    Summer 2017 Chat

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

    Is everyone still hanging in there? I haven't had a whole lot of time to pop in with the intensity of summer school. So far I'm doing pretty well. My first chem test I didn't do as well as I'd hoped...

    Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to think that being ill = being lazy. That sort of annoys me. I'm someone with a medical condition that "allows" me to stay in bed all day if needed. The reality of that is that I can't see...

    Being called a baby nurse

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    Unless she knows your background and experience, I wouldn't be offended. If she does, it sounds like she was dismissing your work as an LVN and I'd be a little ticked off, but then I'd let it go. Her...

    Pre-req's: A & P I and II classes

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Merry1517's topic in General Students

    I did, but I think I would have been fine if I hadn't. I still had my book and could review concepts as necessary when they came up. There's a lot of cross over, but it's more "hey, remember this...

    And now we wait.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I'm in summer school, I haven't had time to obsess over things yet. But I'm taking the fall semester off to spend time with my kids, and I'm sure I'll be a hot freaking

    TEAS: School limits your attempts?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Jhotmail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my program, we have to send our score through ATI. A copy of the results won't suffice. Regardless, schools have access to the results, and I'm sure they check them before an offer is extended....

    A&P Prep?

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P 1 this fall - people keep telling me how hard the class is. I want to be as prepared as possible. Should I start studying now? If so, where do you recommend starting?

    Applying for nursing programs at 30?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to xhidex33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you already have a degree, I'd look into an accelerated program, as Guy mentioned

    And now we wait.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've submitted one application, but the deadline isn't until August 31st, so I won't be hearing anything until Octoberish. For the other program, I'm in my last pre-req's, which I'll finish up in two...

    Smoking

    Help. Microbiology

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hearthappiness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lecture or lab? What are you having trouble with, exactly? How I studied depended on what I was studying. If it was the history of Micro, I'd do stuff like flash cards, if it was pro vs. eu I'd do...

    I'm not sure I'm cut out for this

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Quick note - I put this in General Nursing because I want to talk to nurses, not students. So I'm working on my nursing school apps now, and I'm about done with my pre-req's. I'm a grown up (37) with...

    Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    I think you nailed why I have an issue with someone using a cell phone in a situation like the OP - the patient would feel like they were interrupting something. That said, I could never be a sitter...

    Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    That's literally why I said: And I know that my opinion on cells phones is probably irrational. And then went on to say that I love technology and even said that cell phones have a place in a...

    Please help, this is complicated.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so very sorry. You won't ever be the same person/nurse you were before you lost your husband. You'll find a new sort of normal, and that'll take time. Don't worry about bringing people down for...

    Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm totally not picking on you, but this always cracks me up. You do what millions of people before cell phones did. And I know that my opinion on cells phones is probably irrational. No one has to...

    Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'm not Jolie, but I'm definitely biased against cell phones. I really detest them. I think they are unprofessional to the nth degree, unless you're using it for professional reasons. I think...

    Study Tips for Aspiring Nurse?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to cinderfloof's topic in General Students

    I'd figure out how you learn best. There are lots and lots of tests out there on the 'net that will tell you after answering a few questions. That will help get you started on figuring out the best...

    Would you let a relationship affect your job advancement?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I mean this with all the kindness in the world: grow a back bone, darling. Take a few risks. Figure out what you want, for yourself. Get outside of your comfort zone. Find a man that interests you...

    Summer 2017 Chat

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

    Yes, words! Sorry, I kept writing pages all over the place. I don't know what switch was flipped in my poor brain. How is med term going? I'm so in over my head this semester. There's just so much...

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

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

    Those are great stats! I really wish I had studied more for the TEAS. I'm taking classes at SAC this summer, too! I have to get this Chemistry II done before I can submit my

    Risk of getting your family members sick?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Pete_soon2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I figured as much. It's easy to let yourself get freaked out when you learn about all the germs floating around out there. Try to focus on the amazing things your immune system is capable of
