  1. Am I Too Dumb For Nursing?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to nsoler's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend getting in contact with someone in the nursing department at your school that specializes in determining who gets accepted into the program. Some schools accept the highest grade,...

  2. Planners: Digital vs. Paper

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to AnnPerkins's topic in General Students

    There is a YouTuber Ashley Adkins, RN who said she used an app called Planner Plus (or +) on her iPad, something she always had on her. She had used a physical planner up until a certain point but...

  3. I feel incompetent

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to June1617's topic in General Students

    This may seem like a silly question as I know some schools require this (not all schools are the same though as I am learning more and more), but have you taken a communications course? My school...

  4. Passing nclex RN 3 yrs after graduating... need employment advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Bella2016's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please forgive me if this is not much help as I am still a pre-nursing student, but have you considered doing a Transition to Practice Program? I am not entirely sure if that is what the BLS and ACLS...

  5. About to take the TEAS.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to flynprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are welcome :) I had heard it was heavy A&P, but this is my first time hearing about microbiology. Fortunately, I'll be tutoring for micro up until I apply. I'll be taking the second semester...

  6. About to take the TEAS.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to flynprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on passing! Must be a relief to have it done and out of the way. Overall I think you did a great job. I hear that the science portion is brutal which has me a little worried. It is...

  7. Trying to decide?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Bphoenix15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend getting ahold of someone at the school of nursing there. There is usually an advisor of some sort that you can talk to about what clinical rotations your school does specifically. If...

  8. Help. Microbiology

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to hearthappiness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many people do find this course to be difficult. First off, are PowerPoints for your class provided or do you have to take notes by hand individually? How did you study for your first exam? My class...

  9. Didn't do to hot on my first exam.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend staying personally and working hard to get a B. Even if you have to repeat the course because you failed (absolute worst case scenario here), you will have seen everything once...

  10. Didn't do to hot on my first exam.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While not an ideal score for you, 73% is not a bad start! Even though it seems to me like you know where you went wrong, I would recommend going over the exam with your professor and having him or her...

  11. About to take the TEAS.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to flynprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on passing the TEAS! It must be a relief having one less thing to worry about now. I do not have to take mine until next Spring, but I am starting to research study materials/prep for the...

  12. Help!, I'm obsessing over a 4.0

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I will be applying for my nursing program in Spring 2018 to begin Fall 2018, I completely understand what you are feeling! I finished up my finals earlier this month. I usually try to work my...

  13. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    The new point system is definitely different. I like that it allows more people who work in various parts of the medical field to get points whereas previous versions limited who could get points. My...

  14. Should I take TEAS w/o microbio and a&p 2?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to verbalsjint's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would recommend waiting personally, especially if you feel like you do not have enough structure. I am not sure if your program accepts retakes on the TEAS, but mine does not. To save money and your...

  15. Study Tips for Aspiring Nurse?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to cinderfloof's topic in General Students

    If you have not started your prerequisite courses yet, I would first figure out what your schedule will look like in the fall semester. Try to have a healthy balance of classes so you're not left too...

  16. Lost and confused...

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to jduperron's topic in General Students

    Well, I say it depends largely on your finances, what you plan to do with a nursing career, how good the programs are, etc. For me personally, I am choosing to get my ADN first. It is significantly...

  17. Best way to study from PowerPoints??

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Jen51685's topic in General Students

    While I am unfamiliar with what class BIO225 is, I can definitely give you some advice on what I do when I study from classes that provide this awesome resource. 1. Before I take any course, I ask...

  18. Summer 2017 Chat

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

    Hey everyone! For those of you currently in the midst of summer courses, best of luck! I'll be starting an online Psychology course (six week duration) next week. I am really looking forward to it as...

  19. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    I just wanted to echo what FutureRN951 said. With the competitiveness of this program, I would not recommend taking any chances with your GPA. I applaud you for evaluating your circumstances and being...

  20. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello everyone! I want to wish you all good luck on applying/prepping for the TEAS. I'll be applying in the spring for Fall 2018 (I am taking my last prerequisite, Anatomy 2B, in the Fall), but I...

  21. Rcc spring 2018 applicants!!

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to EMT2BRN1987's topic in School, College Programs

    First and foremost, I just wanted to wish you luck on applying! I have my fingers crossed that this attempt will be successful for you. Don't give up! Second, I just wanted to clarify whether you...
