  1. The competition....

    claritasd replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school you're interested in doesn't require your work history? Because if they do, I assume they'll look at

  2. It's been 5 yrs since I've taken pre-requisite courses, should I retake them?

    claritasd replied to cmalabay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely contact the program(s) you're interested in to check whether they average the grades. But in reality if you're unhappy with your previous grades and get a better grade the second time...

  3. Giving up isn't an option

    claritasd replied to lexapoo10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do the schools you're most interested in require chemistry? And do you actually have a GPA below their limit or do you just think it's not a good GPA? You could look into quick term chemistry classes....

  4. Taking Physiology without Anatomy first?

    claritasd replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Work, no kids, planning to take 3 classes (either A and 2 others, or A, P, and 1 other). And sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Just figured it wasn't worth starting a whole new

  5. Taking Physiology without Anatomy first?

    claritasd replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In a similar vein, does it seem like absolute suicide to take Anatomy and Physiology at the same time? I mean two separate classes, not

  6. I am interested in opportunities for Direct-entry certified midwives

    claritasd replied to Britmw's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ohhh you're right, sorry. I was confusing CM and DEM in my head. I know they're different, though. (Brain fart). So, basically, ignore everything I said. Outside of the few states where CMs are...

  7. Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?

    claritasd replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're interested in health and nutrition, why not look into dietician or nutritionist

  8. I am interested in opportunities for Direct-entry certified midwives

    claritasd replied to Britmw's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Here's some info: Birthingway College of Midwifery- Midwifery

  9. I am interested in opportunities for Direct-entry certified midwives

    claritasd replied to Britmw's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes CMs are recognized, but to my knowledge they can't work in hospitals because they are not medically trained. Obviously I could be wrong, though. Hopefully someone else

  10. Nursing School

    claritasd replied to acurtis4170's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the program can be completed part-time, you'd probably be ok. But doing a full-time nursing program plus working full-time could be rough. Everybody is different, though; what one person can handle...

  11. Advice on how to study?

    claritasd replied to mandaay0313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always had trouble figuring out what worked best for me (at least in the sense of auditory, visual, or kinesthetic). It seemed like I could learn any of those ways, and I'd always come out even on...

  12. Each university have different pre-requisites

    claritasd replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. I wouldn't apply to schools for which you haven't completed the prerequisites unless you have a plan in place to finish them before classes start. Some of them do have slightly different...

  13. I am interested in opportunities for Direct-entry certified midwives

    claritasd replied to Britmw's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I thought it was the other way around - that a CNM could do a CM job but a CM couldn't do a CNM job because of the lack of nursing training. I've never heard of hospitals hiring non-nurse CMs, but I...

  14. Dream do come true:)

    claritasd replied to Futurenurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there. Here are a couple places you could look into: Houston Community College. Two-year program, though it looks like up to four years part-time is ok. Before you're admitted, you need to have...

  15. There has to be an easier way....

    claritasd replied to Lpn2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think we ALL need to remember that what we type on the internet doesn't always convey our tone. MissLipsz, you've definitely got some good advice here. Having the BSN is a great option, but it's...

  16. There has to be an easier way....

    claritasd replied to Lpn2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hahaha awesome thanks. That's what I thought, but it's been a long time since I took a linguistics

  17. There has to be an easier way....

    claritasd replied to Lpn2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen plenty of worse grammar on here than "an RN." Besides, I personally think "an RN'" "an MS," "an MIT student," etc are grey areas. Also, there are run-on sentences in your post about grammar....

  18. Time for a vacation!! Where do you want to go?

    claritasd replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    When my husband and I finish with Peace Corps, we're planning a big trip of Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Fingers crossed that it

  19. Is it too late to find a backup plan school?

    claritasd replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Specifically in NY? I know NYU has a spring-start

  20. My final grades spring'13

    Principles of Public Health - B Statistics - C... I'm hoping to retake Stats in the

  21. Gaining weight

    claritasd replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, calivianya's post about Weight Watchers is great. WW has been a really useful tool for both my mom and mother-in-law, and my sister is starting to see results with it, too. If you're the kind of...

  22. Gaining weight

    claritasd replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're packing a lunch (or aren't but ought to be!), maybe you can find a little chunk of time on the weekend to prep things in advance. If you, say, take 20 minutes on Sunday to chop up some...

  23. What classes did/are you take/taking for Summer?

    claritasd replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lifespan Development and Biosafety/Laboratory Issues (for a public health

  24. Anatomy and Physiology

    claritasd posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For those of you who have already done A and P, was dissection required? I'm vegan, and I'm really uncomfortable dissecting animals - humans who have donated their bodies to science, ok, but animals...

  25. Anatomy and Physiology

    claritasd replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, thanks everybody. So basically it could be required, or not, or recommended, or not, or... haha. Thanks for the
