  1. Seminole State vs. Stetson University

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to jleigh812's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can answer that question for you. Counseling and nursing are completely different career paths and each will have its pros and cons. I would suggest researching the fields, shadowing...

  2. Social Skills in Nursing: The Art of Validation

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Social skills = YES. Great article and many true points. However, I feel like this discussion implies that there are only two types of people: those who do not care much for interacting with those...

  3. Finished Nursing School totally sane

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to nursewr's topic in General Students

    I really wish I heard more stories about folks getting through with their sanity intact. I start January 12 and find myself completely intimidated despite very successfully balancing a full time job...

  4. Oregon's CC Nursing Programs

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to schicharro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are applying to community college ADN Programs in Oregon, it is all about the points. If you apply to BSN programs, they look at whole student. Figure out how many points you have for the...

  5. Easy Stats class

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to sunny3429's topic in Online Distance Learning

  8. To stay or to go

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to FutureRNCA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can still consider online classes because most schools will allow you to proctor your exams for those that require you to take them in person. Usually proctoring takes place at a college, school,...

  9. About Microbiology

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to reecemay10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found micro to be easier and much more interesting than A&P. The concepts are not difficult. There is just a lot to know. Study a little bit every day. Get the objectives from your instructor...

  10. What sort of nurse do you want to be?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Miss-kate's topic in General Nursing

  11. How do prerequisites work?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can enter a 4-year nursing program directly out of high school. You have to apply directly to the university and the school of nursing just like you would any other college. You will spend your...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Students

  16. Microbiology

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to mmrox92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...Are you serious? What on earth makes you think that you are entitled to a grade you did not earn? Get over yourself, grow up, quit complaining, and work harder. The grade you EARN is the grade...

  17. Feel excluded from classmates

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to lampard's topic in General Students

    I do not understand why you would even bother continuing to befriend a group of people you don't fit in with. I cannot imagine that you actually like them if they make no attempts to include you in...

  20. What kind of car would you want?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I just got the Fiat 500e (all electric) and I love it! I have never been a fancy car person, therefore the cars of my "dreams" (Bugs, MINIs, Fiats) have always been attainable. The cuter, the...

  21. Have you noticed...

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to joe_mulligan88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Struggling to Juggle Nursing Pre-Reqs, Work, and Motherhood.... HELP!

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Dani2389's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your instructor has provided chapter objectives (and most do - especially if you ask), focus your studying on those objectives. If your instructor has not provided chapter objectives, study based...

  23. Opinions

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it is reasonable for them to expect you work ahead of schedule. A due date for homework is just that - the date that it is due. You need to ensure you give yourself enough time to complete and...
