  1. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3/18 test done for Straighterline A&P I. So far much easier than their Chemistry and Microbiology classes. Probably because I took those classes first. Very pleased. I hope to finish this in 4-5...

  2. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My goal was an 80 so I’m pretty pleased. Straighterline finals are notoriously different than the quizzes that lead up to them. They essentially structure the classes to force you to take them...

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Went into the final for Microbiology with a 90%, finished the class with an 82%. I’m happy with that. The final was tough. Tons of questions related to genetics in my case, and a primary focus on...

    Indeed. I’m so high Church I ended up Catholic. Firmly learning the history of the Church has a tendency to do that. Thanks for your service. I miss being in

  5. Does prestige of program matter?

    Guest1142305 replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    I know of one particular local private for profit here in WI with a horrid reputation, but they also have zero standards and let anyone in so it’s not surprising some people can’t cut the mustard...

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my, that is a lot. Where is your mdiv through? I attended Liberty for my undergrad and majored in religion: biblical and theological studies. I’d love to do an mdiv through liberty after nursing...

  8. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Midterm mostly covers material rote from the book, but some problems were conceptual. Quizzes 4,5,6 were mostly from the book. Quiz 6 had some questions that I had to guess because they were...

  9. Best ABSN program

    Guest1142305 replied to kd9012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it were me, I would consider the quality of life in the area you choose, cost of living, etc. a school is a school

  10. 63K ABSN - Yes or No?

    Guest1142305 replied to Cmor's topic in General Students

    How much will you lose by taking an extra year to graduate? That’s the trade off between the absn vs the ADN, assuming you have the ability to complete the

  11. toxic culture, materialism, and unionism

    Guest1142305 replied to servantleader2020's topic in General Nursing

    Your experience is exactly why my goal is to shoot straight to pmhnp or fnp ASAP and get some

  12. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Straighterline Microbiology quizzes #1, 2 are pretty much straight route information from the book. Quiz 3 has multiple difficult scenario questions that are not adequately covered by the material....

  13. failing due to less than .1 of a percent

    Guest1142305 replied to folin8's topic in General Students

    I don’t see anything wrong with expecting people to come to lecture fully prepared and having read the

    Guest1142305 replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    ^^^^ This. Best

  15. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The last ~350 pages of Prescott’s Microbiology book is much easier to read as it builds upon previous information to describe human pathogens, and applied Microbiology in other fields. Refreshing. I...

  16. Does the online school matter? Online courses for nursing pre-requisites

    Guest1142305 replied to Future MSN's topic in School, College Programs

    Indeed. Housing is insane in Cali. It’s not good here, but far better. The home I paid $300k for in rural Virginia would go for 1-1.5 million here and 5 million in Cali or Portland. What a...

  17. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just an FYI for anyone considering Straighterline’s Microbiology. It is a full Microbiology class. The topics are not abbreviated toward healthcare professions like some Microbiology classes. It is...

  18. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Straighterline is incredibly cheap. Between various promotions and existing discount codes I will end up having paid less than $1000 for everything, the biggest expense being the laboratory kits. If I...

  19. Nursing salary vs. tuition repayment

    Guest1142305 replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    You need to do a cost benefit analysis of your various options. Use Wisconsin my state as an example. Cost of ADN ~$10,000 at 65 credits. Assume 2-3 years to completion depending on your diligence...

  20. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    965 pages left of reading for A&P 1&2 and Microbio. Mostly the last 600 pages of Seeley’s anatomy. Starting straighterline A&P 1&2 and finishing their Microbiology in the next few...

  21. Dismissed, what now?

    Guest1142305 replied to Forever Curls's topic in General Students

    Appeal. Talk to the dean, do what you have to do. You failed by such a small amount I’d be surprised if the didn’t give you another

  22. ADN vs ABSN vs DEMSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to miqbal1109's topic in General Students

    I suppose it depends heavily on if you can keep working during the ADN program and if you make a decent salary already. If you are industrious can then use wgu or capella to quickly bridge to the BSN...

  23. Nursing salary vs. tuition repayment

    Guest1142305 replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    My guess is they are doing an accelerated program. Cost becomes a non-issue if it gets you working a year

    Guest1142305 replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    If you haven’t considered it, there are federal loan forgiveness programs for particular employers. One obvious choice being the military. Good job, good pay, great experience, and you wipe out your...

    Guest1142305 replied to Future MSN's topic in School, College Programs

    Not sure about that person, but CC here in Wisconsin it’s not much better. Tuition and fees at CC comes to roughly $161.75 a credit. California’s cc rates are amazing. Lucky
