  1. Any Ideas

    I did a research paper on males in the nursing profession, the kind of issues they face and how they are similar and also unique to what women face when they enter a male dominated field. Actually,...
  2. Kadi, you need to sit down with a guidance counselor and discuss. The nursing program, like any degree, has specific classes you need to take. Also, for nursing, you can not sign up for the nursing...
  3. It's actually not that hard to get them down if you just remember what is the smallest building block and move your way up. Each level combines to make the next level. Chemicals combine to make...
  4. NLN examination.

    I've never heard of NLN. We have to take HESI to get into the nursing program. I am beginning to think all the pre-enterance exams are pretty similar though in their content. I think HESI is the...
  5. Any of you have a bad past?

    I can't believe how many of us are in the same boat. I've been mentally beating myself up for how poorly I did in college in the 91/92 school year. I went right to college after I graduated, and I...
  6. Any of you have a bad past?

    Are you in the same college as before? If not, the simplest thing to do is not transfer your credits. In my program, the qualifying gpa for the program is figured from only the classes that are put...
  7. Social Loafing. People have a tendency to socially loaf when they are put in groups, in which the outcome is not solely dependant on their performance. When there is a group and nobody but you is...
  8. How are you "paying" for school???

    Mostly I pay out of our pocket. My husband's pocket that is. LOL! We also took out a credit card, to pick up what we can't afford. I am applying for p/t jobs at local hospitals in hopes of getting...
  9. By the time I start school in '06 (if that even happens), my son will be a month away from 4, so he will be able to relay any bad stuff to me. I am also nervous about the individual situation. The...
  10. My biggest worry about nursing school, is what to do with my kids during the day. It's been worrying me for awhile. I am putting in my application this October for the Fall '06 year. I will have a...
  11. anyone here a CNA?

    I haven't started working yet. I am applying to various places. I am applying to the hospitals first and if they don't respond, then I will try nursing homes. CNA's in my area start at about $9-$10...
  12. Already feeling dejected after just one week!

    LOL! Me too!! I've already thrown my Nursing school admitance test study book across the room, along with my psych book. That was my pity party to hubby over feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes I...
  13. ADN opens in my town, woo hoo!

    That's so wonderful, and much more convenient for you! I hope you get into their first
  14. Already feeling dejected after just one week!

    I can't handle more than 10 credits at a time and I am home all day. You are working full time AND going to school 4 nights a week, plus kids. That is a HEAVY load. It is hard, especially the first...
  15. Q for those married with kids...

    I agree with someone who said to plan school around kids. The thing to consider is how far apart do you want your children spaced. Nursing school takes 2 years, not including pre-reqs and gen ed....
  16. Gawd Help!

    Average age just means that is the age for the average person entering the program. That doesn't mean you have to wait until 24. As for getting into the programs. You won't get "rejected" unless you...
  17. :chuckle I did that when I was going through medical terminology. Ulna, radius, carpals,
  18. Feel like such a Failure

    For my Biology class- the only science I have taken so far- the teacher gave us lecture notes. Kind of an overview of the subjects he was going to cover. Then I would take notes during the lecture....
  19. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    We are able to look our books up online, but the bookstore does not put the ISBN online either. I usually search the title on Amazon, and that gives me the ISBN
  20. Aspiring career as an RN Need Advice

    I agree with the others who said to take the science classes. Also make sure you are taking more than basic math. If you are already planning on going to college, you have probably already taken...
  21. Blah - bad sociology class

    Good idea on dropping. If you are able to drop it, then you should. If a teacher is already loading the class with work and then informs them that getting an A is near impossible- that is a huge...
  22. For those that have already had Chemistry

    I get to skip chemistry, if I get accepted into the nursing program this year (long story). But, we had some algebraic equations in Biology and I had already brushed up with an algebra tutorial, so...
  23. Chemistry.... I have no clue

    I remember Chem from high school. It was all algebra based. I recommended some math sites to someone in another thread, for brushing up on algebra. You might want to pick up an algebra tutorial...
  24. help with entrance exam

    Which books did you buy to study for the nursing exam? I have to take the HESI in a month and I have found mixed reviews on the study
  25. help with entrance exam

    I had to brush up on my algebra also. I bought a book called "Algebra for the Clueless". I also found some tutoring sites on the net by searching google. You can look for practice problems. It...
