  1. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    prinsessa replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am confused by the one-on-one education that "medicaide moms" usually get. I was a medicaid mom once upon a time and I never got any special education. Is this usually done while the woman is...

  2. Any Reasons To Choose LPN over RN?

    prinsessa replied to JBirdAngel's topic in General Nursing

    The LPN program by my house is about half as long as the RN program. I was thinking about becoming an LPN and then continuing school to become a RN. It all depends on if I get accepted at the school...

  3. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    prinsessa replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen kids jumping around in the back of cars numerous times. It makes me so mad. I even saw someone driving with their 3-year-old (or around that age) standing in the front seat. My DD just...

  4. Advice on schools for Prereq. courses in Chicago?

    prinsessa replied to audionaut's topic in Illinois Nursing

    A agree about going to the city colleges. They are cheap and have lots of evening and weekend classes. Good

  5. CDiff Smell?

    prinsessa replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Does C Diff smell different in kids? My son is taking antibiotics right now for C Diff, but his poop doesn't smell like any of these things. I know Rotavirus has a strong smell because my son also...

  6. Microbiology Spring 2007

    prinsessa replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Stats and didn't think it was too bad. I am pretty good at math though (not a genius , but math isn't hard for me). I know some people had problems passing the class, but I don't know if...

  7. Anatomy Jitters...

    prinsessa replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P was one of my hardest and favorite classes. You have to remember to study every day! I studied at least an hour everyday. I got As in both I and II, but I studied my butt off. I would even...

  8. Medical Terminology

    prinsessa replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was thinking about taking Medical Terminology in Spanish (it is offered at the college by my house). I know a little bit of Spanish (I should since I took about 3 years of it), but the medical...

  9. What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    prinsessa replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take Bio, but I don't know if it really helped that much. The hard part about A&P is all the memorization. If you aren't good at stuff like Biology, then I would recommend that you take...

  10. Microbiology Spring 2007

    prinsessa replied to BlessedMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am excited about taking Micro this semester! I am also taking Organic Chem which I'm not so excited about. Chemistry isn't my favorite subject. Micro sounds interesting though. My mom said it...

  11. I Got An Email!!! I GOT INTO UIC!!!

    prinsessa replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I might apply to Rush, but it is really expensive. I already have Statistics, so I don't think I need any other classes. I will have to look at their pre-reqs again. Thanks for the

  12. I Got An Email!!! I GOT INTO UIC!!!

    prinsessa replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to CCs. I would rather get a BSN right away instead of having to go back to school to do RN-BSN. A BSN will talk me the same amount of time anyway since I already have all my pre-reqs...

  13. Who is tired of typing the word "prerequisites"?

    prinsessa replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always just type pre-reqs or prereqs. I don't know if I have ever typed it all

  14. Post here if you are done with finals!

    prinsessa replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm done with Chem and Nutrition (with 2 As!!!) and will be working on my last two pre-reqs next semester. I can't believe that I will actually be in Nursing school next year. I'm so

  15. Would they even look at my application?

    prinsessa replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some nursing schools do a lottery, so it doesn't matter what your grades are as long as you pass the cut-off. I don't if you have any that do that in your area. I know some of the community colleges...

  16. I Got An Email!!! I GOT INTO UIC!!!

    prinsessa replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks....that is what I did, but I wasn't sure if that is what they wanted. I am just so scared about not getting in that I want everything to be perfect. btw, I have heard nothing but good things...

  17. I Got An Email!!! I GOT INTO UIC!!!

    prinsessa replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!! That is great news! I am sending off my application for UIC this week. Can I ask you a question about the essay? Did you answer each question separately or did you write it all...

  18. Are your grades in yet?

    prinsessa replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on everyones good grades!!!! I didn't get my grades yet, but I know I am getting As in both Chemistry and Nutrition. I thought Chemistry would be much harder, but it wasn't that bad. Now I...

  19. City Colleges of Chicago

    prinsessa replied to nursemi's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am taking pre-reqs at one of the city colleges. Are you asking about nursing programs? I heard that Truman's nursing school is pretty good. It is kind of hard to get in to thought because they do...

  20. Anyone afraid of not getting in?

    prinsessa replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really want to get into a BSN program, but if I don't I'm going to go to a community college. I don't want to wait another year of not making any money. Then once I start working I can go back to...

  21. Future Specialty?

    prinsessa replied to walktheline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not 100% sure right now. I would like to work in either L & D or post partum, and go back to school in the future to become a midwife (a midwife was present when my DS was born and she helped...

  22. Chemisty vs. Anatomy I&II

    prinsessa replied to abrainerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1&2 and I am taking Gen Chemistry right now. I think Chemistry is easier, but it is harder for me to study since I think it is a lot more boring. I found A&P pretty...

  23. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    prinsessa replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    This almost happened to my son. I told them I didn't want for him to get the flu shot (for my own reasons) and then the nurse came in with his immunizations and one of them was the flu shot. I...

  24. Why place mom on her left side???

    prinsessa replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had hypotension during labor and was told to lay on my left side. They wanted to make sure that both me and the baby were getting enough oxygen. I also had to wear an oxygen

  25. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    prinsessa replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a company that made, sold and processed these "personality" tests. We called them integrity tests though. You would be surprised by some of the answers the applicants gave. Like "How...
