  8. Confused about how to proceed

    With second bach BSN programs, it will almost always take you longer than 2 years. The two years usually does not include prerequisites such as the Anatomy, Physio, Chems, Psychs, etc etc.... Try...

  11. I Got Accepted!!

    CONGRATS!! I know where you're coming from. When I got my acceptance, my family was happy but I could tell they didn't understand the extent of what it all really
  12. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    I didn't. But I got a B+ by doing lots of repetition on the cat. Visual stuff works best for me. For lecture, I would rewrite notes 3 times before the exam, and supplement with flashcards for terms I...
  13. I have bad credit but need loan for school

    With a 565 CS you may be in trouble. Your best bet would be to try a local credit union. I don't know all the details because I have a good score, but I have a friend with poor credit who received a...
  14. nursing school options

    I'm going to give you my honest opinion. A premed major (usually Bio/Chem focused) would make for excellent preparation for med school. While nursing majors do take several sciences, they are not as...
  15. Need advices before changing career to nurse

    I'm also married to an engineer. He makes an excellent salary and has a fairly low stress job. I'm not sure why you want to make this switch....I saw how difficult it was for him to obtain an...
  16. Question about nursing school

    It's more common to work on a cat. In my physiology class, we used frogs most of the time. I have not heard of many nursing students learning by use of a cadaver, but I'm sure certain schools do...
  17. Full-time student. Is there time for a part-time job?

    It depends on many things. I'm doing a BSN program as well, and I personally can't handle the stress of having a job and focusing on studies. However, there are many people who can juggle both and...
  18. RIC students!

    Hey guys- Kindof a silly question but I can't help but wonder: .....How many students applied for the fall semester and how many were accepted? I know it doesn't matter because I made it in, but....I...

    oh my goodness tessa, you lucky
  20. Graduating Nurses..Looking back.....

    I would just like to add that nursing school is not just about cramming all the info into your head for an exam then dumping it. We really have to learn this stuff! I always regret skimping over...
  21. RIC students!

    As ready as I can be!! I'm leaving for Jamaica on Friday so it will be my last relaxing break before the madness of nursing school starts! It's funny, a few weeks ago I couldn't wait for school to...
  22. RIC students!

    Oops, and I forgot to add: Any class that is listed as a prerequisite for RIC (Human Development, Anatomy, and Chem 106) should be taken at RIC to improve your chances of being admitted. It also helps...
  23. RIC students!

    Erica- RIC is pretty stringent about "taking care of their own"....if you know what I mean.....I would suggest getting in there soon (if that's your plan) and start building up RIC credits if you want...
  24. My school did not require it, and I did fine in Stats. Good
  25. Is this really doable?

    If you have a good support system at home, I would say go for it. It will be tough but I think we've all made sacrifices for this little thing called nursing school Good
