  1. Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    I don't need to lose any weight, but I am trying to get in better over-all shape and to get stronger. I have an old dance injury that prevents any high impact exercise, like running or jumping, so I...

  2. Very Confused, Need Direction

    Jenngirl34RN replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    The best thing to do is to get your official transcripts and meet with the admissions advisor at the school you want to go. The will be able to tell you what credits will transfer over and what...

  3. Study while commuting???

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Pipestone's topic in General Students

    I love that app! I used it all the time in A&P and Micro. I also like that you can put all of your stuff in Evernote and add information from other resources too...it is an awesome way to...

  4. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    We use the same books (all 9 of them) for the entire program so it actually would cost more to rent all of them for the entire length of the program than to just buy them

  5. Study while commuting???

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Pipestone's topic in General Students

    The notebooks aren't very expensive. It is nice to write with once you get used to it...it is bigger and heavier than most pens so it did take a while to get used to it. Now I love it

  6. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I went into the decision to go back to school to be a nurse wanting to do pediatrics or NICU. About a year ago (while I was still finishing prereqs) my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I spent...

  7. Study while commuting???

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Pipestone's topic in General Students

    I have a Livescribe pen that records lectures as you write notes (in special notebooks), and when you plug them into the computer it syncs the recording with your written notes. The pen also does...

  8. What type of agenda do you use for nursing school?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    My Google calendar gets so filled up already with all of my day to day activities, and those of my kids, that I don't like adding all of my assignments to it. I have a separate spiral bound...

  9. First Day of Nursing School

    Jenngirl34RN replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    " What is your schedule like? I start August 19th, but this is what my schedule is like: Monday - Lecture from 1-3, Clinical from 4-7 Tuesday - Math for Nurses from 1-3 Wednesday - Lecture from 1-3...

  10. First Day of Nursing School

    Jenngirl34RN replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    Wow, all of your schools start so early compared to mine! Fall quarter for my school doesn't start until 9/23. I had my first orientation on back on 6/17 and the second one on 9/16. For the first...

  11. Which shoes to buy for nursing clinicals?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I guess it depends on your school's requirements. My school requires white or black leather sneakers or Danskos-type clogs (they have to have a back like Danskos do). I really like Danskos, but a...

  12. T minus 39 days til nursing school starts!!!!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    My classes don't start until Sept 23rd, but I am perfectly fine with that! I am really excited (and nervous) to start, but I am buying my textbooks (all 9 of them) and supplies a little at a time so...

  13. Lab coats

    Jenngirl34RN replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    We are required to get a lab coat with the school logo and our names embroidered on them. I haven't actually started my program yet, so I am not entirely sure when all we will be wearing them. The...

  14. Is there an RN-BSN online school that doesn't require current RN license

    Jenngirl34RN replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    Some schools will let you apply before you get your RN but require that you get your RN before the program starts. Just ask the admissions advisors at the school you are attending if they will allow...

  15. I have a few questions!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Tyler626's topic in General Students

    I am looking at relocating after I am through school and what I have found in most of the places I have looked is that in order to transfer your license you have to provide a copy of your degree (to...

  16. Do you hate when?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to guerrerop22's topic in General Students

    One member of my family is a raging hypochondriac (seriously, she thought she had prostate cancer, and then freaked when first told she didn't have a prostate). She is constantly asking me do...

  17. Please Help First Clinical Rotation in Oncology

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Regulas's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My husband was diagnosed with cancer last year, and I can tell you from our experience that emotions will be all over the place. Mostly, you just treat them as you would any patient. Some days will...

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

    Jenngirl34RN replied to ShyeoftheTiger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations to everyone who got into their programs! I am still waiting. We were first told we would be notified by 4/1, then we were notified they were eliminating 18 spots so it will be even...

  20. Anyone applying for Bellevue College nursing 2013-2014 program?!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to ccchristine5's topic in Washington Nursing

    I just checked the mail and no letter yet. I am having such a hard time being patient! I got a 92.7 on the TEAS, so I am hoping I least make it into the Winter start group. Good luck to all of you...
