    emmjayy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, all - I'm re-taking chemistry (doing a self-study) to prep for nursing school this fall (eeeek! Still so pumped to be able to say I'm actually GOING!!!) Anyway, I'm really having an issue with...

    emmjayy replied to Sarahlin's topic in General Students

    Get a lawyer, yesterday. A good attorney can plea bargain your charge down to something less serious that will not appear on your

    Nursing Student & Being A Father

    emmjayy replied to e_mac682's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm also a mother, but I can relate to your situation. I'm the sole provider for my child and just got accepted to nursing school. I decided that something was going to have to go from the situation,...

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    emmjayy replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a nurse, but I've worked a professional job for over 6 years now. When I started reading the OP and saw complaints about being unreasonably written up for being late, I honestly expected to...

    New and not sure where to start

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

    Yes, you should consult with the schools you wish to attend to determine what prerequisites you need. Take the time to go in and have a face to face meeting with an admissions counselor and bring in...

    Going back to school @ 26

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

    I was in almost your exact same shoes a year ago. I was 25, had an associate's degree, working full time as a paralegal, but was absolutely miserable. Nursing had always been something I'd wanted to...

    emmjayy replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    It's very interesting to see the perspectives on here about her case. Most of the comments sections on news articles are... less than informed. Okay, they're a complete cesspool. This entire thing is...

    Taking Anatomy and Chem at the same time.

    emmjayy replied to wghtsrgltng's topic in General Students

    I tried doing a self-review of chem while taking A&P online (but under a deadline) and it didn't work very well. I also work 40 hours per week and am a single parent. I ended up dropping the chem...

    What was your first time like?

    emmjayy replied to Sith Lady Oma's topic in General Students

    I first knew I wanted to be a nurse when I was a kid. I know this is so cliche! I had a lot of siblings and was always fascinated by how the nurses at the hospital got my mom through the trauma of...

    emmjayy replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in School, College Programs

    Really? That's weird, I've received a lot of help from members of this community over the past year or so while I was working to get accepted to nursing school - either in the form of helpful...

    Portage Learning Classes

    emmjayy replied to aeagan08's topic in School, College Programs

    I took my A&P's through Portage Learning and I thought it was a good program. I can't speak to micro or chem. I know A&P is a 6-module course with 8 labs, so if you're going to do it in 8...

    Nursing School Essay

    emmjayy replied to samnwill23's topic in General Students

    Take out the first five sentences. It will do you no good to lead off with negatives about your personality and history. Also, I would focus more on what you want to contribute to the profession/your...

    Le Moyne and St. Joseph Accelerated

    emmjayy replied to kemzyk's topic in School, College Programs

    They don't have an official one, I was looking the other day too. All there is is this unofficial one: St. Joseph's College of Nursing - Syracuse, New York - College & University | Facebook I...

    emmjayy replied to kemzyk's topic in School, College Programs

    So you got your letter about 5 months before your start date.... if they stick with that time table I should be keeping an eye out for a letter in the next couple of weeks for my late August start...

    emmjayy replied to emmjayy's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the RA Bock recommendation, I'm reading reviews now and it seems like a lot of other people share your opinion on it being pretty much as good as a Littmann. Way cheaper, too which is a...

    I have an Associate's Degree already in general studies and am doing ADN and bridging to BSN. That way, I can get my RN in 2 years, hopefully begin working, and I plan to complete my BSN online. To...

    Help please

    emmjayy replied to uniqui01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of that. I don't think there are any rules that preclude someone from doing both jobs at once but I imagine the work schedules would render it practically

    Help please

    emmjayy replied to uniqui01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't quite understand your question, are you asking if it's possible to work both jobs at once??? I will say that my mom maintained her RN license while also being a teacher for 30 years, but she...

    emmjayy replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    emmjayy replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If a student isn't fit to be a nurse, they'll get weeded out. I don't really see how or why anyone else's qualifications to be a nursing student are any of your
