  1. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    MommaTy replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't start College until 2007 for pre-reqs. I was 21. Took me 5 years to do my pre-reqs, I am 27 and I just got accepted into the ADN program near me. I have 5 kids, so I went really slow. I...

  2. GPA not good enough?

    MommaTy replied to PreNursing16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got accepted with a 2.97 GPA. My school only requires the very least GPA of 2.5. Good

  3. Studying for science classes.

    MommaTy replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Repetition is what worked best for me. My professors always gave us a printout of her slides, but I found it helpful by writing it while she was going over it. Worked good for me. When it came to...

  4. How many attempts

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

    At Holyoke Community College in Mass it took me 1st try :) It took me 5 years to do my pre-reqs (I have 5 kids so I took it

  5. What was your GPA when you got accepted?

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

    My ADN program doesn't go all on your GPA. They go by a point system. So many points for each grade you got in classes, then points for experience in health care, then points for if you have a CNA....

  6. Is my planned Pre-nursing Fall 2013 schedule crazy/impossible?

    MommaTy replied to heres117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I would worry about is doing chemistry and A&P at the same time. Both will be extremely hard alone, let along together. Nothing is impossible, but remember you will need so much...

  7. I will never be a nurse. Should I just change my major?

    MommaTy replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school they will not accept anything less then a C+ in all science and nursing courses. But that is my program. Good

  8. MA to RN is it possible?

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

    You can most certainly apply once your pre-reqs are done :) The pre-reqs at my college for MA are different then the RN program. So look at your school that you are applying for RN and take those...

  9. Started with 50 down to 20

    MommaTy replied to Bubbly26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to community college so classes are smaller, but we started A&P 1 with 32 students and ended with 10 (this was in 2009). The sciences really make or break students. Same will go with the...

  10. A&P lecture part online? Good idea, bad idea?

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

    I personally couldn't learn physiology online by myself. I truly needed my professor to help me with it. So glad I didn't take it online. Lab is so much easier for me then lecture. English, Psych,...

  11. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

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

    My college doesn't require you to have it, but you actually have a better chance at getting in if you have one. I've been a CNA since 2004, so I had to get it again because I let it expire. But I...

  12. Will these grades get me in the ADN program or not?

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

    Eng 101, Eng 102, A&P 1, Human growth and development, microbiology all B-. A&P 2 A-, Nutrition A. My GPA is a 2.97 and I got accepted into the ADN program at my college. Our school picks...

  13. The waiting game...

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

    I'm not from Cali but I'm in Massachusetts. Our deadline was March 1st to put our applications in (I put mine in, in November). They then stated by April 15th we would know. Low and behold on...

  14. Taking A&P during the summer... With a 3 week old!

    MommaTy replied to Taylor1432's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You still have to take A&P 2 after A&P 1, so personally at 3 weeks old your baby will be waking up every 2-4 hours around the clock. I would wait until the fall semester. The baby will be a...

  15. Part time work and Nursing program?

    MommaTy posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all, I just got accepted into the nursing program for fall 2013. I was wondering if anyone is/was able to work part time while going to nursing school? I work monday-friday 4:15p to 8:30p. I...

  16. Nursing Program Length

    MommaTy replied to FutureNursing's topic in General Students

    Depends where you go. Here where I live community college nursing programs are 4 semesters (2 years). That does not include pre-reqs which are different for each student, because some take part time...

  17. Need some insight

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

    Well since you've been a CNA for 3 years you seem to get through it just fine :) I love everything about L&D, still brings a tear to my eyes when the baby cries for the 1st time. Reminds me of...

  18. More A& P questions....

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

    They make A&P and chemistry separate classes because they are very in-depth classes of their own. You will see a little Chemistry in A&P but not much. My ADN program doesn't require...

  19. Working with residents who have C.diff.

    MommaTy replied to uniquern2015's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked with many c-diff patients since being a CNA since 2004 and I have not gotten c-diff. If you follow safety precautions you will be fine :) I even had one patient that an aid was helping me...

  20. CNA rant....why did I become a CNA

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

    I truly think where and who you work with makes a huge difference. When I worked in the hospital as a CNA nurses helped way more than they do in LTC facilities. In LTC its like a nurse has no time...

  21. What did the physical for our nursing program require?

    MommaTy replied to brookedavis20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to be shy of down there until I had my 1st child. At 36 weeks you go weekly until you deliver, then you have every doctor staring down there while the baby is born (that got me over my fear...

  22. Attending school full time

    MommaTy replied to lynnjohnson13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I go to you can do pre-reqs at your own pace. Once you get into the ADN program you then have to go full time. But that is for community college. The Universities near me you have to...

  23. Need some insight

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

    The thing is you know blood and stuff grosses you out. Being a nurse, you see things like that every day (In L&D you do for sure with every delivery). You have been working as a CNA so you do...

  24. Soooo Anxious!!

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

    Hang in there. They can mail them out the 15th. So give it a couple more days. The lag at the post office will sometimes make it longer than usual as well. Good luck. I got my acceptance letter...

  25. Accepted!! What to do this summer in preparation

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

    If you got accepted to a program, they will have an orientation day. They will tell you everything you need for and before the program. Good
