  1. what are you doing over the break?

    sunray12 replied to butterfly135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mainly studying. My fall classes were late start so I won't be finished with them until Jan. By that time I will also have started on some of my spring semester prereqs so it will be a hectic new year...

  2. Anyone get a C in A&P?

    sunray12 replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not all programs grant admission based solely on grades. Some will let you in if you complete their application checklist in time. And some look at other aspects of your applicant profile. In most...

  3. Where can an LPN work besides in a hospital or clinic?

    sunray12 replied to dsidney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a fan of desk work so I agree. :) But to answer OP's question most office positions for nurses require the RN and typically they want experienced RN's - usually you can't go from nursing...

  4. plz answer my qestion about GED

    sunray12 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    My local hs used to have this program. And yes I think you can work right out of hs. If the hs no longer offers the program then it's also possible that community college or the county adult learning...

  5. family support

    sunray12 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing you can do is look for ways to minimize the cost of your education. Fill out your FAFSA and apply for financial aid with your school. And do research on your own. There are scholarships and...

  6. What if I don't get in???

    sunray12 replied to mzahnow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only applying for one school for Fall 09. If I don't get in there I'll be ready to apply for my backup in Jan '10. The schools have different prereqs so I can't apply for both at

  7. A&PII Hardest Topics

    sunray12 replied to futurenurseashley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that the way the topics are divvied up between the two courses may vary. e.g. In my school cardiovascular is in part

  8. Microbiology 2009

    sunray12 replied to Sapana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry things didn't work out for you this semester. You may have seen this thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/f198/can-i-do-p-ii-348361.html The original poster in this thread is going through...

  9. Nursing schools with SANE policies

    sunray12 replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

    ^^If I encountered this scenario I'd start looking at other allied health programs. Nursing is appealing because of the broad scope of practice, but if it's a matter of being sidelined for years while...

  10. Can I do this A&P II

    sunray12 replied to seaspray700777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many take A&P more than once. You know from your experience with the drug dosage class that twice can make perfect (or close to it). I'd actually be happy if I had time to take A&P I twice but...

  11. Did I make the right choice?

    sunray12 replied to wellhereiam's topic in General Students

    You know yourself best and you admit that although you have no problem with the course work you didn't like the patient care aspect so for that reason it sounds to me like you made the right decision...

  12. Nursing or pharmacist?

    sunray12 replied to Shift_Mike's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is a nursing board I'll advise you to go for nursing because you'll have a much broader scope of practice and opportunity than as a pharmacist. As a mechanic you've probably had to do a lot...

  13. Advice: Current undergrad, low gpa, accel-BSN program?

    sunray12 replied to HoneyOats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing schools look mainly at your science gpa and your grades in their prereq courses. If your science grades aren't wonderful now you can always retake them (especially the ones required by the...

  14. Passed First Semester

    sunray12 replied to blynn9173's topic in General Students

    Congrats.

  15. Improving chances to be accepted

    sunray12 replied to Loverunning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there's a preference for BS over BA. What's very important is to have completed all school/program prerequisites for nursing schools as soon as you can so that you can get your...

  16. Know-it-all Professor

    sunray12 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    The title of this thread is odd. It sounds like OP thinks that a professor who knows stuff is a bad thing. Granted professors are only human so they don't know everything but in most cases they know...

  17. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    sunray12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    I see things a bit differently. If the pinning ceremony means a lot to you then you should go. Granted it will be hard knowing your friends will be moving on to the next level whereas you have to stay...

  18. Re-Take College Algebra and/or Chemistry Classes?

    sunray12 replied to Mr_Tom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't second guess admissions at whatever school(s) you're looking at. They're the ones who have the last word on whether or not your courses will transfer or not transfer. If they say your courses...

  19. I got my thin letter

    sunray12 replied to ImNotWitty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know from dealing with different types of schools that letters of acceptance aren't always thick. The thin letter/thick letter idea is based on an old school model where different college...

  20. What are other good paying jobs in healthcare?

    sunray12 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Most allied health pay is similar to nurse pay if patient care is involved. But as a nurse you have more room for advancement and a wider range of options for specialization than you would in most...

  21. Is it okay to take all pre-reqs for 2nd degree BSN programs online?

    sunray12 replied to mina11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IA. Your best bet is to get in touch with the admissions office of the school(s) you're interested in, have your transcripts reviewed to see what they will/won't accept and also email/fax course...

  22. should I take MicroBiology before Anatomy and Physiology?

    sunray12 replied to jimbojonesey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is a level above A&P. If you've had other general biology courses then you can probably do micro but if you haven't then you should probably start with

  23. Actually a few questions..............

    sunray12 replied to startingoverat38's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's possible to take A&P with labs online. It's also possible to take other science courses with lab online although these can be harder to find than a&p online. Online course work is not...

    sunray12 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^to answer your question directly. no. getting through a&p is a lot of work and this is just a taste of what nursing school is like. if this is giving you anxiety then it probably isn't for you...
