Books, books, books! Lucky you! I so badly want to get mine. They're probably at the bookstore, but I have to wait for my loan to kick in before I can purchase them. I remember before I got accepted...

Haha, I felt very similar. I remember after I had my interview for nursing school, they told me that the letter would come in three weeks. I felt like that was a precise number, so I was expecting...

I chose BSN for several reasons. Most hospitals in my area have went magnet. While the ADN-BSN bridge program seemed like a good idea on paper, I wondered if I would even be able to get a job with an...

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on your journey as well :).

You're absolutely right, but for whatever reason I let that woman that confronted me get inside my head. My mom will sometimes say things that I don't appreciated too like, "It's too bad you didn't...

I can't really say I know much about all this non-accreditation thing going on at Tri-C. Most of the pre-nursing students that I know from my pre-req classes didn't seem too concerned about it,...

I was never a math and science person. Science wasn't too bad because I've always found it pretty interesting, but the math that comes with some sciences scared me. Throughout grade school, high...

Wow, this thread sure got heated! I've been rushing to get my pre-reqs done. I've taken just about all of them at an accelerated pace in half the time they would have normally taken. It's made me...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I thought that the traditional BSN was better for me for a couple of reasons. First off, I'm already in quite of bit debt as is. I would need to get a private...

About a year ago after I graduated with a previous bachelors degree, I decided to go back to school for nursing. To most people, it would seem obvious that I would have wanted an ABSN program. ...

I relied very heavily on youtube for that course, in particular this guy's videos: Tyler DeWitt - YouTube He writes every step of an equation out and explains it very slowly.

My college had a pre-req for the course. I had taken an upper level chem course, so I had the science department waive the pre-req (I think it was a bio-chem class or something like that). Every...

Thank you for the informative response! It's a little over a week until the application deadline, so my anxiety is through the roof. I know there's nothing I can do to make the days pass faster, but...

I don't think that's an unreasonable amount of time to study. I generally studied for 2-4 hours every day for A&P and managed to get an A. Like others have suggested, though, maybe you should rethink...

I'm sure every school out there is different, but I was curious to hear other people's experiences. Do nursing schools typically wait until after the application deadline to call you? What if you...

We couldn't be more similar! I have a previous BS in an unrelated field. I decided about half a year ago I wanted to go back to school for nursing. The problem: I have about 40k in debt and I'm...

Relocating would only be an option after I get a job, so I hope the waitlist isn't that bad. Ideally, I wouldn't want to relocate because it's an added expense. Living at home for me is free right...

I have a bachelors degree in art history, but I quickly discovered that I had little interest in pursuing this path. I decided I wanted to go back to school for nursing. I'm two semesters away from...

I'm leaning towards asking my former art history advisor/professor. I took five courses with him over the span of two years, so I felt like he adequately got to know me and my academic strengths....

I've never asked them for a recommendation before, so I don't know how either of them write. I guess my biggest question is, does it really matter if the professor's subject is really unrelated...

I'm actually not allowed to see the recommendations. I have to give them an addressed envelope and they send it in. I wonder if that policy is typical.

I'm getting ready to apply to my school of choice and I need two letters of recommendation. Seeing as I have no real prior work or volunteer experience, I was going to ask some of my professors. ...
