Ok you've thrown your pity party, now have you figured out why you failed? The instructor didn't just randomly assign you a failing grade and everyone else a passing grade. Only you know the answer to what you did or didn't do that led to a less than...

OP if you want to get a feel for it why get certified and work for a while as a doula

If you really are out of options a credit card may be the only way, capital one (from what I have heard) will give one to almost anyone, though the interest rate is outrageous, you'd just have to do your best to pay it off as quick as possible.

Agreed with Airport. Not sure why everyone is patting RnCashy89 on the back when the first line of his/her comment blatantly reinforces the stigma behind self harm. I get that it did become a fad and there are people who do it for attention but to de...

I think taking Micro before A/P would be helpful and the more recent your HS Bio class was taken the easier it may be. The deciding factor in my opinion is always going to be your choices as a student and your level of commitment. The amount of time ...

I created one through wordpress a couple weeks ago but today is the first time I felt I have found something to post. I am doing pre-reqs and hope to apply next Fall and would love to blog the whole way through.

You mentioned you are in CA, if you are applying to schools out here be sure to check the program's requirements because I have seen a lot of schools that will not accept re-take grades/only look at the first time you took the class OR you lose point...

Do you have fertility issues? It is incredibly difficult to not be jealous and feel negative towards those who get pregnant easily and repeatedly bring children into a bad life situation, immediately after feeling this the women then feels guilty ...

I don't really have any great advice, I just wanted to say I do understand your pain and suffering. I had an ectopic pregnancy, extremely traumatic *hugs* especially after all you've been through. I have participated in a couple forum's for those TTC...

I felt the same way, instead of focusing on what other people are doing focus on what you are doing. Focus on what is in your control (attending class, completing assignments, studying for tests, taking good care of yourself so you are a your best fo...

If you don't mind me asking, which CSU did you attend? What kind of work did you do with pregnant women? I'd really love to minor or get a certificate in psych or sociology, I'm a big nerd I wanna work with pregnant sexual assault survivor's. I do b...

Don't be sorry! You have to let it out, this is a good place to do it. What works best for me is to just allow myself to feel whatever it is I want to feel, express it out loud or in some physical way, then pick myself up and keep trying. Today I am ...

Do you have an end goal in mind for the type of nursing you want to do? I want to be a midwife and I need a MSN so I have to get my BSN. Knowing at least a general picture of what you want to do later will help you decide what is best to do right now...

I am still at the very beginning of my journey towards becoming a CNM. I would love any advice that people have learned on their journey (literally any words of wisdom) but also some specific advice regarding my situation. I want to volunteer at a bi...

It will be worth it when you get your acceptance letter. When you graduate. When you pass the NCLEX. When you land a job. Every single time you pass a milestone on this journey you will feel proud, accomplished and victorious. Hell when this semester...

I'm still a year away from applying to nursing school but I am printing this out and putting it in a file I've started for (hopefully!) when I start nursing school. Esme, I've read several of your responses in different areas on the site and I just h...

Like the previous commenter mentioned, what is their accreditation? What is their NCLEX pass rate? These are the first two things you look at when deciding which schools to even consider applying to.

Without having read the other comments I strongly recommend not taking the math class. Check out khanacademy.org I was placed into basic math and have avoided taking my math classes because I hate it. I started using khan academy about three weeks ag...

Have you discussed this with any classmates to see if they are having the same struggle? Why don't you just talk with the professor? They have office hours for this reason, just be prepared to specifically name your concerns and ask for help without ...

So this is a normal thing? Are any of you students at a CA university? I'm really glad I ran across this thread..

I'm 26 and have been out on my own since I was 18 with almost zero interaction with any family. The only support I get is from my boyfriend of 5 years. I'm actually afraid to tell anyone in my family that I'm trying to go to nursing school. I know th...

Yesterday I attended the info session at CSU Channel Islands (I will be applying to 9 school's, this is my first choice) and was told that even if you only take one class at a community college in their residency area you can get the 4 points. With t...

I honestly don't even care that it would be inconvenient, I really just wanted validation that I'm not crazy for wanting to do this, haha. Thanks for reminding me of online classes! I didn't even think about that, that would absolutely be more conven...
