   Illmatic posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys, my NPI instructed our class to bring an object that represents Nursing... it cannot be something very obvious (stethoscope, text books, bandages, etc), any suggestions? Thanks!

2. RN pre req GPA

   Illmatic replied to GivingLove's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Retake classes or take additional classes to raise your cumulative GPA. I would imagine the nursing program you want to apply for would at have a set requirement GPA of 3.0+. Nevertheless, don't give up if this is what you really want to do as a ca...

4. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

   Illmatic replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

   I don't tell my grades to anyone.. just the "I did okay". Telling your grades, whether they are excellent or terrible can bring unnecessary drama or resentment from your classmates... especially if you're in a really really competitive program.

7. How to cope as a new nurse

   Illmatic replied to Lotus737's topic in Stress 101

   I suggest you look into mediation. Yeah I know it kind of sounds like some hippy/monk nonsense. but there is a good reason why mediation has been around for thousands of years. I suffer from anxiety at times, and nothing has helped more than media...

   Illmatic replied to phieud's topic in Male Students

   Wearing scrubs at the gym would be nastyyy... especially if you get a good quality work out, imagine the sweat that soaks through your scrubs... not that appealing for the chicks eh?

    Illmatic replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Weird that you guys have a separate course for Microbiology. In Canada, at my University they combine Micro with A&P I and A&P II... Congrats whoever got a A!! You guys are one step closer in process of getting into NS!!

12. Need help deciding classes for next semester!!

    Illmatic replied to cpoynter's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also second that you shouldn't take any science courses together in one term.. especially if they require labs. Anything like English or Psychology would be good.. technically you can call Psychology a 'science' course, but personally I found that...

13. major setback

    Illmatic replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was rejected once from admission... absolutely crushed me mentally. However, I didn't see myself doing anything else career wise.. so I manned up... spend some $ on courses, improved my grades and got in the second time. Don't give up.. if I can ...

14. Is this insane?

    Illmatic replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Your priority should be getting the highest pre-req grades you can possibly get. Nursing school admission ain't no joke. A couple B's can hinder your chances getting into a program... which can set you back a few months or even a year before you can...

15. What am I doing wrong?

    Illmatic replied to masek77's topic in Men

    3 months? It took my cousins 8-10 months to find a job... and it was a 'casual' position. I'm a Nursing student, so finding employment after I graduate some times crosses my mind. I noticed though, if you look through the forums here it's pretty c...
