  1. School Shoes For Nurses

    BoogieScience replied to Rita MacDonald's topic in Nurses Rock

    As a nursing student about to start school next month, I completely misinterpreted this article. I was expecting a review of comfortable shoes that I could look into for clinicals. All jokes aside,...

  2. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    In asking the same person to write your letter, simply explain to them that you will be reapplying again. They'll understand the situation. Plus, it will be easier for the recommender since they...

  3. Accelerated Nursing

    BoogieScience replied to jimboshears's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that searching for accredited accelerated nursing programs can be daunting. I remember when I decided to take my prereqs I first decided which schools I wanted to apply to. I used the CCNE...

  4. easier direct entry BSN programs?

    BoogieScience replied to Agoose98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Easier direct entry BSN programs? Define easier. No matter where you apply it will be competitive. Instead of trying to find easier programs (which I don't believe exist), make your resume stronger. I...

  5. I need help deciding which prerequisites to take together!

    BoogieScience replied to PAsmalls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My sentiments exactly with the above posters in the order of taking these prereqs: I would take bio and chem, followed by a&p with stats, then micro with psych OR a&p with psych, then micro...

  6. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    Please add me to that FB group because I was also accepted to the OC campus! After 2 years of taking prereqs its finally paid off. I received an email last night to check my status. Can't wait to meet...

  7. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    For the OC campus... I looked back in the USF ME-MSN Spring 2019 thread: and I found that the OC campus started sending out status updates (waitlists and acceptances) as of November 2, 2018. If this...

  8. Letter of Recommendation for Nursing School Help

    BoogieScience replied to hce_9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a supervisor (in a non-nursing field) who has had to write letters of recommendations for my employees applying to grad school, the more information they gave me about themselves, the easier it was...

  9. Pre-Nursing Student feeling discouraged

    BoogieScience replied to cheekychavss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion a C is better than an incomplete on your transcript. Some tips that could help you improve your grade: -see your professor during office hours and ask him/her on how to do better. This...

  10. Conflict on continuing my education

    BoogieScience replied to nicole1030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have read many threads on this board where people were able to support a family while still going to nursing school. It's not impossible, it's all based on time management and juggling different...

  11. How to handle different prerequisites?

    BoogieScience replied to lyz33673's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a very similar situation as you where my schools of choice had different pre-reqs. I've applied to the school that I've already fulfilled most of my pre-reqs. If I do not get in then I'll move...

  12. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    I keep telling myself not to check this thread until after Nov 14, but I can't stop myself. I need to turn off email notifications,

  13. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    Prereq GPA: 4.0 Cum GPA: 3.22 Volunteer hours: 750+ in 2 hospitals I believe there was a delay last year and notices weren't sent out until late November/early

  14. Recommendations and advise?

    BoogieScience replied to tinamar_e's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No response is usually a "no" in my book. I recently asked a professor for a letter. He initially said yes. I emailed him my statement of purpose, resume, and unofficial transcripts so that he could...

  15. Recommendations and advise?

    BoogieScience replied to tinamar_e's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try emailing/calling the program and ask if they accept professional LOR's. Wouldn't hurt to ask. There wasn't any other professor where you had prior rapport during your undergrad? Try going to a...

  16. University of San Francisco ME-MSN, Spring 2020

    BoogieScience replied to jax225's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys! I was just about to start a thread so I'm glad I found this one. I applied to the OC campus. My undergrad degree is Biology. 10 weeks couldn't come sooner. Is it November

  17. Need advice. Going back to get my BSN at 31!

    BoogieScience replied to Jchin1121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 31 as well and I'm in a very similar situation as you in choosing nursing as a new career. I started searching for all the different types of nursing schools in SoCal. I used the American...

  18. My teacher said I should take the MCAT. What???

    BoogieScience replied to rslarsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Studying for the MCAT is no easy task; it will take time and practice to study for it, both of which you could use to focus on something else before starting your program (vacation, time with friends,...

  19. Placed on Performance Improvement Plan and Angry

    BoogieScience replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    In California the labor laws heavily favor the employee. I would imagine it's similar to other states. It's not the end of the world to receive a PIP. Use it as an opportunity to improve on what you...

  20. Male Nurses that lift weights and stay fit

    BoogieScience replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not a nurse YET, but I'm pre-nursing. Looking to complete my pre-reqs. For fitness I do Crossfit. Been doing it for 4 years. It's been

  21. Starting nursing school at 37...

    BoogieScience replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
