   That's really good to hear! I'm glad I'm not the only one! Everyone keeps making me feel bad saying that if I can't handle then it's gonna be hard for me. Just gave mom her first injection. It went great! I didn't feel faint at all and just focused o...

   My mom tripped and fell this past weekend and hit her chin/head pretty hard on the sidewalk. She also broke her kneecap and had surgery on it yesterday. She was telling me about what her knee looked like after she fell and was saying it looked lumpy ...

3. Idk which road to take

   RNintraining817 replied to Jmonegro0429's topic in Pre-Nursing

   RNintraining817 replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

   I'm sure that OP doesn't think nursing school is the "easy way out". Orgo and nursing school are completely different. They're both difficult in different ways. Orgo requires you to think a different way about things and it's really hard to explain t...

   RNintraining817 replied to DevinTheGirl's topic in General Students

   We had to either have a high prereq GPA or a HESI score greater than 90. I got in with a 96 on the HESI, as I haven't yet finished all my prereqs! There are some students who haven't done any prereqs and will take all of them while they're taking nur...

   RNintraining817 replied to RN2b2018's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you tried Khan Academy? They have videos for practically every concept in chemistry. Also, most colleges offer some kind of free tutoring on campus. You should also try and meet with your professor with any questions you may have. Often, if they...

   I've had a similar situation happen to me this application period! The school lost my transcripts and denied me saying that my application was incomplete. I've called a few times and they're still investigating. They have admitted that they lost the ...
