    Do you keep your school binders?

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

    I'm going to keep my A&P stuff, but that's

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    We got to dissect eyeballs yesterday - it's one of the coolest things I've ever done. I learned SO much about the eye, too. I snapped a photo of the retina - how gorgeous is this?...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    Great job! We've evolved as a class and are now celebrating everyone that gets great grades on their tests. I'm so glad we're past the envy

    Online BSN

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

    Why do you think you're being wait-listed? I'd figure that out before trying to find another

    PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many schools don't allow you to retake classes - or if you do, your second grade isn't taken into account at all. I went to college at 18 and got a C in English Comp - and that's all she wrote. That...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    Yep. I still have two more tests, so I can bring it up to an A (if I get my crap together). It's not really a hard class - it's like problem solving, but with math. It's that I took it online and the...

    Am I too old????

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

    I will never understand these questions. Do you think you're too old? That's what it boils down to. I'll be 40 when I graduate. I never questioned being too old to do something I really want to do....

    How many hours do you study?

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

    This is really going to depend on what type of student you are. I will say that I study a *lot* for A&P - at least an hour or two a day. It's just so much memorization. English was an easy A for...

    Me? I've got three A's and a B right now, so it's going pretty

    PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I'd be more worried about your GPA being competitive at this

    PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your school entirely. Most schools use the 5 year mark, some 10. My school doesn't care how long ago you took it, but they expect you to be able to recall the information necessary to be...

    First day as a CNA. How did you know what to do when?

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

    It's been a while since I was a CNA, but I'll answer based on what I remember. How do you know if someone is weight-bearing or not? It should be noted on their chart. You can always the patient (or...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    Great job! I'm doing the two degree thing, too. I'll graduate from my community college with an associates of science, then I'll enter nursing school for my BSN. There were like three extra classes I...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    It seems like people either love it or hate it! I spent a good amount of time researching my teacher, and it seems like she's really invested in helping her students, so hopefully I'll do

    Just registered for Spring! A&P II Microbiology Intro to World Religions Federal Government After that, I've got three classes left until I graduate with my Associates of Science. Then it's...

    Nursing + Homeschool?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Haliejolea2012's topic in General Nursing

    At that age, I wouldn't be formally schooling them. I'd just let them learn organically. In my experience, kids do much better that way. Again, I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm already using NCLEX...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't about being a bad nurse, IMO. It's about being a human with questionable ethics and reasoning. Work on that first - taking responsibility for your actions, objectively studying your choices...

    Nursing + Homeschool?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Haliejolea2012's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I am a full time student. We've been homeschooling for five years now. So yes, I believe you can homeschool while having other time heavy

    Just wanted to say I hate nursing soooo much

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NursingBro's topic in General Nursing

    Based on your post history, this hatred isn't new - you've been posting about how miserable you are since 2013. So while I feel bad that you're so unhappy, it's time to do something about it, instead...

    I am not proud of my track record.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Which of these is a "mistake"? Charting that you've completed procedures that you haven't isn't a mistake, it's a lie. Charting that you're leaving later than you are isn't a mistake, it's also a...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    I got a 74 on my muscles lab. They were *all* spelling mistakes. I'm pretty pissed at myself. We did the sheep brain dissection, which was really cool. We had new brains (they are recycled for over 5...

    ABSN or MENP

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

    I recommend the BSN first, and get a few years experience under your belt. Make sure it's a good

    Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. This is a huge problem. This is why, despite my misgivings, I voted for
