    chemistry minor while BSN program?

    araew2129 replied to nursetobequestionmark's topic in General Students

    Do you want to work as a RN? If so, then waste of time in my opinion. If you are imagining some other career down the road, I'd still just concentrate on the BSN and maybe consider a graduate degree...

    California RN Program Pre-Req

    araew2129 replied to bchoi39's topic in General Students

    I think you would do best by identifying the RN programs you want to apply to and then look at how these questions would be answered by each program. I'm sure they all have their own

    Repayment program information please help

    Oh, and it took me a total of 5.5 years to finish my bachelor's previously. Looking back, that really wasn't that

    Repayment program information please help

    araew2129 replied to Plumbob7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Paying that bill to the community college is going to be way less costly than paying the steep cost of the other school. I know that at this time it seems like it may be worth it, but I will tell you...

    Which route is most ideal

    araew2129 replied to CamMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yes, I can see why ASU might be a good option for you... especially if you would get a tuition break as an employee? That would be great as I know the ABSN is also quite expensive! Good luck with...

    Repayment program information please help

    araew2129 replied to Plumbob7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd highly recommend looking into a community college education. Most are very high quality, you may qualify for other educational assistance such as a Pell grant which may even cover the entire cost...

    Which route is most ideal

    araew2129 replied to CamMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Re-reading your post, it seems you are in the Phoenix area. In which case I would definitely recommend the GCU CEP with the community college. You bypass the waitlist there and still ultimately end up...

    Which route is most ideal

    araew2129 replied to CamMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, very similar story to me. And I think we are in the same area! (I am in Tucson). I was a nursing assistant the first time I went to school and was going to go into nursing but decided on social...

    A&P Lab exam question

    araew2129 replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do your lab exams consist of identifying a particular thing marked on a chart or model? That's how mine were. We were expected to be to ide tidy that item completely by memory as well. The only way to...

    Burnout or bad career choice?

    araew2129 replied to ajp43's topic in General Specialties

    Not a nurse (yet) but I am a social worker who also experienced some level of burn out. I'd say that nursing can be *just* your job, not your life, not where you get your highest level of personal...

    I need a nursing advisor <crossroads>

    araew2129 replied to jazzytee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first degree is in social work as well. I applied to and was accepted at an accelerated Master's for Entry to Nursing program but relinquished the seat for my community college seat. I decided that...

    Agree with mergirlc. I accepted a seat in the my second choice school while I wait for my first choice school but declined the other

    How much should I review A & P before starting Nursing in the Fall?

    araew2129 replied to MAJCAC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think there are as few topics to brush up on. Like the RAAS, having adrenergic receptors and what they control memorized, make sure you know acid/base pretty well, and how to do drug calculations....

    APII + Micro in Summer

    No I would NOT do both. Maybe one or the other, but not both. Especially A&PII which has a ton of physiology and is way different than

    Chem or Microbiology Which class to take?

    araew2129 replied to NicoleNSmith623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What level chem is it? I found chemistry (both fundamental and organic) to have a lot of busy work which took up time but wasn't necessarily difficult to learn. The reverse was true of micro, lots of...

    Should I take Microbiology and Nursing 101 during the same semester? Or do Microbiology in the summer by itself?

    araew2129 replied to Dk256u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely do micro over the summer to be able to concentrate on the nursing course when it starts. Even paying out of pocket, if you take it at a community college, wouldn't be cost...
