3. Why go into nursing? is it for the money or for other reasons

   Texas247365 replied to love7777's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No one doesn't take money as a factor. Some are more dollar oriented then others, but no one works for free, and there is a reason that no one stops at CNA (after all, if we are talking patient care, the "I really want to help people" type of care, t...

4. Keeping my scholarship, making the grade

   Texas247365 posted a topic in General Students

   Hello all, this one might be a novel, sorry. I recently have been awarded a full ride merit scholarship from my nursing school that pays for every school I have, room, board, books, tuition, fees; the whole nine yards. I still don't feel like I earne...

5. Do they look at high school transcipts??

   Texas247365 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   From what he said DOs are looked down upon by MD's because the requirements are lower for DO schools and there are now some for profit DO schools.

6. Do they look at high school transcipts??

   Texas247365 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, some nursing schools do look at HS transcripts and ACT/SAT scores if they are within the last 5 years. However, in your situation I dont think good grades in HS, no matter the classes, are going to forgive doing poorly in college, the only thing...

7. Need Some Help Figuring Out Program Differences

   Texas247365 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The transitional one sets you up to transfer to an associated college (Lamar and University of Texas) to get your BSN. Other than that (and the one credit hour difference that I just dont have the time to find) they are the same AKAIK.

8. Grades... bad

   Texas247365 replied to AndyLorentz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What moon said. It may seem like an easy way out to pretend that you had never been to school before, but they can check. And intergrity violations are career enders.

9. OK..Be honest

   Texas247365 replied to jazzyrose's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Taking it a third time would still give you a C for the course, you would have to take it twice more (total of four times) to get a B, and really repeating a course once you have an A seems pointless to me (an A proves you knew 90%(ish) of the course...

10. Gender = advantage?

    Texas247365 replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing

    How can you just come out and say that if they go by test scores and GPA that men might have an advantage, especially if they are strong in math and science? How do test scores or GPA set men apart from women? I can see scores setting those that get ...

11. Gender = advantage?

    Texas247365 replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Females across the board are over represented in colleges but that doesn't affect the enrollment chances of a male. This is the way it should be, no perferental treatment based on race or sex. Let the most qualified applicants have the spot and no co...

12. High school graduate - preparation for pre-nursing

    Texas247365 replied to cadarrius's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Like singdance said, take a break, recharge your batteries and have a fun summer, you will have plenty of time to get up to speed as the courses ramp up.

13. Are we a dime a dozen?

    Texas247365 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is not the people that you see that you are in competition with, it is the people that you dont see. Honestly you should look to your classmates as people to work with, not against. Those older students are there to help you if you ask them, and n...

14. Any guys color blind? (Girls are welcome too!)

    Texas247365 replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Male Students

    Just took that test and I am red green color blind, which is funny as the military never id'ed me as such. I can see red and green (stoplights and the like are no issue, but light pink and light green from gray...), but like I said before the light s...

15. Any guys color blind? (Girls are welcome too!)

    Texas247365 replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Male Students

    Umm I disagree that it is not a disablilty. In micro I could not tell the faint red from faint gree in a spore stain. Luckily I was able to tell based on structure, but even then it was a guess. I am not completely colorblind but have some impairment...
