  1. Chamberlin St. Louis January 2014 start date

    I have a friend that goes there now. She started last year and so far loves it! I know a lot of people don't like Chamberlain but St. Louis' Chamberlain is good from what I have heard.
  2. Student Loans

    Unsubsidized loans actually accrue interest from the time they are dispersed. I would be carefully with how much you take out. Try all other avenues first, grants, scholarships, family help etc... before loans. Also loans from the government have a m...
  3. Wait-listed classes?

    I agree with INN_777. If it filled up that quickly and has a set number of people on the wait list, odds are that 18 people will not drop the class. Sorry Is there another school near you that you could take those classes at? Why couldn't you sign ...
  4. I want a medical job!!!!

    I certainly don't think a CNA is a waste of time. I didn't do it but I know people who have. How about volunteering in a hospital? It would not only look good on a resume but give you helpful experience and allow you to build a network of people in y...
  5. Passed CNA!

    Congrats!!
  6. Fall '14 Applicants!!!

    Maryville University Fall '14! Letters go out in February to see who gets in!!!
  7. I am in the same situation. Mortgage, bills, low paying job with basically no way to save, no help from anyone, etc... I also have 2 kids and one has medical special needs so her medical bills are high and fluctuate month to month too. Basically, to...
  8. Informative Nursing Websites for Pre-Nurses

    No, that's not the right one. It's Lion Den. There isn't a "nursing" part per se, it's more of A&P, systems, links for help and so on. I hope it helps :)
  9. Informative Nursing Websites for Pre-Nurses

    Glad you like it!! He is a very intelligent man who truly loved teaching (he retired earlier this year). He wrote the A&P book we used at my school so we had a bit of "insider info" if you will I look at the website all the time though, it kee...
  10. Informative Nursing Websites for Pre-Nurses

    My A&P teacher created a website called lionden that has a LOT of info on it. You really have to navigate all the tabs to get everything out of it but I would start with that :) Good luck!
  11. What do nurses really need to know?

    While I am not yet a nursing student, from what I know it is all important. Yes, I would agree that physiology is the most important because if you don't understand what is normal how can you understand what is abnormal? However, bones are important ...
  12. I passed stats!!!

    I took an 8 week online stats course and was so nervous about it but... I PASSED!!!! Not only did I pass but I got a 99% in the class! I am so ecstatic! This is the class that I was dreading and truly thought it would be the hardest of all my classes...
  13. UMSL vs Chamberlain

    I didn't apply to UMSL but I have a friend who got accepted. Sh's not a good friend so I do not know her GPA, sorry. I am going to Maryville and LOVE it! It may be an option for you if you are looking into other schools. I believe that their pre reqs...
  14. Maryville 2014 WEC

    Hi!! I can't wait to find out either! I hear the letters should come in February, that is going to be the longest month EVER!!! LOL :) I have 3 classes left after this semester. I am going to take 2 this spring and one in the summer :) Good luck! I ...
  15. Prereq help! (From previous degree)

    Hi and welcome to AN! I am not in Philadelphia so I will answer these questions to the best of my ability :) 1) My stats class I just took was for psych majors. It's the one that all pre-nursing students take at my school. Every school is different s...
  16. Any other students who are mothers?

    I'm a single mom too; I have 2 kids, 9 and 7. My 7 yo is a sick little one too who has many special needs. I also work full time. It is very doable :) Good luck!
  17. I passed stats!!!

    Thank you! I really liked it online. My professor was amazing and set up the class so it was incredibly easy to understand. We used a program called SPSS to do all our labs (it did most the calculations for us) and we just had to interpret and write ...
  18. Where are you going to school?

    I though it would be fun to see where everyone plans on attending school and when. Maybe we could meet people who are in the same area! I am in St. Louis Mo and plan on going to Maryville University's WEC BSN program beginning in August 2014. Anyone ...
  19. Job Market for New Grad RNs in St. Louis?

    I'm still in pre-nursing but I keep my eye out bc it makes me nervous too. There are some new grad programs here in STL but they are very competitive. I am hoping to get into SSM Futures when I graduate. If I where you I would go apply now. They have...
  20. Chamberlain College of Nursing-St. Louis

    I took most my pre-req's at SCC and then transferred to Maryville. I have a friend that is going to Chamberlain and seems to like it. I can't speak for the program myself but I know she is doing well. Personally I like Maryville but I don't think the...
  21. Any advice for A+P?

    http://lionden.com/ Go to this link, hover mouse over the Anatomy & Physiology link at the top of the page, then A&P1, then A&P lectures, then Learning outlines. There is an outline for every topic covered in A&P plus some. This is ...
  22. Do you read all the text for science classes?

    I read the text for every class I take every time. I even read the little bubbles on the side and look at charts and graphs. Personally, I want to get as much as I can out of ever course and I feel that reading the text is included in that. Yes, it i...
  23. SSM Futures - An Overview

    Thank you very much for the information! There are definitely things I have in mind that I would like to do. As a DV survivor, I want to volunteer at the local DV shelter but you can't do any type of "healthcare" volunteer work until you have your RN...
  24. What type of nursing do you want to specialize in?

    I would love to work in NICU or pediatric CICU. Both are very hard areas to get into. Another possibility is an infusion nurse. I will just see where my schooling leads me :)
  25. SSM Futures - An Overview

    I am very interested in entering the FUTURES program at SSM when I graduate. I have quite a while to go (grad in DEC 2016 with BSN) but I want to make sure I am competitive when I am able to apply. One of the things that is listed on their website is...
