  1. Is is worth applying for Fall 2013 now?

    Just A Wanderer posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I recently completed a 30-level course (my very last prerequisite) and am unsure if I should apply to Grant MacEwan for the Fall 2013 term. I could apply for January 2014 right now (since applications...

  2. Anatomy & Physiology Online or In-Class?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Anon101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I took Physio I in-class and then Physio II online, and didn't do so well in both of them. My problem was, I didn't know what to expect. I tried to study everything for the in-class course but the...

  3. Is is worth applying for Fall 2013 now?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Veganlover123, I'm not sure what your chances of getting in are because I'm guessing it depends where exactly you are on the waitlist. My situation is kind of different since there are more seats...

  4. Not having a car during nursing school.

    Just A Wanderer replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    Not having a vehicle throughout nursing school is doable but, tbh, is extremely challenging. I can get to and from school using public transportation but no matter the time of day, I will not make it...

  5. Do you cry a lot in nursing school?

    Just A Wanderer replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I cried the day before starting first semester of nursing school out of anxiety. Schedules, assignments, clinical, socializing... none of these things have brought me to tears...

  6. What books are really necessary for nursing school?

    Just A Wanderer replied to dee789's topic in General Students

    I know some people who are getting by with just their nursing fundamentals textbook. Everything else they borrow from the library. We've only completed our first year

  7. Specialty

    Just A Wanderer replied to julzgarcia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm thinking OR. I would love to get a placement in something like that during school. I'm also interested in

  8. Hemophilia- X-linked Recessive- Punnet square help!

    Just A Wanderer replied to Nursing2102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ^ I was thinking the same thing since men cannot be carriers, only affected by hemophilia. Although I read somewhere that females can still have hemophilia, albeit it's very

  9. Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    Just A Wanderer replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    I wish I got a tablet. I would still bring paper and pens though. I'm scared my laptop will get damaged somehow (not to mention it being too heavy... I bring a lot of other stuff to

  10. Grant Macewan JAN 2013

    Just A Wanderer replied to 7angeldust's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Waiting is the worst! I applied in February and didn't hear back until July so I was convinced my application was going into the reject

  11. Grant Macewan JAN 2013

    Just A Wanderer replied to 7angeldust's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I applied pretty "late" for the fall term last year and got accepted in early July, I think. There were two waitlisted students who got offered seats the second day of the

  12. 1st semester expectations

    Just A Wanderer replied to Val0512's topic in General Students

    Depends on what you would consider "hard." I found managing my study/assignment schedule and dealing with different personalities

  13. Bad grades in HS and beginning of college

    Just A Wanderer replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ I agree. I, too, would suggest taking anatomy and physiology by itself, with no other course because the content is HEAVY. I had to take both classes during first year of nursing school (along with...

  14. Research and new grad status?

    Just A Wanderer replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Research

    My class had a guest speaker who is a research nurse, her first job after graduating nursing school. So it's possible! I'm interested in research nursing too and I wish I had asked this guest speaker...

  15. CNA in 11th grade

    Just A Wanderer replied to Cal45's topic in General Students

    I got accepted into a CNA-type college program a few years ago (prior to nursing school). I didn't follow through with it and I regret my decision! You will gain a lot of useful skills and experience...

  16. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.78, I think (based on 24

  17. Top challenges of being a nursing student!

    Just A Wanderer replied to dotdotcurve33's topic in General Students

    ^ Time management for me, too. Also, working in groups, socializing with the other students (because of anxiety), and the competitive atmosphere. The latter is the

  18. Taking Pharm before Patho?

    Just A Wanderer replied to phiaflyy's topic in General Students

    I'm taking pharm and patho at the same time right now. I suggest taking patho before pharm because you get to learn about disease processes first, before learning the drugs that can treat them. Patho...

  19. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    Just A Wanderer replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only had high school prerequisites but I decided to take university-transferrable credits prior to applying to nursing, to have a better chance of getting accepted and to lighten up my course load...

  20. Pathophysiology

    Just A Wanderer replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in General Students

    I am taking patho right now and I think finishing up physiology first would be a good idea. I'd be so lost right now if I didn't take it

  21. Pharmacology

    Just A Wanderer replied to Graduation2016's topic in General Students

    What helped me study was rewriting the class notes including organizing everything so it made more sense (like combining notes on classes of drugs into one document so it's easier to compare them to...

  24. White Shoes for clinicals

    Just A Wanderer replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Skechers Active Memory Foam... the ones you can just slip on ('"bikers," I believe they're called). I was worried about getting a sore back and feet during clinicals (since I'm prone to such problems...

  25. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    A- B+ C+ First semester of nursing school didn't go as well as I hoped. Finals ended a week ago and I still haven't gotten my last grade
