  1. Taking three sciences over the summer!!!

    Salamanda NP replied to missfuturenurse's topic in General Students

    A year ago I took A&P 2, Microbiology and Pathophysiology during the same semester. It was absolutely horrible, and I was a complete wreck the whole time. I managed to do it, and did okay - but...

  2. Help!!!!!

    Salamanda NP replied to nursingquestions's topic in General Students

    Hi. I'm a student nurse in Massachusetts. Most of the programs that I know of that are designed for people working full-time are night/weekend community college programs. I doubt that the college...

  3. Hardest class so far...

    Salamanda NP replied to ColtsMom's topic in General Students

    Advanced Med Surg! It's awful and we also have an impossibly difficult professor teaching it (who happens to be my clinical instructor, too!). Only 5 1/2 weeks to go this semester.....thank

  4. SIM lab - Do you like it?

    Salamanda NP replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I like our SIM lab. I think it's a great resource, and I was relieved to have Ms. Sim (what we call her) to practice everything on. We are able to use the lab ourselves anytime during the week, and it...

  5. What To Wear To Interview/orientation

    Salamanda NP replied to tullosrn2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I interviewed for my program I wore a black business suit with a blue shirt. It's my interview suit I always wore to job interviews, and it's kind of my default when I'm unsure how to dress. I...

  6. Commute to school?

    Salamanda NP replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is about 25 miles from home, and the commute takes between 45 minutes to an hour + depending on traffic. I have had work commutes longer than that and commuted over an hour for two years of...

  7. How many students did your nursing program accept for your class?

    Salamanda NP replied to anna19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    24 students a year for a direct entry MSN. I seriously still can't believe I'm one of the 24 lucky

  8. For Everyone Starting Nursing School in May of '08!

    Salamanda NP replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone! My final pre-req final is on May 7th and I start nursing school on May 19th at Salem State College. It is a direct entry MSN program, and I am so excited! Of course I need to get through...

  9. students who have applied numerous times

    Salamanda NP replied to wish4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was lucky enough to be accepted my first time applying to nursing school. (Starting in mid-May.) But, I was talking to the director of our program and she told me that our school and all of the...

  10. And now it's decision time...

    Salamanda NP replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to decide between an entry-level MSN program (does not award an NP) at a state college, and an accelerated BSN at a private school. I ultimately chose the less expensive and faster route - the...

  11. officially accepted!

    Salamanda NP replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :ancong!:

  12. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    Salamanda NP replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everybody here has great points. Part of what has been making it difficult for me to take both right now is also being enrolled in pathophysiology (which is also intensive). I also have an awful A...

  13. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    Salamanda NP replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently taking Microbiology and A & P II (along with Pathophysiology). I highly recommend NOT taking those classes together unless absolutely necessary, and as you said you are not even...

  14. PSYCHOLOGY and SOCIOLOGY

    Salamanda NP replied to baxter80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BS in sociology and was just a class shy of a psych minor, I think. Trust me, as long as you can handle a fair amount of reading and write a few papers you will be fine. Neither should demand...

  15. When taking AP I did it help to have Chem first

    Salamanda NP replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not take Chem, and I have had no trouble in A&P I or II. So, no I don't think it's necessary. Plus I really hat chem, so there's no way I'd take it if it wasn't required!

  16. Are you almost there? Number of classes left?

    Salamanda NP replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I am taking my last prerequisites now: Pathophysiology, Microbiology and A & P II. I was excepted into a DEP that starts in May conditional on me finishing these prerequisites successfully....

  17. I got In!

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

    CONGRATS!!!

  18. Taking A & P II and Pharmacology at the same time?

    Salamanda NP replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much for the website! Every additional resource helps! Good luck with your decision about your

  19. Taking A & P II and Pharmacology at the same time?

    Salamanda NP replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I guess it depends on what else you have going on in your life right now and how difficult your professors are. I am currently enrolled in A&P II, Microbiology and Pathophysiology and feel...

  20. Is hospital work mandatory?

    Salamanda NP replied to nurturer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I am new here but wanted to chime in. I worked in the human resources department of a Visiting Nurse Association before leaving to go back to school for nursing. I know that we had a requirement...
