  1. a&p 1 in four weeks?!?!?!?!

    MommaTy replied to chas2283's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMHO I found A&P 1 more difficult that A&P 2. I did A&P1 during a spring semester (15 weeks) and got a B-. I took A&P 2 during the summer semester (4 weeks) and I got an A-. I...

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

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

    For mine it was a regular physical. Plus they did a hearing/vision (which aren't normally don't at my physical). Then I requested titers for the vaccines that my doctors office lost so I could show...

  3. How many points did you need to get into nursing school?

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

    They didn't have a set number of points. What they do is add your points against others, so either you float to the top or sink to the bottom :) Good

  4. CNAs feel about students clinicals

    MommaTy replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wasn't trying to be rude at all, sorry if it came out that way. But I should have added I did my CNA program in high school for 2 years. So there was a lot more time to learn more hands on than...

  5. Sciences i need to take

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

    Look at your schools. They always have programs and their required courses online. Because I'm only going for ADN I only needed Intro to bio, microbiology, A&P 1&2. No chemistry for my...

  6. Rejected

    MommaTy replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So sorry about your rejection. Don't give up, apply to all schools around you. My community College goes by a point system. Which means you get so many points per grade taken, how long you have...

  7. Fall 2013...

    MommaTy replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started my pre-reqs in 2007 when I was 21. I just finished my pre-reqs August 2012 at 26. I got accepted to the RN program that starts this fall 2013 at age 27 :) Good luck, study hard to get...

  8. Nursing school health screen/drug test

    MommaTy replied to cmbtmdc33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take Klonipin for panic. But I only take it at night. I wonder if that will show up. I know the drug test I took at work (before I started treatment for my panic) was very in depth. It tested...

  9. should i take a cpr class now or...?

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

    Not always true. The nursing home I'm in won't pay for CPR and doesn't care if I have it or not. But I am signed up for May 24th to get it anyway. I need it for the RN program I start fall 2013....

  10. New CNA

    MommaTy replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Really, there is no magical shoe. But I promise you it gets better :) Your feet have to get used to being on them for so long. Give it a good 3 weeks :) Good luck and enjoy your new

  11. CNAs feel about students clinicals

    MommaTy replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was never thrown with a CNA, I was given a patient and was told to go. You learn everything you need to in class. At least my class I did, they were great, I guess more teachers are leaving CNAs...

  12. IV fluid question

    MommaTy replied to ryand15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is the pre-nursing board, I would ask the nursing board :) Good

  13. How do I pick a college for Nursing?

    MommaTy replied to 13nawrotf's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry I can't give you input on those schools. What I can help you with is going to ratemyprofessor.com and looking up the pass retention rate of the students in the schools. Good luck

  14. CNAs feel about students clinicals

    MommaTy replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is either welcomed or not. It is welcomed if they know what they are doing instead of sticking to your side like a leech. I don't mind showing students the right thing to do a couple times, but...

  15. can you give injections

    MommaTy replied to angeleyes2361's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not as a CNA you can't. You can give vaccines as a medical

  16. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

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

    I have 5 kids, ages 9, 7, 6, 3, and 16 months. I personally wouldn't be going to a program that is 2 hours away. If you are not moving near that school that is 4 hours a day of traveling time that...

  17. What kind of computer should I buy for school?

    MommaTy replied to bv1995's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a macbook

  18. why is it..

    MommaTy replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a mom to 5 beautiful children. Ive been a CNA since 2004. I love working with the patients, but the pay is really low for the amount of work that is done. That is why it took me 5 years to do...

  19. Have I RUINED my chances at Nursing? :(

    MommaTy replied to dpm0x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks better on your transcript to have a withdrawl then a failing grade. I had 3 withdrawls on my transcript. They really don't question or ask why it happened. Just take it again once they...

  20. How many ADN programs are you applying to for Fall 2013?

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

    I only applied for one ADN program. Over 350 people apply yearly and only 30 to 40 get accepted. I found out I was accepted on 4/6/13. :) Good luck, don't give

  21. Surgical Tech to RN

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

    When applying to nursing they look more for CNA's. Surgical techs even part time are tough hours to work around school. Good luck

  22. A Watched Kettle Never Boils: Waiting to Hear From Nursing Schools

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

    I feel your pain! I applied back in October and just heard back on 4/6/13 that I was accepted. The whole time was the worst wait ever!!!! Good luck

  23. Where do I go from here

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

    Apply to as many schools as you can, even community colleges. Even though you will get an associates, you can go back to do RN to BSN programs. Good

  24. Any advice for a male trying to earn his c.n.a. Out there?

    MommaTy replied to JeffreyT89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just know that any nurse or CNA will come looking for you to help with transfers (men have some great muscles). I got my CNA in high school back in 2004. I've been a CNA ever since. I did pre-reqs...

  25. Ouch. :(

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

    I meant to quote my A&P professor, "1 test grade will not make you fail the course". Meaning if you continue to get poor grades then you will fail, but if you have one crappy test that's okay....
