  1. Master's Entry - Chances of Acceptance - Honest Opinion Wanted

    Bree124 replied to natsumi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have found that about half of the people in my DE program are not from science backgrounds. We have backgrounds ranging from art, history, communication, and psychology to biomedical engineering,...

  2. "weed-out" classes

    Bree124 replied to PMHNP10's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm a little bit confused... Are you asking about the graduate portion, or undergrad stuff? I'm assuming you're speaking graduate level, since this is a grad student forum. From my experience,...

  3. Age you will/were graduated?

    Bree124 replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    Age 26 for RN, 28 for

  4. One of you will be writing about me tomorrow

    Bree124 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Emergency

    I had an abscessed tooth once, it was HORRENDOUS pain!! I hope you went in. Whether or not they have a dentist isn't even the main issue, abscessed teeth can cause systemic infections. You...

  5. Am I crazy? -- ADN over Master's Entry program?

    Bree124 replied to RNn2010's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, I don't think you are crazy at all. It's pretty well-known that the RN portion of a Master's entry program is very expensive. If you can get that part done with no debt, that is a huge plus. If...

  6. Some mean Nurses.......

    Bree124 replied to Billsgirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Please keep in mind that nursing is NOT the only field where people have difficulty taking breaks. I previously worked a job that was extremely active (huge turnover rate, due to people having no...

  7. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    Bree124 replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes and no. Someone who is going to school to be an Adult Nurse Practitioner - Older Adults (a specialty that my school offers) really doesn't need to learn the nitty gritty details of embryology....

  8. Milw area nursing programs any recomendations?

    Bree124 replied to dawgmama's topic in General Nursing

    I actually don't know much about any of those three programs, but I looked into Waukesha County Tech, and they appear to have a really solid program. They have an excellent pass rate for NCLEX (best...

  9. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

    Bree124 replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took my final and lab final yesterday!! It is GREAT to be done with

  10. TEAS test question

    Bree124 replied to icechick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take it as part of the application process for one of the schools I applied to. Once I had my high school and college transcripts in the application file, they scheduled me to take the TEAS...

  11. Statistics course advice

    Bree124 replied to nursingmommyto3's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This doesn't really apply to your original post, but I just wanted to echo what santhony44 said - don't get too worked up about the difficulty of the class. I've always hated math, and I aced my...

  12. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    Bree124 replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes,

  13. NP science preparation vs. MD science preparation

    Bree124 replied to amzyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think that requiring more fundamental science courses for the NP role will increase the level of respect that the position garners (although I still don't think it's a bad idea in general). My...

  14. Interview help!!

    Bree124 replied to itsinthegenes's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't have to interview for my MSN program, so no advice, just wanted to wish you luck! I have been a SAHM for the last couple of years, and was concerned about how that looks on paper, but it...

  15. Marquette University DE MSN program?

    Bree124 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Anyone else here planning to attend? I would love to meet others who are in the May 2008 cohort, or get some tips and advice from others who are already in the

  16. Marquette University DE MSN program?

    Bree124 replied to Bree124's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To be honest, they say they won't consider a GPA under 3.0. However, since your GRE score is so high, I don't know if you really lose anything (other than $40) by applying. You have good work...

  17. Marquette University DE MSN program?

    Bree124 replied to Bree124's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I don't really have any suggestions about getting in, as I don't know a ton about how they determine admission, other than GPA. According to the program coordinator, last year's average GPA was...

  18. I want to become a nurse midwife

    Bree124 replied to Like2bFrisky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am starting Marquette's direct entry MSN program in May, and plan to apply to the midwifery program in the spring, which would start me in the fall of 2009. It is a great program! Marquette is in...

  19. CAn anyone tell me about the TEAS test????

    Bree124 replied to veronica77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, definitely check with your local library or see if you can get a study guide on interlibrary loan. The test is is very basic, I believe it tests at an 11th grade level. Of course, for many of...

  20. PSYCHOLOGY and SOCIOLOGY

    Bree124 replied to baxter80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I don't think that would be too much at all. I have a minor in Psych, and I took lots of psych/soc classes at the same time with no difficulty at all. Do you need both though? Many nursing...

  21. help!!!!

    Bree124 replied to Lost23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think probably the best idea would be to find a couple of schools that you are interested in, and then speak directly with their admissions staff to see where you stand. All of the nursing schools...

  22. Anyone ever taken a Science class online

    Bree124 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking A&P II online right now. I really don't like it at all. I think the difficulty level is about the same as an in-class format, but there is no way to ask for clarification if...

  23. I got in!

    Bree124 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi... I don't really post on here a whole lot, but I just have to post this. I found out today that I got accepted to nursing school!! I am very excited, and it seems like a lot of people I know in...

  24. What do you think of this?

    Bree124 replied to KJDpreggo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No advice, but I really don't think that your OB practice can drop you so late in the pregnancy, especially if there are no other reasonably close options for care. As for the necessity of the tests,...

  25. Bad GPA - history of F's and retaking classes

    Bree124 replied to NICU RN wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is really something you need to speak with an academic advisor about. There are too many variances between schools for us to shed light on how this will all affect your GPA, transcripts, etc....
