1. CFCC ADN 2015 applicants

   Mel_p replied to Mel_p's topic in School Programs

   I'm not going to lie... That test was intense. The timing was killer but I finished all the sections. I don't think I bombed it but I'm also not confident either. The spelling wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but there were definitely words I h...

   Mel_p replied to Mel_p's topic in School Programs

   I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one worried with math but they could bring on the crazy algebra that's my math specialty! I'm most worried about having time to work out fractions, percentages etc. because I'm so used to typing everything into a cal...

   Mel_p replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You definetly need to consult with your doctor about what you will and will not be able to do and how long after your surgery until you will be fully recovered. Sometimes or most of the times programs require you to be able to do certain physical and...

   I am not applying to the RIBN program I'm just going to do the ADN and if I don't get in I'll apply for LPN and do the bridge program to RN it takes the same amount of time as just going straight through the ADN program. How about you?

   Mel_p replied to Mel_p's topic in School Programs

   I spoke with someone that took it this semester already and they said that was the hardest and also the longest portion of the test but that they scored in the 90th percentile so that's good. He said the majority of the spelling was words he had neve...

9. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

   Mel_p replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing

   An A in A&P is not impossible and if you weren't stressed out with the demanding home life and the intensity of A&P I would consider you not human! Keep up the hard work and kudos to you !!!

10. Comment please!

    Mel_p replied to smocky123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You should look into taking a CNA program when you are able to. This will not only give you an option to work in a hospital or doctors office while you are in school but it will also show you what "nurse life" is like. If you decided to enter a progr...

11. Pre-Reqs! HELP!!!!

    Mel_p replied to 11mary26's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Anything is possible BUT you will have an extreme amount of studying to do. The time you put into that demanding course load will be your outcome. It is doable but HARD and TIME CONSUMING! A&P and Micro together is difficult but can be done. Stat...

12. Anxiety is high; potential nursing program in turmoil

    Mel_p replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    WOW ! That sounds serious. Its good to have a plan B and I think you should keep working toward the spring semester and wait it you to get an acceptance letter. Even if you do accept and the program falls to pieces that's when I would personally go t...

13. is nursing really worth the debt

    Mel_p replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Biology classes are the basis of any nursing program. Making a C in those classes is an average grade. Nursing school requires above average students. Not only because nursing programs are very difficult but because A&P is easy compared to classe...

14. Not sure if Nursing is right for me (Right Now)

    Mel_p replied to Meabso's topic in Pre-Nursing

    While this decision is absolutely one hundred percent up to you I do know that nursing is not just a job. Nursing is a career and to be a good nurse you must have a love for not only caring about people and there well being but also compassion for do...
