    maj0079 replied to ihurdle1920's topic in General Students

    So, I commute to school. I live in rural MN and drive to South Dakota. Yeah we have a thing called winter here and I just adjusted my driving time to accommodate that. So, yes that meant getting up at...

  2. Seeking Youtube videos and other helpful info for Pathophysiology

    maj0079 replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Our pathophys prof used Kahn's Academy for a few things on the different body systems and how they work. I found it very useful for the cardiac and the endocrine

  3. financial aid and course load

    maj0079 replied to Alexandra19's topic in General Students

    The other thing to consider to is that if you plan to further your education, you will need more classes to transfer for a BS/BA degree. Generals are usually pretty easy classes, like psych 101 and...

  5. Is it normal to not know your clinical location until the first day of class..

    maj0079 replied to Kandake's topic in General Students

    Here the hospitals have so many nursing schools to deal with, we usually do not know until a week before or so what our schedules will be like. Not only that, but they have to work around our other...

  6. The real reason your failing in school

    maj0079 replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    So, I actually have to "partially" agree with the original post. The city I go to school in has a plethora of RN programs. Seriously, they are inundated with new grads twice a year! Therefore, they...

    maj0079 replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

  8. Does your school discourage working?

    maj0079 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    Our school does the same. I am in an accelerated program and we had 26 credits our first semester. I didn't work. I moved home and lived off of financial aid and tax refund. Ha it was hard, but...

  9. Adult Health a predictor of how you will do on the NCLEX

    maj0079 posted a topic in General Students

    As anyone heard of this? One of our lab instructors is currently doing a research paper on it and I was wondering if anyone else had heard of this? It stresses me out a little more thinking that this...

  10. Too much? 16.5 credits

    maj0079 replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    All I do is read and study. I take breaks (like now), but it is tough. After this we go to 12-15 credits/semester. They also divided this semester into three small ones, so currently our classes will...

  12. Need RN credits transfer help so badly to a college that will accept them.

    maj0079 replied to tupamoto's topic in General Students

    They will most definitely transfer credits (at least non-nursing classes) even if you isn't graduate. The question would be the nursing classes, that is only something the college can answer. As...

  13. Where do you all get textbooks from

    maj0079 posted a topic in General Students

    and do you rent? What is your preferred "retailer" for books and rentals and such? Any reason to really keep the textbooks? I didn't keep any of my books for my bio degree and never saw a need for...

    maj0079 replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

  15. Good Podcasts?

    maj0079 posted a topic in General Students

    Will be having an hour commute one way to school, most likely more with clinicals and was looking at podcasts. Anyone know if the NCLEX podcasts are any good? Any other podcasts you recommend? I...

  16. Good Podcasts?

    maj0079 replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    Thank you, but my lectures are 2-4 hours long. That is why I am looking for podcasts.

  17. Need RN credits transfer help so badly to a college that will accept them.

    maj0079 replied to tupamoto's topic in General Students

    It is easier to transfer to a 4 yr college with community college credits! Also, look into other community colleges in the area. If you are in the Twin Cities area I know there are many programs you...

  18. Less than favorable nursing school applicant requesting assistance

    maj0079 replied to rileym14's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to put my 2 cents in here. I was/am a less than favorable student myself. I have a BS in Biology and did not take school serious the first time. I worked in group homes for some time...

  19. Accelerated BSN loan info. HELP!

    maj0079 replied to JohnsonZ's topic in General Students

    I am in a similar situation. FYI federal student loans will NOT give you much over tuition costs, books and fees. Contact your Financial aid office to see what private loans they recommend. Private...

  20. Is nursing school still a possibility for me? What should I do?

    maj0079 replied to shilpas's topic in School, College Programs

    I always say where there is a will there is a way. I totally bombed my first year in college. Like BOMBED. I just didn't take it seriously. When I did go back 6 yrs later I still didn't do great...

    maj0079 posted a topic in General Students

  23. Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    maj0079 replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Students

    Sorry I guess I didn't make that clear. I did get loans for my 2nd BS, but my first semester is expensive, so I had to take out the Sallie Mae loan to supplement the cost. Where did you find that....

    maj0079 replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Students
