1. Does anyone else feel this way?

   quirk replied to brittward's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can't help but feel like everyone on this thread should be more self congratulatory. Holy $h!t think of all of the things you're balancing right now but you're doing it! It's exhausting and draining and there are setbacks and naysayers, and yes, th...

   Have you ever seen the TED Talk called "Power Poses" given by Amy Cuddy? She's a social scientist who's done research in the area of nonverbal communication (e.g. Body language) and the physiology behind it. It's really interesting and applicable to ...

6. Denied

   quirk replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with SopranoKris! Try again when you're all done with your pre-reqs! Another thing to look into is whether or not your letters of recommendation are, in fact, good. That could really sink you. Anecdote alert! I've heard of applicants unknowi...

7. Have I screwed up my chances to get into a nursing program?

   quirk replied to SamanthajCosta's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At my school, so long as you 'drop' within the first two weeks of classes, the course wouldn't show up on your transcript--there would be no record of you having ever even signed up for it! After the two week grace period however, changes to a cours...
