  1. Has anyone taken College Algebra?

    BioChic replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took college algebra online last fall and got an A. I studied a fair amount, but I never would have gotten through without the Khan Academy YouTube channel! He has videos that break down pretty much...

  2. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    I had e-mailed Michael Clark (the professor) to see about getting into his summer course. He said to check the roster May 31st, as students who don't make payment deadlines are automatically dropped....

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    For the frugal: our PathoPhys books can be purchased on Amazon for about $5-$10 each with free

  4. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    Tlssag, I was struggling with the same decision! I asked a couple of the academic advisors for their recommendation when I went in for my "program plan" and they both felt strongly it's best to get...

  5. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm actually going for FT temp through August, then switching to PT. I'm really hoping to swing a 12 or two a week through school, but we will

  6. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    Got an invitation for an in-person interview at CMH! Hopefully it will go far more smoothly than the video interview - I was painfully awkward in

  7. I'm failing anatomy!

    BioChic replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I studied each system by constantly (at stop lights, in bed at night, and every moment in between) saying the name of the bone/organ/etc and touching the place on my body that it's located. I'd go...

  8. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    I've heard the hiring process can take months at CMH, but I'm holding out hope! I have a lot of friends who are nurses there, and the praises they sing are

  9. JCCC 2016 RN Program

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    I just had an interview with children's mercy and I'm waiting to hear back from St. Luke's as well. I figured I would at least *try* to work through school (you know, so that I can eat) :) I also am...

    I have some questions for you all: Are you working anywhere as a CNA (or other healthcare position) currently? Do you plan to work through the

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats, Padams4! And yea, that email situation sounds weird... But at least it was good news! You can submit by hand if you want, but the packet includes a return envelope for your acceptance form....

    GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TODAY!!!

  16. Need advice on getting my life together.

    BioChic replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Commuter as well. I spent 10 years after high school (which I left without graduating) bouncing around food & beverage jobs. I didn't think I was intelligent enough to pursue a...

  17. Should I leave this racist town?

    BioChic replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please check your FB "other" box.

  18. Community College nursing classes

    BioChic replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've found that this is true for most (if not all) CC RN programs. I took all of my pre-reqs over the course of a couple semesters (this could take a while if your school requires BIO before A&P,...

    BioChic replied to Brown2293's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi ladies! I had my interview on the 7th. I spent the entire week before my interview stressed (like... Losing my mind), but I managed to lock it all up and chill out the evening before. I actually...

  20. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    BioChic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to be lengthy, and I have no idea how far off-base I am with my perspectives here, but that is why I am posting. This past summer, I paid $800 for an accelerated, "6-week" CNA class,...

  21. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    BioChic replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    THIS is the part that has me very concerned. I doubt that my experience is rare. In my *brief* time in clinicals, I witnessed plenty of disregard by the CNAs. No gloves while giving a bath (which,...

  22. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    BioChic replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much for your response. I will look into what I need to do to report that facility. I failed to include this in my post, but I did sit for the state exam and passed with 98/100. The...

  23. JCCC RN applicant for 2015

    BioChic replied to CBRCHICK's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man, you are amaaaazing! It's crazy how relieved I am to hear that you're in there, you're doing it, you're surviving, and you have enough free time to fill me in! I was preparing myself for 7a-7p,...

  24. I am tiny and need help finding scrubs that will actually fit!

    BioChic replied to kaimkaim's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm really hoping you've found scrubs that fit, since it's been three years since your original post. So now I'M asking... what have you found?!? I'm 5'2" 112, long legs and a petite frame, but my...

    BioChic replied to CBRCHICK's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!!! I've re-read your couple of threads so many times in preparation, I feel a little obsessive. But would you be willing to answer some of my questions about the program? Like... How was 1st...
