1. Rejected to Accelerated BSN program, should I consider an Associates?

   flygirl117 replied to enfermera2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Definitely consider an ASN program! That's what happened to me, actually. I got waitlisted at my local ABSN program and didn't want to wait another year to possibly get accepted. Money has also been tight recently, so this is also the cheaper alte...

2. Advice for certain classes??

   flygirl117 replied to Shblondie71's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In many schools, General Chemistry is a pre-requisite for Organic Chemistry. I took both and organic chem was incredibly difficult. General chem reviewed and built upon high school chem, but orgo was a whole new beast. We use principles of general ch...

   flygirl117 replied to WayneKerr's topic in General Nursing

   I wouldn't count it out quite yet. Nursing wasn't something I always wanted to do, but after years went by and I didn't feel satisfied with my job and thought I could do something more with my life, I decided to go back to school. I had an idea of ...

4. Dear future nursing students,

   flygirl117 replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

   I think you misunderstood my post. I'm not at all offended by this thread. But thanks for trying to call me out on that... So, to clarify, the "you" in my post was the general you. I was simply venting about my experience with others in my class who...

5. Dear future nursing students,

   flygirl117 replied to BeeFree963's topic in General Students

   I personally feel like I'm tired of apologizing for making good grades and having extra study time because I don't have work, or have family to worry about. I made a choice to put myself in the most optimal position for achieving good grades. I'm sor...

6. What do you do when you feel burned out?

   flygirl117 posted a topic in General Students

   What do you do during finals when you feel completely burned out? It's just one more exam, but I have no desire to do any kind of studying! Anyone have any good suggestions? Maybe take a day off from studying? Suck it up?

8. I am excited and terrified at the same time.

   flygirl117 replied to tdom7444's topic in General Students

   Are you a perfectionist? Some of us are like that in my program too. We want to do so well that we're scared to try because what if we fail... But, everyone has one thing in common: none of us have been in nursing school before. The subject matter is...

   flygirl117 replied to Nicki7701's topic in Florida

   They didn't take anyone off the wait list last year. I went to another info session in the fall and and they told us that everyone who got accepted last year ended up attending. I considered reapplying for this year, but started at VCC and didn't wan...

    flygirl117 replied to jewelspassion's topic in General Students

    Enjoy your "free time" before nursing school starts. (Even if you're still taking classes now.... you have no idea how much work you're going to be doing come the fall!) I started reading a few weeks before the semester started, which gave me a ...

    I've never been so tired in my life. And I've done the 4 year degree thing already, I've done the working full time while finishing that degree, but this nothing I've ever experienced before. And I'm in an ASN program. I work 16 hours, only on the ...

    flygirl117 replied to VegetasGRL03RN's topic in General Students

    We have an optional assignment that is given to one class in nursing I but not the other. I'm in the class that was given the optional assignment. I'm doing it because I feel like the more practice I get the better. The more exposure I get to differ...
