I'm finishing my first nursing semester, I work part time, and I am a mother of 3 young children...if I didn't take the time to read a few mindless historical romance novels I'd crack...they are my sanity. I usually start and finish 1 a week. (I down...
We joke about it together, but we will complete this journey together, all of us, including my 3 kids. My BSN signifies sacrifice and hard work given by each member of our family, as each will benefit from it. Team mentality is important for our fami...

I live in this area. The PCC nursing students have a great reputation for producing desired local nurses. Mainly because the school fosters healthy work habits and ethics. As far as accreditation and needing to move, I can't help you. But your local ...

I took A&P 1/2 online (labs on campus). It was a very interesting class, lots of studying, and reading. But it is all very interesting. Stay completely engaged throughout the course, if you begin to fall behind it will become overwhelming...under...

As a soon to be nursing student I have little to offer from the nurses perspective. However, I wonder if we may be missing the bigger picture? If these policies were practiced, and the drs. were aware, then maybe the facility used the last instance a...

All great suggestions...but I wanted to share one thing my dad always tells me (and I wish I knew where he found the study so I could site it) He says, "A study found that you can get 80% of the benefits of a weekly work out with only 1-2 days of wo...

We live where it rains a lot and it gets really hot outside. One of my children has some pretty bad eczema spots and the sweat makes it burn and he can't swim in anything but salt water most days because of it...needless to say, activities for him ar...

Thank you for the info. I've been very anxious to know details, and I was wondering if I'd missed an email. I need to set up childcare for my 3 children and that's difficult to do if you don't know what the schedule will be. :/ Oh well, I'm just grat...

I found them to be equally as challenging. If you really master the first sciences it will make it a little easier for the other courses, because all the concepts are built on. I found A&P 1 the most challenging...but that's probably because it...

^this is key...time management skills. You need to develop the discipline and skills to not let yourself go lax. If you get a moment to study, you must study! Always assume something could get in the way of finishing an assignment on time, so finish ...

I have taken a lot of classes online, don't loose hope, they usually will offer a grace test reopen or extra credit after the midway point. This isn't always true, but it often is. Mistakes like that are frustrating, but don't let it steal all hope,...

You might really enjoy a trip to the Appalachian mountains. It's a beautiful area, with a rich southern and Native American history. There are also some very poor areas that are in desperate need. Good luck in you journey. I'm from the panhandle of...

Hey, I live local but a friend of mine works for remax and he said he can give you a list of properties to help you narrow your search and he will help you take it from there. Tell him Lauren sent you. His email is: [email protected]

I would love to know as well. I'm starting school this fall, with three children (8, 5, and 2). I'm curious what will be an easier schedule once I'm finished.
stylishest replied to SelenaL18's topic in Pre-Nursing
I'm 30 and will be starting nursing school this fall. This is my second career, or third (if you count being a stay at home mom). All I can say is this, take it one day at a time, keep your eyes on the prize, and let your failures build character in ...
I found micro to be equally challenging. However, I felt the first science courses were the most challenging, whether micro or A&P, simply because it is one of the first times you will begin to learn these processes. The science courses after bui...
I can't give you the advice you are looking for, but I'll tell you what I experienced. I had my third while finishing my prerequisites for nursing school. I had him during spring break. It was an easier semester, so it was fine. However, I started th...
