    Feeling extremely underappreciated

    Welcome to being an aide. Edit: for clarification. All these things that people are asking you to do are your

    Homeschooling while attending nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rnstudentjaymie's topic in General Students

    Yep, in our 6th year

    Are there any nurses who didn't start off as a nursing major in college?

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

    I'd take pre-reqs at a community college, get good grades, and then worry about getting into nursing school. My major in my cc is "Biology, Pre-Nursing". I'll be transferring into a four year for my...

    Homeschooling while attending nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rnstudentjaymie's topic in General Students

    With the flexibility that homeschooling offers, and your support system, I don't see why you can't. I'll be doing the same, though I'm going to be an RN for a while and see how that feels before...

    Psych rotation and pregnancy

    Which plan of study would you choose?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've found rate my professor to be very accurate for my school. You can't just look for 5.0 ratings, you need to read the comments and review the level of difficulty. I don't want an easy teacher - I...

    Bullying in nursing field does exist

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also, as an aside, I've never seen anyone on here deny that there's bullying in nursing. It's just not exclusive to nursing. And the word bully is so overused that it's almost meaningless these

    Bullying in nursing field does exist

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not making excuses for anything/anyone, that's why I asked "how did she bully you?", because in your initial post the little information you shared didn't sound like bullying. I was asking for...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    I need to adapt this mindset. I'm stressing over my 88 in A&P. I so badly want it to be an A. There's no point in stressing though, it'll be what it is. I just have to keep working hard. Today...

    Help with A&P situation

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    My tests are never directly off the notes. They are always a variation on a concept we've learned as it applies to another concept we've learned. Like if A is related to B in this way, then Y must be...

    Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students

    I've chosen nursing (I'm in school) because it's a relatively stable job, the pay is decent, lots of flexibility in my schedule and the never-ending challenges and educational opportunities. It...

    Is it worth applying when you are still missing prereqs?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to alexmg12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're going to have to check the schools policies. For my school, if you haven't completed all your math/science courses, they won't even look at the rest of your application. You can, however, apply...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    That's fantastic!!!! I took my lecture exam today, and part of it's still not graded, but the part I have my grade on was an 88. It was a lot harder than I expected. I have a take home test due next...

    To take the final or not? Have you done your bone practical yet?

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

    So all your work throughout the semester can be thrown out in favor of one test? Yikes. I did complete my bone practical. I got a C - my worst grade in the entire class. I couldn't find a good way to...

    had to withdraw from nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nursingstudent65's topic in General Students

    Go back and try again. I'd rather fail twice than give up once. Good

    Missed application deadline

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to amber_nicolee22's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it looks like the schools site doesn't include the year of the application deadline, so I think it's just an easy misunderstanding and she hasn't missed the date at

    4.0 Student...Didn't get in

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

    No one said that looks don't matter. I'm small, blonde and I'm a 34DDD. I know exactly what it's like to be stereotyped. It's just never my first assumption that that's the reason things didn't go the...

    How did you decide which school (s) to take prerequisites for?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Pudding212's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose a community college to save money and because it's 5 minutes away from my
  21. ItsThatJenGirl

    Which plan of study would you choose?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above. A&P is a lot of information, it's makes more sense (IMO) to have 16 weeks rather than 8. We learn SO MUCH every week in my class. Good

    Missed application deadline

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to amber_nicolee22's topic in General Students

    I just glanced at their website and it looks to me like the deadline for Fall 2017 entry is February 15th (I would assume 2017 - this is a similar application schedule for my school). Am I reading it...

    4.0 Student...Didn't get in

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

    I'd contact the school and find out the actual reason you didn't get it. I have a hard time believing that it's because you're a blonde with a large chest. There could be a perfectly valid reason you...

    starting pre reqs with a baby and a part time job

    I would avoid taking math/science classes online, for sure. These are just topics better taught in person, in my

    starting pre reqs with a baby and a part time job

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

    My best advice is to take it slow - it's not a race. I've done most of my classes online because I've got two kiddos that I homeschool, so I really needed the flexibility. Online courses aren't for...
