  2. How to manage EVERYTHING

    forevernursem replied to Snmichael's topic in General Students

    What I find helpful is keeping a planner. On each day, write what homework you have to get done, due dates, and how long to study for. Also, add your work from your personal life, such as your kids...

  3. Take statistics in RN program or wait?

    forevernursem replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I would take stats along with your nursing classes. You just need to make sure that you have plenty of time to study for all of your classes. If you wait to take stats, you may not remember all of...

  4. Failed nursing school at last sem

    forevernursem replied to Angel1989's topic in General Students

    Usually if you fail a nursing course, another program won't take you in and let you continue where you left off. You will get credit for your prereqs and all of your general education classes, but you...

  5. RN to BSN?

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

    No, you don't need to be a RN before BSN. For nursing there are two routes: ADN nurses or BSN nurses. ADN are associate degree nurses, this is usually obtained through a community college. This route...

  6. High school diploma

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

    forevernursem replied to 0052273's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been going full time since I graduated high school and it will take me 5 years for a BSN. It took me 2 years for the prereqs (12-13 credits per semester), and I took one class during the summer....

  8. Am I Too Old to Go to School?

    forevernursem replied to Les Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not too late for you! There are students in my nursing classes who are way older than 40. This Fall start doing your nursing prereqs at a local community college, because those will take you 1-2...

    forevernursem replied to Sammei's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  10. Watches for Nursing Students

    forevernursem replied to Monica.Aguilar12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school allow you to wear an Apple Watch? Because in my nursing program we have to wear a watch with a second hand for when we check pulses. I would buy a cheap $10-$20 watch, so if something...

  11. Nursing School Essentials

    forevernursem replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in General Students

  12. Pregnant & in college?

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

    I don't know how stressed out you get, but I feel if you have enough time to put towards your classes, then it will reduce your stress level and you'll be fine. If you have a busy schedule and can't...

  13. ADN Program in California

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

    Hello, If you could get accepted into an ADN program this year I would definitely go that route instead of waiting a whole year to get into an ABSN program. Then, after you graduate you can go full...

  14. please give me advice!

    forevernursem replied to cozmo09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your goal is to become a RN, then don't do the LPN route. It will be more money in the long run because you will have to pay for LPN school, then RN school. Also, it will take much more time. If...

  15. Chances and Advice on getting in?!

    forevernursem replied to niajasmine98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really just depends on what classes the school looks at when accepting students for nursing. Do they look at overall GPA or just the nursing prereqs? If the school looks at the overall GPA, then...

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

  18. How to know if nursing is the career for me?

    forevernursem replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    I would volunteer at a local hospital or job shadow a nurse so you can see what they do on the job. Also, I recommend watching youtube videos of nursing students like the "day in my life" videos....

  19. Binder questions

    forevernursem replied to nnschusterman's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I love 1.5 inch binders! How many binders depends on how many classes you're taking. Maybe one for each class?

  20. How long does it take to get ADN including prerequisites, on average?

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

    Hello. For me, my ADN program will take me all together 4 years. I started college as soon as I graduated high school and went full time (12-13 credit hours a semester plus one summer class). I took...

  21. I made a C in chem 1406! What grades do I need to make in my other classes?

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

    Even if you end up getting a 2.75 GPA doesn't mean you will get accepted. All schools have a cut off GPA, but depending on how many people apply and what their GPAs are, that's what is going to...

  24. Retake any prerequisites?

    forevernursem replied to Nnjohns09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I would definitely retake the biology class. First off, I don't think colleges even accept science classes from that long ago. For example, the college I'm at only accepts science credits taken...

  25. Starting Over From Scratch

    forevernursem replied to atynes94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do good on your nursing prereqs, then it's a good chance of you getting in. Most nursing programs don't look at your full GPA, but just your nursing prereqs GPA (which varies school to school)....
