  1. Is a community college education a bad one?

    SeekingNur replied to Kay28's topic in General Nursing

    There are entirely too many factors to weigh when deciding which is better, you can't just make a generalization that one system is better than the other. In many areas the same teachers teach the...

  2. Spoke w/nursing director today

    SeekingNur replied to sgrho99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a possibility that you could look into your local universities and see if you could get into a BSN program? If you already have a degree and the pre-reqs for the ADN program, you may not need...

    SeekingNur replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Any TWU Spring 2006 applicants??

    SeekingNur replied to lvnmommyto2greatboys's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow. That sucks. It is kind of discouraging. I have the GPA, but I still have many classes to go. I could earn 2 more Bs and still have above a 3.8 (and I'll likely need one of them for statistics,...

  6. Any TWU Spring 2006 applicants??

    SeekingNur replied to lvnmommyto2greatboys's topic in Texas Nursing

    How long ago was that? I just don't get this. I keep hearing that it is so impossible to get in and even people with 4.0s are rejected etc. etc. I know it's competitive, but is it *really* that bad?...

  7. Competitiveness Grades etc

    SeekingNur posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know, it's on almost everyone's mind. We want to learn, we want to learn well, but we also need those GRADES. How competitive are nursing schools in your area? Do you obsess over your GPA? I've...

  10. Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    SeekingNur replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I miscarried my first pregnancy, I had a midwife take care of me then. I went on to deliver two children at home with midwives and I am now 30 weeks pregnant with #3 and planning a homebirth. I...

    May I ask, why you feel so strongly against working as a nurse in

  12. "Natural" birth

    SeekingNur replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think of natural birth as being med free and few interventions. I wonder if these so-called "control freaks" have a hard time relaxing because they feel that their autonomy is threatened. I have...

  13. Future CNMs

    SeekingNur replied to ayndim's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Got to page 7 and was so excited I just had to post. I've wanted to be a midwife for almost a decade now. I'm 28. I'm pretty radical in my birthing philosophy and pretty crunchy in general ;0). I...

  14. A&P I: The Summer '05 Anatomy and Physiology Club

    SeekingNur replied to Peachy720's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like your teacher is a little drunk with power. Bless you honey, you are working so hard and I think you will do just fine. I'd KILL for some extra credit opportunities. My teacher made it...

  15. A&P I: The Summer '05 Anatomy and Physiology Club

    SeekingNur replied to Peachy720's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope that you pass, but even if you do decide to take the class again you will bring to it all that you have learned this semester, which is probably much more than you give yourself credit for....

  16. University of Texas-Houston Competitiveness

    SeekingNur posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Greetings all, I'm just now taking pre-reqs after very recently deciding that I wanted to be a nurse. I am very, very interested in attending UofT Houston's BSN program. I have not been able to find...

    SeekingNur replied to SeekingNur's topic in Texas Nursing

    Of the friends that I have known who applied to and were successfully accepted in medical schools in different parts of the country, none had ever worked or volunteered in a medical setting. I guess...

  18. University of Texas-Houston Competitiveness

    SeekingNur replied to SeekingNur's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not sure why it should be of concern. Most medical students have never stepped foot inside a hospital before they begin the academic portion of their training either, most lawyers have never served on...
