   Sarah812 replied to squeakercarp's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am having the same problem right now. I put that pressure on myself because I didn't do well in high school and now I think I have to have a 4.0 all the time. Somehow I have still maintained my 4.0 but... my social life is suffering, I feel ill a l...

3. Advice to become RN sooner rather than later!

   Sarah812 replied to haileigh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know you don't want to hear it, but that's what I did. I jumped right in. I moved to a city I knew nothing about last fall and enrolled in the technical college there. I did that based on the fact that my friend went to school there and has been an...

5. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

   Sarah812 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Psychology. Only for the fact that there is a lot to take in. There are a lot of concepts and definitions. Although, it must not be that hard as it is my highest scoring class. Once you take the book stuff and apply it to life, it gets easier.

7. Should I still pursue Nursing as a career even if I'm not excellent in math?

   Sarah812 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, because I am in the same situation. My school only requires basic math. I tested out of algebra for some reason but not the basic. You can get through it as everyone else that is bad at math can!

8. Anyone have trouble with psychology?

   Sarah812 replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am so glad to see I am not alone. I make notes of my notes and notes from those notes. I start with the online (mypsychlab) study guide and fill it out as I'm reading, then I take the chapter outline from class and fill that out, finally I make not...

   Sarah812 replied to Sarah812's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks guys. I've been away for a little bit. I'm in my 3rd week and it's going ok. Still a little bit of an overload but I'm getting used to it.

10. Information overload!

    Sarah812 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Rant here: I just started my first "real and full" semester as a pre-core student and I feel overwhelmed. I'm taking 9 classes, which is equal to 12 credits. I went online to get the course info and handouts and just looking around and wow! This is t...

11. How far would you drive to go to school?

    Sarah812 replied to jdelaney3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My school is a 10 minute drive. There is no way I would travel over 40 minutes, I do that for work already.

12. Schools that you dont need a TEAS to get in

    Sarah812 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in School Programs

    I can't think of any. All the schools around me require some test, mostly the NLN test.

13. Any nursing student please help???

    Sarah812 replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I did horrible in high school as well for the same reasons as the poster above me stated. I think many schools look at the fact that you graduated and what classes you have taken. Taking my school as an example, they didn't really care about my GPA. ...

14. Nursing School Waitlist

    Sarah812 replied to USANursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Perhaps, take a CNA class and work as a CNA? My school is a petition process. It goes by those who live closest to the school (odd) and if you have to get a 100 on the NLN-RN.

15. Starting A&P course tomorrow

    Sarah812 replied to CelesteR903's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sorry for the dumb question here. What would be good to put on flash cards? Vocabulary? Concepts? Large cards with diagrams I'm not starting until the summer semester though. Good luck to those that are taking the class now! Thanks.
