I am doing well :) I am finishing up my second semseter of NS and so far have a 4.0. I am borderline in med-surg with a 92, so hopefully I can do well on my final. But like others said, if you can't...

When I got in (Fall of 2012) the average accepted GPA was a 3.7. I got in with a 3.91, however, we did not have to submit TEAS scores so that may make a difference for you all.

Honestly, I didn't (and still WOULDN'T even after going through the experience) study a thing in preparation Take these last few months of freedom you have an enjoy it!! I am a student at St....

Hello! I am currently a 2nd semester student at Saint Luke's. I'd be happy to give you some information! So far my experience has been pretty average. Since the school is "hybrid" first semester I...

Chemistry, if it's taken in the summer, but overall....COLLEGE ALGEBRA.

Oh my gosh, I can totally relate! I am now in my second semester of NS but last semester was hell! During my first semster, my parents were BOTH diagnosed with cancer... My mom with skin CA (which...

Great! Thank you so much :)

I still use the mlxgtt/time... then to find units/hr just multiply gtt/min x 60min. To find mls/hr just do ml/60min

Hey everyone, Just out of curiosity, what are new grads in the KC area starting at these days?

Well unfortunatly, I don't have a choice. My school makes you take particular classes each semester and 2nd semester we have 6 classes equaling 15 or 16 credit hours. First semester was the same and...

Hi guys, I will be in my 2nd semester of NS starting in January and will be taking med surg along with 5 other classes. I have heard varied opinions on med surg and just want your take. What...

Chemistry was my most difficult prereq. Pulled an A off at the last second, but BARELY. I'd have to say the worst nursing class so far has been Health Assessment. My teacher expected us to know...

Total undergrad GPA : 3.6 Total Prereq GPA: 3.92 Total Nursing school GPA : 4.0 after the first semester :) I am in a BSN program

I agree with X_factor. Chemistry is challanging by itself, as are all of the other classes you've mentioned. If you are trying to raise your GPA I think taking Chem over the summer is the way to go :)

I use: ml x gtts / time. Works great, and really simple!

Congrats! I too, just completed my first semester and like you I feel accomplished! Lolita, I am in a BSN program and we had 6 classes our first semester. Patho/Pharm, Fundamentals, Skills Lab,...

One of the best thing you can do in clinicals is to SEEK OUT OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN! If you see a nurse going to perform a procedure and you are not busy, ask if you can help or at the very least,...

I didn't start pre reqs until I was 22. I had a baby and wanted to wait until she was a little older, because I was a single mom. I am now 25 and will be starting my 2nd semester of a BSN program in...

There is also St. Luke's, which offers a BSN and has several hospitals in the area. I currently attend the school and it is great, although, it is more pricey than others. They have an AMAZING...

Rubato is right, however, not all schools require a drug test. Mine did not.

Don't let people intimidate you. I have my GED and it didn't effect me at all when applying to NS. I applied at 3 schools (CCs and University) and got into all three. As long as you have at least 12...

You should always document what you see. If you don't it will come back to haunt you. If the condition is worsening at any time, document it and report it to the pt's physician.

Sweet-wild-rose, what makes my school hybrid is that the class time they took away from us has been replaced by online learning. We do much more online learning than in class learning. Maybe I wasn't...

Sorry, I made a typo in the original post. We have one hour in lab every other week. The weeks we are not in lab, we are in clinical. I just don't feel that I get enough hands on time in either...
