3. Nursing Student Friendliness Versus Friendliness of Students in other Majors.

   coleyoley replied to Healthnutiam's topic in General Students

   I start my ABSN program in January, but there is a BSN program at my current university where I'm getting my public health degree at and I've definitely heard that the vibe in the program is cutthroat. I applied, but haven't heard back and I'm pretty...

4. Loyola University ABSN Fall 2017 Admits

   coleyoley replied to heebiejeebies's topic in School Programs

   Do you remember how long after you got accepted it took them to further communicate with you on what the next steps are? I was accepted a week ago for Spring 2018 and haven't recieved any info on my next steps. I talked to my admissions counselor but...

5. Loyola University ABSN Fall 2017 Admits

   coleyoley replied to heebiejeebies's topic in School Programs

   I was just accepted for Spring 2018 at the Maywood campus. I have a 3.46 undergraduate GPA (Public Health), but I never calculated my prerequisite GPA for Loyola. I had mostly As and Bs in all of my classes, minus a C in an organic chemistry lab and ...

6. Recommended credits to take each semester?

   coleyoley replied to bt123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For full time I'd say 12-15 credits per semester. At my school, 12 is full time and 15 is required for scholarships and financial aid through the university unless you get special permission but even my advisor said she would never recommend a pre-nu...

   coleyoley replied to krrbrr's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I'm currently in a communications class for my com requirement, a soc class for my behavioral science, and A&P I. I'm taking micro and ochem over summer and I'll be taking A&P II when I apply to ...

8. What if you don't get into a nursing program?

   coleyoley replied to knnyz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'll probably get my degree in community health sciences or human development & family studies. If I was able to find a job where I go to school at now, I'd stay in the area and apply as a second degree seeking student to our nursing program beca...

9. to email or not Admissions Director

   coleyoley replied to dcwang's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't think it's a good idea. They probably have a lot of applications and if everyone emailed him/her, that's an additional thing that they have to consider. If your grades aren't as good enough as all the other applicants it doesn't matter whethe...

10. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    coleyoley replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't see how the two have any sort of correlation. Your eating habits are your choice, just like your patients' eating habits will be theirs. As long as you don't tell your patients to go vegan, the two have absolutely nothing to do with one anoth...

11. UNR Orvis School Of Nursing

    coleyoley replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Nevada

    I'm a current student at Nevada and it truly is competitive, especially if you didn't graduate from a Nevada high school. I had a friend who applied this past fall with a 3.6 or 3.7 I believe and was rejected before the interview process for his GPA.

12. A&P 1 lecture or lab? Whats harder?

    coleyoley replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking it this semester as well and from what I've heard lecture is pretty difficult because you have to know all the functions, where as in lab it's just repetition.

13. What prerequisites did you take/ are you taking?

    coleyoley replied to Crumble's topic in Pre-Nursing

    So far I've taken: General Chemistry Intro to Molecular and Cellular Biology (not a pre-req for nursing school but for the other bio classes) Lifespan Development Nutrition Core Math Anatomy & Physiology I Communications A Behavioral Science El...

14. Is a B in A&P bad?

    coleyoley replied to mdiada's topic in Pre-Nursing

    A B is a good grade, but it really depends on the program(s) you want to apply to. Personally, in the program I want to apply to, most students would retake it. My advisor told me that I want to shoot for at least a 3.9 because I didn't graduate from...

15. Possible to do both?

    coleyoley replied to coleyoley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't completely figured whether or not I'd do both part time. I want to do both because neonatology has always been my main interest. I've always wanted to do it and couldn't imagine not working in a NICU. L&D has always really interested me...
