    Nancy Clue! She's actually a friend who started a blog for an entirely different reason. But, she's a little over a year away from graduation for her BSN. She's pretty awesome.

  3. Need help figuring out where to start! Alternatives to ABSN?

    sjg8412 replied to Babs41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My fault. I totally didn't look at the link. Whoops.

  4. Pre-nursing job options?

    sjg8412 replied to olagaton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just about to suggest the same. I have a 20 hr/week work study job that I love. I volunteer at the hospital on women's care as a part of my work study hours. So I'm still getting a little bit of...

  5. Plans for Spring?

    sjg8412 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahh I'm so jealous! Anyway, for spring, I'll be taking: Micro Math And 3 intro nursing classes. My school is weird for the BSN program... they have 3 nursing classes that are part of the program that...

  6. Is it wrong to bring a patient coffee?

    sjg8412 replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would double check with the nurses. I don't see a problem with it though! I pass snacks/ice/coffee with the CNA's at the hospital I volunteer

  7. Need help figuring out where to start! Alternatives to ABSN?

    sjg8412 replied to Babs41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I'm understanding you right, you were wanting to do what's called a bridge program with a non-nursing degree. Bridge programs are for RN's with an associates degree who are going for their...

  8. Retaking Anatomy 1?

    sjg8412 replied to SMS1130's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't bother depending on how competitive your school is. A B is a good grade! Just to be sure you should meet with a program director and take a look at their entrance criteria. My school has a...

  9. Retained info.

    sjg8412 replied to lovingthem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mother in law has told me that throughout her nursing career, she's had to know the big things. For example, anything with the heart and circulation, organs and their major parts, etc. I believe...

  10. Studen Loans Question!

    sjg8412 replied to sharonanderson24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken out loans for my prerequisites. I don't have very much that I had to take out though. My school is a direct lender and I take out the stafford loans through them. After I had my son, I...

  11. Taking 20 credits next semester.

    sjg8412 replied to bucolicdulcet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you have to have 18 credits for the next two semesters? If you can break that up with some electives or university requirements, I would. That sounds miserable to take on 20

  12. What would you do?

    sjg8412 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say it depends heavily on your school. I know where I'm at, withdrawing at this point in the semester looks pretty bad, and even costs money. Personally I'd finish the course. Just keep busting...

  13. Failed. :(

    sjg8412 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my HESI A2 for entrance into my school's ADN program and was knocked out of eligibility. I failed the math portion and was 6 points away from the cutoff. I am still really mad at myself. I know...

    I'm not in nursing courses yet, however, everyone tells me that time management and exams are theeee

    sjg8412 replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am! I work on Women's Care. I get to float around from labor, postpartum, and nursery. I've done everything from making posters, to stocking cribs, to helping clean rooms. :) It's been awesome. I...

    sjg8412 replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, as far as getting through it with your mom life, GET HELP, GIRL! I'm in a program at my school families/single mothers. I did have to sign up for state assistance, but the thing is that it's...

  21. A&P - Bones, Time... Need some Encouragement!

    sjg8412 replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The most helpful thing for me in Anatomy was to copy the pictures and label them incessantly with sticky note flags. Label label label, then check your work. If your school has SmartBoards anywhere on...

    sjg8412 replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I saw you! Do you want to meet up on campus? And are you sure you wouldn't rather me pay you for it?

  23. Failed. :(

    sjg8412 replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much to everyone for all your ideas. I'm thinking I'll go ahead with applying to both programs. Either way, I'll still have a semester of more nursing-related prerequisites. And if they...

    Is it bad that we only went over the syllabus yesterday and I already want to cry? Advice/tips,

  25. Why did you choose Nursing as your career? Tell me your story. Here is my story

    sjg8412 replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually had no original intention on entering the medical field. I contemplated law, journalism, and forensics when I was a freshman. However, at the end of my first semester, I found out I was...
