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

    What degree are you going for? I'm aiming for a BSN and English Comp I and II are required for my degree, so it's worth taking. Psychology was a really fun class though - I enjoyed it a

    Need your advise on first semester

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

    I didn't find college algebra difficult, so it depends on how strong your math skills are. I think your schedule looks fine. Good

    Bullying in the workplace

    suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, and I struggle with depression. Making statements like this can be pretty damaging to people in situations like mine. I'd like to see some evidence of this

    Suggestions/advice on succeeding in A&P class

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

    My tests are similar. It's all fill in the blank, no word banks, and spelling counts. We have spelling quizzes, lab drawings, and even song interpretations to complete. I try to study all key points...

    Can I get a job without a BSN?

    Nursing and Personality

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to TuesdaysChild's topic in General Students

    I HATE chemistry

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

    I had a terrible Chem instructor. He would call us all bastards, and start yelling at us randomly during lecture. He wouldn't help, he wouldn't answer questions and he was sexist, too. At mid-term, I...
