  1. I think we need a second degree student section...

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

    If you need financial aid then you're actually better off looking at direct entry master's degree programs than you are looking at LPN or ADN programs. Having a Bachelor's degree makes you eligible...

  2. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

    sunray12 replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting thread. The debate about how much a NP can do vs a MD prompted me to google the definition state code but didn't take the time to research thoroughly as this was just a quickie search out...

  3. Are trade school RN programs career suicide?

    sunray12 replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Speaking from a general point of view nothing is career suicide other than things like malfeasance and criminal activity. If the standard in the profession is a particular license and you qualify for...

  4. Blood Bath

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

    I'm seeing quite a bit of this on the board tonight. I'm also guessing that quite a few people will be back to report that they got A's. Don't assume the worst until you see your grade. You probably...

  5. Feel Like Giving Up

    sunray12 replied to Unique87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You’ve come part of the way and you say you’re doing fine, plus you’re taking the extra effort with tutoring, etc., so why stop now? I don’t think you should give up because of one test. You...

  6. chemistry and admissions question

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

    I'm not in Ok so I can't answer the specifics to your question but I assumed gen chem and intro to chem are on the same level and not one higher than another. Or is that not so in your college? In my...

  7. about the nursing program in Shenandoah University

    sunray12 replied to LisneyD's topic in Virginia Nursing

    IMO in the long run no one is going to care what school you went to or whether you enrolled in school A because you didn't get into school B. Those factors don't make anyone a better or worse...

  8. Advice needed about Drexel's ACE program

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

    I'm pretty sure I read a detailed thread here by people in the Drexel Ace program. Try the Pa forum on this board. Drexel programs are challenging across the board. They like things done their way -...

  9. Can you guys please help? So sick of this...

    sunray12 replied to yuyu75's topic in General Students

    1) The science prereqs. You can do them and do well even if you weren’t the “science whiz” when you were younger. I am one who did the bare minimum of science to get my undergrad degree so I...

  10. Low GPA nursing student (Philly)

    sunray12 replied to nursema31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nursing school programs are two years or less if you go ft, so I personally would not want to start over after having put in two years. How close are you to finishng? In your shoes my priority...

  11. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

    sunray12 replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

    this says it all to me. the woman is sickly and crotchety and has problems of her own. i'm sorry she's picked you to lash out at but this is what people often do when they are sick. as a nurse you...

  12. feeling discouraged

    sunray12 replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The lottery system and waitlists are usually at community college and some state u programs - this is because everyone wants in-state tuition if they can get it. There are still private schools that...

  13. A & P 1

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

    I work ft - don't get to study till in the evening so I've had to figure out how to be efficient. If you have a workbook that goes with your text book and or class handouts then focus your studying...

  14. Scholarships/Grants for Nursing???

    sunray12 replied to the six of us's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hospitals are a good idea - many offer scholarships where you'd have to work for them for a few years after you graduate. If you’re enrolled in a Virgina community college then look at their...

  15. A&P 1 class too easy?

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

    My A&P isn't easy. It's fast paced and has a lot of chemistry interspersed with it which is challenging for me because I haven't had chemistry since h.s. which was a long time ago. And my h.s....

  16. school changed NET score, missed my chance

    sunray12 replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sucks. I guess the moral is when in doubt apply anyway. If this is a community college and there's no application fee then you have nothing to lose anyway. If you don't qualify I think they let...

  17. has finiacial crisis kept you from getting student loans and grants?

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

    As IM says federal student loans are not credit based. All you need to do is fill out FAFSA. So I'm assuming you've done that for the 08-09 school year. Your school financial aid office handles the...

  18. is anyone taking a minor?

    sunray12 replied to able2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to but when it came down to it I couldn't find the time for the extra classes so my focus is just prereqs for now then I will concentrate on just nursing school through the bsn or msn. After...

  19. I am back, oh gosh i missed you guys!

    sunray12 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am fairly new to the board so I don't know your older posts but your hard work and achievements are definitely an inspiration and the kind of thing that we aspiring nurses come here for. Good luck...

  20. Being a student with today's economy

    sunray12 replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    U of P is expensive. The people I know who are enrolled there are getting tuition reimbursement from their employers which covers most of their expense. If you don't have tuition reimbursement you...

  21. Anybody working full time while in school?

    sunray12 replied to Juicy925's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work ft but I'm still in the prereqs phase and thinking ahead to how I'll do when I'm in nursing school hopefully next year. I see a lot of school's recommending that people don't work or don't work...

  22. NVCC Fall '08 Stats

    sunray12 replied to RNwannabe2011's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If you log into your vccs account and look at the nursing 1 sections you'll get an idea of present enrollment - 150 sounds/looks about right. I don't know what percentage of applicants that...

  23. If you decide to start travel nursing after a year of working at home...

    sunray12 replied to xstalkrx's topic in Travel

    I'm not a nursing student yet but this isn't what the agency ads I've been seeing are saying. I don't have names off the top of my head but they can be found recruiting on most nursing job boards. The...

  24. Liberty University Online RN-BSN Program

    sunray12 replied to NurseLay's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The curriculum looks standard to me and they do have alums working all over the world. The religious pov pertains more to the way they teach ethics and also you'd probably hear a lot about the concept...

  25. True or False Advice

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

    My degree was heavy on the humanities and social sciences. If your chiropractor was talking about your gen ed - non science courses then I agree just focus on the grade. You'll probably remember the...
