1. Grades in ADN class

   forevernursem replied to konp's topic in General Students

   At the program I am in we have to get an 80% or higher to pass the course.

2. How to manage EVERYTHING

   forevernursem replied to Snmichael's topic in General Students

   What I find helpful is keeping a planner. On each day, write what homework you have to get done, due dates, and how long to study for. Also, add your work from your personal life, such as your kids events and all of this kind of stuff. Then after com...

3. Take statistics in RN program or wait?

   forevernursem replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

   I would take stats along with your nursing classes. You just need to make sure that you have plenty of time to study for all of your classes. If you wait to take stats, you may not remember all of your previous math skills you learned, and then be fo...

4. Failed nursing school at last sem

   forevernursem replied to Angel1989's topic in General Students

   Usually if you fail a nursing course, another program won't take you in and let you continue where you left off. You will get credit for your prereqs and all of your general education classes, but you will have to apply to other programs and start th...

5. RN to BSN?

   forevernursem replied to ThatJessyChick's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No, you don't need to be a RN before BSN. For nursing there are two routes: ADN nurses or BSN nurses. ADN are associate degree nurses, this is usually obtained through a community college. This route is cheaper. Most ADN nurses now have to get there ...

6. High school diploma

   forevernursem replied to Sarahbear's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You will need proof of high school graduation or a GED to apply for a nursing program. But, you can take non-nursing courses, like prereqs (math, bio, English) without having a GED or diploma.

7. How long does it take to complete a BSN?

   forevernursem replied to 0052273's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been going full time since I graduated high school and it will take me 5 years for a BSN. It took me 2 years for the prereqs (12-13 credits per semester), and I took one class during the summer. But, the school where I'm getting my nursing degre...

8. Am I Too Old to Go to School?

   forevernursem replied to Les Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's not too late for you! There are students in my nursing classes who are way older than 40. This Fall start doing your nursing prereqs at a local community college, because those will take you 1-2 years depending on how many classes per semester y...

9. Please Help Me!....I Need Study Materials/Review for HESI A2 Exam

   forevernursem replied to Sammei's topic in HESI

   Hello, I bought the Hesi book from my school store. The book was extremely helpful with the math section. At my school we only needed to take the math and reading portion of the test. For the reading section, I literally just searched on google "Hesi...

10. Watches for Nursing Students

    forevernursem replied to Monica.Aguilar12's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Does your school allow you to wear an Apple Watch? Because in my nursing program we have to wear a watch with a second hand for when we check pulses. I would buy a cheap $10-$20 watch, so if something happens to it or gets dirty you won't have to wor...

11. Nursing School Essentials

    forevernursem replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in General Students

    Highlighters and gel pens are my favorite things!! I also use A LOT of flashcards. Colorful small tabs or small sticky notes to mark important pages in the textbook are super helpful :)

12. Pregnant & in college?

    forevernursem replied to Showdee's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't know how stressed out you get, but I feel if you have enough time to put towards your classes, then it will reduce your stress level and you'll be fine. If you have a busy schedule and can't focus on school, then maybe taking these classes at...

13. ADN Program in California

    forevernursem replied to shelster's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello, If you could get accepted into an ADN program this year I would definitely go that route instead of waiting a whole year to get into an ABSN program. Then, after you graduate you can go full time RN to BSN (which is about 12 months). These pro...

14. please give me advice!

    forevernursem replied to cozmo09's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If your goal is to become a RN, then don't do the LPN route. It will be more money in the long run because you will have to pay for LPN school, then RN school. Also, it will take much more time. If you can't wait another year, then start applying to...

15. Chances and Advice on getting in?!

    forevernursem replied to niajasmine98's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It really just depends on what classes the school looks at when accepting students for nursing. Do they look at overall GPA or just the nursing prereqs? If the school looks at the overall GPA, then definitely retake some classes because 3.4 overall i...
