  5. What Should I Do Now?????????????

    coolpeach replied to jakaden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to retake chem to turn a B into an A. I know its frustrating, but has to be done anyway. You will do better the second time around. Try to figure out ways to relax before the tests because you...

  6. Not in school, what should I study while waiting?

    coolpeach replied to springing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will more than likely have to take a college entrance exam so that might be a good place to start. Find out what test they use and get a study guide. Math and algebra are usually the toughest for...

  7. Online Nutrition

    coolpeach replied to HolliMom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    coolpeach replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. What to do while you wait?

    coolpeach replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a semester wait, and then the summer. I took a couple of classes I thought I would enjoy, and that would help me even though I didn't need them. I also quit smoking so that would be one less...

  11. Will this affect my acceptance in to my nursing program?

    coolpeach replied to naide88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it doesn't affect your performance then you shouldn't have to worry. When do you turn in your physical? We don't turn ours in until we are already in the program, and go to success camp prior to...

  12. Will this affect my acceptance in to my nursing program?

    coolpeach replied to naide88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check with your DR. I know we have to take a drug screening prior to starting our clinicals. I would hate for your meds to show up, and then you have to confess to taking them, and not listing...

  15. is biology really necessary???

    coolpeach replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on each class. For us Bio was required before A&P, and we skipped the sections about biology in the A&P book because the professor said we should already know it. Then we...

  16. is biology really necessary???

    coolpeach replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required it prior to A&P1 and 2. I remember taking Biology and thinking it was hard (my first major science), but I am glad I did take it. We revisited a lot of those hard topics in both...

  17. Need some opinions on a problem

    coolpeach replied to morningstarRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I would stay out of it. I mean you really are NOT involved because you do NOT have a complaint. The only people who should go file a complaint are those who are not happy with their...

    coolpeach replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. GPA drop due to illness. Am I in trouble?

    coolpeach replied to Koala33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Alternates???

    coolpeach replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I got accepted at accepts the top 40 out of about 250 applicants. I heard that they take at least 1 to two alternates each app period for one reason or another. Do you know where you are on...

    coolpeach replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Busymom, If you look on the schedule you can often just stand outside the door, and hear everything. Many time professors will even leave the door open and you can see. It's effective and
