   jnichox2 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I appreciate the feedback. I still have to take the TEAS and HESI as well, before I apply. I am volunteering on the Close Observation Unit at a local hospital and will probably have about 150 to 200 hours of volunteering done before I apply. I think ...

   jnichox2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi. So I am a pre-nursing student at a Community College and am wondering if my current grades will be competitive enough to get into a program. I will begin to apply to nursing schools in about two more semesters. I know that a lot of students takin...

3. Best order for science prereqs

   jnichox2 replied to thinkingcap's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I personally like Option #3 the best, due to the fact that its the order I'm doing things. I found that there was pieces of chem sprinkled through A&P1. So its better to have that foundation. In addition, at my university to get to A&P1, taki...

5. Courses you found useful...

   jnichox2 replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with @RunBabyRN language courses are a good way to pick up some words and phrases. Even though nursing pre-reqs are science based, don't forget about the humanities. Public Speaking, World Religions, a specific culture course (arabic language...

7. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

   jnichox2 replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am not in an actual program, but I am taking my pre-reqs. Any laptop or desktop will do the trick. As long as it windows or OS X with a word processing software. I personally find the laptop in the classroom a distraction. If your on a budget there...

8. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

   jnichox2 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am pretty sure it is going to take me 3 or 4 years. In my case I plan on applying to a traditional BSN program. To do so I have to fulfill the university general education requirements, and the school of nursing prerequisite requirements. Since I a...

9. Is this a realistic course load?

   jnichox2 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the info. I think it's a good idea to attend each class the first week and identify how much will be put on me. If it's too much I will probably drop the stats or u.s. History. I think I signed up for all those classes because I don't want...

    Yeah I think I agree with everyone above. It does seem doable. The only thing I worry about is my GPA (3.96). I guess I have some thinking to do. But thank you for the feedback.

12. Advice to prepare for intro chemistry and English 1?

    jnichox2 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

    English 1 or Composition 1 is based around a lot of writing. It may be different for you but for me I had to write 4 essays, a bunch of journal entries on a theme for the semester, and in class discussions. At the end of the class we had to submit a ...

13. The Threat of a "B" on a Transcript

    jnichox2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is a question to all the people taking their pre-reqs, already in a nursing program, or graduates. So with programs being so competitive, many students, including myself feel the pressure to maintain an A in all their pre-reqs(especially the sc...
