    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    It's almost time to start our summer thread! I'm having second thoughts on the EMT program plans. Financial aid concerns, time off concerns, cost concerns. I mean I want to - but the cost (for the...

    Thanks in advance to anyone reading this! It's going to be a long one, so you may want to grab a snack I have a bit of a dilemma that I'd like input on. I'm graduating next month with my associates...

    Doing Checked off Clinical skills at home?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to curlybirdie's topic in General Students

    This. I'm not in nursing school yet and my mom had cancer last year. When she was released home she was on tube feeds and still had her trach. I handled her feeds, meds and trach care. Because I was...

    I wonder if any studies have been done about Shellac, which is what I get done. It's just a polish/gel polish hybrid painted on and cured. Off to

    What do I do if I don't get accepted?

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

    I'd stop worrying about your age. There are no deadlines you have to meet other than the ones you set, so be more flexible. I'm 37 and just finished up my pre-req's and starting to apply. My advice:...

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

    Thanks! I had a semester off because of the way my school's application requirements work, so I figured I'd do the EMTB cert, so I can work as a tech in the ER during the summers, or something like...

    A friend of mine was nice enough to take my girls for the day, so I got a lot done. I've got the A&P II stuff down. Micro (which is tomorrow morning), I'm a little nervous about. The biggest part...

    Advice for Biology Graduate

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to kayendel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2.8 is the minimum, which is usually much lower than the applicant average (the school I hope to get into has a 2.5 minimum, but the average is 3.6). I'm not trying to discourage you, just prepare...

    Advice for Biology Graduate

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to kayendel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't count on ADN programs to necessarily be easier to get into. The program here is very competitive. Do you need to take any prerequisites? Are there any classes you can take to raise your...

    How do I learn and not just memorize???

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    IMO, you memorize first, then make the connections on the physiology level (learn). In my classes we did the anatomy, which was pretty much straight memorization, then a week or two later, we'd start...
