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

    See this would be hard to answer because some programs are a points system, so it wouldn't entirely depend on your GPA. I was accepted 1st try, my college is points

  14. So... Who else is waiting on that letter?

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

    Good luck. At my college they started accepting applications in November 2012 but I didn't find out until April 6, 2013 that I was accepted for the fall 2013 ADN :) So I waited 5 months for my...

  15. Kaplan Entrance Exam Question

    MommaTy replied to dolphin1966's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take the Kaplan test, I took the NLN and the book was also paperback. With the reading sections you still had the reading section on your screen with your questions below so you could scroll...

  16. Is medical terminology and A&P different?

    MommaTy replied to ph94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both are different courses. But Medical terminology is very helpful before any healthcare

  17. Studying before classes begin

    MommaTy replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my college when you get enrolled it tells you your professor then on our college website we can look up our professor and email them or find their office and phone number. I would get a syllabus...

  19. CNA schedule and Nursing School

    MommaTy replied to peachshan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Depends where you work. Some places are 8 hour shifts and some are 12 hour shifts. Once you complete your first semester of nursing classes some places will allow you to work as a student nurse (as...

  20. Should have started sooner

    MommaTy replied to future_nurse215's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's never too late :) Some people don't know what they want until they are in their 50s. Don't think that way about I should have, you did what you wanted at the time. I graduated high school in...

  21. What is your Fall schedule?

    MommaTy replied to Lolita34's topic in General Students

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

  23. Is CNA even worth going for?

    MommaTy replied to angellove6776's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think going for a CNA before nursing is the best. You get to see if you really like healthcare. If you can't handle CNA you wont be able to handle being a nurse. I have been a CNA for almost 10...

  24. Any CNA working at med/surg floor?

    MommaTy replied to e71x's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I first became a CNA I worked on a telemetry unit. Then I moved to another state and worked on a Pediatric unit (loved it). Then I moved back home and worked on a Med/surg unit. It's a busy...

  25. Accelerated ADN or Generic ADN. Which is better?

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

    Since you already have a BS I would go for the Accelerated. But that is what I would do. Good luck, remember in the end no matter which way you go you will be a nurse
