1. how to answer this question?

   ZoraNeale replied to futurefnp27's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't recommend the initial response be about money. Nurse Practitioners spend more time with their patients compared to doctors because they are nurses first. Patient centered care is most important and for NPs, this includes the diagnosis and the...

2. Everyone is failing out...

   ZoraNeale replied to Texasstudent0's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't worry about it. I heard the same from several students who didn't pass that it was impossible to not only pass but to pass with an A. I just finished the first semester of my ADN program and earned a 97% on the final and a 92% in the class. We ...

3. How to ace nursing tests?

   ZoraNeale replied to Autumn99's topic in General Students

   How do you study? If you study to memorize, then that may be where the Cs come from. Try studying to understand the material and not just memorize it. Understanding the material in nursing school is especially important when it comes to applying the...

4. Tips for Scenario Based Interview Questions?

   ZoraNeale replied to nstudenttoRN24's topic in General Students

   I dreaded these until I figured out how to answer them. These types of interviews asked behavior based questions. The idea is that past behavior will predict future performance. They want to know how you handle situations based on how you handled th...

5. 4 year vs 2 year

   ZoraNeale replied to Unseenchanges's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Absolutely. Do your research! Look at hospitals in the area that you would consider working in and see what their tuition repayment is like. All of the hospitals in my area pay for their nurses to pursue their BSN. Also, scholarships! I landed a scho...

6. game plan after pre reqs are completed

   ZoraNeale replied to RainbowSprinkles's topic in General Students

   Hey! Congrats on finishing up your pre-reqs. I start nursing school in a couple of weeks and my journey sounds a bit like yours. I also have a bachelor's degree in another field (Psychology) and know how anxious it can be waiting to apply to programs...

7. HESI-A2 Test Advice!!

   ZoraNeale replied to nursing5518's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello! First let me start by saying don't stress! It is literally stuff you learned in grade school, middle school, and high school. You will be fine! I used the HESI-A2 study book found on Amazon. It prepared me very well for the exam and I earned a...

8. 4 year vs 2 year

   ZoraNeale replied to Unseenchanges's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am deciding to pursue my ADN and start in a few weeks. I chose this route because it is SO much cheaper, you finish quicker, can start working, and I can complete my BSN while my job pays for it. It's a win-win!! If you haven't completed pre-reqs y...

9. Am I overloading myself?

   ZoraNeale replied to Tehlpn05's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You will be fine! I worked 50+ hours per week while taking my pre-reqs which often was up to 4 classes at a time in 8 week micro sessions so classes were super accelerated. Make sure you get a calendar and mark when each and every assignment is due a...

10. I have no idea what path to take for finish school!

    ZoraNeale replied to hlpryor1221's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't know of any nursing program where you can go to work 8-5pm and attend classes. I don't even think many people in nursing school attempt to work due to how rigorous the coursework is. If you really need to work FT, I would look at becoming a n...

11. What should I do when I ens up with a C in Anatomy ?

    ZoraNeale replied to Sophia Bui's topic in Pre-Nursing

    A C could possibly hurt your chances at entering a competitive nursing program. Some programs accept C's but I know that many prefer to see B's or A's. If I were you, I would try to pull B's and A's in the rest of my pre-reqs here on out and hope for...

12. How to get over cold feet about nursing school

    ZoraNeale replied to Beautifuldreams85's topic in General Students

    Doubting yourself is completely normal and it does not matter on the past you have. Doubt will at some point or another creep into our lives and tell us we can't do something and make us afraid of the future when we should be looking forward to it. I...

    ZoraNeale replied to JessJSU94's topic in NCLEX

    Congratulations!

14. Finish AA before nursing?!

    ZoraNeale replied to JNV9211's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You sound just like me. I played with the idea of nursing when I was around 21 or so but decided I couldn't do it and went ahead and pursued by B.S. in Psychology. The idea of nursing crept up again, so I decided to attend a CNA course and absolutely...

15. Applying to nursing schools

    ZoraNeale replied to Futurenurse2323's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That is the rumor. I do know several people who got in with a GPA lower than yours. However, I know they tend to shy away from students who did not earn a B or better in their nursing pre-requisites. I should also mention that this program is one of ...
