  1. Spring '08 Grades!!!! Be Proud!!

    js408 replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check your professor on some site like ratemyprofessor.com or ask other students who've already taken the class (if possible) who is the best instructor. Use the first week or two of class to evaluate...

  2. Spring '08 Grades!!!! Be Proud!!

    js408 replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I spend the first two weeks of class sizing up the professor. If I feel for any reason that my best-A work will be sabotaged by a bad professor, I will drop the course and take it again next semester...

  4. Nursing school and working full time

    js408 replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one said anything about anyone's intelligence. My goal is to become a nurse practitioner, this requires a BSN and then an MSN. Getting an ADN would require the same sacrifice of time but would only...

  5. how important is chemistry ?

    js408 replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about the school you want to get into, but mine makes their acceptance decision based on the TEAC score and the GPA of the most recent 30 credits taken. So it would be a very bad thing to...

  6. Nursing school and working full time

    js408 replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No I don't have a degree. I have been doing pre-reqs for one year and it will take me until 2012 before I'm ready to enter the nursing

  7. Nursing school and working full time

    js408 replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes $2,000 for an apartment is excessive and unfair, but the cost of living here is extremely high. Gas is $4.20 something a gallon. In other parts of California, I could rent an entire house with...

  8. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    js408 replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to become a nurse practitioner and I believe I need to have a MSN to get there. Getting an ADN first would not help me, might even slow me

  9. Nursing school and working full time

    js408 replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Silicon Valley CA. Rent is $2,000 a month for a small apartment, not including any other bills or expenses. My wife just got her degree last year and is only just getting started with her...

  10. Nursing school and working full time

    js408 replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I talked to someone today at the school of nursing, not an advisor though. I'm not really sure who I talked to. She was very rude and dismissive, "if you're working you can't go to nursing school."...

  11. English prof + course issues....

    js408 replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it very hard to believe that someone who doesn't have basic spelling and grammar ability can turn out college-level English

  12. English prof + course issues....

    js408 replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I still don't know what you're complaining about. You got a C in an English class when you clearly don't have even a basic handle on the English language. In the class I just completed, four basic...

  13. How to get good grades in nursing school?

    js408 replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    1) My rent costs $2,000 a month. That includes no other bills or expenses, just rent. Does not include food, utilities, car payment, insurance, etc. 2) If I don't pay my expenses, no one will pay it...

  14. Job offer-why are they so cheap?

    js408 replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That doesn't make sense. A nursing shortage means nurses get paid more, not less. A nursing surplus would be cause for a pay cut. Supply and

  15. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    js408 replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I hear that! I recently started going to college again after a 10 year vacation. It's a lot harder the second time

  16. Not in school, what should I study while waiting?

    js408 replied to springing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yah why not

  17. English prof + course issues....

    js408 replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. In both of the English classes that I just completed, missing any single exam was an automatic F for the course, regardless of overall

  19. Chemistry

    js408 replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Impossible to know what your school will do. If you're worried then you should talk to someone in counseling/advising and ask if you need to retake the class. In my school the minimum requirement is...

  20. Anyone working full-time and going to school?

    js408 replied to kiss04bam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full time and take 2 classes per semester. It's very tough and it will also take me several years just to get the pre-req's out of the way. Very challenging and requires a lot of patience and...

  21. what to take this fall and where?

    js408 replied to laura06baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in California also. I think of the courses you listed, Nutrition will be the easiest. A lot of it is just common sense and you can even take it online if your school offers it. The rest of it, you...

  22. GPA high enough?

    js408 replied to ~Belle~'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to get into the BSN program at Cal State San Jose... They require a whopping 2.5 GPA. What is that, a C-? I think 3.4 is a fine GPA and no small accomplishment considering your...

  23. I'm not sure where I would like to go.

    js408 replied to tigerlily4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out this website, it's specific to California but it probably applies in some ways to whatever state you live in. Gives a step by step guide to how to become a nurse, excellent website-...

  24. PreReqs: How long has it taken

    js408 replied to ladybug725's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm on the same plan but I started last year so I have a few years of schooling ahead of

  25. I'm not sure where I would like to go.

    js408 replied to tigerlily4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In California, you can become a registered nurse (RN) with a two-year associates degree in nursing. I wouldn't really worry about getting into the best-of-the-best college if you can't move out of...
