    getting ready for Algebra

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

    Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice Accounts are free - sit through their placement exam type thing; it takes about an hour to complete and your results on that will tailor...

    Course schedule is this too much...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on a few factors - do you have kids/a family to take care of? Do you have to work (if so, how many hours?) Are you a quick learner, or do you really have to spend a lot of time on each...

    PBSC Lake Worth Nursing Program-Drug Screening

    Wiggly Litchi replied to prospectivenusre's topic in School, College Programs

    Unsure - usually the basic drug screens are a urine test. It's a good idea though to completely stop using any kind of drugs (even if marijuana is legalized in your state, stop using). Drug testing...

    Advice from CNAs and Nurses. Working in LTC, feeling confused/overwhelmed.

    Wiggly Litchi replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've worked in SNF/LTC a lot as a CNA and honestly it's a learning curve. I thought I'd absolutely hate it at first; working in geriatrics is not glamorous by any means and I'll be honest, it took me...

    New CNA and feel like I'm terrible at it.

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Chomp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maaaan, this brings back some memories for me... I had a rough start too as a CNA - it didn't help that the first facility that I worked in was incredibly clique-ish, so I never really had any help...

    Those who went to Community college, did you study for the accuplacer/ entrance exam?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did some self-study at home for math; it'd been so long since I'd done any geo that it just made sense for me to get a bit of a review in. Like others have said, classes are time and money If you...

    Spring 2017 Chat

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Today's daft question from A&P2: "So adipose turns fat into sugar?" This person apparently passed A&P1 (they had to, to get into A&P2). I don't mind when people are stuck on a concept, I...

    iPads/ tablet utilization

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Perspective's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a pc at home, a tablet can be super helpful - I have a mini ipad and bluetooth keyboard that I carry around for school and it's nice and compact. However, I do my coursework on the PC at...

    Spring 2017 Chat

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For sure! It's all good! Back when I was living in Idaho, the local CC was very respectable; they didn't hand out grades and the work ethic in general was much better. Life happened and I ended up...

    Spring 2017 Chat

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not used to the whole 'skip finals' thing - It's nice, I won't lie... But that never happened back home. It's another reason why I feel like my community college just hands out grades sometimes....

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see the light at the end of the tunnel. . ! I get in to statistics this morning at 07:00 only to be told to go home - I'm exempt from the final, so I don't need the 2 review days or the exam next...

    Question regarding math...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think you would fare better taking it online then go ahead - that being said, don't be afraid to look to places like khanacademy.org for math help! If you feel like you're getting stuck on a...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love you guys haha @Jen - Stand your ground on this one; I know things have been tough for her lately but she's gotta start doing it for herself. If she asks you for help, offer her something like...

    Spring 2017 Chat

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The semester needs to end already - I'm getting so worn out with people. Had to sit through a 3hr lecture listening to someone chew her gum with her mouth open and pop it constantly, despite being...

    Failed dosage calculations

    Wiggly Litchi replied to climbingmountains's topic in General Students

    Your college might have extra resources such as campus tutors, so I'd look into that if you can. I sencond what simplistic says though - try not to focus on past grades as it's only going to make you...

    Might get kicked out of program...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to qteebug's topic in General Students

    No one said we're perfect, I sure as hell didn't say that in my post. Getting to where I have gotten wasn't easy - sure stress comes up but I don't let it control me, if anything it makes me work...

    How many hours did you work during prerequisites?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both full and part time - hours varied week to week, but the full time weeks weren't too hectic. This was with a full-time course load. Totally doable, just budget your time

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your test results, you absolutely rocked it!! I'll be taking the summer off from classes - since I've already paid for my NLN exam, my original plan was to spend the summer cramming for it...

    Can I vent?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to RN_Loading1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Vent away - it's what we're here for! That being said, what keeps me motivated through some of my less interesting prerequisites is that this is the foundation on which we will build up the rest of...

    Any pre-nursing studenets want to talk???

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Gemini616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kinda- though my delayed semester is because of my own doing (I'm delaying so I can apply to two nursing programs in my city simultaneously, instead of applying for one for the spring, one for the...

    anatomy and physiology online course

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Depends on the professor to be honest - that being said, I've always encouraged people to sit through the lecture if they're having trouble with A&P. Having someone there in real-time to explain...

    Rate my professor?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love RMP, but as others have said, you've got to really read in to the reviews to see if they're garbage or if there's any merit to them. If the negative reviews are consistent and revolve around...
