   bobswife replied to splunking's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Funny you should ask... According to the bbc health website, nursing is considered a "right-brain" career. Apparently, our lack of linear thinking can help us consider the gray areas, assess chaotic situations better, judge body language more perce...

   bobswife replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

   My "Plan" is to go into women's health with a MS so I can work as an Nurse Practitioner in a gyn practice. I am very interested in community outreach, women's health education, and wellness programs. Of course I need to get through my RN first! Ha...

   Anyone a current or alum? I just wanted to know some of the specifics about uniforms and tools-- I know it is very regulated and was hoping to get a jump start! Books, too... So glad to be in, but also nervous! Wow! I would really appreciate so...

6. Can I do it?

   bobswife replied to Cherry2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was so in your shoes, just last year! I have been "math-phobic" my entire life. I thought that I couldn't become a nurse because I wasn't math efficient enough to get through the schooling, much less the job! Instead, I spent last summer teach...

7. Anyone else going to an ADN pgm w/ BA already?

   bobswife replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello to a fellow NC-ian! I have a BFA in Art Education and am going back for an ADN. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to convince anyone that my art classes really should count as a chemistry credit.... It's been a pretty big leap from right ...

10. Asset Placement Test

    bobswife replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took the Asset last summer. I reviewed the Assett study guide (from our local library) and a bunch of ACT study guides (the same people write both tests) as well. I'm glad I did! It really helped me to be familiar with the types of questions, wor...

11. What is the Sevices Bureau's Nursing School Aptitude Exam like?

    bobswife replied to bobswife's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sorry this is coming in so late... I've been swamped by Chem and Biology at Durham Tech. Yes, I'm hoping/trying/wishing to get into Watts, too! So, you think that if I've got a BFA in education and have a 4.00 gpa at Durham Tech that I can chill ou...
