    Getting into a nursing program? Please Help!

    NurseGirl525 replied to maimounabah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have a 4.0 and you think you are a terrible test taker? I wouldn't think so. Yeah, you have defeated yourself with that attitude. I have an 8 year old who competes in judo and when he thinks he...

    Waiting to get back into RN program

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An example of a coreq is like my Advanced Physiology class. You have to have so many science credits before graduating. I finished A&P I and II and micro before the program. Those are my...

    Anatomy and Physiology 2 Struggling

    NurseGirl525 replied to Bodybuilder1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having been through both, I would sit down and talk to your current instructor. A lot of rumors go around about how tough one teacher is over the other but they all have to teach the same material...

    Waiting to get back into RN program

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    11 classes?? That's a lot. Plus I thought a prereq was something that had to be done before the program. Coreqs are what you take while in the program. I would try and finish all of your coreqs...

    High School Classes That I Should Take

    NurseGirl525 replied to sone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would see if you could do dual classes next year. Spend half of your day at your high school and the other half at a community college working on your credits. Also I would see if your AP classes...

    Do I have a shot at nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to eanaj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school. You will need to talk to the admissions officer for the schools you are looking at. Some will look at your cummulative GPA, others will look at a few classes. A science...

    My mom won't let me be a nurse. How do I convince her?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Amanda97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with LadyFree my 30s have been so much better than my 20s!!! In your 20s you know nothing and are just experiencing life as an adult. In your 30s, all of the petty drama and crap is out of...

    Dear Lord, give me the strength to deal with yet another GROUP PROJECT

    NurseGirl525 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I detest group projects. I get they are trying to teach us how to deal with coworkers, but I can do that. I have had enough work experience to know how to deal with people. I would rather work...

    Living independently while in Nursing school, is it possible?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lena M's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is definitely doable. I am a single mom and go to school full time and will be in nursing school in the fall. Although I don't have to get a job right now, my son travels for judo almost...

    Sitting down in patient rooms.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this is great!! In the year 2009, I spent a lot of time in the hospital. Probably 6 out of the 12 months. I have epilepsy and it was at it's worst that year. I had a horrible seizure in...

    Why do some choose to pursue BSN over ASN first?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it all depends. If I was fresh out of high school, I would be going for my BSN or MSN. But the fact that I am 38 and newly divorced complicates things. I wish we had an 18 month program...

    Try to get a better understanding of WGU

    NurseGirl525 replied to CARAMELO's topic in Western Governors University

    It depends. You pay a certain amount for each semester, I think here in Indiana it is a little more than $3000, then you complete as many courses as you can. It all depends on the amount of time you...

    irregular sleep and seizures

    NurseGirl525 replied to maryray's topic in General Nursing

    I have epilepsy and lack of sleep will trigger it, but I don't know that it will a cause a single seizure like that. I used to be sleep deprived all the time when I was younger and never had a...

    studytime

    NurseGirl525 replied to tebrown's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think that is a lot to study 1 subject in one day. I try to make sure I understand the concepts before leaving class. I ask plenty of questions during class and then review it a couple of times a...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to a Tech college. It has the one of the best nursing programs in the area. The only one that is better is the private, christian college in the area. Most of my credits transfer to a 4 year...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Amanda97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my view. You need to live your life for you!!! I will say this though, do not let the fact that these other careers take longer detract you. If your dream was to be a pediatrician then be...

    My son just turned 8, and there are times I feel guilty for not playing with him or spending more time with him. While he is older than your child and can understand mommy has schoolwork, he still...

    Nursing tougher for guys than girls

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Men in Nursing

    I honestly don't think it has anything to do with gender, I think it has to do with everyone being so competitive no one likes to discuss a bad grade. I'm female and I don't like to admit to anyone...
