   I would like to add that what is said before is just MY opinion. I've seen people work & go to school full time and be successful

6. How do u go to nursing if you have to work full time?

   FutureRN718 replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

   To be honest, it's impossible to work full time and go to nursing school full time. The amount of hours you will need to study is A LOT. I wouldnt even recommend working part time, maybe just on the weekends if you must. I highly recommend taking ...

8. Most Arduous Courses in School?

   FutureRN718 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

   The A&P 1 and 2 is not bad. The great thing is that many bookstores like Barnes and Noble offer SO many study guides for A&P that really break it down for you. The math is very basic. It's the nursing courses themselves that are the toughi...

   FutureRN718 posted a topic in New York

   I recently attended nursing school but unfortunately failed my med-serg by only a few points and therefore was ejected from the school . I'll be applying to several private colleges in the NY/NJ area over the next few weeks. I'm a bit worried though,...

11. fall deadline & pre-req's for school

    FutureRN718 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

    P.S..I went to Saint Vincents Catholic Medical Center. They have two nursing programs: one in staten island and I believe the other one is in queens. The passing grade is an 80, which is a bit higher than most schools but it IS a good school.

12. fall deadline & pre-req's for school

    FutureRN718 replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York

    It really depends on the school. Some will allow you to begin the nursing program while you still complete your pre-reqs. In the school I went to, we had a few girls straight from high school that were taking all of the pre-reqs while taking the nur...

13. Wow....need some input Please!!

    FutureRN718 replied to TonyFl's topic in Career Support

    I'd also like to add that before starting A&P I had no knowledge of science at all! As long as do the assigned readings and look at your notes a few times a week you'll breeze by. PROMISE!

14. Wow....need some input Please!!

    FutureRN718 replied to TonyFl's topic in Career Support

    The pre-reqs really arent so bad. Don't let some silly science classes get in the way of pursuing nursing. The go by really quick and there is always tutoring available. Theres also PLENTY of rewiew books and "For Dummies" books available in Barne...

    FutureRN718 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was enrolled in an Associates degree nursing program for a full year. I did very well in the Foundations of Nursing(first semester) as well as the clinical aspects. However, when Med-Serg rolled around I had a harder time with it. The passing gra...
