I would suggest seeking counsel. Contact a lawyer familiar in manners related to criminal records, probation, etc. as it relates to nursing licensure in your particular state.

1) Yes, you can rent or buy your textbooks online. Amazon, half.com, etc. 2) My experience with paying for school has been that you pay for each semester as you progress. You register for classes,...

Like a PP already, utilize your professors office hours. Your professors don't want you to fail! Hopefully they can offer you specifics on what to focus on (i.e. harder topics). Also, my university...

A lot of problems were conversions. Granted I took the test almost 3 years ago, but I don't really remember any difficult word problems. I would know metric to metric conversions (based on system of...

Nursing school is quite stressful! I'm inclined to say relax and enjoy your summer! You will have more than enough to focus on when the fall semester starts. That being said... If you are planning...

Where I live, the health dept. provides vaccinations at a seriously discounted rate for low-income persons/families. My vaccines ended up costing me less than half of what they would have. I would...

You should be very proud! Congratulations!!

1. Brush up on your A&P. If you know how things "normally" function, it makes it much easier to understand disease processes. Nothing crazy, just review each body system as you progress to diseases...

I agree with zoe92. Since you are already applying for different programs across the country, why not apply for more? I have a Bachelor's in Biology from 2009. After several years in the hearing aid...

I think it is a good idea to at least make a 'working list' of potential nursing schools you may attend. This way you can check out what pre-reqs you will need for which programs. Many pre-reqs are...

Good point TWiersch! I was under the impression that you meant you were planning to (physically) move to the US to attend an accelerated BSN program. If your thoughts were to do a "distance...

I attend a university in Texas. (Midwestern State University.) I hold a previous bachelors in biology. I am currently in a traditional BSN program, but the university I attend just recently added an...

I would put n/a. You never had a part-time job or anything in high school that you can mention? I understand if you don't, but if you have ever had any job of any kind, I would mention it. If you...

Yay! Congrats!!

I have a lot of friends who didn't pass so I can't talk to many of my classmates about this (dont want to make anyone feel bad) but I had to tell someone... I made straight A's this semester! Made an...

Nearly impossible? Maybe...but not completely impossible! I will agree with you that it would be quite the feat to make a 64/65 on the final (98.46 %), but it is still possible! Don't give up yet!...

Like the last poster said, if there are 50 Q's on the test then you will need to make a 100. (2 pts per question. Since you said you can only miss 1 point, you can't miss any if the test has 50 Q's.)...

Clinical experiences do not count as past employment. I recommend that you do not list your clinical experiences under the past employment section. (They are not the same! Clinicals are an unpaid...

90-100 = A 80-89 = B 74-79 = C Anything less than 74.0 = fail No rounding of grades. (i.e. a final course grade of 73.9 does not round up and fails you for that course.)

Spend the extra time with your kids over the summer. Unfortunately, you (probably) won't have much free time to spend with them once you start NS. Best of luck!

My BSN will cost me around $28,000. I attend a public university in Texas.

I wear regular ol' Nikes. I recommend buying some Dr. Scholl's insoles and some compression socks. My feet are fine after 12 hours of standing since I started wearing compression socks and insoles.

Have you thought about taking Medical Terminology or Nutrition? I needed more hours (a few semesters ago) in order to be full-time and qualify for maximum financial aid. I already had 3 psych...

I entered my BSN program with a 3.25 GPA. I am about to finish my 3rd (of 5) semesters of nursing classes. I made an A in Intro to Nursing, an A in Health Assessment, an A in Nursing Statistics, an A...

I am with the majority of posters. I am in my 3rd (of 5) semesters in a BSN program. The only thing we did on each other was test blood glucose levels. Other than that, we did not practice on each...
