1. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

   RNurseAng replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Student Assist

   Now we're stereotyping 4.0 students as lousy nurses with no common sense? Very nice. Yes, there is a lot to be said for experience, but I'm pretty sure that goes for all students and graduate nurses. I don't know why there is such a negative stigma...

2. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

   RNurseAng replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Student Assist

   Wow! Why does everybody on here assume that you have to give up your family life to get the A? I have a family and 4 kids, I took my last lecture exam yesterday, and I got a 4.0 in all of my nursing classes, while managing to also have a great family...

3. How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

   RNurseAng replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Student Assist

   Same for my school... less than an 80 is failing... and no rounding, so yes, a 79.9 is failing, and you would have to reapply the next year! I personally always strive high, cause it's in my nature. I don't want to kill somebody someday cause I worke...

4. Any LSCC Students?

   RNurseAng replied to RNurseAng's topic in Florida

   There is no waitlist, acceptance is dependent upon good grades and your HESI score. They usually accept about 72 students per year, between both campuses, and if you don't get in the first time you apply, you must reapply the following year, and you ...

   Nope... I did it and got an "A" in both! Good luck!!

6. Any LSCC Students?

   RNurseAng replied to RNurseAng's topic in Florida

   1 - I am currently a second year, so I can't speak personally, but I can tell you that last year LSCC had 100% pass rate, and the highest scores in the state. So far this year, every student that I know, that has taken it, has passed, so I'd say they...

7. Any LSCC Students?

   My advise is not to sweat the HESI... It's basic Math and reading comprehension. Just do your best! Sounds like your GPA is great; that combined with a good HESI should get you in... Good luck! Angela

8. Venting about classmates with families...

   RNurseAng replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

   Yes, we all have our own sets of problems, and yes, having children does complicate going to school... but despite the hardships, they are worth everything, and most mothers would tell you that they are back in school for their kids... to give them a...

9. Geared up and ready to go!

   RNurseAng replied to Icaria's topic in General Students

   I'm glad I'm not the only one so excited! It has been a total count down for me. We start classes on Tuesday and I am more than prepared! I have my uniforms, shoes, steth, books, etc... I am already two weeks into my reading... tell me that doesn't m...

10. Anyone else going crazy waiting for nursing school to begin?

    RNurseAng replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Students

    I am also anxiously awaiting the start of classes, which for me is August 26th. I have taken two summer courses, just finished the first, and am half way through Statistics now. I cannot wait! I have started buying my books, uniforms are bought, as ...

11. Lost a friend in the process...

    RNurseAng replied to RNurseAng's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's so funny that you said that, cause that is exactly what I have been telling myself. She came into my life, motivated me on my path back to school, and now she is gone. She served a very important purpose in my life, and it is time to move on. Th...

12. Lost a friend in the process...

    RNurseAng replied to RNurseAng's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Unfortunately, I have offered to help her research certain things and tried offering suggestions that I was considering as a plan "B," however, she told me that she didn't want my help; that I just make her feel stupid. The other day I tried calling ...

    I will definitely keep you in my prayers! So as a finished student... Do you have any advise for us? Angela

14. Lost a friend in the process...

    RNurseAng replied to RNurseAng's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I know you are right and I will not let her ruin this for me. This is a dream come true for me, and I couldn't be more excited about it! It's just always hard when you lose a friend; or maybe better said in t...

15. Lost a friend in the process...

    RNurseAng posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I guess this is really just to vent, but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation. I had a really good friend going into applying for the nursing program. We were attending the same school, taking pre-reqs, and applied for the progr...
