  1. How Is This Possible

    Hotflashn replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe she has just been accepted to the school in a prenursing capacity. She may have been accepted to the school but not the nursing program. Certainly, she shoud have this

  2. Microbiology or Chem 1 first?

    Hotflashn replied to STA29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Intermediate Chem was a prereq for my school for both Micro and Physio, so I had no choice. That said, I think it is a good idea to have that background. I would recommend chem

  3. Vent!!! English comp professor!!!

    Hotflashn replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It may not be salvageable at this point, but maybe you could copy and paste your papers into an email as an exception since the files wouldn't open. Or send as a text doc or rtf. Since this has been...

  4. Lost a friend in the process...

    Hotflashn replied to RNurseAng's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awww, I am sorry to hear that. Like others have said, try not to let it spoil your celebration, you deserve to be happy and excited. Hopefully, after your friend's hurt and disappointment passes some,...

  5. "My Mom Can't Sleep!"

    Hotflashn replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Devil's advocate: The family probably wanted mom to take a sleeping pill and be knocked out so they would be off the hook (having done their duty) and they could go on their way knowing she was KOed...

  6. PPD Tests

    Hotflashn replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great idea. My program needed 2 PPDs, appx a week apart. I was able to get one for free at my community college. I probably could have gotten the second one as well, except they went on break. I guess...

  7. Please Help, In tears! Chem

    Hotflashn replied to twinjeep97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hugs! I hear your pain and feel for you. I took a summer chem a few years back, after not having any kind of chem in 20+ years and not accustomed using dimensional analysis, and in the midst of all...

  8. Rejected? Then accepted...?!

    Hotflashn replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Julz!!!! I am so happy and excited for you. That is so great!

  9. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    Hotflashn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh well, I guess I still don't get it. Why would someone bother with a bachelors degree if they can do the same thing with an associates? IT IS TRUE for nursing. That is what those parents are...

  10. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    Hotflashn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What message? I don't understand what bad message a parent (or anyone else) sends to children or the nursing community as a whole by not obtaining a BSN. Could you explain? :stone As someone's child,...

  11. update

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

    I am glad you found a peaceful resolution. As a mother and a wife who has repeatedly put my own career, goals and desires on the back burner in an effort to be there for my family (extended and...

  12. I got in!!! OMG I am soooooo excited!!!

    Hotflashn replied to JettaDP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Definitely drink the

  13. Did you need Excel for Chem or Bio

    Hotflashn replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not for either

  14. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    Hotflashn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is so variable. It depends on the competition in your area, how impacted (or not) the programs are and what the individuals school are looking for. I think that some private schools may be more...

  15. Mnemonics

    Hotflashn replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uh, yes it is! Our anatomy teacher instead substituted "very good velvet, ah." Though I have heard/read/whatever that people remember the dirty ditties better than the clean

  16. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    Hotflashn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most BSN programs are merit based so you are either in or your aren't. Waitlists are usually for single entry periods, and are really more about being a "runner-up" and getting in if someone else...

  17. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    Hotflashn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Originally I only considered an ADN because of the cost, time, and age issue. I didn't think it made sense to do a BSN at this point in life with kids of my own in college and more kids still in grade...

  18. I failed my TEAS

    Hotflashn replied to hopingipass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How disappointing, I am sorry. Definitely do a search on all.nurses and type in TEAS. You will find tons of threads about the TEAS, read all the suggestions - the posts are very helpful. Now you have...

  19. Scrub dresses...what are they for?

    Hotflashn replied to Ehope's topic in General Students

    Or the little blue cape? Oh, between the little caps and capes and hose, I would just be fiddling with my clothes all shift! Seriously, tights on my belly drive me crazy. But maybe with white scrubs...

  20. How many nursing schools did you apply to?

    Hotflashn replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some are slightly different. I had to fulfill different requirements for different CA CCs depending on whether the program was a waitlist program (get a number and park) or a lottery school. Also,...

  21. Got to be kidding!

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got the results of my background check and drug screen I had to do for the nursing school - all of which I knew would be fine. And they were, except - the screening company put someone else's...

  22. When studying, when is enough, enough?

    Hotflashn replied to hopingipass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So much of the TEAS is just review. I kept doing math drills a couple times a day everyday until the test.The study part - where I was reviewing "long lost info" or totally new stuff, was stopped a...

  23. HELP! trying to find Fall '08 Science in No. CA

    Hotflashn replied to NewCaliGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that there is some school in Arizona (I think) that offers online A&P and Micro that is accepted by at least some of the school in No Ca. It was a nursing school seminar at Napa Valley...

  24. I need a hug...

    Hotflashn replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OH, you do need a hug! {{hug}} I am sorry it seems things are not going your way. Hang in there, if you keep looking for a way, it will happen for you. Maybe you can take it online or at a different...

  25. Chemistry

    Hotflashn replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on how competitive the programs you are looking into are. So much is purely numerical. If the rest of your grades are stellar, then the C is probably not a deal breaker. In any...
