None of this matters because the point is that you did not understand the material and need to retake the course. Details aren't important, what is important is that you learn the material next time.

Wow this is a pretty horrifying attitude. In what world do you get to move on in schooling that is designed to teach you to have people's lives in your hands in many cases just by paying money?

Your instructor may have thought about it more and realized you were not competent to move on. That is her call to make, I'm sorry she originally told you you passed but that is a verbal statement and not a final grade. The point still is that you we...

Ok but without even including the ethical dilemma assignment you were barely passing. And since you said you barely got passing scores on your care plans that suggests that you don't understand the material and should retake the course.

I'm not done with my direct-entry program so I can't speak on how successful my cohort will be in finding jobs, but I just wanted to share that I think it varies significantly from program to program and you need to be wise about picking a program. I...

Yes you apply in March or April I believe (probably early April but my memory is fuzzy). And you find out if you are accepted early February. I actually don't live on campus, I turned down my on campus housing offer! But I have heard mixed reviews ab...

Agreed with what everyone said above, cardio and respiratory are going to be your best friends. Also renal and liver are important because drugs will be eliminated through one of those two systems/ many diseases are either caused by or will impact th...

Sorry but this really doesn't sound like an ethical dilemma so I would bet you did not answer the prompt correctly. I'm also questioning if you should pass the clinical if this small of an assignment brought you below passing.

This is not true, especially in NYC. Yes there are many hospitals that are not asking for transcripts but there are many that do as well (especially if you are looking to work here in the city or in other saturated places like California). With that ...

Private message me if you want and we can talk about the application!

Hi! If you live far from NYC they will prioritize you for on campus housing, most of the people I know who didn't come from New Jersey or New York (I came from California) were accepted to on campus housing. I would definitely apply for it no matter ...

I believe you sign on campus housing paperwork in May (this might vary from building to building). You do need to be present but I think as long as you are back by May you should be ok.

From what I have seen in the past with OP, he assumes that he does know everything so watch out if you end up in a hospital he works in in the future

Ugh Kaplan. My school uses them also and I don't personally find it helpful at all. To prepare for the Kaplan tests I would suggest doing practice exams on Kaplan, they have a section where you can choose topics and build your own review exams. That ...

Enough people have already told you that this is a poor way to approach medications (memorizing is the lowest form of knowledge). But I will say really work on understanding the pharmacology behind classes of medications; know what body systems they ...

I updated my application last year with my fall grades. I don't remember if it was required or not but I think showing you successfully completed more prerequisites could only help.

You can do all of that with press on nails...sorry women are amazing and you're not as capable. Also if your parents would have kicked them out for nails but didn't kick you out for your demeaning attitude then they have their priorities backwards.

Ok so your organic chemistry class might be easier but nursing school is NOT easier than a PA route (or med school). Sorry to burst your bubble. Don't go into nursing just because you think it's an easy way out, there are a ton of people on waitlists...

....I'm confused about in what world advice does not equal opinions. Any time you ask anyone for advice they are going to be giving their opinion. The dictionary definition of advice literally says "an opinion or recommendation." And I don't doubt th...

Not at all surprised that your children are home schooled. But I did answer your question. Leave her alone. Don't do anything related to nursing. If she actually wants it she will ask you questions or seek the information out herself. You shouldn't "...

I applied to Columbia, UPenn, Case Western, Oregon Health and Science University, MGH, Northeastern, Yale, Vanderbilt and a couple others that I'm not remembering right now. I am now attending Columbia's MDE/DNP program

I don't think so (they say it doesn't) but I had a phone interview and didn't get in so I can't be sure. I think that your interview answers definitely need to be more prepared if you are having a phone interview because you can't express yourself th...

Also, their interviews are really detailed. I remember being asked very detailed questions about my essays that I was not prepared for so make sure you really review what you wrote in your essays if you do get an interview!

I'm not a current GEPN student (Yale is the only rejection I got haha), but I did interview with them. Interviews are either over the phone or in person, I haven't heard of anyone doing video chats. I believe they sent me a list of dates and times to...

Just wanted to throw it out there again for anyone who recently joined this thread, I am currently in Columbia's MDE program and am happy to answer questions either on here or over private message :)
