1. How to study for the NCLEX?

   FutureRN514 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I am a senior in a BSN program. I will graduate this coming May (yay!). I would just like to know how some of you studied and prepared for the NCLEX. Some places in my area offer review classes, but they are a little bit costly. I am wondering if the...

2. Help! Has anyone been kicked out for failing technical standards

   FutureRN514 replied to interestedparty's topic in General Students

   Like other people have said, nitpicking and/or arguing with the professor gets you nowhere. When you are attempting to argue a question can you prove that the question was unfair or incorrect with the textbook your professor utilizes? The only way th...

3. How likely do you think I am of getting in? Advice to offer?

   FutureRN514 replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   GPA is not everything. You appear to be an ideal candidate because of your volunteer experience. Also, your GPA is still competitive. I got into one of the best nursing schools in my area with a 3.4 GPA and I had no medical experience and volunteer w...

4. I want a medical job!!!!

   FutureRN514 replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As a pre-nursing student I think it is a good idea to get a job in the medical field. To be honest, I did not get a job in the medical field until 3 months ago - right when I was staring my senior year in a BSN program. I work as a PCA for a home hea...

5. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

   FutureRN514 replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think I had a 3.45 when I was accepted into my nursing program. I am currently at a 3.49 with three semesters left before I graduate.

6. My grades /:

   FutureRN514 replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Do you typically struggle with reading skills and such? Or did you not dedicate the time? There is a difference between having a weak area and not dedicating the time to your studies. Your grades are not horrible, but they are not the best either. Yo...

9. Spring Semester'13 Schedule

   FutureRN514 replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nutrition was pretty easy, but that all depends on your professor. It could be super easy or your professor could make it very difficult. A&P is all memorization. Never underestimate the amount of material you need to memorize for that class, lol...

11. What are my acceptance chances? ABSN program

    FutureRN514 replied to DNeal's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Those are excellent schools you are applying to, if I am not mistaken. My friend had a 3.8 and didn't get into John's Hopkins. Nobody can tell you whether or not you will get in. However, I hate to say it but a 3.1 GPA is not a strong GPA for any nur...

12. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    FutureRN514 replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    I am not a straight A student. I wanted to be before I started school, but nursing is harder than I thought. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. My overall GPA is a 3.49 and I finished last semester with a 3.59. I had all A's in my non nursing ...

    It is awesome that you are so excited. I was beyond excited when I started the program. I honestly cannot wait to go back to school and begin the next semester of clinical. Good luck!

15. Good pair of shoes

    FutureRN514 replied to MsAlba's topic in Uniform/Gear

    My school requires us to wear all white shoes when we are in clinical. I bought a pair of New Balance and I love them. My feet do not ache when I get home from my 9 hour rotations.
