  1. Which way....Which way....

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

    I am not sure about the 4 years, but I do know about the 2 years that I am applying to. They only allow those with a 2.75 or higher to apply, but say that those candidates will more not get in. My...

  2. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    coolpeach replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always wanted to be a nurse for as long as I remember. I remember being in a crib, and my aunt bring me a gift. It was my first doctors kit. One of those cheap plastic ones with the bumps all...

  3. would you tell your teacher about cheating students?

    coolpeach replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just be careful...You don't want to get caught up in a big stressful situation. It would take time, and attention away from your

  4. would you tell your teacher about cheating students?

    coolpeach replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have ran into this also, but it's not my business or problem. I do REFUSE to let anyone cheat off me, but otherwise I ignore what everyone else is doing. I show up daily, study, pay attention, and...

    coolpeach replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    I live in Dallas also, but I am applying to Brookhavens ADN program. I looked up the Dallas nurse institute, and they ONLY offer the LVN program so I am assuming thats what you want to take at El...

  7. I'm Really Stuggling with Micro

    coolpeach replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could also find a couple of people in your class that do well on the test, and ask them if they would be interested in a study group. I have had study groups in each of my science classes....

  8. Help :( I've been really irresponsible this weekend..

    coolpeach replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been in this situation before. At one point I had a major test, and didn't study because my son has a stomach virus, and was vomiting, crying, and sick all weekend. I spent the whole weekend...

  9. I failed my driving test! Venting...

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

    Don't worry you WILL pass. When I was 16 I failed the test 3 times in a row because I couldn't parallel park. Now it's something I can laugh about, but I was pretty upset then. I thought I would never...

  10. Online Science Courses

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

    I have taken online developmental psych, and a computer class which they accept no problem. All of the Science classes that I needed (Biology, Chemistry, A&P 1 & 2, and Microbiology) weren't...

  11. Difference between a&p I and II?

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

    I took the same professor for both, and A&P II just took off where one stopped. The difference was that the body systems in two were much more complex, and difficult. We still had to memorize all...

  12. HESI Exam

    coolpeach replied to 3Triages's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking it in late Aug for the first time, and just ordered the study manual from the company that writes the test. I can tell you what the study manual shows will be on the test. Math seems very...

  13. Help... What to do if my teacher is rotten???

    coolpeach replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always try to pick the best teachers. I look on rateyourprofessor, pick yourprofessor, and ask around campus. Because I have kids I also have schedule to work around, and can't always just choose a...

  14. 2 lab sciences in 1 semester

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

    I have never done, but I know many people who have. If you want to make an A in both it will require a lot of time. My poor friends looked like they were about to pull their hair out by the end of the...

  15. It is confirmed!!!!!!

    coolpeach replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the person above that said that a sitter for a little while will be ok. When my kids were young I worked for a medical collections agency, and worked a split shift two nights a week....

  16. Financial aid

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

    I got a pell grant, and a loan. In addition my family is helping me out while I am in school which is a big help. I originally didn't think I would be able to afford to go to school, but it's all...

  17. Would I be a terrible nurse???

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

    When I was about 18 years old (I am 37 now) I worked an a CNA, and I hated it. I had always wanted to be a nurse, and I still do, but this was totally different then what I wanted. I worked in a...

  18. I have a dilemma, need your opinion...

    coolpeach replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck!!! I am taking it for the first time in Aug, and an 85 is looking really good right

  19. For those trying to figure out how to do this..............

    coolpeach replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to be in your shoes. I had to wait until my youngest was in school full time before I could start school. Then I just had to work my schedule around taking him to school, and picking him up....

  20. Totally Dejected........2 year waiting list!!!!!!!!!

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

    What state do you live in? What do you mean by waiting list? Here if I am not mistaken they do not use a waiting list. Each semester they have everyone apply, those with the highest points fill up...

  21. I have a dilemma, need your opinion...

    coolpeach replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You score is only good for a year? What test are you taking? I misunderstood, because I guess the schools here are different. You can only take the test twice a year if you want to improve your...

  22. Need Financial Help

    coolpeach replied to SHELL75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any advice, but I had to write you. The best friend I have made at school is in the same situation, and I thought it was her for a minute. She is in her late 40's and she is actually my...

  23. I have a dilemma, need your opinion...

    coolpeach replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to think out loud.... You have an 85 which is good, but if you take it in Aug you could make higher than an 85, and the higher grade would stand, but you could not make lower because no...

  24. Financial Question

    coolpeach replied to drgnfly170's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like everyone said your first step is to go online and fill out the fafsa. I believe someone posted the website above. You cannot get ANY aid through your school until you do this. You will need DL #,...

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

    At the school I am trying to get into it works like this.... Combined GPA for Chemistry, A&P1, English, and Psych. Of course the max here would be 4.0 Then you get 1 points for certain extra...
