  1. Getting cold feet!

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

    Well look at it this way – life is uncertain. But if you make it through you will have a valuable certification that can provide you with good wages and job security for the rest of your life. You...

  2. Suggested Study Habits

    sunray12 replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use google to find a college a&p syllabus and follow along with that. If you can find a syllabus that specifically uses your textbook then even better. That way you can get a feel for what...

  3. In school for Radiology but considering changing to different school to become LPN

    sunray12 replied to hollisterkris22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'd better check with the LPN/RN programs you're interested in for prereqs. I'm pretty sure the math requirement is the same - i.e., college algebra or ability to test out of it. Also math is a big...

  4. Denver school of nursing and other schools that are not nationally accredited?

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

    Well in looking for a nursing program, I just noticed there are some community college RN programs in my state that are BON accredited but not nationally accredited. I’m assuming that this is...

  5. Loosing motivation

    sunray12 replied to hisgu74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. No reason to feel that way. Just focus on what you want not what other people want. Narrow down your school choices, finish your prereqs and apply. If you don’t get in then try a different...

  6. I love NURSING SCHOOL

    sunray12 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    i'm not in nursing school yet but i can say from experience that you absolutely don't want an easy degree. easy degree means you would have a high chance of being plagued with low wages and lack of...

  7. Is nursing the right direction to go?

    sunray12 replied to student2be09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think a calling is necessary. You need long term goals that would be accomplished through nursing, and a desire to get through the course work. The good thing about nursing is that it's very...

  8. Low overall GPA

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

    If nursing is what you want to do then of course you should stick with your plans. A lot of nursing programs have competitive admissions standards these days but there are still schools out there that...

  9. I am applying for student loan and I have bad credit

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

    Federal student loans aren’t credit based. All you need to do is fill out fafsa. If you need a private loan those are credit based and as isabellasmommy says if you don’t qualify on your own then...

  10. Doing a HUGE happy dance!!

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

    very kool. this shows there are some things (well plenty of things) where you really do need to go to the horses mouth so to speak if you want to

  11. Did my dream just die?

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

    No reason why it should (die). I know several people who have had knee replacement. The results were better for some than for others depending on their overall health. Losing weight and getting...

  12. chemistry vent!

    sunray12 replied to metalgirl70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone said above if you're getting decent grades on the practice tests then you'll do fine on the real exam. You're right - if you're coming from a different background then science is a...

  13. A&P teacher from...

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

    Did his syllabus state that the test would cover chaps 1-3? Or did he just spring it on you at the last minute? If it was the latter that's bad. If you're going to stay with this course and do well...

  14. Which bachelor's degree is best??

    sunray12 replied to twntrbo15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well there are also direct entry BA/BS to MSN programs where any non-BSN Bachelor's degree qualifies you for admission. You get your RN at the same time you get your MSN degree. You would graduate as...

  15. Can someone give a brief on Pre-reqs&dividing classes up

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

    Hi: The prereqs for nursing and most allied health programs are pretty similar. e.g. Whether you go with nursing or x-ray tech, one of your prereqs would probably be A&P I and II (anatomy and...

  16. Anybody else feel pre-reqs are easy?

    sunray12 replied to f1ourish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. And I have a graduate degree. I'm taking two classes at community college - they're not easy but they're thorough and I'm doing okay. My future plans are based on having a good grounding in the...

  17. CNA cert expired...do I renew to help me get in NS?

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

    Many people (and many people on this board) get into n-school with no experience in health care. So imo you don't need the cert if you don't plan to use it between now and the time you get into...

  18. How does the TEAS test compare to the NET test?

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

    I have a TEAS study guide and the material looks like its about 12th grade AP level. Third grade level?? For a really advanced 8 year old maybe

  19. Had to leave a nursing program will I get into another

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

    Sorry this happened to you. IMO if you have used up your fed student loans and are into the private loans zone you might be paying too much for school. So it might be for the best that you have an...

  20. BSN program interview

    sunray12 replied to Cls62011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ that's the best way to handle it. take a weakness and talk about the step(s) you've taken to correct it so that the weakness is now actually a strength. outfit number 2 sounds more businesslike....

  21. Chemistry & Anatomy help :\

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

    Hi, Did your professor assign a workbook to go with your text? That should make your life so much easier. Also go to the publisher's (of your main text) website. There should be scads of study aids...

  22. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    sunray12 replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a relative newbie to the board and I see quite a few references on on all nurses about online classes being easy. Trust me there's nothing easy about online education other than the fact that you...

  23. English 191 Online!

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

    Never assume an online class is going to be easier. The only easier part of online classes is if you're an off campus commuter then it will save you time and money getting to and from class especially...

  24. Anyone a CNA (while working on pre-req's)?

    sunray12 replied to nrsin4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my state with a cna you can apply for a hospital job as a pca. Taking the cna to help pay your way through school is a good idea. But if this is your plan you have to think in advance. The cna...

  25. Need Advice sooo depressed!!

    sunray12 replied to LilQueen CMA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you might be taking a lot of classes at once - and meanwhile with your other responsibilities as a mother, etc., etc., you may not be getting enough time to really focus on the...
