  1. I am about to give up

    NurseJeanB replied to blkbutterfly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, in my area, you can get an ADN and then bridge over to BSN, and it takes the same amount of time. Best of luck to you. Don't give up on your dream, because all the hardwork and frustration will...

  2. Is it true fail two classes and you`re out!

    NurseJeanB replied to sar4tee's topic in General Students

    Yes, our school if you get an F in any class you are out. If you get a D in one you can take the class again, plus you have to take another course of independent study and the grade is decided between...

  3. tips for nursing prereq students?

    NurseJeanB replied to texasmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello I think if you brush up on basic Algebra you will be okay for Chemistry. There are some metric conversions, so know the difference between basic metric units and centi, milli, etc. and how to...

  4. The Teas Test gives me butterflies!!

    NurseJeanB replied to RN,BSN84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I took the TEAS twice and the hardest part was the Math section. Not because it was particularly advanced, but because of the limited time. You should know metric conversions, multiplication,...

  5. Am I kidding myself?

    NurseJeanB replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Katie, Definitely go for it. Every school is different and some schools offer accelerated programs for people who already have a degree. The two schools I applied to based entrance on GPA of prereqs...

    NurseJeanB replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. i need some advice

    NurseJeanB replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I agree with Catzy5, you may want to look at other schools or lower the number of courses you are taking so that you ensure you get high grades. You want to think about what study style would...

  9. Stethoscope?

    NurseJeanB replied to Coco06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Michelle, At our school you have to buy your own scrubs, and stethoscope. The school recommended the Littman Classice II SE, but I got a Cardiology III as a gift and I use it more than the Classic...

  10. Eww white uniforms??

    NurseJeanB replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    Yes, ours are white too. I mean no disrespect to people who have had to wear them before, but I echo your sentiments. Ewww. White is the one color (more like non color) that makes me look huge. I have...

  11. Know someone who did NOT pass the final?

    NurseJeanB replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I am so sad for your friend. I definitely would have been devastated. I understand that nurses have major responsibilities, but gosh we are also human, and humans make mistakes. We do our best to make...

  12. Personal Statement

    NurseJeanB replied to Kat24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. I have a Question...

    NurseJeanB replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello some schools offer book bundles which usually will include a CD Rom of the book (which really cuts the research time down). They also are generally cheaper then buying books individually. I...

  14. Pre-Nursing (Maybe???)

    NurseJeanB replied to Dreamer74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dreamer, you can do it. I am in nursing school and I just turned 40. Nursing school was something I always wanted to do, but was afraid of going back to school. I didn't know where to start and I was...

  15. Brand new pre-nursing student, have some Q's:

    NurseJeanB replied to grace8808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I am a nursing student at CSUEB and I am in a BSN program. In my area (Northern California), there are not a lot of options. The ADN programs in the community colleges are all impacted and...

  16. In a Panic

    NurseJeanB replied to Spartan05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your feelings are totally understandable. I started nursing school in September and had to quit a job that I had for 21 years. You are still young and that is a wonderful thing. I wish I had gone...

  17. Had orientation today...having second thoughts

    NurseJeanB replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. First semester BSN..is it normal not to do anything in CLINICAL?

    NurseJeanB replied to BrandiBooh's topic in General Students

    Hello, I am coming up on the end of the first quarter and we didn't have "clinicals" either. The way our school works is that you learn the basic skills such as vital signs, bedmaking, positioning,...

  19. Returning to Nursing school

    NurseJeanB replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Nursing

    I know in my area (North Ca) that people who have another degree can get into an advanced program to get their BSN. I wish I had a degree already and then I could possibly be a nurse sooner. I just...

  20. TEAS Preparation - has anyone taken this before?

    NurseJeanB replied to lexi917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very little A&P in fact I think there was one question about Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic. The science was strange because I think it was a lot of biology but not so much chemistry, physics...

  21. Age you will/were graduated?

  23. Feeling like a big fat failure

    NurseJeanB replied to Loomberk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give up. I went back to school to knock out prerequisites 4 years ago... I was 35 and now I am 39 in my first semester of nursing school. It was hard work but I kept at it and made sure I kept...

  24. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

    NurseJeanB replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pinky, Don't give up!! It is your first test and there will be more. You can discuss with the teacher what areas you need to focus on and maybe get a study group together. When I was in Physiology,...
