1. New Nurse at 63 - Too Old?

   cadrea replied to aimee32907's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not a nurse but as someone who is starting late in life as well (46) and as someone who has had a long and successful career in business I'll offer you this: never ask others what they think the possibilities are for YOUR life. Most people can't ...

2. BMCC Nursing Program Spring 2017

   cadrea replied to newyork2016's topic in School Programs

   I'm getting nervous reading these post because I didn't do very well on the Kaplan (70%) but I'm hoping my 4.0 GPA and my bachelors degree count in their deciding process. I didn't really prepare for the exam therefore I'm prepared to accept an unfav...

3. Looking for nursing school

   cadrea replied to brooke2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Futurenurseinfo thanks for responding because I was scratching my head by the response that Accelerated nursing programs were for people who have nursing experience. I am currently applying to several accelerated programs in my area because I have a...

4. Im just so tired of school

   cadrea replied to nishey94's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Bostons I am in complete agreement with you! This isn't the first time I have seen these types of responses from people who have supposedly dedicated their lives to helping others. How is it that people who have been trained to pick up on subtle sign...

5. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

   cadrea replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have proof that you sent the entire assignment and she made the error by not seeing it, l can't imagine she wouldn't regrade such an error. The next step is alerting her to the mistake, which you have obviously done. If by some chance she resp...

6. Do school offer their two year program if you are not accepted into their Accelerated prog

   cadrea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Although I expect the response to my question will vary from school to school, I'm hoping to get some feedback from anyone who may have personal experiences with this. I am in the process of apply to several accelerated programs but I find myself hav...

7. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

   cadrea replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm hoping I have the same experience as you because my first Stats test is Tuesday. My professor is amazing and I feel very confident which is huge since this and Chemistry were my two most feared courses. I slid by Chemistry in the summer with a B+...

8. What was your hardest prerequisite course?

   cadrea replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My toughest courses were AP II and Microbiology (presently taking). What I can say is that the professor teaching the course will make all the difference in the world. These are the only two professors that I had no say in getting. All of my other pr...

9. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

   cadrea replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking my last two prerequisites: Microbiology and Statistics and I'm devoting every single free moment I have towards getting As. Its been a long and difficult road and a little scary considering I'm not even in a nursing program yet. However, I...

10. Am I not meant to be a nurse?

    cadrea replied to mimi1317's topic in Pre-Nursing

    First, understand this...If you really want to be a nurse you will become one. Perhaps you may not get admitted into the programs you want but if you apply elsewhere, an institution will see your worth. Secondly, you started this so if you really wan...

11. Im just so tired of school

    cadrea replied to nishey94's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Nishey94 let me start by saying that you are not alone in your feelings. Secondly, I'm a bit taken aback by some of the callous responses I have read to a young person struggling with life. My advice to you is that you take a real hard look at what a...

12. To The Girl Thinking of Becoming a Nurse (a note to myself at 17)

    cadrea replied to BobiJo's topic in General Nursing

    I thought this article was very helpful and I was moved in reading it...only to be saddened by those who chose to take something positive and attempt to add their negativity. I am so sick of those who aren't believers constantly waging war on those w...

13. HESI A2 - Math portion

    cadrea replied to caalexan's topic in HESI

    Like you, I'm concerned about my math proficiency after so many years of being out of school. Rather than take a course I decided it made more sense to find a math professor who wants to make some side money to tutor me. That way, I get specialized a...

    cadrea replied to bettiboop___'s topic in HESI

    This was very helpful for me and you did a very thorough job of breaking it down. The HESI has been one of my biggest fears so I really appreciate your post.
