  1. I have no confidence

    PNW0212 replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll get better once you start school. I remember hardly anything from A&P or micro. Almost done with my first year of nursing school. Just get good grades, apply to school, then once you get...

  6. Tips for the Teas Please!!

    PNW0212 replied to AmbitiousMink's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Did you read the study guide book pretty well and take the practice tests? That's what I did and got an 84. What hurt me is the time. I felt as though I didn't have enough time to really think about...

  7. Need help deciding what to do!

    PNW0212 replied to Cristian C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community colleges may save you money, you can go that route whether you decide to do an ADN or BSN at a university. If I were you I'd take prerequisites at a community college. Get as many A's as you...

  8. Too much to handle?

    PNW0212 replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got bulging eyes after reading that haha :-) I really suggest taking A&P1 separate, or at lease with an easier class such as life span. I'm not a mom and I wouldn't even think about taking...

  9. New school: nervous but excited

    PNW0212 replied to natmanzo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you had healthcare experience? Before you apply I suggest getting your CNA license and working as one somewhere, it's great experience! Good luck

  10. Dilemma with Pre req. for ABSN

    PNW0212 replied to FarhiyaM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any BSN program will require physiology with lab, but if you apply after you take the lab you might be ok. Call the nursing program about it and they will let you know if it's

    PNW0212 replied to Heidi_Tink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations on setting a goal! You are absolutely NOT too old, 29 is nothing! There are people who start nursing who may be well into their 50's or 60's. I am not a mother, but I'll give you the...

  13. IV/Osmosis

    PNW0212 replied to kvdyer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I've heard, there is a reason that the heart rate will always increase before decreasing in situations like that. If you need a detailed answer, look in a textbook, or my personal favorite,...

  14. Prerequisites for RN program at AVC

    PNW0212 replied to mrs.hayes's topic in School, College Programs

    PNW0212 replied to wantstobeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would see if you can take it a 3rd time....but look into why you are getting a D! Don't give up. Talk with an advisor about associate degree nursing programs (ADN) in your area. Those programs are...

  21. Is Nursing a good choice for me?

    PNW0212 replied to mctavish55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And as for being squeamish, you would get over it fast. I clean up copious amounts of stool....every day. But like I said, the job is truly helping someone. It's worth

  22. Is Nursing a good choice for me?

    PNW0212 replied to mctavish55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try shadowing a nurse in a hospital and see if you like it. I also recommend becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA) or private home caregiver. If you legitimately enjoy helping a person in need...

  25. Where is the Passion?

    PNW0212 replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nurses you're talking about may have gotten their degree with no passion for it. Ignore them. Their behavior should not affect YOUR
