1. Looking for reviews/tips from Howard University's nursing students

   BreakRebuild replied to aaugust21098's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey, I went to Howard for nursing and I LOVED the school. It was an amazing experience. I met great people, great teachers, learned a lot, and really grew as a person. That being said, I transferred to another school after the summer program because...

2. How Long Did You Play the Waiting Game??

   BreakRebuild replied to TriecyJay's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If I may ask, Why did you choose to apply to Chamberlain straight out of high school?

3. failed nursing school

   BreakRebuild replied to Newtornworld's topic in Pre-Nursing

   1) Do Not Lie. Not only could you be booted out but they can ask you to repay any assistance you received and its a permanent red mark on your record. 2) Maybe you should explore doing something that will boost your application and give you time to r...

5. Anatomy Venting/Help

   BreakRebuild replied to AshlieV's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This might be a weird one, but I personally find there's only so many times I can review something before I'm no longer giving it my full attention. Personally I find drawing and labeling forces me to really learn material. Anatomy and physiology ar...

6. Need some advice

   BreakRebuild replied to estoque's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At this point you're looking at three years of prereqs, and a two year program. Five years for an Associates is long time. Personally I've been to a community college and a university and to my experience if 3 classes add up to 12 or so credits the s...

7. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

   BreakRebuild replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure where you're going to school but based on what the professors I've had in the past drive I'd say they make out very well. The school I attended was 50,000 a year before the added tuition for the upper division. I don't have the slighte...

8. Spirituality vs. Religious?

   BreakRebuild replied to Mmj86's topic in General Students

   The definition of these terms seem to grow and evolve as our society does, but personally I believe spirituality is part of being religious but you don't need religion to be spiritual. Spirituality is the faith, the connection, the feeling, and its ...

9. why do nursing???

   BreakRebuild replied to elgpak's topic in General Students

   Well, maybe you should be evaluating your own career choices instead of trying to analyze the choices of others. If you feel intelligent people shouldn't be nurses, why are you here?

10. school is on probation and being monitored closely

    BreakRebuild replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Accreditation or Approval? If its their accreditation you should be fine this late into the program but I'm not entirely sure how it works with approval. One allows students to sit for state boards (whether or not you can practice), and the other va...

11. Is it normal to feel like you suck?

    BreakRebuild replied to tiny_nurse's topic in General Students

    Be proud of yourself. The accelerated programs are in many ways a test of your personal drive and fortitude in addition to the actual material. To what I've heard most students who leave barely make it out of the first semester. You did it. You passe...

12. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    BreakRebuild replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    I understand it can be disruptive to come in late but you should be allowed to attend classes you've paid for. Rather than locking doors at the beginning of class I've had professors who mark you absent if you aren't there at the beginning of lecture...

13. How are you staying calm?

    BreakRebuild replied to nwjones2005's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Keep busy! haha I'm in the same boat and I think if i dwell on it too much I'll go mad!

14. flack about choosing nursing

    BreakRebuild replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've gotten a lot of the same comments. Don't allow it to sway you. Find what you love and hold on to it. But keep in mind people will probably have the same commentary for you your entire career. I guess you just need to weigh your need for approval...

15. I need HELP

    BreakRebuild replied to Blindstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Personally, I'd get get a CNA first and see if nursing is a good fit for you before going through all that. It'll give you a taste of the environment and if you'll be comfortable with what the job requires.
