1. switch from medical school to nursing?

   mtrotchie replied to gj101's topic in General Students

   Dude finish med school. If you don't you'll probably always have a lingering "what if" feeling. Also you're already a 2nd year, meaning only 2 more years to go. That's the exact same time it would take to get an MSN, and you'll still be making money ...

2. Two Lab Courses at Once

   mtrotchie replied to miss_xtine's topic in General Students

   I can't speak from the perspective of a university, perhaps the curriculum/workload would be more difficult there. However, I'm currently taking A&P2 and gen chem1 this semester along with a psych and history class. Essentially a full load with 2...

3. Can a new nursing grad get a critical care type job?

   mtrotchie replied to mtrotchie's topic in General Students

   I'm still finishing up my prereqs, I'll be applying to 2 universities and my local community college program as a backup after next semester. I can say with near certainty that I would be accepted to the ADN program, whereas the 2 unis I am a little ...

4. Can a new nursing grad get a critical care type job?

   mtrotchie replied to mtrotchie's topic in General Students

   Depending where to, I'd be willing to relocate to some areas. I'm currently in the DFW area. Also what about as a new grad with an ADN rather than a BSN? Of course to get into CRNA school a BSN is required, but I may end up doing my local community c...

5. Can a new nursing grad get a critical care type job?

   mtrotchie posted a topic in General Students

   So my end goal is to be a CRNA and as it seems every CRNA school requires at least one year of experience in critical care setting. However, after doing a small amount of research on critical care nursing jobs, every single one required (or preferred...

6. Texas A&M Uni - Am I competitive enough?

   mtrotchie replied to mtrotchie's topic in School Programs

   In that case do you know how the transcripts portion works? Like this programs deadline is Jan 15th, but I'll have coursework from that immediate fall semester that I'd like included with it.

7. Texas A&M Uni - Am I competitive enough?

   mtrotchie posted a topic in School Programs

   So by the time I finish all my pre-reqs for nursing school after next semester, I'll likely have a 3.5 cumulative GPA (started out as engineering and didn't do so hot), 3.85 pre-nursing GPA, and a 4.0 science GPA. I'll be applying to 2 universities a...

8. Nursing school and GPA

   mtrotchie replied to mtrotchie's topic in General Students

   Well I have some good news I think, if what I'm reading online is correct (granted I need to confirm with TWU advisers) I'm seeing that TWU only uses nursing pre reqs to calculate the cumulative GPA. That's freakin awesome if it's the case because if...

9. Nursing school and GPA

   mtrotchie replied to mtrotchie's topic in General Students

   So the classes I took at the university, the only ones that were even nursing prereqs were 2 govt classes (one C and one A) and a business calculus class (I got an A in this one). I did transfer these to my CC, all the rest of my nursing prereqs will...

10. Nursing school and GPA

    mtrotchie posted a topic in General Students

    So I have a slightly unique situation (maybe it's not unique but I couldn't find many posts online about it). I went to a university my freshman year and started as an engineering major. Long story short I bombed my first semester, 1.8GPA. I failed a...
