  1. What would you do?

    EmDash replied to studentnurse5694's topic in General Students

    It sounds like it would be a waste of money and time to retake A&P. Save your money and effort for nursing school because ultimately getting in an honors society sooner and having an A instead of...

  2. What Steps Should I Take After Getting Rejected to Nursing Schools

    EmDash replied to camillabeltran's topic in General Students

    I agree with Sour Lemon. Double check the requirements and rules for each program to ensure you are maximizing your time and money. I can't really weight in on your decision to pull out of the...

  3. Do I need A's?

    EmDash replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually past students or if you can find a thread here (or elsewhere) with people applying to that specific program. Sometimes the program's websites will also tell

  4. Do I need A's?

    EmDash replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's also good to researched the average GPA of those accepted into the program rather than just the minimum requirement. I believe the program I'm in now requires a 2.9, but the average of those...

  5. 90 on the TEAS without studying... should I retake it?

    EmDash replied to halfcourt95k's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I would say it entirely depends on HOW competitive it is and where your score current stacks up in that (and maybe the cost). If you know what the average amount of points is for those...

  6. Pell Grant Denied... Help!

    EmDash replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Because you aren't yet in a bachelor's program, and they view those as "extra" classes that should have been done during your associate's or are now courses for "personal development." You should be...

  7. 12 and 1/2 hours with only 30 minutes for lunch

    EmDash replied to blenderbottle's topic in General Students

    It sounds like she's trying to get you ready for how busy nursing can be. Some of the nurses I know barely get to take their lunch and definitely don't get breaks in between. Though they might be able...

  8. Hypomagnesemia

    EmDash replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I haven't gone in depth into electrolyte imbalances in my program yet, so I'm not knowledgeable enough to explain myself. But I can find relevant youtube videos! This one mentions the relation...

  9. Advice wanted( huge decision) Pre- Nursing

    EmDash replied to ConfusedPreNursing99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm honestly still confused by what you mean. Are you taking the online courses through this university or another one? If it's through this one, then I'm very confused by how the university would...

  10. Advice wanted( huge decision) Pre- Nursing

    EmDash replied to ConfusedPreNursing99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how the college won't accept the credits but a program within that college will? Either a credit transfers and is equivalent or it isn't. Because if the overall university doesn't accept...

  11. Essay for admission into nursing school

    EmDash replied to Seana21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, this is the information that you need to start with: "As I grew up, I witnessed a lot of people backin my country striving through poverty as they tried to raise money to cater for treatment...

  12. Diversity in 100 words or less!

    EmDash replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    You really just have to stick to the most important information and leave out anything that isn't as impactful or easily explained. I mean, I would say something like: As an older applicant who is a...

  13. Test teas question

    EmDash replied to LindseyT99's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You have the ability to pull up the calculator for any questions. I'm pretty sure the calculator is present in every section. You are able to go back to any question in that specific section until you...

  14. Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Nursing School?

    EmDash replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    Before you go out and buy a new laptop, when is the last time you've uninstalled and reinstalled the OS? If you've never done it, especially if you visit a lot of websites or download a lot of stuff,...

  15. feedback on admission essay

    EmDash replied to mackenstadtb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the structure is good as well as the overall essay. There are some (not terrible) grammatical issues throughout, so I would get someone who knows grammar rules to proofread it. There's also a...

  16. Where Should I start?

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

    I wouldn't stress too much over getting a jump on the information. You can probably spend some time finding websites and video channels that work for your learning style so that you can save some time...

  17. Nursing School Admission

    EmDash replied to painelex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's going to depend on how the program evaluates candidates for admission. If they only look at the relevant prereq grades and don't have a resume/interview/essay portion in which you mention this...

  18. Does Financial Aid cover BSN programs totally?

    EmDash replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would probably see if you can set up an appointment at CSU to ask them exactly how that might work for them. That or make an additional appointment with the financial aid advisor to better...

  19. 2nd Degree- School Matter?

    EmDash replied to kayrose25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not usually. You might run into someone that it will matter to, but from what I've been told, for the most part, facilities don't care as long as the program was accredited. I personally think NCLEX...

  20. Study Skills Question

    EmDash replied to Eppersonar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I echo trying to understand and rationalize the information rather than just memorize it. If you can get how something works, you can always reason out the rest, such as the side effects and what...

  21. I have to write an essay type of application and I just need feedback on my topic

    EmDash replied to bridgettann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My feedback would be to revise and rethink your replies, first off. Every single thing you mention should relate back to nursing and nursing school in some manner. So while the question may be "How...

  22. Loans for 2nd Degree

    EmDash replied to lifelive's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have paid back the federal loans you took out for the first degree and/or the amount you owe has not reached the limit (like 57k for independent students), you should be offered federal loans...

  23. I need help choosing courses!

    EmDash replied to hn7201's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may need to explain more about what type of courses you are taking for people to better help? Because I've never heard of college-level courses that are taken in high school that also disqualify...

  24. Which Nursing Program ?

    EmDash replied to Ndcg12's topic in General Students

    Personally, I quickly decided direct entry MSN programs were not a good option for me. It costs more. You run the risk of the hospitals in the area not looking favorably on your degree and not hiring...

  25. I'm worried I might have to take remedial because of my placement test

    EmDash replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    Are you able to retake the placement test if you don't hit what you want? I know my friend was given the opportunity to retake the exam for a small fee (and I believe could have taken it some...
