1. Anybody else feel pre-reqs are easy?

   f1ourish posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   First off, I want to state I am in no way bragging here and trying to make myself sound ultra smart and whatnot when it comes to pre-reqs. But... So I'm currently nearly a month into my first pre-reqs (A&P I, lifespan development, prob/stats, nur...

2. Curious--How many hours do you spend studying per subject?

   f1ourish replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm currently taking A&P I, Intro to Psychology, Lifespan Development, Probability/Statistics, and Nutrition at a community college. So far my classes aren't hard at all- the hardest is A&P, which is easy-peasy save for memorization. So....le...

3. Nashville State CC- UGH!

   f1ourish posted a topic in Tennessee

   Alright, I have to vent about this. I've been dealing with this all summer and everytime I get one problem solved, another one pops up. So I'm attending NSCC to complete my pre-reqs this fall and spring 09. As a college graduate, I (foolishly) figure...

   f1ourish replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   1. I'm applying to Belmont University. Maybe TSU too, but Belmont is my absolute top choice. 2. I actually haven't started my pre-reqs yet (1.5 weeks, I'm getting nervous!) but I got a 3.5 in my first BA....So hopefully I'll improve Belmont requires...

6. I didn't get into my program.

   f1ourish replied to gemberly's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good luck applying to those different schools. Maybe I'm just used to schools using GPAs for admissions, but that seems like a strange system. And...this is going to sound ultra cheesy, but maybe this means something even better for you is going to ...

7. Do you need a Laptop?

   f1ourish replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have a laptop, and honestly whenever I took it to class--admittedly in upper-division English classes, not science-- I invariably ended up surfing the internet and zoning out the lecture. If you think you might have that problem I wouldn't take a l...

   I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied to my original post. I think I'm gonna go to school and talk to them to see what I can do. Hopefully I can stuck with us and be able to be a nurse. Thanks for all the encouragement and advice!

10. Can I become a nurse with vision impairment?

    f1ourish posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've recently begun trying to go back to school for a second degree in nursing. I'm really excited about it, but I have a major concern- I don't have the greatest eyesight. I've worn glasses since I was 11 months old, and have to have them to get ar...

11. To work or not to work?

    f1ourish replied to f1ourish's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies. I think I'm just going to work every summer and break, then take the first semester off to see how the courseload is. If it seems manageable I'll go back to work. Honestly, I'd like to work, but after ...

    f1ourish posted a topic in General Students

    So I just applied to a local community college and will hopefully be starting there this fall in a bridge program that lets you complete nursing pre-reqs at community college and then transfer to Belmont. I'm a second degree student (just had to have...

14. What should I do to get a 2nd degree?!

    f1ourish replied to f1ourish's topic in ADN/BSN

    thanks for the replies. I was thinking of doing a direct entry Master's program, but the only one I could go to (since I can't drive) would be at Vanderbilt. And, much as I'd love to go to Vandy, I honestly don't see myself getting in, even if I did...

15. What should I do to get a 2nd degree?!

    f1ourish posted a topic in ADN/BSN

    Hi everyone. I've seen quite a few second degree/non-traditional studnets here, so I figured i'd ask for some advice. I'm graduating with a BA in English this May, and much as I love it, there's no way I'll be able to get any decent job with it, or r...
