  1. Post here if you are done with finals!

    Galore replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My last final was last night! I'm still waiting to hear back from the nursing schools I've applied to for confirmation, but I'm pretty sure I'm done with all my prereqs now

  2. Quick Question about ordering books online..

    Galore replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I'm not sure about an edition, I just email the professor ahead of time. I've had great luck buying from amazon.com and half.com and saved tons of money...I just look at the feedback and usually...

  3. financial aid---quiting my full time job

    Galore replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not to sound discouraging..I would pursue the issue with your school's financial aid office but don't expect much. I was able to finally file as independent last year and my whopping $30k gross income...

  4. Clearwater or Tampla Florida RN pay and cost of living

    Galore replied to filnurseuk's topic in Florida Nursing

    Something to consider if you plan on staying in FL and buying a home is that even if you can afford the mortgage, the insurance and taxes are outrageous. If you choose to live in a coastal area (and...

  5. fau nursing program

    Galore replied to 2bnursety2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    I also applied for FAU's accelerated program that starts next summer. It is all a points system based on your GPA, 1-2 page essay, and HESI test score. Some schools seem to require a lot more for...

  6. Hesi Exam

    Galore replied to 2bnursety2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can go to the HESI website and purchase a small study guide for $25. The material is pretty basic - the hard part is that you probably learned all that stuff in grade school. Different schools...

  7. No healthcare experience? You can DO it!

    Galore replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, and thanks for the

  8. BSN application essay questions

    Galore replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, I just emailed

  9. Anyone afraid of not getting in?

    Galore replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! Im applying to a few backup schools but there's only 1 that is really affordable and doesn't mean a complete life upheaval, so the pressure is on. At this point all I can really do is...

  10. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

    Galore replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's exactly what I meant. I think it's pretty clear that I'm not asking for a list of the answers, I'm wondering what kind of category these vocab words belong to. I don't have any previous...

  11. Any Michiganders take the HESI recently? (the prenursing school one)

    Galore replied to MIKelly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Can someone who's already taken the HESI give me a few examples of the vocabulary that was on there? The study guide lists a few pages but they're more general medical terms, nothing specific like...

  12. BSN application essay questions

    Galore replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would anyone be willing to proofread mine? It's 2 pages so I'd prefer to email it. I feel my writing skills are decent but I'm having trouble with a great introduction, and worry about sounding like...

  13. accelerated BSN experiences

    Galore replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would love to hear anyone's experiences as well! I've already applied to FAU's accelerated program (my 1st choice due to location) and will be applying to Jacksonville and UF as

  14. Does anyone know of any A&P courses that you can get into without the pre-reqs?

    Galore replied to wannabeenurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college let me take A&P I without any science pre-reqs, and I got an A. I had taken bio and chemistry in high school, but that was about 5 years ago. I think having a basic...

  15. *~Psych 001

    Galore replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've found that most of my psych classes are like going to a stand up comedy act - psychology teachers are always the funniest and most laidback, from my experience. General Psychology was an easy A,...

  16. Freaking out about Anatomy dissection...

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

    We mainly worked on cats in A&P 2, but I did dissect rats in high school biology. It was kind of unsettling just because rats disgust me in general, but it is doable. What I basically did is...

  17. Prereqs at a Community College

    Galore replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as your nursing school accepts transfer credits from the CC, I'd go with the CC. I did a bachelor's degree at a 4 year university and it was great for the "college experience" and had a lot...

  18. Dumb question about buying books online..

    Galore replied to JoshuaC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work in banking, so this is what I've seen at least with the way my company operates. If your debit card has a Visa or MC logo, it really has 2 separate functions depending on how you use it. If...

  19. people who work full time

    Galore replied to deener618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work fulltime (40+ hrs/wk plus commute) and limit myself to 2 classes per semester. Maybe if my job wasn't so demanding and rigid on the hours I must be available, I could squeeze in one more but...

  20. what books should I hold on to?

    Galore replied to gudiarani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I kept my A&P text and will probably do the same with Chemistry, but I sold back my microbiology texts. For lecture we never once used the book, and my lab manual was helpful but I felt my...

  21. Microbiology, Help!!!!

    Galore replied to babyphat's topic in General Students

    Here's the website we used for my class, it's a course outline but if you click on the links it will pull up photos of everything we did in lab. The practice tests are good for review:...

  22. Never thought you'd be a nurse?

    Galore replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I first entertained the thought of being a nurse when I was thinking about switching majors in college. I was only a few semesters short of my business degree though, and the thought of having to...

  23. When to apply for nursing school?

    Galore replied to wackyj2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check with each school. All of the schools I'm interested in have explicit application procedures/deadlines listed on the school's website under the college of nursing

  24. How much are you spending on books this semester?

    Galore replied to casi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I had discovered online bookstores sooner! I've bought used texts on ebay, half.com (which is part of ebay), and amazon.com. First I look at campusbooks.com which will search all of the major...

  25. Help. Pt. St. Lucie, W. Palm Beach, Miami. Where Do I go???? Assistance??? Thank You!

    Galore replied to pixystks63's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know anything about the hospital systems yet, but I would also factor in what kind of area you'd prefer to live in. Miami is much more urban and developed than Port St. Lucie. The reason the...
