  1. It just isn't fair

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to school full time until I got my AA in Psych. Then I had my son. When he was a almost 2 years old, I went back to school to finish my 4 science courses (A&P 1&2, Chem, and Micro), but...

  2. preparing myself

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to goingtobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A little bit of preparation can never hurt. I'm styarting the nursing program in the fall, and I've been reading my textbooks to get a head start. Good luck to

  3. I didn't get in

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to meb1118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be a nurse one day. Don't give

  4. Chem and Anatomy together?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took chem with a&p 1 and then micro with a&p 2. It really isn't too hard. There were difficult times, but it was better than I had expected. I don't work, but I am a SAHM of a 2 y/o. But if...

  5. Taking the NET on Wednesday!

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it's time.... I have to take the NET. I am so nervous! I know it's basically grammar and algebra, but my nerves are getting the better of me. Any tips on getting through this? Thanks in advance...

  6. Incredibly frustrated

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Part of the nursing program requirements is that we get a fingerprint clearance card. So, I'm supposed to start nursing school on Aug. 17, but I have to have ALL my paperwork in by Aug. 10. I mailed...

  7. Abandoning babies at Hospitals LEGAL?!?!

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    This month's Glamour had an article kind of about this, about a young woman who was abandoned on the street as a baby. But it did also say about 750 babies were to safe havens last year, and sightly...

  8. Hep B vaccine ??

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Concerned nj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's very strongly recommended at my school, so I'm getting it. I understand the possible risk of transmission. I don't want the disease. I'd say, protect yourself, even if your school does not...

  9. Post Spring 2006 semester grades here!

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an A in both Micro and A&P II. Yay! And, I did pass Math for Meds with a 100%! I'm feeling really good

  10. CLASS OF 2008, check in!

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Dublin37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Name: Joy School: Arizona Western...

  11. waitlists..

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think every Phoenix-area college has a waitlist. The school I'm attending is about 3 hours away, but if you have most of your classes done, a good GPA, and a good NET score, you will most likely get...

  12. What is the best way to learn Spanish?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to tfm2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try a different Spanish class. They can be really helpful. I've also heard of programs (usually 1-2 weeks long) that are like a "camp" for adults. You are totally immersed in the language. My aunt had...

  13. Are people treating you like a nurse and asking you nursing questions?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to Faeriewand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had that happen, and it can get annoying. Just smile sweetly and say that once you're done with nursing school, then maybe you'll be able to answer it. If they get snarky, just tell them firmly...

  14. What's generally needed to get into nursing programs?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to faith4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no GPA requirement at my school, but the pre-reqs are A&P I, Chem, English 101 and qualified to take College Algebra. Howver, admission is half based on your GPA, a quarter on your NET...

  15. Is this real? The Natl Scholars Honor Society

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to nursinginga's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got something like that, but I threw it away because my GPA isn't perfect and it just seemed like a scam. Maybe you could google it or something and see what you come up with. If it's real,...

  16. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My teacher knew I was anxious to get my test grade for tonight, so he put the scantrons through the scanner before I left. I ended up getting a 96% for the urinary and the reproductive systems, so I'm...

  17. What would YOU do?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to wannabe07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the accreditation is in question, I would not attend their nursing school because you never know what will happen. As for the physio lecture, you may just have to do it if that is the only other...

  18. Awesome web site to check your prof's out

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to RRTtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love that site. Most of the comments I have read about my teachers are right on. There are a few ones out for revenge, but you can usually tell who they are. I wouldn't solely take or not take a...

  19. Am I too old?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to hgmama610's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definately not too old. There are women twice your age going into nursing! Just get what you can done and keep practicing the reading portion of the NET. It may take some time, but you can do...

  20. Pre-nursing self study?? Would this help me?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may also want to make sure that none of these classes "expire." You are stretching it out over quite a long

  23. OMG I feel terrible

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to saskenn0910's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definately take A&PI first. It is the foundation for A&PII. Good

  24. GPA of avg. nursing applicant?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to faith4life's topic in Texas Nursing

    At my college, the breakdown is the GPA of your pre-reqs, GPA of your co-reqs, NET score, and amount of co-reqs already completed. Each has a 25% weight, so GPA isn't

  25. How Did you Know?

    Nurse-To-Be-Joy replied to natron20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was born with a cleft palate (but not lip, thankfully) so I have been in and out of hospitals my whole life. It was the nurses who took care of me and comforted my mom. Then, my mom was diagnosed...
