    Nursing school decision

    emmjayy replied to Leslieg_78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a single mom currently in nursing school. I quit my job for it after saving up for a year or so and will be taking out private loans to cover my living expenses once my savings dry up....

    ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    emmjayy replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I looked into ITT once to see if I could get some kind of official paralegal certification. They wanted to charge me $40k to get a "degree" related to information I probably knew already. That was the...

    Lbs to Kg conversion help!

    emmjayy replied to Squidney's topic in General Students

    Haha I meant to say more but got distracted! Just wanted to let you know I ran the calculation and got the same answer you did and was going to hypothesize that the internet used a more precise...

    Dating while in nursing school?

    emmjayy replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    This is down to personal preference. Personally, I would never date someone who was obese or overweight because it's unattractive to me. Period. On the flip side of that coin though is the fact that I...

    Medical termonilogy quiz and test

    emmjayy replied to Lessh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program threw some root word stuff into our curriculum and it's really just straight memorization. It does help me to physically touch or visualize the body part associated with the root word I'm...

    Dating while in nursing school?

    emmjayy replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I dunno, if I was being pursued by a guy who's as volatile as OP comes off, I'd be afraid to just reject him flat out. I've definitely had experiences where I've said no to a guy directly and been...

    What is nursing school like?

    emmjayy replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jeeeeeesus, calm down. Where did you get all these ideas? Holy crap. If you walk into nursing school with this extraordinarily large chip on your shoulder, you are guaranteed to have a really bad...

    Excluded from clinical group

    emmjayy replied to Bisquet's topic in General Students

    My school is full of cliques because it participates in a dual degree program with a local college - so it seems like 3/4 of the class are 19 and already know each other from the other school. I'm...

    It probably depends on what your conviction is. Do you mind

    This makes me disappointed!

    emmjayy replied to Nursein2017's topic in General Students

    Who cares. If you see her stealing, report it. Maybe she was joking? I honestly cannot fathom why you even care. Maybe it's because I'm in the middle of being slammed with crazy amounts of...

    Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

    emmjayy replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had the opposite experience from most posters, I took my classes through Portage Learning/Nursing ABC after checking with my school to be sure they accept those courses, and they were much cheaper...

    Bookbag for nursing school?

    emmjayy replied to abarreto's topic in General Students

    I haven't even thought about a book bag lol. I have my backpack from the last time I was in college, just a cheap Jansport outdoor backpack with wide shoulder straps and a heavy-duty bottom. Is it...

    Smart way to nursing program

    emmjayy replied to Bearbones88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This sounds exactly like what I'm doing. I have a previous degree, did some pre-reqs, got accepted to a 2 year RN program, and plan to finish up my BSN online once I have a job! I haven't completed...

    Nursing school - I don't know what to do next

    emmjayy replied to Living_True's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speak to an admissions counselor at the school(s) you want to attend. I got my Associate's in Humanities 6 years ago and when I decided I wanted to go back to school for nursing last year, the first...

    Portage learning

    emmjayy replied to shalom88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was no open book on module exams, but on the A&P courses I took the lab exams were open book (meaning, you could refer to your lab notes during

    What to expect the first semester of nursing school

    emmjayy replied to KWRN29's topic in General Students

    Once I get my schedule (later this week, hopefully), I'm going to start putting myself on the sleep schedule I'll need to be on to get up on time and get prepped before leaving. I think that will help...

    What to expect the first semester of nursing school

    emmjayy replied to KWRN29's topic in General Students

    I don't know about what to expect in terms of classes because I'm starting in two weeks as well, but I do know that I've started having terrifying nightmares about being a few minutes late to lab (I'm...

    Just got into nursing school!

    emmjayy replied to nursingstudent2318's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Mind explaining your reasoning for this? I read somewhere else that it's a good thing to study some basics of med-math (like... super basic.... e.g., refreshing your unit conversion skills) and...

    A Different Question For Y'all

    emmjayy posted a topic in General Students

    Any easy, make-ahead crock-pot recipes any of you swear by? I'm thinking that on my next grocery run I should get some stuff and take a day to prep/freeze some meal components so that on busy days I...

    emmjayy replied to taylorr13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just want to pop in and say that my program didn't give a crap about volunteer work at a hospital - they were all about grades. I volunteered for a few months on a once-a-week basis at a nursing home...
