  1. Transferring for nursing?

    krrbrr replied to sunshine_27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First I would say, please please please please don't let the 'boy' in your life determine ANY decisions regarding your education. I did many years ago and now here I am at 33, still taking pre-req's...

  2. Prerequisites and Washington state

    krrbrr replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with sgarcia14 and would get the statistics out of the way! I'm also in Washington and have very similar pre-req's to take. I found statistics surprisingly easy and not like a typical "math"...

  3. Everything but the TEAS exam...

    krrbrr replied to BSNMeme2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not 100% positive on this, maybe every state is different? I do know for instance with WGU if I do a search for "WGU Washington" it will pull up a site specific to what programs are offered here,...

  4. Everything but the TEAS exam...

    krrbrr replied to BSNMeme2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of score did you get on the TEAS? Have you met the cap on how many times you can take it for the school you're trying to enroll in? How long did you study prior to taking the TEAS? Sorry I...

  5. LPN?

    krrbrr replied to Doglover109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This! First let me say... every school and area is different. The schools that are around me (in WA state) have RN programs that are 2 years. After the first year you are allowed to sit for the LPN...

  6. Getting Discouraged

    krrbrr replied to Landie235's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm right here with you! I'm nearing the end of my pre-req's and am feeling the pressure/stress that comes along with it. We can do this though!!!! Don't forget to take care of yourself though, eat...

  7. Pre-requites are 2 years

    krrbrr replied to sromerov's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know how parents tell us when we're younger that if you want something bad enough then you can make it happen? Well, for nursing school it takes more than just wanting it, you have to fight for...

  8. Finally I know my career!

    krrbrr replied to pootzie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I can't tell you how that is since I'm finishing up my pre-req's now. I will tell you that if you want it bad enough, you can most definitely succeed. Don't be afraid to get to...

  9. All CNAs

    krrbrr replied to Vtachy1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took a 3 week CNA course in '13 summer and it was insane! Since it was a compressed course I might have different experiences than most, but one of the things I seemed to struggle with the most on...

  10. Accepted into Nursing School

    krrbrr replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    grats to both of you! I also don't have any advice or offer any help as I'm still working on pre-req's myself! Wish you both the best though! awesome

  11. Procrastination

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

    Thank you both for your replies :) Yes I do use a planner like mad! Sadly the problem I seem to be having isn't my organization in general, I'm a bit OCD in how I like things organized hah. You're SO...

  12. Procrastination

    krrbrr posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it's... KILLING me! I suffer from anxiety issues and I know that's what contributes to the times when I seem to procrastinate the most. I am much better about avoiding procrastinating now than I was...

  13. Ebola: Why Respiratory Protection MUST Be Worn

    krrbrr replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. I can understand how nurses who maybe weren't aware of these forums prior to the ebola mess might have found their way to these forums, it just seems a...

  14. MATH

    krrbrr replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    https://www.khanacademy.org/ was my savior when I had to take algebra after being out of school for so long! I also did general searches on youtube for specific areas I struggled in and it helped a...

  15. How many pre-reqs do you have to go?

    krrbrr replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This fall I'm taking a&p 1 and lifespan psychology right now, winter quarter will be a&p 2 and sociology, spring will be microbiology and studying for the TEAS. Applications are due April...

  16. A&P

    krrbrr replied to Amylovesnursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure A&P is hard for most people (I'm currently taking it as well!). Hang in there, we can do this!!! Make sure to utilize the internet A LOT! Like the link posted above for tutoring as well...

  17. Take Intro to Bio or AP out of it?

    krrbrr replied to inkkedandproud86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school had an intro to bio class listed as a pre-req for A&P. However my adviser told me that it's not needed (and the professor doesn't care if you take it), so I proceeded on with A&P...

  18. Centralia Community College

    krrbrr replied to sgarcia14's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm also attending CC :) this quarter I'm taking A&P and the 2nd Psyc class, only a few more classes to go and I'll be ready to apply for next fall's program! I'm a bit farther away from LC, but I...

  19. Seeking Advice - Effective Communications Prerequisite

    krrbrr replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem, 6 weeks is really fast! It sounds like you're doing a great job so far though and have definitely done your homework! I'm sorry you didn't get a good chance for ice breakers they really...

  20. Seeking Advice - Effective Communications Prerequisite

    krrbrr replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just completed my speech class and will probably have a different experience than most in this thread. My teacher was UNBELIEVABLY good! He went out of his way on a daily, or more like every 15...

  21. Bye bye pre nursing

    krrbrr replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Grats!!!!!

  22. Best & quick CNA program for Spring in Seattle

    krrbrr replied to aheadofthegame's topic in Washington Nursing

    I used Blossom CNA in Kent, WA :) they have classes going on constantly and their program is only a few weeks long. It was quite intense the amount you learn in the short amount of time, but it's also...

  23. Intro to Chemistry Help

    krrbrr posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the pre-req's I need to take for nursing school is Intro to Chemistry. I'm definitely not doing "bad" in the class by any means, but I've noticed a trend with the tests that we've taken so far...
