  1. Brown Discharge Question

    hikernurse replied to utterlyconfused's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First, I'm really sorry you're having to go through this. I've lost babies before and it is really devastating . Take time to grieve. I'm not a nurse yet, but did have a similar experience. I...

  2. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    hikernurse replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Aw, you guys might not love delivering the babies, but you do a good job when you have to! I have great memories of the L&D nurse who delivered my daughter a few years

  3. A few questions

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

    CC stands for community college--alot cheaper and closer for me to complete my degree at. Hey, I'm blonde, too, so I'm throwing no stones :chuckle I took my nursing pre-reqs first, applied to the...

  4. Just Found Out I Failed

    hikernurse replied to Triple A's's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't drop unless you have to in order to preserve your GPA. I, too, am an older student (just turned 40 ) and Anatomy was the scariest class I took. Find out what's not working for you--I'd start...

  5. I can't wait because . . .

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

    I can't wait because being a nurse is something I've always wanted to do. People say I look like a nurse and when they ask if I am one I will finally be able to say "YES". Besides, now that I'm...

  6. Really bad GPA please help!

    hikernurse replied to chico's topic in General Nursing

    I took nursing pre-req classes my freshman year many years ago and did terrible (D+ to C range) in them. I talked to the nursing advisor at the university and she said that because they were several...

  7. New Slant on ADN vs BSN: are ADN programs anti-intellectual?

    hikernurse replied to NurseFirst's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure the op isn't this person either, but doesn't every class seem to have one? :chuckle I had a teacher who handled this very well, though. When asked something she didn't know the answer to...

  9. CNA ? Is it really gross and why do we have to?

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

    Yep, some of it's gross, but it's great experience for hands-on patient care. I'm just starting nursing school myself, but from what I've heard, RNs still have to deal with alot of icky things--even...

  10. Which class is more difficult?

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

    I found Micro to be more of a review of cell bio and patho and so I didn't need to put in much time. A&P, while alot more doable than I initially thought they'd be, still required alot of...

  11. Kids while in nursing school?

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

    I wish I knew . Most of mine are in day school, but I still have a 4 yo and a baby to find care for. Our school won't give us our schedule until orientation in July/August (we start in August), so...

  12. Need advice for non-nursing courses please

    hikernurse replied to nurse34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've done both on-line and in-person classes and I think it's usually easier to attend class. It seems easier to sort out the info when you have a teacher in front of the room emphasizing what is...
