1. Where to study?

   ryanalice replied to ruzhyo's topic in General Students

   I know what you mean. I'm the same way and struggling with it too. One thing that could work is if you set up a room or area that is just for school work. Ideal would be that you could close the door - or at least make it seperate somehow. (Curtain, ...

2. Ask me anything!

   ryanalice replied to missmollie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm just finishing up my 2nd semester of nursing school. (And 1st semester of clinical.) I find it is really hard. There is just so much material and there are no shortcuts to learning it all for the tests. I'm going to try to really stay ahead of...

3. Single mother and nursing student

   ryanalice replied to lakeisha87's topic in General Students

   I am a single mom and am in nursing school now. Not gonna lie, it is hard! I chose to cut back on work and take out some loans. I'm not thrilled about the debt, but my kids have a lot going on right now and need me around, so I knew I couldn't wor...

   ryanalice replied to driven2012's topic in General Students

   Ahh I really want to get it! Do you guys who got the award all have good credit? I'm just wondering how heavily they weigh that. I think I am a pretty competitive applicant (efc 0, gpa 3.78) but my credit is spotty due to a couple of isolated inciden...

5. Testing out of A&P

   ryanalice replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

   You might be able to take both a&p 1 and a&p 2 back to back in the summer. I did it last summer and it was hard, but doable. There are a bunch of pre-reques to nursing school - not really any way around that.

9. Baby Steps to a Nursing Program?

   ryanalice replied to willacatheter's topic in Massachusetts

   Most nursing programs (whether BSN or ADN) do look a lot at grades. So the best thing would be to sign up to take some college classes and get good grades in them. Maybe just try to take one or two to start, and work really hard in them. You could...

    In my state (Massachusetts) there is a program where you can be on unemployment if you are in an "approved training program" to make a new career. There are certain criteria.
