  1. When can I apply for ABSN?

  2. Which courses should I consider retaking prior to applying for nursing schools?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to kfaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OsceanSN2018 replied to 9apj8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. How many hours would you work taking 14 credits?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Skippy97's topic in General Students

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Should I wait before applying to nursing school?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Laureline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Fall 2017 programs that are still accepting applications

    OsceanSN2018 replied to PMHNPonTheMaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I doubt anyone will still be accepting applicants for the fall as it's already July and it's a huge process to go through... Maybe you should look into apply for a spring start instead? The wait can't...

    OsceanSN2018 replied to ncwill72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be too bummed about general pysch as it will be one of the easiest prerequisite class you could take compared to your core science classes. My #1 rule I had when taking prerequisites was always...

  16. Prerequisite courses

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Tasiaboyd28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yikes, you may be looking at finishing all your prerequisites (including your STNA course) in about 2-2.5 years. But that's okay since it's not very common for people to finish all their classes in a...

    OsceanSN2018 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Has anyone taken the KAT exam?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Xomich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually didn't remember any conversation units because they asked a couple basic conversation of pounds to like kg. And the word problems wasn't difficult to me, just the dosage calculation so I...

  20. Has anyone taken the KAT exam?

    OsceanSN2018 replied to Xomich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OsceanSN2018 replied to sarahhill's topic in General Students

    For most cases as long as you started your series and will have them completed in a timely manner it shouldn't deter you from starting nursing school in the fall. Which is the case for my school and...
