  1. Does Your School Give Priority Registration to Certain People?

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    As a quick response to HeartOpenWide playing devils advocate I'm not trying to argue that I should get priority over anyone. My whole point is that no one should get priority over anyone. In fact...

  2. Does Your School Give Priority Registration to Certain People?

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    I have no problem with people with special needs and disabilities registering before me. And as a reponse to SmilingBlu Eyes I really respect and appreciate everything that people in the military...

  3. For those of you who hold a hold a biology or science degree

    jpeters84 replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    On some levels I have to say there's a tiny bit of regret not going to medical school to be 100% honest. The fact that the nursing diagnosis doesn't directly address the medical problem was a hard...

  4. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

    jpeters84 replied to basid786's topic in General Students

    You screwed up a bit. Not hugely, definatley not worth getting kicked out, but it doesn't matter now. Let this unfortunate situation empower you forward. Zone all of your anger and angst against...

  5. For those of you who hold a hold a biology or science degree

    jpeters84 replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    I didn't think you were looking for an easy way out. Since you're getting a degree in science I hardly doubt you're into taking the easy way out. And trust me, nursing school, so not the easy way...

  6. For those of you who hold a hold a biology or science degree

    jpeters84 replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    Science courses such as organic chemistry and biochemistry are just completely different from nursing courses. The biology courses are easy to get burned out on because let's face it they can be very...

  7. Autism

    jpeters84 replied to Snickerdoodles's topic in General Students

    I would target activities that increase social interactions. Is there an adult autism group that the person can attend or a way as you the nurse could foster an environment where they could safely...

  8. no longer nursing student

    jpeters84 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    I really respect you for your decision. I'm sure this was not an easy decision to make but it sounds like it was the best decision for you and your family. Like your instructor said the school will...

  9. If I completed the prereq's with minimal effort...

    jpeters84 replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    Depends on the nursing school. I had a 4.0 in my nursing pre-req's and after my first semester I'm hoping for a 3.2. It's not that the material is complex, it's not like organic chemistry, it's that...

  10. my heart is breaking

    jpeters84 replied to raygun354's topic in General Students

    My understanding is that if your receiving financial aid deposits are waived. I know that I couldn't pay my deposit but since I had filled out the financial aid papers with my application they waived...

  11. Don't feel ready!

    jpeters84 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    I have to say that last week I felt the same exact way that you do now. Practicing skills for 10 minutes on a dummy did not instill a lot of confidence in my ability to perform them once we went to...

  12. I thought I was going to die.

    jpeters84 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    It sounds like this professor had something to do this weekend and just wanted the papers in. I'm sure she knew it was on the syllabus and was just being ****** because you were fighting her on it or...

  13. Who Loves Their Nursing School

    jpeters84 posted a topic in General Students

    Nursing school is challenging and we're all going to have our frustrations from time to time but sometimes I read responses from people who are loving nursing school and are happy with their program....

  14. Msn vs. Bsn

    jpeters84 replied to fortone's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've gotten all sorts of information on this one. I was in a similar situation. I have a degree in History and since I knew what I wanted to specialize in I wanted to go for my direct-entry master's...

  15. Please help ASAP!

    jpeters84 replied to charleston990's topic in General Students

    I'm always use to taking a lot of classes. Because clinical spots at my nursing school are given to people with the most credits, not the highest GPA, I was taking 7-8 pre-requisites at a time and it...

    jpeters84 posted a topic in General Students

    Like all of us on this post, it took me so long and so much hard work to get into nursing school. I have never wanted something more in my life. The time has finally come and I am half-way through...

  17. I Need Help

    jpeters84 replied to kiwi08's topic in General Students

    When in doubt google these things, but make sure they're from reliable sources. Here's some good resources that i found. Hope this helps. Here's a link to the "teachers domain" that I think explains...

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

  19. Poorly Written Exams-Is there any recourse?

    jpeters84 posted a topic in General Students

    I just took my first Nursing Fundamentals Exam, which also happens to be my first nursing school exam ever, and I did horribly. I am a second degree student who is use to studying extremely hard and...

  20. Poorly Written Exams-Is there any recourse?

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone for your advice. I do think the reason I did poorly was a combination of not being use to NCLEX style questioning and the poorly written, hard to understand test questions. I do...

  22. Hawaii Pacific University Nursing School

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Nursing

    Tom Cat, Can you tell me anything else about changing of the class and sticking to the syllabus. I haven't heard that before and that scares me. Do professors all of a sudden change the class and...

  23. Hawaii Pacific University Nursing School

    jpeters84 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Nursing

    Kelsie Bear, I got the finanacial aid thing worked out. Apparently they can deny you financial aid if you have too many credits but I thankfully had a connection at the school who was able to work...
