1. Nursing School Trouble

   AspiringNurse2019 replied to AspiringNurse2019's topic in Student Assist

   Another nursing program there? Potentially, but if I can't finish my ABSN I don't see the purpose of pursuing a different nursing program with the same school that messed me over, as I definitely do not trust them anymore. I already have a non-nursin...

2. Nursing School Trouble

   AspiringNurse2019 replied to AspiringNurse2019's topic in Student Assist

   @londonflo I definitely agree that there are better options out there. But I don't understand how they could do this to me after I put in so much work and money. I'm out over 30k and multiple classes that won't transfer. Also, the time I wasted savin...

   A university I attended made me withdraw from their hybrid nursing program due to having COVID symptoms over a year ago. I tried to come back, but they told me they didn't have clinicals in my area and never would, even though the admissions departme...

   AspiringNurse2019 replied to cath.eter's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! After college, nurses pretty much rely on basic math and dimensional analysis unless they are in research. You sound pretty prepared which is great! I would say select the course you feel most comfortable with. Best wishes on your nursing journey...

7. Associate's or Accelerated BSN?

   AspiringNurse2019 replied to vlrc's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you calculated your living expenses if you choose the ABSN? Your final decision depends a lot on how soon you want to enter the workforce as a nurse and your financial situation. One of the reasons I decided on an ABSN program is because I want ...

8. ABSN Pre-reqs

   AspiringNurse2019 replied to hr2020's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You found and applied to 3 programs, which is great! You might not have to worry about applying to other programs. Unfortunately, I could not find any ABSN programs that do not require chemistry. If you decide to take an accelerated class be sure to...

    Hi there, Yes, it's definitely possible to get a letter of recommendation from a professor who teaches online. I have requested several for college admissions and scholarship applications. I'm sure your professors will be happy to write you a letter ...

12. TEAS and HESI

    AspiringNurse2019 replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took the HESI a while back and there were not any microbiology questions. You don't need to take microbiology in order to take the HESI. Use the HESI study guide by HESI (ISBN: 9780323353786) to prepare. This study guide helped me well prepare, alo...
