    Hello! I'm here for some information/advice/guidance.

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

    Couldn't hurt! I was a CNA when I went to school for my bachelors degree (in social work). And I definitely felt like I got my feet wet. It isn't going to give you the experience of being a nurse...

    I'm taking the Kaplan tomorrow... now I'm so nervous! I hope I can at least get a science score in the 80s but I have admittedly not been studying enough! I will update after my exam! Yes, I already...

    Hello! I'm here for some information/advice/guidance.

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

    araew2129 replied to ATstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well I think they give themselves a good buffer because lots of people apply to multiple programs and may not accept the seat if offered. I am applying to several programs because I really cannot...

    Pathway Advice please

    Option 3. Otherwise you are just taking a longer and more expensive road. The 5 months are worth the 1 yr you would be saving to ultimately be an

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

    The video interviews are basically the same except I believe they do them with just you and the interview panel. In-person are done with 2 candidates at a

    Volunteer Experience for Pre Nursing Student

    araew2129 replied to slopez95's topic in General Students

    The suggestions by verene are probably going to be your best bets and most helpful. In case you can't find anything in a clinical setting, try checking with your school. I got volunteer hours as a...

    UA MEPN 2019

    araew2129 replied to ATstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I really don't think that will be an issue. I think the graduate college will admit everyone who applies and meets minimum requirements, which are probably to similar to minimum requirements for the...

    UA MEPN 2019

    araew2129 replied to ATstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I never failed or failed to withdraw. I did an official withdrawal on 2, maybe 3, courses but they show as a W on my transcripts. Still I don't believe this should bring my overall GPA more than 1%...

    araew2129 replied to ATstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, NursingCAS is a mess. They somehow lowered my GPA to 3.77 instead of 3.89 and they also have my university (Arizona State University) listed as "Not Listed Canadian." I mean... the name of the...

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

    Help! Summer or Regular Semester Pre-Reqs?

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

    Why are you taking it for a 3rd time? Did you have trouble passing? Or do you just want a refresher on the material? If the class is difficult for you, I agree with taking it alone during a regular...
