Hello girls. Well, I got registered for
my classes! I start next thursday.
Unfortunately it is going to take me three
years to do a two year degree because the
nursing program has been full since last
year. But, oh well. It will all work
out just fine. I am really excited but
nervous at the same time. I mean, I
always have straight a's, but I absolutely
hate the classroom setting. My darn
anxiety is so bad that I clam up as soon
as I sit down. And then when the dang
professors call on me even if I know the
answer by heart I forget as soon as they
call on me. I hate it.
But anyway, wish me luck! I have been on
zoloft for four years and I am in the
process of going off of it, so hopefully
my anxiety doesn't get really bad. It
shouldn't, but who knows.

Ohh congrats. I hate being in class too,
that is why I like schools that offer
online classes. I am the type of prson to
go to class, and leave school asap. I
never stayed and hung arounf like almost
everyone else. But I did always stop to
get something to eat. I am going to miss
going on campus to class, I always saw
something intresting. But goos luck. How
long will the nurse practitioner program
be, that you are going into after you
graduate?
I know most are 1 to 2 years down here,
but i've been hering about these
accelerated programs that are 3 or 4
months long. I am going to look for a
really short one. I want to learn as much
as possible, but I need to be free for my
baby.

I am trying to find pics of me. See, I
hate cameras (majorly) and haven't let
anyone take my picture since I was in my
sister's wedding two years ago. So, I am
waiting for her to give me copies and I
will post as soon as I get them.
I am not sure how long the nurse
practioner program is here because to be
honest I haven't gotten that far yet  it
took so much for me to get this far. But
I do know a girl who got a degree, it is
not called a nurse practioner but it is
almost the same exact thing (i will find
out what it is) and she was in school for
six years. So I am not sure. But it
would be awesome if it was only two more.
That would be great!
I have one internet class (biology) with
lab six days out of the semester. And I
have one video tape class (health science)
and I just have to go in for midterms and
finals. I just hope I can get myself
motivated enough to do it. I mean, I am
very bad at putting things off and since
these two classes are all up to me, I
don't know how that will go.Lol hopefully
okay.
Thanks girls!

Good luck! You'll do great! Let me know
if you need any help or anything...I have
taken all that stuff! And about online
classes....They drive me nuts because I am
such a procrastinator that I dont get
things done if I dont have to "go to
class". Glad they work for someone
though! Angie, where are you in school
at? How much more time before you get
"into" nursing school?

I am going to a local community college as
it is the cheapest and one of the few
schools in the area who offer the
program.
I won't start the actual nursing program
until fall 2005, and that is if I am
accepted. (of course to be accepted I
just have to have a 2.5gpa and if I can't
do that then I have no business in
healthcare anyway!)
don't tease lauren, I am take you up on
that offer when I get into the nursing
part of things!

Haha i'm not teasing...I really will help
ya! Its overwhelming and its so nice to
have people help ya...I have people I
call! Lol I know how frustrating it is
trying to get in and all that stuff...It
takes awhile! But hang in there and do
your best with your pre-reqs and you'll do
great. Its a lot of hard work for a
couple of years but it will pay
off....Well at least thats what they say!
Good luck with classes....I start back

A gps is a grade point average. And a 2.5
is a a nuetral c. And angie you're right,
anyone who can't get a 2.5 ingeneral
courses should be nowhere near needles,
drugs, and people. My nursing school
requiers, the same 2.5 gpa, but then again
it is different. They require a 2.0 is
all general course (like algebra, and
english, and a 2.5 in all general related
courses (like biology and psycology). But
over all the gpa has to be a 2.5. Taking
online courses is hard, but I like them
better than regular classes. I can get to
them when I get ready. But when I start
working I will make out a schedule, so I
will have time for each class, everyday.

I think it may be the same here. I think
certain pre-req's like biology have to be
a 2.5 or higher (and rightfully so, it
actually scares me that the gpa is so
low!) and the general studies need to be a
2.0. I am pretty sure that is the same
here.
Yeah, I think I will like the internet
course and the telecourse, but I just have
to make sure to discipline myself!~

Yeah, our nursing gpa was made up of 13
classes. And you had to have a 2.5 on
those. And then the rest you just had to
make a c. Some of those classes are hard
though....Microbiology...Pathophysiology.
I'm glad those are over!
