  1. MICRO freak out...

    jenn_rn_nj replied to allthingsbright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hehe - i think your teacher and my teacher have the same philosophy. we have a test week 5, 10 then 12, 14, 16 (this is the cumulative final) along with weekly lab quizzes (those are standard since...

  2. Anyone here have their kids in private school....?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attended private and/or private Catholic school my entire life. There are pros and cons to both. I thrived and performed well in that setting as did my sister. Graduate school was our first venture...

  3. Dumb Idea??

    jenn_rn_nj replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    are the two really related? imho, no. so much can happen between now and then. i think the decisions should be contemplated independently. if you decide to have a child then have a plan in place to...

  4. feeling overwhelmed (very long read)

    jenn_rn_nj replied to jenn_rn_nj's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Hello - thank you for your words...my father came home this past Monday. right now he requires 24 hour care. my mom is going to continue to work (her respite) and my dad will go to a day program for...

  5. Microbiology

    jenn_rn_nj replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology varies greatly depending on your class / teacher. At my school micro is far more difficult than A&P I or II. It is a ton of memorization and very detail oriented. Personally I find...

  6. What is a reasonable price?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any children, but I have asked co-workers what the going rate is for babysitting these days since that is what most of them use for those couple hours between them leaving and hubby...

  7. duct tape is amazing! :) a non-serious thread

    jenn_rn_nj posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    apparently duct tape has many uses of which i was not aware. i am beginning to think this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. i learned last week in micro that duct tape is actually a less...

  8. duct tape is amazing! :) a non-serious thread

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

    I second that emotion!

  9. Any suggestions for my Autobiography

    jenn_rn_nj replied to GAA30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recall doing a paper like that once in school. The approach that I took (I wasn't trying to be morbid) was writing it as an eulogy. I wanted to tell about both my accomplishments and my goals. I...

  10. doin a little MICRO dance LOL

    jenn_rn_nj replied to allthingsbright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your project!

  11. Body Worlds

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Golden_Clover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our teachers are also recommending that we go. We don't get any extra credit or anything but I hear it's a pretty neat exhibit. I was going to try to see it this spring during spring break but some...

  12. feeling overwhelmed (very long read)

    jenn_rn_nj posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hello... This is a long post, but I'm feeling very stressed and overwhelmed and perhaps someone has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice - I'm about at my wits end. Also thinking of...

  13. Is Micro harder than A&P?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to nursecher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I am the oddball...I find micro to be more challenging, but I like it more. With A&P I can wrap my head around the processes and it all makes sense. I didn't feel A&P was so much...

  14. Spending the Benjamins

    jenn_rn_nj replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My BF and I have a 175 yo house that is in "good" but not "great" condition. It is quite livable, though, so we haven't been doing a lot of big stuff to it. It will be nice once I am out of school to...

  15. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to buddiage's topic in General Students

    I had an unsupportive EX, also (main reason he is an EX). I was in graduate school (not nursing) and he griped and complained all the way - one day he came home and stated he quit his job, just like...

  16. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lol - good idea! sometimes, i just roll them at the waist since the scrub tops are soooo loose nobody can tell.

  17. A&P 1 & 2 during the summer, good or bad idea?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For what it's worth... My friend took A&P I & II in summer session and said she feels that even though she did very well academically, she doesn't feel she retained a lot since it was...

  18. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is soooo true. I wear navy tops & bottoms - I've had the scrubs about 7 months now and I am nearly two-toned since they didn't fade evenly. I didn't notice the difference when I purchased...

  19. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the dickies flare leg scrub pants currently for work...I love how soft they are, but I was dissappointed at how fast they faded! Also, the pockets are really small on them and not useful. If...

  20. Students... hobbies?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to tutusandfrogs's topic in General Students

    does studying count as a

  21. Just 'Gotta' Buy Something! :-D

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to buy myself 1 item each month to prepare...stethoscope one month, light pen, BP cuff, scissors next, shoes/uniforms next...etc. Spread out the expenses so to speak. Then I started with...

  22. The Introverted Folks

    jenn_rn_nj replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to be a terrible public speaker - I'd mumble, laugh if I messed up and look down instead of at the audience - my voice would shake, I would shake. The period of time prior to speaking I'd just...

  23. What would you do?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    If the person skipping class wants to deprive himself of the chance to learn, so be it. If his girlfriend wants to enable him, so be it. Skipping class doesn't hurt anyone but the person skipping...

  24. at what age did you start studying nursing?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to cksl's topic in General Students

    Started pre-reqs at 31, will graduate when I'm 35 (hopefully!). Like many others, this is a career change for me - my BS is in Psych and Education - now I'm pursuing an RN diploma. I have wanted to...

  25. do i have a reason to worry?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    doubtful that you will have any problems - but ironically, i do think people that work in the restaurant business do make great nurses. i'm not saying this due to the service aspect of the job, but...
