  1. Anyone Have Professors That Do This?

    missninaRN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say something about it. Less than 48 hours is not sufficient notice for 500 words. If you didn't have any responsibilities other than this class, it might be do-able. But almost everybody has...

  2. Preparing

    missninaRN replied to lawc2315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clif's Review has a good algebra review book, so does Princeton Review (Math Smart and Math Smart II). Since I haven't had a math class in over 20 years, I bought all of them and have been doing a...

  3. My First Night Shift

    missninaRN replied to NurseNicoleRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do you go back to a normal sleep schedule on the days that you don't work? Is it hard to adjust back and forth between days on and off? I have SAD-seasonal...

  4. School Cost

    missninaRN replied to lawc2315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school's website lists the cost of tuition, fees, and books at around $9000. That is for an ADN and does not include optional room and

  5. Does everyone seem negative?

    missninaRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heartily agree! I cannot believe the rumors being spread about the NS at my college. Most of the people who start them are completely misinformed. I actually sat down with a nursing advisor last...

  6. Studying????

    missninaRN replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an "A" average so far in sociology, based on 4 quizzes. Turned in my first paper for psych today and have an exam on Monday, so I'll know in a few days how well it's going. My daughter took...

  7. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    missninaRN replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to admit that my "gung ho" attitude towards nursing was dampened slightly after I read some of the posts in the "first year in nursing" forum. If I were to base my expectations of my initiation...

  8. How are you "paying" for school???

    missninaRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I filed my FAFSA really late this year, since I didn't decide to go to school til about three weeks ago. Still haven't heard back on how much I will get. So I am paying for this semester myself. I...

  9. Planning ahead and thinking outloud for a minute

    missninaRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm having the same internal dialog with myself. My gut tells me that it's better to get them all done as quickly as possible, just in case I do get into nursing school. If I don't get in? I'll just...

  10. Am I crazy? Or do we all do this?

    missninaRN replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're crazy, I am too! I have scheduled my school and study times, written out a two week menu plan (which we will rotate through all semester), printed out master shopping lists for each week,...

  11. Blah - bad sociology class

    missninaRN replied to nursestudentin05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not too thrilled with my sociology class, either. The textbook isn't too bad a read, but the teacher just stands up there and talks, repeating himself a lot, and restating things in different...

  12. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    missninaRN replied to happydz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college bookstore would not let me look at the books unless I was buying them. The lady was quite rude about it. Said it was because it made all the other people in line behind me have to wait...

  13. First day inside a classroom in 22 years!!!

    missninaRN replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be returning to the classroom tomorrow after a 23 year "hiatus". I was feeling fairly confident of my ability to learn until I developed a kidney infection this weekend. I tried to read the...

  14. How many credit hours are you taking fall semester?

    missninaRN replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking 1o hours. Psychology (3), Sociology (3), and Biology (4). This is my very first semester of prereqs, and I haven't been in school for 23

  15. Roll Call Fall '05, Pre-nursing for RN program

    missninaRN replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start classes August 22 and will be attending Northern Oklahoma College. I just decided to start school a week ago, but still got the classes I needed for my first semester. This semester I'm taking...

  18. Note taking and organizing tips?

    missninaRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since it has been a very long time since I have been in school, I was wondering if any of you pros might tell me how you organize your notes, handouts, etc? Do you use binders? Spiral bound notebooks...

  21. How old is too old?

    missninaRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 42 years old and have been out of school for over 22 years. I have spent those years working to put my dh through seminary, raise 2 kids, and get them through college. I am just now at a point in...

  24. How old is too old?

    missninaRN replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got back from registering at the college. They gave me a math test. I'll have to take a lower level algebra course, but it will count as my math requirement, and I'll re-learn something that I...

  25. How old is too old?

    missninaRN replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too! I guess my greatest concern is that it will take me forever to complete the training. My only previous college experience was so long ago, and since I was a music major back then, I doubt if I...
