  1. 35/f Married w/3 kids I am too old ?

    JettaDP replied to Kolacz35's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should go for it! Don't let age hold you back. 35 is not even close to being considered "old". There are many people on this site that are a little older with kids so you will find tons of...

  2. I need stethoscope suggestions

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks everybody! Littman seems to be the brand everyone is suggesting so I will definitely look in it. I like the idea of having a light weight. I wouldn't mind have a real fancy one but I can't...

  3. I got in!!! OMG I am soooooo excited!!!

    JettaDP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into my schools nursing program on my first try! I am so excited! And I am so relieved! There are so many different emotions I am feeling right now. When I opened my letter I cried! I am so...

  4. A&P Books SOOOOOOOEXPENSIVE!!!

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

    Hopefully you'll be able to return them at the end of the year. My A&P book cost $180 and I ended up getting $130 back for it. Normally I would've kept the book for reference but I found some...

  5. Am I nuts? :P

    JettaDP replied to ciounoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that would be a bad idea. If you have an 8-credit nursing course you'll have to take another class to be a full-time student anyhow. It will definitely be very challenging but I don't...

  6. Is this LEGAL?

    JettaDP replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should've politely declined the book she was trying to give you. And then brought it up to the appropriate people at your school. Suing would be a waste of time and valuable money. And even if...

  7. Fabulous GPA, horrid NET score!!!!

    JettaDP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so stressed about getting accepted into nursing school. My cumulative GPA is a 3.86 and my pre-req GPA is a 4.0 but I only scored a composite score of 64 on the NET test!!! I was so flustered...

  8. Worried about my two C'c... HELP

    JettaDP replied to ilstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Your C's aren't in science classes and I think that is most important. At my school they put a major emphasis on not screwing up any science classes. Science =...

  9. Got to be kidding!

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

    Raise H-E-double hockey sticks! Call the company as many times as you have to do get the problem rectified. And call your school to make sure they know that they have the wrong results. They will...

  10. Fabulous GPA, horrid NET score!!!!

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

    That's a great idea. I think I will try it. Especially if it is timed. That will help me a lot!

  11. Fabulous GPA, horrid NET score!!!!

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

    I read your sticky post. Next time I will definitely skip over the math questions that are more difficult for me so I will have more time for them at the end. My biggest problem was that I was...

  12. What will you do if you don't get in?

    JettaDP replied to joymama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I don't get in I am going to finish taking social work courses. I started taking them so I would have a back-up plan if I get rejected. But I will apply again next year. I will also be applying...

  13. Fabulous GPA, horrid NET score!!!!

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

    An 88% is great considering. Most people from my school had their score in the 70's. I agree that the test doesn't represent our actual potential. I think my grades thus far are proof of that. It...

  14. Fabulous GPA, horrid NET score!!!!

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

    Nurse Entrance Test. It is just a test to show your basic competancy in areas such as math and reading. At my school, you have to score in the 50th percentile to be considered for

  15. How many nursing schools did you apply to?

    JettaDP replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For one, many schools require the same basic pre-req's such as A&P, nutrition, and so on. So you may not actually have a whole lot more classes to do for different schools. If I don't get in...

  16. Denial!!!

    JettaDP replied to wbgirl3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Denver School of Nursing. I know this school is in Colorado but if you are willing to relocate it may be an option for you. Their tuition is like 37k for 2 years. But they have like 10 start dates...

  17. How many nursing schools did you apply to?

    JettaDP replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied at 1 school this year. But if I don't get in this year I am going to apply for 8 in-state, and at least 12

  18. Is this a good start to pre-reqs?

    JettaDP replied to msdizzydolores's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best advice I can give you is to NOT take chemistry in the summer. It is a difficult class especially if you've never taken it before. Taking it condensed is going to make it even harder. If...

  19. Financial Aid for Nursing School?

    JettaDP replied to tlofflan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a 26 year old single parent. My solution was to admit defeat and realize I can't be successful if I am being a parent full-time as well as working full-time. So I quit my job and applied for...

  20. When do you expect to receive your "letter"..?

    JettaDP replied to Dream2BANurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the feeling. I won't receive my letter until mid-June. The wait is horrible! It's impossible not to think about it every

  21. Trouble getting Financial Aid for Pre-reqs

    JettaDP replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going through a similar situation. I have too many credits to continue getting financial aid. For two years I have been taking nursing pre-req's as well as social work classes. I applied for...

  22. How to get good grades in nursing school?

    JettaDP replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know my situation will not work for everyone. I was just making a suggestion. I guess my point was that there are resources out there that can help people. Like child care help, food assistance...

  23. is biology really necessary???

    JettaDP replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school Biology is a pre-req for A&P so I ahd no choice but to take it. But I definitely don't think it would have been necessary. We didn't revisit much of it in A&P. You learn about...

  24. No summer classes- Bored!

    JettaDP replied to almostfearless's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking the summer off as well. Just go to the book store and buy some books on nursing. Or spend your summer memorizing drugs. That's what I'm doing. I bought a pharmacology book and I am...

  25. Need some opinions on a problem

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

    I agree with the majority. As selfish as it sounds, you need to worry about you. Not them. I agree that the way he grades is completely unfair. There is no way that he can tell who actually...
