   lbeck0614 replied to lbeck0614's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah..um, I appreciate your rather fear-inducing "advice",Here I Stand, but it so unnecessary to try and tell people you dont even know, to get a handle on test anxiety, and seek a professional. It doesn't sound like you are giving positive advice a...

   Thanks! Like I said, I only have one prerequisite left to take. I know it's a difficult class, but I already have a 4 year Science degree, so I think I've got this too!

   I'm sure PLENTY of nursing students were not straight A students going in. Where there is a will, there is a way! Don't let people's negative opinions deter your passion for nursing.

   I have to take Anatomy and physio as my last prerequisite. Thank God I can opt out of the TEAS entrance exam because I have a BAS and already did all of that. To even sign up for the program, I must complete that class. Good luck to all!!

7. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

   lbeck0614 replied to Emile's topic in CNA/MA

   Whatever nurse says that they are too good for "disgusting" jobs like cleaning a patient, or getting in the trenches to clean up vomit, are in the wrong field. Nobody in nursing is too good for helping a patient..in whatever way we can. I am looking ...

9. Older Nursing Students

   lbeck0614 replied to faithfl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   How did they do as nurses? Nursing has SO MANY options for careers, and I'm wondering if older nurses do well in fast paced environments like the ER. I've sat and watched nurses in action when my husband was ill, if we weren't in the ER, we were in ...

    I already have a BA in Science, though my GPA was very very low, and I need advice on how to proceed from here. Obviously I will not make the cut for accelerated BSN...right now. Should I continue with the pre nursing certificate, which I only need A...

13. 2.35 GPA too low for Acc Bacc BSN Program?

    lbeck0614 replied to btaveras's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am in the same boat. I have a BAS degree and too low a gpa to qualify for BAS program. This is a challenge, but we still have a leg up because of the 4 year degree. There is NOTHING wrong with getting an ADN from an accredited community college. If...

    I am a 39 year old mother to a 5 year old little boy. I have a BAS from a great school, but life happened, and I ended up getting a very low (2.0) gpa. I was the first in my family to ever go to college, and worked 3 jobs to live while in school. I w...
