    Asherah replied to aggiepack177's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eh? This is news to me... If you want to purse Psych nursing, go for the BSN, forget the BA or BS Psychology. As someone who holds a degree in that field, just trust me. You would be taking the...

    Looking for BSN program after my ADN in Southern California

    Asherah replied to OCBreeze4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those in California...UC or CS school?

    Asherah replied to OCBreeze4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All I can say about California is...evaluate the schools on their own merit, decide by speaking to alumni, faculty, etc. (not possible with UCI as they are just beginning their program) and apply to...

    another "what are my chances" thread

    I have bad credit but need loan for school

    Asherah replied to goldruss17's topic in General Students

    You could always try peer-to-peer lending groups such as www.prosper.com, where individuals lend to each other. Do a Google search for other reputable companies. They do require a credit check and...

    Hippa Gone Wild

    Asherah replied to 9309's topic in General Nursing

    "oh. . .You're going to a COMMUNITY college?"

    Asherah replied to Toodee's topic in California Nursing

    To which you reply confidently, "Yes, I am!" No need to get into an argument over the fact that each type of program graduates students who take the same board examination to become Registered Nurses....

    Has your supervisor ever told you to go to work when you were throwing up?

    Asherah replied to Amethyst Veralyn's topic in General Nursing

    No, you definitely gave a clear explanation, however I agree with the other posters who replied that the fact that you are given an "informal talk" for calling out three times in two years, that's...

    How many schools will you have attended?

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

    I've got you beat! Eight schools through the course of undergrad and pre-reqs. Six schools (in two school districts) just for pre-reqs as all of the science courses are horribly impacted in Southern...

    I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    Asherah replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As you say, it is to late to withdraw from the course. Only you can examine your study methods and determine what can give you the extra kick to earn the A you so desperately need/want. Have you...

    What does a EFC of 766 mean?

    Asherah replied to 2bnurselove08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Put it this way, an EFC under $1000 is spectacular. My EFC has always been around $10,000 (and I really don't make that much money to justify that after basic living expenses are paid) Whatever the...
