  1. Nursing Program Interview!

    idkmybffjill replied to BigBallerNurses's topic in General Students

    If you use the search feature here and put in "nursing school interview," you'll get quite a few topics with some sample questions. I'd also assume they are going to ask you why you want to be a nurse...

  2. Need Help Finding a Job!

    idkmybffjill replied to lashaun1995's topic in General Students

    I imagine most of those agencies are going to want people who will stay with them long-term. Especially if they put a lot of money into background checks and training or whatever else. The ones who...

  3. How to STRENGTHEN my Nursing application to compensate for a low GPA

    idkmybffjill replied to alilani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would depend a bit on the programs you are looking at, as that would affect what you are being evaluated on. If the program requires you to take a standardized test like the HESI A2, a great score...

  4. Summer job resume/cover letter help

    idkmybffjill replied to Madejose's topic in General Students

    I know nursing students can often be hired as patient care techs at the hospital, as they don't necessarily require a CNA certificate. But I'm not sure it's the same for nursing homes

  5. Programs With No Pre-Reqs (Or no expiration date)

    idkmybffjill replied to flocarmody's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the schools that don't require prereqs at all are going to be costly. I'm sure there are some colleges up north that have a longer expiration period or don't have a time limit for prereqs. I...

  6. Summer job resume/cover letter help

    idkmybffjill replied to Madejose's topic in General Students

    I imagine the employers knowing you'll only be there for the summer will affect your chances of getting a job at a hospital because it takes time and money to get your started. It's not a job that...

  7. Admissions interviews

    idkmybffjill replied to lianam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you search for nursing school interview questions here, you'll find several threads with of possible questions. For most people, I don't think there's usually a way to be super unique in your...

  8. Traveling for School?

    idkmybffjill replied to mitcheml98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to be 50 min to an hour away from the campus when I start in May and about an hour or so from the clinical sites. I hate driving personally, but it's going to be cheaper for me than renting...

  9. Science help

    idkmybffjill replied to daynacourtneymary's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Review the systems with things like Khan Academy, which has a lot of videos, or Crash Course A&P on Youtube. I didn't mind the free practice tests you can find online personally. The wording...

  10. Self-plagiarism?

    idkmybffjill replied to SoCalSN's topic in General Students

    One option is to print out some of your other care plans to show that you tend to word things similarly because that's kind of convention. However, there's a risk that they'd freak out and consider it...

  11. Self-plagiarism?

    idkmybffjill replied to SoCalSN's topic in General Students

    So you just ended up wording sentences like the previous care plan you made due to using the same sources/it just being that you write consistently the same way? I mean, if you have a copy of the...

  12. TEAS SCORE AND GPA

    idkmybffjill replied to Simplymey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends entirely on your program, how it prioritizes your stats, and how competitive the program is. So it's hard to say one way or the

  13. Nursing PreReqs

    idkmybffjill replied to mhite226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most applications are goi g to require you to have completed most or all of the prereqs, especially the science ones, before applying. So needing three science classes might not qualify you to

  14. Need advice: ADN or ABSN in Boston

    idkmybffjill replied to mother_of_zeus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With that amount of debt, I would go with the cheapest option, which is most likely the ADN and then your RN to BSN as you work. You can check the cost of some of the ABSN programs though just to...

  15. Nursing PreReqs

    idkmybffjill replied to mhite226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I now see you said that in your post. I must have skipped over that. I'd say just take your prereqs at that point. Five classes at a university is a good chunk of change still, which can be used...

  16. Nursing PreReqs

    idkmybffjill replied to mhite226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It kind of depends on if you currently get financial aid or not. You generally no longer qualify for grants for undergraduate courses once you graduate with your first bachelor's degree. So if you are...

  17. Last semester of Pre-reqs- HELP!!

    idkmybffjill replied to Profstudent2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd vote ADN or the ABSN depending on the cost. Some ABSNs are inexpensive, and I think those can be worth it. But if it's a large price, I'd stick with the ADN program. Hospitals in your city may...

  18. Teaching during nursing school

    idkmybffjill replied to callinshotz's topic in General Students

    Know a few people who went into teaching, you'd be spending a bunch of time prepping lessons and grading. I think it'd require a lot of time and effort to really learn how to be a good teacher, and...

  19. UNF BSN 2018

    idkmybffjill replied to idkmybffjill's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks. I was slightly shocked I actually got that high. I have seen some people on the site mentioning getting like a 98% on it, and I can't imagine. Beth did post a link to info on signing up for...

  20. UNF BSN 2018

    idkmybffjill replied to idkmybffjill's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure. I was assuming the program did it since all the students mentioned that we'd have our own FB groups per cohort. It looks like the group that Beth invited us to is a different one just...

  21. Is Nursing Right for me?

    idkmybffjill replied to kwdamo2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, make sure nursing is something you will enjoy. Consider seeing if you can shadow a nurse somewhere just to make sure it is what you want to do. 1. I think if that's something you are willing to...

  22. Failed out of nursing school, looking to reapply after three years. Do I even have a shot?

    idkmybffjill replied to chancec13's topic in General Students

    If you have fixed these issues and have good stats otherwise, then I think you have a shot still. I've seen quite a few ABSN programs that look more overall at the student, not just their grades and...

  23. Failing classes

    idkmybffjill replied to Ianchioma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By semesters do you mean four classes in each or two courses taken in two different semesters? For the former, I mean, four F's/D's might put a dent in your overall GPA, but if you are able to do...

  24. A&P 2 and Microbiology in the same semester?

    idkmybffjill replied to seericap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took them together, and I was fine. It might take a bit of time management and organizational skills depending on how difficult the professors are, but it's certainly

  25. Nursing school Loans?

    idkmybffjill replied to princesspunch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I third filling out a FAFSA if you haven't. Financial aid would definitely help you going forward, and it will also offer low/no interest loans, which would at least be better than private ones. Apply...
