1. Traditional BSN vs ABSN?

   Jannie92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Which one is better? I'm a little confused about the pace of traditional BSN programs for second degree students. If I already have a degree in another field, and I'm doing a traditional BSN program, would it take a full 4 years to complete, or would...

2. Applying into ABSN programs - does your major matter?

   Jannie92 replied to Jannie92's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hmm maybe I should've worded it a little different. I meant to ask, does your major matter when it comes to judging your GPA? Do they take in consideration of one's major in addition to the GPA that is correlated with it?

3. Applying into ABSN programs - does your major matter?

   Jannie92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm asking this because I hear a lot of times from schools that the bachelors degree you graduated with doesn't matter, only the GPA does. But with that said, how would schools compare one candidate who has a 3.8 with a degree in a more liberal field...

4. I don't know if I can do this anymore...

   Jannie92 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   So I've been working as a CNA for about 3 months at a LTC facility during day shift from 6:30-3pm, and I am on my feet during the entire time. I don't get a chance to have a lunch, use the bathroom, or even take a sip of water during the day. And it'...

5. Going to school full time, commuting, and working as a CNA?

   Jannie92 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Is it a good idea? I attend college full-time (12 credits, although I wonder if I can do 15?) and I've decided to commute this year. My commute is about 1.5 hours to and 1.5 hours back by train, and my classes are scheduled on MWF. I also want to wo...

6. ABSN hopeful having doubts...

   Jannie92 replied to Quendi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Honestly, I would be surprised if you DIDN'T get into an ABSN progam!

7. Does taking 12 credits a semester look bad?

   Jannie92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I attend college full-time, and normally my course load consists of 16-17 credits per semester. However, this year is going to be a little different since I plan on working part time as a CNA and I will also be commuting instead of living on campu...

   Oh wow thats great! Keep up the good work :) It's always a lot better to go into finals with a high grade in the class. And I think you're gonna do fine on your second exam! Don't stress :)

    GUYS! So I thought I'd give you a little update :) Grades came back a few days ago, and I miraculously passed the class with a B+!!!!!!! Thats right...B PLUS!! The amount of exclamation marks could not possibly describe how excited I was when I found...

    Thanks guys, its nice to know that I'm not the only one in this situation! I found out that I got a 75 on my third midterm last week, which believe it or not, is actually better than I expected The average was a 76, so I know I'm not the only one in...

    Jannie92 replied to Jannie92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Nope, you're not alone! How long is your class? And at least you got a B! But I understand...the thing is, I was NOT expecting to get a C on my first exam because I actually studied and thought I had it in the bag. I actually walked out thinking I di...

    See, my professor doesn't prepare us for the exams at all. He'll go over SO much material in class, but only focus on a few of the concepts on the exams. He doesn't tell us what to really expect or focus on, so I'll try to cram and retain all the mat...

    I'm currently an undergrad healthcare risk management major who's in the process of taking prereqs for nursing after graduation. I'm taking chemistry right now in a 6 week summer course and it's literally making me re-evaluate my goal to become a nur...

    Jannie92 replied to Jannie92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Those are some really nice tips! Thanks! :) Sigh, the next midterm is in 6 days. It's crazy how fast things go! I'll hopefully do well on that so I can bring up my grade for the class.
