  1. Q for those married with kids...

    hikernurse replied to rainbowbrite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got a whole lotta kids and I started NS this week. We live on one not huge salary; we're just careful and don't buy what we can't afford to pay for. Fortunately, neither one of us has expensive...

  2. Gimme some suggestions for shoes for my aching feet!

    hikernurse replied to wayover20's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dear Husband

  3. I'm FREAKING OUT. Pls help!!!!! My nursing intructors are Drill Sergeants

    hikernurse replied to titohan's topic in General Students

    Boy, I wouldn't try to re-schedule with INS---they're tougher than nursing instructors :). Since you know you have to do the make-up, could you start now? With spreading the work out, it might not...

  4. AHHHHHHHH! first day of A&P

    hikernurse replied to browsing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    17 credits is a lot. You may be better taking fewer hours and doing really well in them--but only you can decide. I really liked anatomy, but it took many, many hours of study a week. Physiology...

  5. labor/delivery classes??

    hikernurse replied to lisa_marie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your baby :). Since this was posted in pre-nursing you're just starting out? If that's the case, I'd check into colleges near you that have nursing programs, decide which one would work...

  6. I also passed the NET

    hikernurse replied to JoDB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But you did pass! It's just an entrance exam; the one that counts is when you exit and from what I hear, it's not on basic math. Seriously, don't let it bug you--I've taken the test and I can't...

  7. Pregnancy Testing/Banking Cord Blood

    hikernurse replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Congratulations on your pregnancy :). Considering everything, I'm really glad it happened so quickly for you. I didn't do much testing with my babies; I wouldn't terminate a pregnancy anyway, so I...

  8. BCC Premedical club - volunteering in healthcare in general?

    hikernurse replied to bookreader123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think our school has a medical/nursing club, but I'd join if they did. I do volunteer and really enjoy it. The nurses are really great about pulling me in and showing me new things and...

  9. Micro and Patho???

    hikernurse replied to Sleepy_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took them the same semester, but I didn't take any other classes with them. I thought it was hard but doable. I actually thought patho was harder than micro because micro reviewed material from...

  10. NET test math

    hikernurse replied to ikatiana21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, I don't know any websites, but the test isn't all that hard. The math part was pretty basic, +, -, x, /. Fractions, decimals, some division with decimals. The algebra part was VERY basic....

  11. Net ?????

    hikernurse replied to rgrgray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took it and thought it was really easy. The math was pretty basic; decimals were the hardest part. The algebra part was doable if you've ever taken any algebra in your life. I wouldn't sweat...

  12. How old is too old?

    hikernurse replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 40 and starting an ADN program in a couple of weeks (yippee) and I bet the class age average is probably right around 40--some younger, some older--but alot of people come into this field after...

  13. LPN program open advising Monday. What questions should I ask

    hikernurse replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd definitely ask about the clinicals. I'd tell her I had planned to go ADN initially, but that my plans changed and ask her what differences there would be in the LPN program (I assume you checked...

  14. Getting Organized Before Starting School

    hikernurse replied to Katydidit34's topic in General Students

    I'm a list girl. I spend about an hour a week planning out my homework by the day as well as making a list about house things and kid things. I plan meals by the month, but for the most part, I just...

  15. Starting pre-nursing in August!!

    hikernurse replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nah, I'm just a nursing student, (love writing that :) ), but being a camp nurse would be great! What we really need is summer camp for grownups, though,

  16. I got accepted!!

    hikernurse replied to mummer43's topic in General Students

    Wonderful

  17. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    hikernurse replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    Three semesters on the waiting list at my CC. I didn't mind waiting because I still had classes to finish for general ed--although if I were given a choice, I would have chosen not to wait . I...

  18. Statistics...how did you survive?

    hikernurse replied to SLH522's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like SusanJean said, it's not really math. Very, very basic algebra at the most. I just finished (June 15) my class and ended up getting a B. I HATED the class, but I got through :). Do you have a...

  19. Starting pre-nursing in August!!

    hikernurse replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome. You're in for a fun ride :). It's nice to challenge your mind after years of being home with kids--well, a *different* kind of challenge, anyway. Ah, you'll have a blast (says the girl who...

  20. Should a dad be in the room?

    hikernurse replied to GARNPEACH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Like you, my FIL walked into the room after I'd had my first, just as they were getting ready to sew and unfortunately in this room, the foot of the bed faced the door. It took a bit before he could...

  21. Should a dad be in the room?

    hikernurse replied to GARNPEACH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She's pretty young. Maybe she's not comfortable enough to talk to her dad straight about her reservations. Could her mother talk to him, maybe? If she's uncomfortable with the people who are...

  22. What is a Lab Practical?

    hikernurse replied to Rae_French's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow--a minute at each station would have thrown me for sure. It would have taken me that long to talk myself down--I was really nervous about the tests. We had stuff set up all over the room and we...

  23. Live Chat - Why dont we use it??

    hikernurse replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, what if you started a thread saying when you were going to be in there--I bet more people would come if they knew they wouldn't be alone. Maybe give a quick tutorial to people who hadn't done it...

  24. Kadivars and Cats in A&P

    hikernurse replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC had male and female cadavers (with several extra limbs and body parts, like brains) and then we dissected fetal pigs. I did it with a partner, but you could do that by yourself if you were so...

  25. What do patients say that irks you?

    hikernurse replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish I had and I definitely would now if it happened. My experience with this hospital (and it has gotten a bit better) is that the nurses weren't trained (is that the right word?) in...
