  1. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

    guiltysins replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You also have to keep in mind that certain classes are classes that only nursing students and other health professions take as someone pointed out. You won't really find a journalism major in A&P...

  2. Not quite ready

    guiltysins replied to liladybug526's topic in General Students

    I haven't even started the professional phase of my program and I'm already thinking "omg I'm really going to be a nurse in two years? Can I really do this...on my own without professors following me...

  3. average Accepted GPA

    guiltysins replied to cupcake231's topic in General Students

    Our school doesn't really have an avg. Anything over 3.0 gpa wise and 75% HESI wise will do it. I personally have a 3.6

  4. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Thanks lol I knew it was either all 4 or just 3. Someone said you could get a 90 the first semester but knowing the school they probably raised it to 100 lol. That's where you're wanting to preceptor...

  5. ADN vs. BSN - Work Experience Matters Right?

    guiltysins replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can volunteer, do an internship/externship program. As long as it is direct patient care it is considered to be experience. Best thing of course is get some connections in a hospital whether it be...

  6. RN Program or BSN Program

    guiltysins replied to beckamarie's topic in General Students

    Before I advise you of the ADN route, your profile says you live in Pennsylvania. You should see what most of the requirements for nurses are there. Up in the northeast things can sometimes work...

  7. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program, I haven't taken Community Health, none of these complaints are mine, but my classmates. What I mean by they don't have "clinicals" in anything they like is that the clinical...

    Okay well definetely keep it in if you are applying to christ hospital lol they'll like to see it. I don't have any suggestions on the book but I know there are a few posts on this forum with some...

  9. I hate when my school ______

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

    OMG they did this for my A&P book. They sell the binder version (basically the one with no covers) because it's cheaper. You can't sell it back to the bookstore. It's not even opened! The plastic...

  10. Taking Notes - By hand or by Laptop?

    guiltysins replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I write my notes out. I'm very good at note taking so I get a lot of the information when I write, I'm orgranized so when we move onto a new topic it has a new heading and so forth I also use...

  11. things i've been wondering about..

    guiltysins replied to katylady22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It also depends on your program. If you're doing a BSN program then you'll more likely need two math classes as pre-reqs. If not two you'll definetely need one math class which is usually 9 times out...

  12. Allied Health vs. 4 year Nursing program

    guiltysins replied to kendallhubbard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the Allied Health plan sounds pretty good. For one it provides a backup plan which is a very good plan. You should know that many BSN programs don't take just 4 years, unless you are going to...

  13. Entrance Essay Help for Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest taking God out of the essay, unless you're applying to a religious school. Also, I think your essay is a little generic, not bad but it doesn't really seperate nursing from any other...

  14. Any RN's who travel from NJ to NY for work PLEASE RESPOND

    guiltysins replied to EMERGENCYRNNJ's topic in New York Nursing

    Your RN license is in NY right because you can't work unless you have a NYS

  15. Organic Chemistry spring2010....questions&help/study group

    guiltysins replied to Servingshots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the book that I used for general chem is the same book I use for orgo and biochem cause it's one big book. The thing that helped me most in gen chem was the little chapter tests in the back of...

  16. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    That reminds me of another complaint! That if you retake the class you have to get a B or better, students don't understand why it's still not a C+. Umm if this is your second time taking the class,...

  17. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Well C doesn't even equal degree in my school. You have to get a minimum of a C+ in nursing classes lol. I think what most people were saying is that, some people don't put any effort in doing better...

  18. How do you contribute to the diversity of nursing?

    guiltysins replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    The fact that you are a second-degree student is also something you could work into it. Also I notice on your info it says you're 24, that's considered relatively young for nursing, try using that too...

  19. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    guiltysins replied to bigd123's topic in General Students

    That does make it

  21. Help with ideas for extra experience

    guiltysins replied to greenfaery's topic in General Students

    I'm right on that same boat as you. I was going back and forth between ADN and BSN so what I did was go on the hospital websites and see what kind of requirements they had. (A lot had "1 year of...

  22. lateral violence in school

    guiltysins replied to bigd123's topic in General Students

    I can't tell you how many times people have said "why don't you just go be a doctor or physician assistant." Most of these people don't realize how much a nurse actually does, especially in the...

  23. Couplet Care/Postpartum

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks you guys! Elvish, more likely my shift will be the night shift, since that's all they seem to offer most of the time. I know a lot of people think that there's less work if you work postpartum...

  24. OB/Peds...How was your experience?

    guiltysins replied to ToyiaC.Jack's topic in General Students

    I haven't done them yet but a few of my friends had mixed experiences. Some of my friends loved OB while others couldn't stand it. It was something they couldn't see themselves doing and they had a...

  25. Pregnant & Working... When to Tell?

    guiltysins replied to LNDRN2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all, I love the whole "fluffy patient" phrase lol Second, I think she's nervous because she doesn't want fellow co-workers thinking that she would use her condition to work less and things...
