  1. Anyone still in shock??

    krenee replied to beckersSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I just got my letter one week ago and I'm definitely in shock. All last year I thought it was a huge long shot to get in for the fall, because I was still working on my prereqs through the...

  2. stethoscope problem

    krenee replied to kasia2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I don't *know* since I'm just a beginning nursing student, but my opinion is that it's probably worth investing in a better stethoscope. LOL a pink one sounds cute though!

  3. What the "bleep"?!?!?!?

    krenee replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like www.flylady.org! Check it out.

  4. A & P hope

    krenee replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a class similar to yours, they called it Health Science and it also combined A&P with microbiology. I can tell you an A is do-able, you just have to put in the time. There is a LOT to learn....

  5. Anyone else moving into the "Nursing Student" forum next week?

    krenee replied to meggers628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I got my letter TODAY! I start in August! I am SO excited! Congrats to all of you too, and I'll see ya in the Student Nursing Forum! :balloons: :biere: :smiley_aa

  6. UnPatiently Waiting on Fall 07 decisions

    krenee replied to BouBou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also stalking the mail carrier! I start checking the mail at about 11:30 every day, and check it every half hour until it comes - which is usually before four but yesterday I think it was closer...

  7. share your fears..

    krenee replied to kasia2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm afraid after everything I'm going through to become a nurse, that I'll hate it! I'm also afraid that I just won't be good at it - I'm smart but as much as I hate to say it, I tend to be an...

  8. Lightbulb goes off!!

    krenee replied to aerorunner80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that happened to me recently, the DAY OF a chemistry test. There was something I just didn't get, and then all of a sudden, I did. I was SO happy, not to mention relieved! Funny how the brain...

  9. Professional References

    krenee replied to Mommycakers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been in the same boat, and actually I did use an online professor as a reference. Based on the fact that it was a difficult course and I got an A out of only three in the class, she was able to...

  10. hesi test for entry in RN program

    krenee replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess . . . I don't know anything about it, they just announced that it's required now for pre-entrance. Sounds scary the way y'all are talking about it! I hope I get in this year so I don't have...

  11. hesi test for entry in RN program

    krenee replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school just switched to this . . . I had to take the TEAS and I hope I got in this year because otherwise I'll have to take the HESI also! It looks like there isn't any science on the HESI . . ....

  12. My school has a weird application process!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Although ours is first come first served, I've worked my butt off for good grades and I have no idea why! Just obsessive, I think. Hoping some day it will matter when I go for my BSN or...

  13. My school has a weird application process!

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just thought I'd say that! First we have to complete our pre-reqs. Then we have to turn in a "checklist" saying we meet all these requirements (prereqs mostly). THEN they have to approve the...

  14. My school has a weird application process!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Although ours is first come first served, I've worked my butt off for good grades and I have no idea why! Just obsessive, I think. Hoping some day it will matter when I go for my BSN or...

  15. My school has a weird application process!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I figured . . . I have to admit the whole process made me paranoid about forgetting something! I kept checking and rechecking to make sure I didn't leave something out! Anyway, I'm supposed to...

  16. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    krenee replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry! I just got turned down myself for a scholarship that I really wanted. I also have had straight As in my prereqs but had some bad grades on my transcript from 15 years ago, and it cost me...

  17. Spring 2007 is history!

    krenee replied to RunnerLuvLisa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So glad the semester's over too! It was a tough one for me, with Health Science (includes A&P and micro combined) and Chemistry, along with a one credit stupid required class. I am happy to...

  18. My school has a weird application process!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! As it turns out, they basically did give me an appointment just to hand me the application. They have all these wacky rules - it has to be mailed and can't be brought to the campus. It has...

  19. Course Load

    krenee replied to EstOyLista's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the classes, and also on your situation (whether you have kids, work full or part time, etc). Some classes require a LOT of study time. I took "Health Science" as they call it...

  20. Inova and NOVA information

    krenee replied to WahooRN08's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, I'm still pre-nursing so can't answer some of your questions but I do live in Northern Virginia. Inova hospitals have a really good reputation, and I'm sure the pay is fair. That said, this...

  21. Missed getting an "A" by 4 points...

    krenee replied to sarani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into "academic renewal"? My school has a deal where if it's been awhile, they will take the bad grades off your record. I have the same problem with my GPA but I'm getting the bad...

  22. Best study advice for A&P

    krenee replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did many things already mentioned, but one thing that helped me when I thought I couldn't possibly find any more time to study - I have a digital voice recorder and I recorded myself reading from...

  23. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    krenee replied to oguesswhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have to take a class at my school which is a 1 credit class - Student Development - and oh, I hated it, because it was taking time away from my "important" classes. Of course it was meant to be...

  24. I'm D-O-N-E !! Semester & Prereq's YAY!!

    krenee replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, that's awesome! I'm in the same boat, except I still have one exam left to take next week. Then I'm done and I will apply next week for the fall program. My house is a wreck as well, and...

  25. A plan for the future...

    krenee replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious if you don't think you got in, what's the rush? That sounds like a lot! I did take Chemistry & Health Science (which is anatomy/microbiology) at the same time, and that was tough . ....
