    other non traditional students / moms

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

    My kids are a bit older, which means a lot more of our learning is independent now. I also am part of a co-op that meets twice a week and luckily one of my friends help me put together curriculum, so...

    Need Help! Bad Professor and nervous WWYD?

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

    I'm echoing the above. I had a "terrible" teacher for Chemistry, and while he wasn't the best teacher I've ever had, he certainly wasn't

    A&P Lab Question

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Katie19973's topic in General Students

    I'm starting A&P on Monday, too. I wouldn't start studying until after your first class. Is there a syllabus? It might give you a better idea of what you're going to learn first. Based on my...

    Jealous of my residency

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Sinkorswim's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yikes. Why do you care what these people say? They obviously aren't friends, so they shouldn't be allowed in your head

    Need advice: Paying for Nursing school

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

    I would do a two year degree, work as a nurse, save your cash, then do the ABSN (perhaps with tuition assistance from your workplace). There is no way I'd accumulate more debt to cut my schooling by a...

    Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

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

    They aren't cheaper for me - the classes are through my community college, same cost as all the other classes I take. I take online classes because I'm a stay at home mom, and I homeschool my two...

    Need advice on how to approach my pre-reqs

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

    I take all the classes I can online - most of the time, I can work ahead and get things done on my schedule. It's helped me so much. I take a full load, but generally only have one in person class to...

    Linguistic Pet Peeves

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't usually bother me when people mispronounce words - I assume they learned it by reading it, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't really mind misspelled words in print, either,...

    What does this mean?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a similar issue with my community college placement test. I ended up taking Beginner and Intermediate Algebra to brush up on my skills. Then I took Algebra (which is a requirement for Statistics...

    The problem with Some new nurses

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

    I used to be a CNA. It was my job to get water, help patients to the restroom, bathe and generally do those types of things. I never expected help (unless I asked for it), because it was my job to...

    Tattoos?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How is a person tattooing themselves forcing their beliefs on other people? My tattoo has nothing to do with anyone but myself.

    Tattoos?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have one tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. It's pretty meaningful to me - I drew it myself and my kids each have a small drawing in there, too. I got it after I reached a pretty huge goal in my...

    Is it ever ok?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to brycross33's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Since it's the doctor telling you, not the patient seeking your help, I'd have a chat with the doctor about it. I'm sorry for your

    When you want to slap your co-workers

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

    We only know what our experiences have taught us. Perhaps to them, it IS hard, because their "hard" is different than your hard, based on your experiences. That doesn't make them less than you, it...

    Seriously?? Small rant.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    I would feel weird putting Nurse in my username, because I'm not one. I would also feel weird using your examples, too (specifically Engineer). I feel like titles are earned through hard work and...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in General Nursing

    My best friend wants to go to school with me, but she doesn't want to waste her time if the process is difficult. I'm trying to convince her that it won't be so bad, but some of the stories online are...

    prepping for Teas, and having a very hard time getting something down

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

    The easiest way for me to solve problems like this is to write down the information given. Then figure out where to stick it. So, their total weight is 225, so we know that's on one side of the...
