    Help! Pre-Nursing Job advice!

    Apple-Core replied to Soon2beNurseSmith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your other option is you can take a loan from your 401K, (but you have to repay it to yourself, so to speak). I urge you not to liquidate your 401K. I know 23 is young, but all the more reason to keep...

    Transferring nursing credits after failing out

    Apple-Core replied to Blittle2018's topic in Texas Nursing

    Why do you want to transfer rather than go back to the college you flunked out of? Is it pride, or is there something else stopping you? I would grab the opportunity - being offered to start over is...

    Help! Pre-Nursing Job advice!

    Apple-Core replied to Soon2beNurseSmith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apple-Core replied to 2024rngradhooman's topic in Texas Nursing

    Correct me if I'm wrong - but my understanding is that you have to have a 60 day wait period between HESI exams. Perhaps that is different depending on which state you live in? Where I am, we can take...

    Becoming a nurse

    Apple-Core replied to Alllison's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi - I would research colleges/schools in the area you will be moving to. All of them will have pre-requisites such as English, Math, Anatomy, etc. I would pull out your transcript and research each...

    Nervous about cep app

    Apple-Core replied to tess2737's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think if you already applied, you cannot change your scores because they will go by the ones you submitted. However, I may well be wrong, so check with the college to be sure. Regardless - your HESI...

    Graduating RN BSN at 32

    Apple-Core replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    I'll be closing in on 50 when I graduate. I couldn't care less. I believe being older brings some major benefits - maturity (well, most of the time...LOL!) and a sense of self assurance that I didn't...
