  1. How is NS with having little kids?

    GaGeek replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in General Students

    Ditto what they said! I have two kids; 4 and 2.5. And my husband works on the railroad and is out of town a lot and has no schedule to speak of, so I can't rely on him to be around. So, like the guy...

  2. Failing Pharmacology

    GaGeek replied to 2bRNatasha85's topic in General Students

    I haven't actually started Nursing School yet, so I haven't had a "human" pharmacology course, but I did take Pharmacology in Vet Tech school. It was a lot of memorization. Here's what helped me:...

  3. I want to be a nurse but I am scared of blood!

    GaGeek replied to Renee982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know a guy in veterinary school who passed out the first time he ever shadowed at a veterinary clinic and watched a surgery. Look at him now! I also know plenty of people who are afraid of needles...

  4. Bioterrorism/Microbiology

    GaGeek replied to acedit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're definitely not crazy. I hope most of your classmates have enough common sense to recognize that she's gone off the deep end! I really cringe to think that she's molding the minds of future...

  5. Bioterrorism/Microbiology

    GaGeek replied to acedit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. I would react the same way! Definitely send that link on to the Dean. It's disturbing to think that an educator is passing that information on AND using a website for reference that looks like...

  6. Any other students who are mothers?

    GaGeek replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have two... a 2yo and a 3yo. Right now I'm working part time and taking 10 hours. I start my nursing program in January! I am a little bit nervous about time management at home; it's already...

  7. I need help...

    GaGeek replied to Whitwilke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, that's really rough. I'm so sorry that you've had to go through that. Also, do you have more than one school you could look at attending? Is the nursing program at the same school your...

  8. Where are you going to school?

    GaGeek replied to ant2cory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Mo. Kc. I'll be going to William Jewell in January. I went to NWMSU for my first Bach,

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

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

    Take a deep breath. You're doing well to put in so much effort. What's on your note cards? You don't have to answer that specifically. What helped me, especially for the skeletal system, was...

  10. Science ADVICE! Where to begin.....

    GaGeek replied to Neuro_Eck's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you're reading physiology books for fun, I don't think you're going to have any issue at all with these classes. Also, if you are taking these classes at a community college, none of them...

  11. Skull Help - AP 1

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

    I drew it! You don't have to be an artist. But taking the time to draw the skull with the sutures and fissures and foramen really helped me to remember what I was looking at. Our library has full...

  12. When do you usually finish your tests?

    GaGeek replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everybody tests differently. It's good that you know what works for you! Right now, I'm one of the first people out. That's with double checking, and I have the second highest grade in one class...

  13. Could Single Dad Get in...

    GaGeek replied to newsingleDad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN - Bachelor of Science in Nursing :-) I don't think you need to be as worried about the pre-req's as you think you are. Most people find that with age and maturity, a lot of these classes come a...

  14. nursing school bullying

    GaGeek replied to greatestsummerever's topic in General Students

    A few more years and you'll realize that people like this are everywhere. How do YOU feel about YOU? Don't worry so much about someone who's so wrapped up in other peoples business that he behaves...

  15. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    GaGeek replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's so complicated! And I don't fully understand how it works. I'm sorry you're so close but not quite there. That's too

  16. Anyone attended a Nursing Info Session???

    GaGeek replied to NeoNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to two as well. They also covered a lot of what I gathered from their website, but they touched on things that weren't online. Like how you could get noticed during the application process....

  17. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    GaGeek replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband has military experience, both active duty and now National Guard. I tried to convince him for years to use his GI Bill to go to school but he won't do it. So it's mine now ;-) I'm also...

  18. Is three times too many?

    GaGeek replied to vandydani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't try that one again without starting that organic chem! But as you said, you have a few other choices. I'd work on those in the meantime

  19. nursing (humans) vs animal jobs

    GaGeek replied to Nursing_Student'15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an RVT (registered veterinary technician) right now. And I'm working on changing fields to the human side. Here's my story. How I got to where I am now. I've worked at a veterinary clinic since...

  20. Can a new BSN grad w/research experience get a research nurse job?

    GaGeek replied to troop949's topic in Research

    I'm in the same position (different research experience... transgenic mice and mouse embryonic stem cell core facility work here). But I was wondering the same thing and I'm glad you asked! I hope...

  21. Staying in shape while going to school

    GaGeek replied to bcstsp_mg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but I am working and taking pre-requisites. I also have 2 toddlers and 2 dogs and 2 cats and a foster dog. And I'm married. LOL. I've just had to learn to be...

  22. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    GaGeek replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 32 with a 3 yo, a 2 yo, and a 33 yo. Making a career change from Veterinary Technician to human nursing. I've also had a few years experience in research. I'm interested to see what nursing in...

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

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

    Good luck to you too! And to everyone

  24. CNA experience?

    GaGeek replied to caprisiosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you were a CNA already, does that not count as experience? I know it's not current, but it makes me ask why the experience is important to them. For instance, do they just want to know that you...

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

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

    Love to hear the stories! I actually have never heard anyone say they wanted to get into it for the money, lol. And I'm surprised by that. Nursing is something I've thought about and looked into...
