    PCP refuses to release client's labs despite signed consent/release

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to smartblnde's topic in General Nursing

    I have access to all my lab work online through the lab I use. Perhaps that would be worth looking

    How old is everyone?

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

    I'm 37. I took 11 years "off" from working and school to stay home and homeschool my kids. It's mamas time now. I'll be graduating with an Associates of Science in Biology and my EMT-B certification...

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

    Less than a week of freedom for me :) My government class published early and it looks like I have to do a service learning project. Not thrilled about that, because the place I already volunteer...

    Getting around the 18 y.o requirement

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

    My homeschooled kids get plenty of interaction with other kids - crushes and all. Public school doesn't have the market cornered on life experiences or rites of

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    This is our first year with Oak Meadow and my kids are absolutely thriving with it. We don't use the online school, but that's our plan once I hit nursing

    Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but we're in our 5th year of homeschooling, and I'm in school full time. We use Oak Meadow, which is very "whole child". My kids are 9 and 11. At the beginning of each...

    Anatomy study materials

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

    I made a 94 in Anatomy and Physiology just using the text book and my teachers lectures. It's not necessarily a hard class, it just has a lot of info. I'd wait to see how you feel about the material...

    White Scrubs and That "Time of the Month".

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Shookclays's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would recommend tampons and a pad as a back up in case of leakage. And my doctor has me take NSAID's the first few days, which really lightens my flow. Something to look into or talk to your doctor...

    Oh how fun (the march!). I'm glad your kiddo is adjusting well to school. I broached the topic with my girls and got resounding NO's. So back to the grind here. My financial aid just posted, I'm so...

    Micro & A&P

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to robin98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found nutrition very easy. As far as A&P with Micro - I'm taking A&P II this semester with Micro, so I can't say how it is quite yet. Good

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

    You're welcome! Statistics was a challenge for me, but I took it online, which was a big mistake. It's not a good class to self teach, but I don't think it was hard overall. Good

    I am - I'm a little nervous, but I did really well in A&P I and I have the same teacher for A&P II. I've heard great things about the Micro teacher (she was recommended by my A&P teacher),...

    What Do You Love About Nursing?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Allison007's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny, shortly after I joined this site, I posted a similar thread. This place scared the pants off of me and I was sure I had made a terrible decision (I'm a student). But really, if you stick...

    What steps should I take ??

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

    Both. I'm taking my pre-req's and about 10 minutes a day I'm using my TEAS Mastery app before bed. It's not like you need to spend hours and hours studying for it, but the app is helping me see my...

    Tuition Reimbursement How-To

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Nursing

    I really, really advise you to continue working for a few years, save all your pennies and pay cash for your new education. You're a teacher - you can tutor for extra cash and get another job in the...

    Maintaining health while in nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to thelittleRNwhocould's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but I did lose almost 100 pounds about a year ago. The key for me was just eating like I normally do, but less. I'd still eat fast food occasionally, but I'd get small...

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

    Then you have a choice to make. The max amount of grants you can get (based on financial need) is $5700ish. What's not used towards your tuition is sent to you for expenses like books, supplies, gas,...

    How old is too old to be finishing nursing school?

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

    Okay, thanks for explaining. If it helps, I've been working on these classes on and off since 2009. I'm finally in the home stretch to apply to nursing school. I'll graduate when I'm 40. It doesn't...

    How old is too old to be finishing nursing school?

    I've got to ask where this question comes from - because we see it on here all the time, and I genuinely don't get it. What, exactly, are your concerns regarding your age or the time it takes you to...
