  1. Statistics prerequisite

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

    You can totally do it! I am a complete mathphobe, and I hate it to boot, hadn't taken math in years and I did it. If I can do it and get an A, anyone can, believe me! A couple of suggestions: Learn to...

  2. Another discouraged, unhappy camper here

    Hotflashn replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so, so sorry. How disappointing. What is their entry criteria? I don't see what more you could have done. Did they want you to have more units completed, or what? Is there anywhere else you can...

  3. PSYCHOLOGY and SOCIOLOGY

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

    You should be fine. I took both as intersession classes - I think it was about 2 1/2 weeks. So 6 or 8 weeks during summer should be a peice of

  4. I got In!

    Hotflashn replied to Nurse Allison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yippee for you! Very cool.

  5. Of all the pre-req's you've taken which was hardest

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

    Chem and Organic Chem/Bio Chem are in battle for worst place. I am not yet sure which because I haven't finished the o chem. Chem was terrible because I hadn't had a chem class in 20+ years and I...

  6. Previous health care experience

    Hotflashn replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program you are applying. Some schools give (usually minimal) bonus points for previous employment or volunteer experience in health care. Other programs could care less, and...

  7. Very Discourgaged

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

    It is interesting to me that a lot of us mathphobe are a bit older than traditional students - mid/late 30s and 40s. It got me thinking about my early schooling and the how math was addressed as a...

  8. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    Hotflashn replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cheaters do annoy me, since I work hard for my grades. In my anatomy class a couple years ago a student brought in a cheat sheet and tried to cheat during a lab practical. She was busted in front of...

  9. Very Discourgaged

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

    I don't know all the ends and outs of the program you are applying, but there are a few other options that may work. Though, they will take discipline, self-teaching effort and in the end might bite...

  10. Frequency of communication from college

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For those of you who have gotten in or who are waiting for "the letter" is it common to constantly get something from the school? I have applied to several CCs and don't get much from them except the...

  11. Frequency of communication from college

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

    I would love to know the point breakdown. Sandra has been very, very sweet and helpful when I have talked to her. She has been most encouraging, which is almost a burden in some ways. It is her...

  12. Frequency of communication from college

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

    Thanks Coolpeach, I remember my daughter getting stuff all the time, too. Like the SAT folks sold her name or something. I am only getting stuff from one college in particular. Today was a...

  13. My nursing entrance exam says...

    Hotflashn replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry about your results. I have never heard about that particular test. Have you taken any other reading placement test that differs greatly? If the results vary tremendously from your expected...

  14. Finished with Algebra requirements!

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

    Good for you, Memories. It is great to face your challenges and come out the other side. If you can deal with your own "Achille's Heel" and walk away it is a great accomplishment - whatever it is. We...

  15. Anatomy & Physiology

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

    My school offered Anatomy and Physiology, separately, as a 5 unit classes with labs, as well. I probably would have taken them the same semester if scheduling allowed, but the classes were so impacted...

  16. Frequency of communication from college

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

    Thanks, Jean. I talked to another CSUEB applicant and she said she is getting tons of mail from them, as well. It must be how they are spending all those app fees! How close was the timing of your...

    Hotflashn replied to babygirl1115's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, yeah for you, Ambergerz for getting in! Congrats. I think it is the similar around here, too ... best to just apply to as many schools as possible and see which offers a slot first. Though the...

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

    With a 4.0 and a good TEASs I bet your odds are much better than 50-50! It sounds like you are in a good position. Fingers crossed. I am amazed at the programs that have 100 apps for 50 slots or so,...

  19. Organic chemistry help

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

    Sapana, O chem IS hard! My prof assures me that lots of people struggle and that is it difficult for most students. It requires a good deal of study and practice that is well beyond what is typically...

  20. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

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

    I took physio (our A&P are individual classes) and micro at the same time, but during a full semester, only working 1/4 time, but with kids and serious health concerns/crises with my folks. I made...

  21. Retake TEAS results, thoughts & worries

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

    WishNHopeN DreamN, an 87 on your TEAS and a 4.0 in your prereqs is excellent! Everything just depends on what your particular school looks for and how stiff the competition is, you are probably right...

  22. Re-took my TEAS...applications are in

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

  24. What do you wish you had a better foundation of in prep for Nursing School?

    Hotflashn replied to ok2bme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
