Yes, I felt that way at one point. However, the passion and desire to become a nurse was more powerful than my fear of not becoming a nurse. Find that passion and let it be the fuel. Say you don't get accepted on the first attempt.. then try again! A...

Yes, it is cheating. And at my school my instructors have said that if we know of any cheating going on that it is our moral responsibility to let them (the instructors) know of the cheating. They compared it to witnessing dishonest behavior while wo...

You are doing great! For some, it takes 20+ years for them to make the decision that you are making. And that is completely fine! You will meet lots of people in the same situation you are in and lots of people who are in completely different situati...

Hi there, I can relate to your post. I was 27 years old, married for seven years, and had a four year old and a one year old at home when I decided to go to school for nursing. I had never attended college before and was told by my high school adviso...

That's not bad, trust me. I took med term w/students who failed it. Seriously. I made tons of flash cards and used a dry-erase board to write the words over and over and over again. You're doing great! Don't worry!

Looking at emails and SPEAKING TO INSTRUCTORS is not the criteria for admissions. It is to help prepare the student for the work place. Attending class in your slippers is unprofessional. Sitting back and not participating in class does not help you ...

I may be a little late with this but as someone who is finishing up pre-req's at Baker, I feel I have a little insight. It's not the school that is bad, it is the students!! The Baker College student mentality drives me insane! First of all, before ...

I used a dry-erase board to write the words over and over and over. It's boring but it works!!

Hi Everyone, I'm currently taking A&PII and micro. My A&P lecture and lab and micro lecture are all on the same day. So that means I have three quizzes in one day, every week. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for this! I have...

Thank you! I am doing some everyday but your suggestion of viewing the chapter first and breaking that apart is very helpful. I think if I set a goal of what to study for each subject everyday and then give myself a day of review before the tests, I ...

I've heard that cursing like a sailor is a requirement if you want to work in the ER.

Hahahaha!! The funniest reply so far!!:lol2:

Hello Everyone! I am almost finished with my pre-req's, however, I have hit a bump in the road. I need to take a certain class that has been filled at my campus(Baker College of Flint). I cannot take any of my other classes until this class is fulfil...

Hi All! I was wondering if someone could tell me the process of Baker's clinical application process. I'm going to talk to the Dean about this but I was just curious if someone here wouldn't mind filling me in. What are the steps in applying? What do...

In many cases, community colleges have waiting lists. So, by the time you get into a community college you'll probably be ready to apply at the school you're already attending. I agree with the previous poster, not only will your credits transfer but...

I just wanted to share with you all that my four year old daughter just informed me that she wants to be a flight nurse when she grows up!! How cute is that?!? Then she said she could take the helicopter to kindergarden after she's done working!! :...

Funny how times have changed... when I was four I wanted to be a mail-lady or a truck driver. It makes me feel good to know that my daughter is so proud of me. I am trying so hard to be a good mom and a good nursing student. She is beginning to under...

"destiny4nursing: I am not sure, I think you can but I would call and ask first. I might call the Health Sciences Office. As far as getting into the program, grades count but so does your HESI score. Get a good study guide and study. Get used to the...

" I have a 4.0GPA, but I know people who applied with me && had a 4.0 that did not get accepted into the program. " Do you think they didn't get in because of their HESI score then?

Congratulations!! That is so awesome. So.... let me pick your brain a little bit:chuckle What was your GPA? Did you get in the first time you applied? Any words of wisdom for me? I hope to be applying for fall '10. Right now I have a 4.0 and I'm try...

Don't worry about those tests. They are intimidating at first especially if it's been a long time since you've in school. But they just measure what level you're at academically so you can start with the right classes. I had to start with math essent...

When I first read this article when it was featured on the homepage a few weeks ago, I fell in love with it. I can totally relate to so much of it, it really made a lasting impression. So, when I was assigned to give an oral reading for one of my cla...

Hey Everyone, Well, school has officially started for me as of Monday. By this spring my pre-req's will be completed and will be getting ready to apply for nursing school. I was shocked(however, I also understand) to see how many people are enrolled ...

Thank You Everyone, You're right. I shouldn't worry about others so much. Those who are cut out to be nurses will make it through school and those who are not won't get very far. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and for replying with such ...

I don't know about jobs, but I lived in Miami for several years. As the other poster said, it's a horrible place to raise a family. It's great to visit, but when you live in paradise, bad things happen. It's crazy expensive and the pay is not good. T...
