    allthingsbright replied to ajs08RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

  5. I feel silly

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

    Just a short answer: Most schools have general Pre-requisites. That means you finish a set of classes in the college, THEN you apply for nursing classes. When you get in--and there is usually a...

  6. what to do about admissions (long)

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

    Have you thought about finishing your Psyche dregree then going for an accelerated BSN? Many people are doing that-you need to have a good GPA, but it sounds like you have that. I thought about...

  7. Scheduling pre-reqs - am I insane?

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

    My current lab partner in Microbiology is taking pre-calc (online!) and she is having a VERY hard time. Pre-calc is very time consuming. She also works full time, has young kids, etc. I would suggest...

  8. First Micro Exam

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

    Yeah, we have all been freaking out about celllular metabolism too-and the unknown bacteria thing. But what really sucks is our lab final-you have to get a 70% to pass the class-even if you walk in...

  11. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    allthingsbright replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I dont know where that dx came from, but it sounds completely out of whack with the kind of Western medicine practiced here in the US. It almost seems like an attempt for Nanda to be cutting edge or...

  12. You caught Cheaters... what would you do or have you done?

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

    I would just let the instructor know that you have heard talking during the tests and its bugging you. Let her handle it--dont point fingers and stay out of it otherwise. That way, you are doing the...

  13. time management

    allthingsbright replied to momx4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a sahm mom too who homeschools-and yeah, its hard. Things I do to save time: I always read my notes right after class--saves study time later cuz I remember stuff. I also nap with the kids in the...

  14. What do you do if you don't get in?!? Has this happened to anyone!?

    allthingsbright replied to butterfly80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I moved to another state after finishing fundamentals. I WAS IN! Then moved and no one would take my nursing credits, all the schools here had different PRE reqs for their program, and there are...

  15. Well I have to make a choice?

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

    Go for the BSN-its the best choice professionally in the long run...oh, but please dont get a big head about it!!! LOL!

    allthingsbright replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    allthingsbright replied to CRNAorBust's topic in General Nursing

    I'll second the "don't lie" part! I would probably use other wording besides "fired" but own up to it if asked and tell people how you plan to improve on the areas you mentioned that you are lacking...
