  1. single mom about to start BSN

    andrea3434 replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    My youngest is 2, she goes to daycare full time when I'm in school. She goes even on my one day off so that I can study. That way I am fully present when I pick her up and able to spend quality...

  2. single mom about to start BSN

    andrea3434 replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    I cannot speak for everyone but I actually am doing better in nursing school than I did in prereqs. It's a different way of thinking, not "black and white" all of the time. This is a mind over...

  3. Anything I can do with nursing and history degrees?

    andrea3434 replied to Weirdo's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is interesting. I earned a BA in history in 2007 and am currently earning a BSN. I think I am the only one in my entire cohort who actually enjoyed the "history of nursing" portion in...

  4. single mom about to start BSN

    andrea3434 replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    They try to scare you at orientation for some reason. I finished my first semester in May and I was still able to be a parent (and also cook, clean, see other family/friends, grocery shop, exercise,...

  5. Low GPA looking for an ABSN program. Help!

    andrea3434 replied to rbk8926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a previous BA but had to take all the prereqs for nursing school. My school only counted the GPA of prereqs and their specific colleges GPA (so for me it was prereqs, only). I didn't do...

  6. Balancing school and life?

    andrea3434 replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but that is just ridiculous. I have a husband, three kids, parents, friends, etc and of course I still have time for them. Not as much time as before, but time nonetheless. If you study...

  7. Tell me I can do this

    andrea3434 replied to Nurse2bAlissa's topic in General Students

    Sorry I reread and see you haven't applied to nursing schools yet. I say give A&P a try and see how that goes. My school allowed us to apply with 1-2 prereqs still in

  8. Tell me I can do this

    andrea3434 replied to Nurse2bAlissa's topic in General Students

    I am also 35 and have three kids of similar ages. I don't work outside the home at all though. Anything is doable if you are very organized and focused. I have a very hard time focusing on studying...

  9. How to handle Nursing school.

    andrea3434 replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I've never had to read more than 100 pages or so for a particular subject on a particular week. And that being said I didn't usually read all of those every time. It's more important to be able to...

  10. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    andrea3434 replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not necessarily true. At my school we are allowed to apply with certain prerequisites in progress. If we were accepted it was on the condition we passed the current prereqs and our GPA didn't...

  11. Failing Pharmacology

    andrea3434 replied to 2bRNatasha85's topic in General Students

    Hopefully OP passed pharm by

  12. Dropping out of nursing school

    andrea3434 replied to varonte69's topic in General Students

    If you don't have childcare I don't see how there is any way you can do nursing school. I have three children, two are in school full-time but one is 2. She goes to daycare. My husband runs a...

  13. Pre nursing pre req

    andrea3434 replied to Malcolm225's topic in General Students

    Not normal, that's insane. A BSN takes 4 years (in theory). For example at my school it is 3 semesters prereqs, 5 semesters in the nursing

  14. Post-Orientation Doubts

    andrea3434 replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    I also have 3 kids and a husband who runs his own business... Orientation scared me too, as did talking to previous students. However I had no issues first semester. Make sure you make the most of...

  15. I need a mentor

    andrea3434 replied to Ginger702's topic in General Students

    Is this a for profit school? It might be time to stop throwing money at this. You didn't mention if you've asked your instructors to go over your old tests with

  16. I need a mentor

    andrea3434 replied to Ginger702's topic in General Students

    First of all, you say you keep failing classes. How many classes have you failed? How many does your program allow you to fail? My program only allows us to fail one class and it cannot be in the...

  17. Juggling

    andrea3434 replied to imp3rfect_beauty's topic in General Students

    Hi! I get your fears a little bit. Only a little because I have three children but I do not work. You need to find back up childcare. Find babysitter who is willing to take care of your kids if...

  18. Studying in the Nursing Program?

    andrea3434 replied to humblenurs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'n starting pharm in August as well. I'm trying to study this summer, we also have med-surg which in our program in notoriously one of the hardest classes. 15 chapters for one exam is crazy though!...

  19. Studying in the Nursing Program?

    andrea3434 replied to humblenurs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have only completed one semester of nursing school so take this with a grain of salt- I did not have to study as much to get A/Bs as I did with A&P, chemistry, etc. I had to study differently....

  20. Quizzed in Clinical

    andrea3434 replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    Add me to the "meds" answer. We didn't really get quizzed first semester in clinical much but my instructor definitely asked a lot of med

  21. HESI exam for RN program in MN

    andrea3434 replied to Rlmatsch2's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I thought the test was pretty easy but some students didn't pass certain portions. In the study guide math portion I was very concerned about doing long division with decimals and such but it turns...

  22. HESI exam for RN program in MN

    andrea3434 replied to Rlmatsch2's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I got a 94 on the HESI. We only had to take A&P, math, vocabulary, reading comprehension and a fifth one that is escaping me at the moment. All the portions in the study guide were fine except...

  23. HESI exam for RN program in MN

    andrea3434 replied to Rlmatsch2's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Hi! I took the HESI last spring for a BSN program in MN. I have never taken the TEAS but I have classmates who did. They said the TEAS was much easier. advice on the HESI- the study guide is good...

  24. Being a pre-med is so overated

    andrea3434 replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    i don't know about OP but I like browsing SDN when I'm really, REALLY bored

  25. Difficulty of nursing school?

    andrea3434 replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    I think this is pretty common. I did got a C/B in A&P 1 and 2 and a C+ in Organic Chem but I received 3 As and 2 Bs my first semester of nursing school. I am a lot better at the tests now...
