  1. GPA 3.4

    forevernursem replied to leo_1009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People in my nursing program got accepted with a GPA way lower than a 3.4. It just depends on the school and how many people are applying that year. The cut off GPA varies year from year, so I would...

  2. Help! I am trying to decide on which program to choose!

    forevernursem replied to Meggdilla's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The RN

  3. When to actually start nursing classes?

    forevernursem replied to HeatherG1123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take the science prereqs before you start your program. They're time consuming and require a lot of studying, plus the information you learn in them will help you in your nursing

  4. Anatomy Or Physiology?

    forevernursem replied to Snake.Dub's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take them together in the same

  5. Should I take Intro to Biology and Microbiology in the same semester?

    forevernursem replied to Moonkitten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school we couldn't take intro bio and micro together because intro had to be taken first. But, if you can take them together I would. The info in both of the classes will

  6. Help??

    forevernursem replied to nursingabbey20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I can't answer your first question because I don't have any children. Nursing is a full time job, and the students in my class that have children do struggle a little bit more than the students...

  7. Should I retake the HESI?

    forevernursem replied to ansleybgsu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the HESI exam is what helps determined if you're going to be accepted into a nursing program or not, I would retake it. 85% is an average grade, but isn't competitive enough for nursing. Best of...

  8. Advice and honest thoughts about Nursing school needed.

    forevernursem replied to all in a days work's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This makes me really sad because it seems like after you were told you wouldn't be successful as a nurse, you started to doubt yourself. If nursing is your calling, then go for it! Don't let people...

  9. RN OR LPN ??help!!

    forevernursem replied to LovingNursing20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your goal is a FNP, then I wouldn't waste your time getting your LPN degree, I would go straight for the RN. Just like what the others said, if you're not accepted into an RN program yet, then go...

  10. How difficult is nursing school?

    forevernursem replied to alittlepatience's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a very subjective question and every person you ask will give you a different answer. It really just depends on what type of student you are, how well you study, how you do in your prereq...

  11. Difference between programs

    forevernursem replied to Rachel28374's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An RN is someone with either an ADN or BSN degree. ADN nurses are paid the same as BSN nurses, and both do the same job. BSN degree nurses have more opportunities. A lot of hospitals prefer to hire...

  12. Excited but nervous... help

    forevernursem replied to aclay420's topic in LPN to RN

    Congrats on getting accepted! It's normal to be nervous. I wouldn't study anything before school starts, I would just relax. Once your program starts you're going to be BUSY and wish you had a break...

  13. Nursing or MD??

    forevernursem replied to Queen_Nefertiri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing and medicine are both very different careers. I would do a TON of research before you make a decision. If you decide that your heart is with medicine, I would go in that direction, even if...

  14. Buying previously used books

    forevernursem replied to herewego23's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I used to buy all of my books new, but within the last few semesters I've been buying used books on eBay or Amazon, and I've been saving 100s of dollars. I think it's a great

  15. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

    forevernursem replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I have the Mac Air and love it

  16. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    forevernursem replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    Everything you listed that you had done is considered unprofessional behavior, and no nursing school would have put up with it. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I don't think pulling the race card...

  17. Pre A-BSN Question

    forevernursem replied to sleepyinscience's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think shadowing a NP is necessary. My school didn't look at any of these things when accepting people into the program. My school only looked at nursing prerequisites GPA, HESI, and if you...

  18. GPA

    forevernursem replied to ally252's topic in Chamberlain College

    With a 2.5 GPA it's impossible to make it in. You would want AT LEAST a 3.5 GPA on your nursing prerequisites in order to be accepted. Some schools don't look at your full GPA, and only look at your...

  19. Pharmacology

    forevernursem replied to Ceelangatpharm's topic in General Students

    Why did you fail? My teacher provided power-points and outlines, so I would study those everyday (each day about 3-4 hours of studying). Flashcards work as well to help you remember the drugs action,...

  20. Where Should I start?

    forevernursem replied to Nurse2b_Cook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My answer is: Nothing! Relax and enjoy your time off before school starts. Once it starts you're going to be so

  21. I want to be a nurse in Ontario!! But I have a Business Degree!!! HELP

    forevernursem replied to loloTO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Lauren! This is a tuff situation, because there really isn't a way to skip steps on becoming a nurse. The first step you have to take would be doing your prerequisites. Since you already have a...

  22. How many hours a week do you spend on school?

    forevernursem replied to maddiebruner's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I'm in class/lab 9 hours per week (3 days per week, each 3 hour classes/lab), and 2 days at the hospital (8 hours per day, so 16 hours per week). I'm at school or the hospital Monday-Friday....

  23. RN vs. BSN vs. Other

    forevernursem replied to JB21591's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the pervious post. One thing is that ADNs are still being hired by hospitals and literally everywhere that hire nurses. But, you would have to get your BSN within a certain amount of...

  24. ADN? BSN? ABSN?

    forevernursem replied to longtimereader's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! First I would like to say, after finishing your prerequisites for nursing school and applying for a nursing program, most programs don't look at your full GPA. Colleges look at different things...

  25. Lost Pre-Med Student: CRNA or AA?

    forevernursem replied to MementoMori's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Look into ABSN programs. One good thing about nursing is that they're SO many opportunities. Even after becoming a nurse, you might find that a CRNA is not what interests you anymore, and may go into...
