  1. RN Program Competition

    SingDanceRunLife replied to hkandpi's topic in General Students

    I'm talking about programs where you start in the BSN program right away -- not where you transfer in. Here are some examples of the curriculum: http://www.dyc.edu/academics/nursing/docs/nursing.pdf...

  2. RN Program Competition

    SingDanceRunLife replied to hkandpi's topic in General Students

    I applied to 11. I was rejected by 2 and waitlisted at 1 but accepted to the rest. Since you have a 3.1, I would imagine that you would be able to get into some programs. As I said, my GPA was sub 3.0...

  3. RN Program Competition

    SingDanceRunLife replied to hkandpi's topic in General Students

    You're from Seattle? Can you leave for college? I'm at a school that's about an hour and a half from where I live, and I applied to schools ranging from 30 minutes to 9 hours away from where I live....

  4. RN Program Competition

    SingDanceRunLife replied to hkandpi's topic in General Students

    If you are a high school junior, then my biggest suggestion is to apply to direct entry BSN programs over ASN programs at community colleges. You'll have a better chance of getting in, along with the...

  5. How far do you drive to nursing school?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to WSnurse2b's topic in General Students

    Wow! My college (where I live on campus) and my college of nursing (where I have my nursing classes and clinicals) are only about 4 miles apart, so the drive is about 10

  6. Summer 2010 Schedule?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Tara:)'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just taking A&P II online...so my schedule will revolve around when I work (provided that I find a

  7. Are you a "test-taker" or "paper-writer"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Phlavyah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to a liberal arts school, so writing is most of what I do...in fact, between the 9th of this month and the 5th of next month, I will have written 5 papers (two 8-10 pages, two 3 pages and one 5-6...

  8. Good Laptop for Nursing school

    SingDanceRunLife replied to usernammy's topic in General Students

    I would not, under any circumstances recommend an Acer, and would try to avoid HP as well. Look into a Toshiba or an Asus if you don't want to spend loads of

  9. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    SingDanceRunLife replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    Yes. Lucky you for not having a heavy flow. I'm 19 and I've had a heavy period since I started at 11. I've had no experience with scrubs...but at my old job, I had to wear tan pants. Definitely wear a...

  10. Are you a "test-taker" or "paper-writer"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Phlavyah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Paper writer for sure. I hate studying, and I always have. Writing on the other hand comes easily to me. For a regular liberal arts class, I can write a 3 page paper in about an hour minutes and get...

  11. A & P 1 -- Fall 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! I am done with A&P I on the 5th of May...and I start A&P II in July. If that goes well (and it should), I start my nursing classes in the

  12. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh...I cannot wait until my class is over. We only have 4 more

  13. A&P I Jump start

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bones are way easier than muscles! Get a jump start on those for sure! And get a jump start on the location of muscles, but wait for the actions origins and insertions because many professors will...

  14. Starting pre-req this summer

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Sudiswa07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II online this summer and starting nursing classes and clinicals in the fall. In my program, the prereqs are: A&P I and II Sociology 101 Psychology 101 For me, the only even...

  15. Central/Upstate NY CNA Training

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not interested unless it's free training because I'll be starting my nursing classes and clinicals in the fall and once I complete the first semester I can be hired as a nursing assistant even...

  16. Central/Upstate NY CNA Training

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in the Fingerlakes region, but it doesn't matter much where. That's why I said

  17. Curious about nursing school

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Dream_Chaser14's topic in General Nursing

    The best thing for someone in high school to do is to apply to direct entry nursing programs. Generally they are found at 4 year colleges, and they do not require an extra application for nursing. If...

  18. Black Hairstyles

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it out of your face and not too big! I too am a black girl with natural hair. I did a light perm once, in middle school after constantly being made fun of by all the other black girls in my...

  19. Freaking out over FULL summer classes

    SingDanceRunLife replied to letsseehere's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was closed out of the A&P II class at my local CC and was freaking out because I need to take it this summer or else wait an entire year to begin my nursing classes due to the way my program is...

  20. what is a typical nursing school schedule like?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to mishy0208's topic in General Students

  21. Central/Upstate NY CNA Training

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Anyone have any info? I'll be home from school in 3 1/2 weeks, and I still have no idea what I'm doing this summer in terms of work or volunteering or

  22. LPN vs. Massage Therapy school?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to curiousGina's topic in General Students

    For my A&P class, we have to know the actions, origins and insertions of muscles...and this is for an RN program. I'm sure we don't need to know as many as you do for MT, but it's still a lot. We...

  23. High School Student who needs advice :)

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see that those programs are not direct entry (you have to take the 2 years of prereqs and gened first)...so my biggest suggestion is to look into other schools that are direct entry (if you apply...

  24. Average Salary for ADN vs BSN

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ltf500's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What I've been hearing from my friends who are seniors is that experience matters much more than your degree right now in terms of getting hired. This tells me that I better work as a student nurse...

  25. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class has our test on muscles and the nervous system on Monday...it got moved from Friday. Sweet deal. We have 1 lecture test left after that which will cover the least amount of material. We also...
