    Progress in classes

    16 week semester, in my 5th week. A&P is an A, and so is Nutrition. Speech is a B and Statistics is a C right now (ouch). I know I'll bring both the B and C up soon

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    An 84 isn't a bad grade! I'm sorry you're bummed though. I get it. Most of the stuff on my A&P lab exam that I missed were spelling errors that I shouldn't have made. Happy Monday all! I hope...

    Try to take a step back and look objectively at the situation. I hope you learn something. Best of

    Getting Through A Hectic Semester

    I'd try to reframe the "still three months left" into "only three months left!". When I'm feeling defeated or overwhelmed, I really do try to find the bright side of things, or find new ways to look...

    Why did you want to become a nurse?

    The money, stability, education opportunities and a flexible schedule. It's definitely not a calling for

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    Typing things out doesn't stimulate the brain the way that writing things does. What is this exam covering? We've done different tissues in the body, planes, cavities, what does in all the cavities,...

    Lowest stress (still great pay) nursing specialties?

    Being happy in your career and being happy in your personal life aren't mutually

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    I just took my first statistics test and it was so easy that I feel like I must have missed something and failed. Does anyone ever feel like that? It took me 20 of the allotted 120

    Am I fit to become a nurse?

    I don't know that any of us can tell you which career path to choose. First, what makes you think you might be unfit for nursing? I'd make a pro/con list for each career and see how you feel after...

    Filler classes for a nursing major

    If you eventually plan on going for RN, I'd take classes that would apply to that. If not, do fun stuff! Like criminal investigation or sculpture or

    Am I Just Not Smart Enough?

    Your prospects are going to depend heavily on the school you're going to apply to. My prospective school requires at 3.0 in math/science classes, but the average student has a 3.5. Some schools let...

    Im just so tired of school

    I'm tired of school, too. I've been trying to get my degree since 2009 (on and off, because finances). So seven years now. But I want a good, secure retirement for my husband and I, so this is what...

    What if I made a mistake?

    The more important questions are: What if you fly? Look, school in general is hard. Nursing, teaching, business admin - it's all tough. If you think you can do it, try - if you fail, at least you...

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    Are you in Intro to Chem or something else? That sounds like so much work! I had my first Nutrition exam last week, got a 93. Stats test this week, and I turned in a huge project for Speech yesterday....

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    It is that. It goes so quickly and it's SO much information, but I'm loving the class. In that vein, I got a 90 on my first lab exam. I wish I had done better, to be honest, but I'll take

    It was really hectic this week. I had a two part nutrition test (multiple choice, essay) on Tuesday, then my A&P lab test on Wednesday. I have a stats test next week and a big speech project due...

    Frustrated

    I agree with the above. Once could be that the job/environment just wasn't a good fit. Twice means it's time to really think about your actions and how you can improve. Good

    "What type of nurse?"

    Yes, people ask this all the time. I actually find myself asking it too, just to see what other options are out there I maybe hadn't considered. To be honest, I have a general idea what I want to do,...

    On-line classes

    I have taken every single class that doesn't require a lab online. So, a lot. I'm pretty organized and I stay on top of my work. Self paced learning is easier for me, but it's not for everyone. I'm...
