    waitingforthedream replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

    I say BSN also. Statistics was my worst enemy, could not understand a word the teacher said. I ended up with a B, but I made sure I got a tutor to help me, I knew this was my weakness. A tutor will...

    waitingforthedream replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    waitingforthedream replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

  18. Got kicked out of an RN program don't know what to do

    waitingforthedream replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    Well, not really. I mean, you really do need to know the calculations. They do give you three chances. No 100% after 3X, you are out of there. The thing that ticked everyone off is the fact that they...

    waitingforthedream replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    Our school just upped the grades you need to pass to an 80%, lost alot of people from that and the fact that you need to get a 100% on every med test. It is tough, but there are other ways to get...

    waitingforthedream replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If I went to hospitals I would ask to go up to HR for an applications, they are tough to get into, they usually will tell you to fill out online. It is the other places you need to focus on. Rehab,...
