    I'm 37! I didn't know you were the same age! No wonder we get along :) Next week is nuts for me, too. Four exams and two papers. The week after is finals, and I have three. I get 12 whole days off...

    It was great! I got to cuddle/feed/bathe and even get temps on the little ones. The nurses were so nice and answered my barrage of questions. I can't wait to go back

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

    I hate to say this, but I think the class is worth repeating. It's the foundation of most of your knowledge going into nursing school, as far as I've heard. Are you understanding things? Do you feel...

    I'm about to leave for my first volunteer shift! I'm a little nervous - I wonder where they'll put me (they have me as a NICU volunteer, but I asked for the Microbiology

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

    I'd be really careful taking two sciences and a math course over the summer - especially since you're struggling in A&P

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    The biggest issue IMO is that she was asked not to wear it and instead of making a case for herself about it, she wore it anyway. You break the rules (even if they are new), you get into trouble. That...

    Want to start nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Smm0716's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't think I was a science girl either, until I got awesome teachers. I'm 37 and graduating in two weeks with my Associate's Degree of Biology. I'm taking an EMT certification course in the fall...

    I LOVE Stranger Things! I also love Fallout :) I expected actual homework in college, but it's all quizzes and tests. I haven't had traditional "homework" since Chemistry last year. I take a lot of my...

    Hope everyone is hanging in there! Did two quizzes yesterday and I did well. We just finished up our 8 page Unknowns paper, so it's ready to turn in tomorrow. Today I A&P II, then tutoring so it's...

    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    Also, I took one of my tests for A&P II, got a 94. The next test is a take home exam that covers material she didn't cover in lecture, so it's a lot of reading and searching. That shouldn't be too...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with what you did in any way - I think it wasn't your place at all. However, you did what you felt you needed to do. You're asking what to do next - the answer is nothing. I can't...

    I just sat down to actually do a test count until graduation and now I'm going a little nuts. I have 4 A&P II tests left, 3 Micro exams along with my unknowns project and 2 more papers due in...

    Really hard choice

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Nurseannieb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. My Dad would be furious if I put my career on hold because of him. I'd do my best to see him as often as possible, however. If I was the sick one, I'd absolutely want my girls to...

    Same. I have a ton of stuff to do and not enough time to do it. I graduate on the 10th and my next class starts on the 22nd. Then the rest of my classes start on June 6th. So I'll be even busier than...

    Best coloring book for Anatomy

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I'm almost done with A&P II, I wouldn't recommend starting to study/learn before the class. I bought a coloring book to use for school and I ended up not using it at all. Instructors are SO...

    The cadaver lab was AMAZING!! I got to hold a brain. A BRAIN! And lungs, livers, hearts and stuff. And the lady let me cut open a kidney. What an awesome experience that

    Math requirement for RNs?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! It's a totally foreign idea to me. We use mental math all the time - even today in my Micro class when we were doing bacterial counts with dilution factors. No calculators allowed. I guess I'm...
