    Pre Enrollment Drug Screen

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

    I'm on a benzo, and I had to take a drug test to volunteer at a hospital. I told them up front what I was on. I "failed" the test of course, so they sent it off to a lab. The lab called and asked for...

    Planners: Digital vs. Paper

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to AnnPerkins's topic in General Students

    Oh my, those Erin Condren planners are so pretty!!!! I wish I could justify the cost, but I really can't.

    Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no expert. Heck, I'm not even a nurse yet - but the bold is what stood out to me as something that would probably compel her to report you. This could mean so many different things, and many of...

    What program is a good stepping stone before applying into the nursing program?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Mbettencourt08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't *have* to get a degree before starting a nursing program. I did though, because it was two extra classes, and I'm old and wanted that worthless (to everyone but me) piece of paper and got...

    Rasmussen University, Here I come!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in School, College Programs

    No one is saying that Rasmussen is a bad program, so there's no need to defend the program (or insult other programs, which was really odd). People are saying that $50k (the OP's quote) is too much...

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    They might be University level courses, but they doesn't mean they transfer to a University later down the line. What if your work your butt off only to have to do it all over again? Is the program...

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    A few things. I would NOT take Microbiology without Chemistry. Is there a reason you're going to a technical school and not straight for a BSN? If your goal is that of an NP, it makes more sense now...

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    You're going to give up so easily? I'd keep trying. Take an intro to Chemistry class. Get a good, solid foundation for your future. If you want to be an NP, you'll need Chemistry regardless. If this...

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    I will also say "the chemistry part" is what everything you're about to learn is based on. You need a solid foundation in chemistry to be successful (IMO, many here disagree). Everything that happens...

    This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    I don't know why those stupid question marks are there. I meant to say a laptop from them (to the tune of $1500) and text books. My wallet will be weeping come January (assuming I get in, of

    That might be a better tool. I mostly used the app for math, because that was my weak point. The questions did seem more challenging on there than in the

    Summer 2017 Chat

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

    The biggest recommendation I have is to NOT rely on the TEAS study manual for the science portion of the test. It was nothing like the actual test, and I don't feel it did a good job of preparing me...

    I've been trying to find a CNA class around here, but I'm not having any luck. I feel like I might go insane just sitting around here for five months, waiting to see if I'm accepted into nursing...

    Summer Online Class(es)

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If science is a struggle for you, then I'd recommend not taking Micro online, especially in a four week period. It's not a hard class, but it's a struggle for a lot of people. It's also one of the...

    I thought Micro was more difficult than A&P. But it was so much fun. I wouldn't take it online, simply because you'd miss out on all the best parts of it. I'm taking three classes this summer -...
