3. What to do after high school to become a RN/BSN in short amount of time and money?

   CupcakeMonster replied to shadowshodan's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's true, a C average won't get you into nursing school, but I've never heard someone say "Well, I am not smart so I guess I'll just go into nursing school!" It takes so much time/effort to even get into a nursing program, and then to stay in it! I ...

   CupcakeMonster replied to BSpsychtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Coming from a CNA that works as a HUC/NST in Labor and Delivery at a hospital, I would say CNA! The job opportunities here in Minnesota for a CNA in a hospital setting go QUICK, so if you want a job in a hospital... apply, apply every day if you have...

   CupcakeMonster replied to xoandi816x's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I recently got a job as a CNA at a hospital here in the Twin Cities. The position is for an NST/HUC (pretty much the same thing as a CNA, lots of responsibilities everywhere) and I can agree with most of what everyone is saying. For me, I wasn't ...

   CupcakeMonster replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

   Heya! I joined Phi Theta Kappa because it looks good on your resume, and not only that, but I get an extra 1000$ per year as a PTK scholarship. It might not sound like much, but every bit helps! Totally up to you, but the 75$ I spent inititally has p...

   CupcakeMonster replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm literally just going to apply to the same school, every semester, until I get that Biology class done for the other schools. Just seems like a long wait, but I'm in it for the long haul :)

9. Patient and hopeful, please help!

   CupcakeMonster replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh yes, I am doing pre-reqs for Nursing already. I plan on taking Physiology this summer (required for most anyway) Biology in the Fall, and Micro Biology in Spring 2013 while I'm waiting. The PA program is not as high demand as RN programs and my do...

10. I love the posts from pre-nursing students waiting to get their Acceptance letters!

    CupcakeMonster replied to Cathylady's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I too, love seeing people post about waiting :) I am playing the waiting game currently! I was denied for Spring 12, hoping for Fall 12. I do feel as though I don't have a chance, with Fall being a greater number of students applying and with much hi...

11. Patient and hopeful, please help!

    CupcakeMonster replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's difficult applying to other schools because I do not have all the pre-reqs done for all those schools. 8-12 schools?! There's not that many around here lol. I wish! I only have to the pre-reqs done for Normandale and if I wanted to apply anywher...

    CupcakeMonster replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Minnesota

    Hey Heidi! Not sure how I missed your comment!! So sorry! Thank you VERY much for your helpful and kind information. I applied to the program at Normandale for this Fall, but my GPA is .06 less than it was last semester so that is disheartening. I w...

    Hey guys! I wrote in a here a week or so ago with no response so I thought I'd try again! I have a 3.5 GPA at my current Community College, trying so desperately to get into their Nursing program, but they do not look at anything but "points" and GPA...

    Hey all! I also posted this in the MN forum but wanted to spread it out to this one as well! So - after many years of taking a break from school because I couldn't decide what to do, I am back at it (about 2 years in) and need to figure out what to...
