    penelopelp replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    penelopelp replied to TerpGal02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. I feel like I'm being singled out VENT

    penelopelp replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, politics are a part of any organization. Colleges seem to be one of the worst places for it. You've worked very hard, and you don't have much time left. Can you tough it out until...

  5. Has anyone heard of ACCUPLACER placement tests?

    penelopelp replied to Scooter5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Can you get student loans after a Bankruptcy

    penelopelp replied to scootersuz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you go into default on a Stafford loan, you can go through a repair process. I did that 10 or so years ago. I made regular payments for about 10 months and then I was no longer in default. I looked...

    penelopelp replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take any classes in Dayton. When we moved, I had just started looking at info about nursing--pre-reqs, etc. I did meet with somebody over at WSU, and she was very

  8. Am I Crazy?

    penelopelp replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The reason why I was wondering is because I believe Sinclair's chemistry is at a slower pace. I moved away from Dayton about 5 months ago, and I was very sad to hear of GM's closing. I hope everything...

  9. Am I Crazy?

    penelopelp replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Online Classes

    penelopelp replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AtomicWoman, That is good to hear. I was afraid that I would have less connection with other students by not going to a classroom. I wonder if all professors have a posting requirement? My class...

    You could start by taking one pre-req at a time. That's what I'm doing.

  15. Scared, Disappointed, Stressed. Very long but I need some advice.

    penelopelp replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can't go back and change what has happened in the past. It is very possible for you to still get a nursing degree! When I was your age, I kept changing my college major. I once told my grandfather...

  16. Here is a crazy question

    penelopelp replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question about the rolling Jansport backpack. Is there any problem with the straps getting under the wheels? I have a rolling backpack in another brand, and I had to cut the straps because...

    penelopelp replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Help! Working full time: which nursing school?

    penelopelp replied to FLFutureNurse18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to be a teacher, too! I'm in a very similar position. I am no longer working as a teacher--I recently moved across the country. It is a huge paycut for me to get a entry-level healthcare job,...

    penelopelp replied to josh1974's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I'd like to join in this conversation. I think nurses are paid what they are because it is a typically "female" professions, and historically those haven't paid well. I was a...

  21. Does your A&P have prereqs?

    penelopelp replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, you have to take Bio and Chem to get into A&P, and College Algebra is the pre-reqs for those. However, they have a math test, and if you get a high enough score, you don't have to...

    penelopelp replied to aml1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into an accelerated BSN program? I already have a Bachelor's, and in my area, it would take about the same amount of time for accelerated BSN as an ADN. Of course, if I don't get in...
