For the Pre-nursing students

[nurse2b marty]

Hi all pre-nursing welcome to the beautiful and scary moment of your future career! Personally I think this is the hardest part. Not only are you trying your best to get that high GPA, you’re also doing your gen ED, TEAS prepping, work and all the other million things that come with this crazy life! So here’s some things that I found really helped me during my application process!

1. Time management - time time time! It feels like this is the hardest thing because there’s simply not enough! But believe me practice this because once you start nursing school you have less than you have now .... great right? LOL

2. Reach out to professors - believe me, eventually down the road you’ll need a letter of recommendation so reach out to professors. Visit them during office hours and ask questions! 

3. Volunteer - yes, I know you have no time. BUT I highly recommend maybe looking into the school you are interested in to see if there are events you might be able to participate in. I did this for my school and mentioned it during my interview and they were very glad to hear this. It shows you can give back to the organization in the future!

4.  Start the application early! - I started mine 6 months in advance. At least LOOK at it! Believe me, you do not want to find out you have a three page essay due the next day especially when your future is at play here...

5.  Lastly and importantly.... Believe in yourself!! - Guys, if I told you the amount of times I was told no, my own academic counselor said I couldn’t do it (long story but if you wanna hear it let me know) but just keep pushing! All this work will pay off!

Throughout the week I will be sharing links if you are from the IE or SB county, to maybe volunteer here and there and get those hours in! Also documents to help with time management and study tips that took me from Cs to As! 

Like always, much love.

Do it get any easier, like even just a little bit compared to the prerequisites. I’m already having a hard time but I feel like that’s the point of prerequisites to kind of be hard on students so many can drop and there will be space for the real thing in the program

Good Afternoon, 

I would love to chat with you about the different links you were talking about to better my grades. I am currently a sophomore in process of transferring colleges. My GPA at the moment is not where it should be in my eyes. I have yet to take the TEAS test and I feel completely behind. If you can inbox me on here or have any social media handles I can reach you on, I would most definitely appreciate you sharing them with me.
