  1. Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

    allthingsbright replied to jphume's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, specific: Lots of pressure to make a certain grade to stay in the program (ie 75%, 76, 77, 78, 80, etc). Learning to think like a nurse is hard--its called critical thinking and its a skill that...

    allthingsbright replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know what you need to have done in order to apply? Some colleges want you to have all your core stuff before you can apply, some all your sciences, etc. Many colleges provide a "program of...

    allthingsbright replied to lostinparadise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P helped somehwat with micro in terms of the chemistry stuff at the beginning, but honestly they are different beasts. I study differently and everything. I am finding Micro to be harder for...

  11. Pinning Ceremony Attire

    allthingsbright replied to EmilyCCRN's topic in General Students

    Our school lets each class do things the way they want-we vote on stuff and go from there. Most classes choose to wear whites and we get to choose our pin. We can also vote on whether or not to wear...

  17. Does it really take two years to get into Nursing school?

    allthingsbright replied to joleigha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Which class is easier?

    allthingsbright replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Students

    My votes would be for world religions and spanish. Ethics would be interesting and so would philosophy, but lots of "head" work involved. Of course, it all depends on what areas you excel in. Maybe...
