At my school micro was by far the easiest pre-req. I don't think anyone dropped (but I took it in summer so the semester was only 4 weeks). But my school has A&P I as a pre-req for micro so maybe the weeding out was done there. I do know tha...
I start the nursing program "proper" at my school in Jan. So I can't say what, if any, semester in nursing school is the weed out one. However, my A&P I instructor said that he was the "gate keeper" for entrance into the nursing school, implyi...
You husband probably doesn't have any idea what you do, I know I didn't. However, he will learn. Give him time to learn it his way. I was in a similar (but worse) situation that your husband. My (now-ex) wife went on what my daughter euphemisti...
Great story, very similar to mine. I have a 20 year old BA degree with a less than stellar GPA. But I did very well on the TEAS and the Critical Thinking Skills test my school makes all nursing applicants take. I have a 4.0 on all the pre-req clas...
I applied to only one, but applied twice. I was denied the first time, probably because I had no grade for A&P I, or II or Micro. I reapplied after taking (and making A's) in these classes and start Spring. I intended to apply to at least one ...
When I have classes that require application type understanding (as opposed to rote memorization) I find doing practice problems helpful. Study the material until you think you have a good grasp on it, then find sample problems to do until you know ...
Each state has different requirements, however, in my state, the state run psych hospitals do not require any training or experience to work as a med tech (CNA type work). I know because my last job before Nursing School was in the HR dept. of a sta...
Exactly! You can't really fake caring (which is why I put "fake it" in quotes) I genuinely care for people, which is why I am going into nursing. But you can roll play being outgoing and "warm and fuzzy". (INTJ here too)
Since you are still in HS, I recommend taking drama classes in college or even just participating in drama activity. Drama has really helped me to come out of my shell, and to "fake it" when I don't exactly feel sociable.
I am just a nursing student. BUT before I was a nursing student, I was in HR, and most of the work I did in HR was in employee relations, and a good deal of that was in a hospital (it was working in the hospital that gave me the nursing bug.) In o...
My guess is the reason for the harsh reaction is the "falsification of medical records" accusation. Prior to going to nursing school, I was in hospital HR. Falsifying records was one of the few "instant fire" infractions and one of the even fewer t...
