    jelly221,RN replied to afuiyigtiwh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jelly221,RN replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

  8. WHY are LPN programs so expensive?

    jelly221,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    In my desperation to begin working in a hospital, I was looking at many differeny LVN/LPN programs in the LA area. They had one common denominator: EXPENSIVE! Why is that? I know most of them have...

  9. Expensive Books!!

    jelly221,RN replied to sue10's topic in General Students

    Use amazon or half.com!! I have gotten all of my nursing or science books there for WAYYY cheaper. Another trick I use is to get one edition back- I have never experienced any changes (except the...

    jelly221,RN replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in Nursing Career

    jelly221,RN replied to rnhopefully09's topic in Nursing Career

    Take Bio!! There's so much info to cover in it, and even if you took it in HS it's good to review. Also, if you can take Chem (but prob. not at the same time). I agree that you should get your feet...

  14. Quit job or go to school at night?

    jelly221,RN replied to mya1234's topic in Nursing Career

  21. How long were you on a waitlist?

    jelly221,RN replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't agree more that GPA and success as a nurse aren't necessarily related. However, for a program that is as academically challenging as most are, success in previous classes is the best/only...

    jelly221,RN replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
