2. What is a "titer result"?

   Nikki422 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

   DEFINITELY go to your local health department if you need to have titers drawn..mine saved me a small fortune last year as my health insurance wouldn't pay for titers and I was required to have them..some of my classmates paid several hundred $$, but...

3. Average GPA

   Nikki422 replied to Mya87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   ...I agree with everyone else who says that it depends on the program. You may want to call and ask them what is considered competitive, for this year. Depending on the applicant pool, it can change drastically from year to year. I was accepted in...

   Nikki422 replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey Jewels.. :) Well, I can't speak for all programs but I know that mine didn't have saturday clinicals at all, not even for graduate programs. They were all during the week (some pretty undogly hours at times, lol) but not the weekends. However,...

   Nikki422 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm still waiting on three..I've got one acceptance so far..but, it's more along the lines of my safety fall back program, but I did just get a 50% academic scholarship to that program, so that's nice. :) I should be getting one more this month, on...

   Nikki422 replied to Jegra's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I also applied as a transfer to the regular BSN program..the only thing that bothers me about NYU is they require everyone to submit high school transcripts..Umm..ew. The one admissions person that I spoke to though just said I need to submit them b...

    Nikki422 replied to cmullerRN's topic in General Students

    This may sound a little bit odd..but..constipation. I had to teach five senior citizens about it during my community health clinical. We were assigned topics and at first I was really dreading it, but..in reality..it went REALLY well. I focused it...

11. Nursing Students... Did you take....

    Nikki422 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    I took an online med terminology class the semester before I started my program. I can honestly say that it helped me a great deal..so many people struggled with a lot of the terms, and still do! It's not a very time consuming class so if you have ...

    Nikki422 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I can't even stalk the mailman for some of my decisions, because they come by email. I had myself convinced that my inbox was full of read messages so I deleted EVERYTHING..when I still didn't get anything, well..I might have stooped to the level of...

13. Cinical uniform..love it or hate it?

    Nikki422 replied to CT Pixie's topic in General Students

    The nice thing about all white scrubs is that you can bleach them and they're good as new. :) That is until you over bleach them and they adopt that oh so lovely yellowish tinge.. My program had all navy blue scrubs that were ridiculously heavy. I...

    Nikki422 replied to dunkinut's topic in Pennsylvania

    The biggest problem with studying from older tests is the fact that SO many programs keep re-using the same tests, semester after semester, year after year. Most of my instructors won't even let us leave the room with an exam booklet, either acciden...
