  1. Anxiously waiting for the acceptance bus

    Sandpiper12 replied to Ghost of Dobby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I wish we only had a one week wait! Our applications are due 1 May, but we don't find out until the end of July (or early August)! I have no idea why it takes so long, it's a tiny program, and...

  2. Prerequisites

    Sandpiper12 replied to Shakiria100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say your first step is to stop with the negative self talk. You CAN do this!! I'm surprised you don't need chemistry of some sort as well. Personally I wouldn't want to drag it out so long,...

  3. Study advice for Chem 1

    Sandpiper12 replied to Liveinthemoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This kills me. He's essentially abusing his position. I'm glad I'm not in his class, at 39, I've dealt with crap like that too many times - and couldn't put up with

  4. Agriculture and Nursing

    Sandpiper12 replied to Agri_Nerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I would tackle one at a time. With clinicals and studying I wouldn't want to take on even more classes. Why not get the bsn, get a job, work on your masters so you can be a CNM, get a CNM job,...

  5. Study advice for Chem 1

    Sandpiper12 replied to Liveinthemoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would report this professor to the school. That's rediculous. No teacher should tell you not to ask them questions... He works not get a good evaluation from me - and often evals are used to...

  6. Becoming a nurse

    Sandpiper12 replied to Determined2care's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think you would need to retake most of your courses since it has been so long - which you seem OK with. I would contact all the schools in your area that offer a program and find out the...

  7. Ranked 75 percentile for my ADN program.. do you think I'll get in?

    Sandpiper12 replied to Klowman8691's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a similar situation...small town, cohort only starts every OTHER year, and they only accept 10 people. UGG. I've done the best I possibly can (96.8 on my HESI test) and 3.93 GPA...taking all...

  8. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Sandpiper12 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really curious why some think 35 is too old? Like real reasons. I know personally, I have much better time management skills now than in my 20s, I study harder, and enjoy school more now that I'm...

  9. Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Sandpiper12 replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really? I'm 39, have two kids who are now in school, and I'm loving being back in school! I stayed at home with my babies, now it's time for me. This will be my second

    Go for it! 39 here... I have a BS from 2001, and a lot of my science/math/gen Ed transferred. And then the was a lot that transferred as electives. I am finishing up a few pre/co requisites this...

  13. Well my HESI A2 exam is tomorrow

    Sandpiper12 replied to SPMME13's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    @Sean - strange that you didn't have a timer! It wasn't obvious on the screen, and I really only glanced at it a few times. I really needed to do well on the HESI- the program that I'm applying to is...

    Sandpiper12 replied to SPMME13's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Thought I'd add on to your post - I posted this on another earlier, and I'll try to answer some of the questions above as well. I took the HESI A2 on the 12th of January. There is a basic calculator....

    Sandpiper12 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! I think I'll be focusing on A&P a bit more now! Stinks that the math is type in your answer! But, that's my best subject - just need to take my time. I know I need to go over...
