Hi all. I will be taking this in November prior to submitting my application for the class starting in Fall of 2009. I am wondering what to expect from the test. Is there math on it? At what level? Is...
Close to quitting...need advice!

Nurse SMS replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Students

HELP!! need to get into nursing school

Nurse SMS replied to N_school's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Note though that pretty much all nursing schools are competitive to get into. Your science GPA is good and you should be able to find a school that will take you. However the less expensive schools...

I Never Thought They'd HATE Me...

Nurse SMS replied to c3p0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Uhhh, as the mother of a child who died from AML, all I can say is that it does take a special person to be a ped. onc. nurse, and it is far from making you a sick person. It sounds like you have some...
TCC Nursing Program and Working...??

Nurse SMS replied to ERNurseToBe's topic in General Nursing

As far as I know, most all nursing programs are full time day programs with a hearty recommendation to work as little as possible through the program due to how rigorous and demanding it is. I am not...
4th year and I have a 2.8-2.9

Nurse SMS replied to hisgu74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

My advice would be to retake all those C grades and pull them up. And to not tell yourself your future looks dim. That's a lot of pressure, which in turn makes you desperate, which in turn hampers...

Should I just give up on nursing?

Nurse SMS replied to ernurse2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Are you historically a bad test taker? Three times to do that poorly is indicative of a problem somewhere, whether it is a lack of knowledge, an inability to control nerves or what have you. I would...

Professors who grade based on 'looks'

How hard is it to get in nursing school to become a RN?

Nurse SMS replied to hcer4507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I am confused. Is this a general honest question, a rant or spam? Yes, it is hard to get into nursing school. It is competitive and you have to do well in your classes. It is that way for lots of well...

Collin College

Nurse SMS replied to ser2011's topic in Texas Nursing

I have applied. They told me that 16s make it, most 15s make it, very few 14s make it and pretty much once in a blue moon a 13 will make it (almost never). Anything below that, not a chance. Most 14s...
