1. Talk to someone for free??

   idkmybffjill replied to Losa's topic in General Students

   Either way, I would suggest checking out the resources provided by your school, whether you are currently enrolled in high school or college. If you are in high school, talk with your guidance counselor. If you currently go to a college, see if your ...

2. A&p1

   idkmybffjill replied to Andrea08's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took both of my A&P courses as hybrid ones, and I liked it that way. Of course, my professor ended up using our physical "lab" time each week as more of a lecture time with some small labs every once in a while. So, I was able to take most of t...

3. I need some help..

   idkmybffjill replied to jeffroudbai's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with everyone previous. You need to focus on your classes first and foremost and scale back on everything else. If you don't meet the minimum GPA, you won't even be considered for admission. Even then, you generally need quite a bit above the...

4. Taking classes

   idkmybffjill replied to anxfut's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I personally think it is attainable, especially if you already have good study habits and time management skills and don't have to work full time. While I took my A&P2 and Micro in a fall semester together (and got A's), I did take my first A&...

5. A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

   idkmybffjill replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't touch a four-week A&P class with a ten-foot pole. There's just way too much information to learn and understand in each course that you can't properly get in that time. A&P is the foundation of your nursing classes, so you want to ...

6. Is Getting a BSN Worth It?

   idkmybffjill replied to jasj's topic in General Students

   My suggestion is to sit down and figure out what you really want and what is possible. Think about if you want to continue trying to get a job in marketing. Is this something you will regret not pursuing? Have you tried everything you can think of to...

7. Questions About Accelerated BSN Programs

   idkmybffjill replied to MW24's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's going to depend a bit on the specific program. Usually, you'll have to at least have most of the prereq courses done before you apply, but some require all prereq classes be completed. Each program will state their specifics. I personally took ...

8. How do they calculate your GPA?

   idkmybffjill replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

   It depends on the program, but usually when it says "GPA" without any qualifiers, it's talking about the GPA of all courses you have taken. So it would consider what GPA you have with both the courses with your first degree and the prereq courses you...

9. entrance essay.. "what does being a nurse mean to me?"..thoughts?

   idkmybffjill replied to Klow30's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My main advise: -You need a bit more focus in the essay. Each paragraph should have one main point and everything should lead back to it. Each paragraph should also cumulative into one obvious conclusion/main idea. You start off with compassion being...

10. Accelerated BSN + Second Degree Programs Florida

    idkmybffjill replied to AUeb97's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You'd be able to apply for regular BSN programs and ADN programs.

11. Accelerated BSN + Second Degree Programs Florida

    idkmybffjill replied to AUeb97's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There's UNF, UCF, USF, FSU, and UF. I'm sure there are quite a bit of private college programs as well. You'd have to research to see what the average stats of those accepted to see what your chances are. It can also depend more on your prereq GPA. (...

12. Finally took Teas!, but...

    idkmybffjill replied to misspy's topic in TEAS

    How competitive has the program been historically in regard to GPA and such? If there's generally a lot of applicants and the GPA of those accepted is generally high, I would probably hedge my bets and take it again for a higher score since there isn...

13. Reference Letters

    idkmybffjill replied to clf1926's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think the only way "around it" is if you worked under some of those friends or volunteered under them. I wouldn't get a family member to be my reference regardless though. The issue becomes that their references are less credible to others because ...

14. Will I be paying too much tuition for my ABSN?

    idkmybffjill replied to nepenth3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If that's the only feasible ABSN program near you (or there is no lower cost programs around), then I'd probably go with an ADN or regular BSN program personally. 50k is a lot of money, and for me, an extra 8 months isn't worth 25k in extra expenses....

15. In need of help. Failed teas 6

    idkmybffjill replied to Ashleyreagan2323's topic in TEAS

    Have you looked at your score reports to see which areas/topics you have missed questions on? I'd probably print those out to see if there are topics you are consistently having an issue with and focus instead on those. Try to engage with the materia...
