  1. Do all schools do this??:(

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Students

    hmmm..at my local cc, you only had to take a placement exam if you hadn't taken certain courses when you were in high school. i never had to take a placement test. i feel for those who

  2. trying to get into a nursing program...but have bad grades from the past

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to CBxoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    don't get so discouraged about a 2.7 gpa. some of the bsn programs (which have accelerated tracks!) around here aren't nearly as competitive .......just very expensive. i know someone with a 2.69...

  3. SOS---911---HELP!! I'm not passing A&P II

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    what have you gone over so far? yes, a&p 2 is more than just pure memorization. it may take more than flash cards (i never used flash cards for a&p 2). i tried to understand everything i went...

  4. Please help me, my Micro instructor is from hell!!

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to afranklin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i'm sorry about your predicament! it seems as though we all run into instructors that aren't orgnaized and do not prepare us well for exams. the good news is that you know what to expect for her...

  5. is this a bad idea? please read...

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

    have you seen if you qualify for any awards at this school you are thinking about? i would say that should be your first step. send your fafsa info to them and see what happens. never hurts to try!...

  6. Disappointing Undergrad Grades

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Anikka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    a 2.8 is not academic suicide, believe me! once you take those pre-req's you may see a slight jump. if you can get your gpa up to at least a 3.0, you can apply to accelerated programs. there are...

  7. Now its getting outta HAND !

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    i'm with you. i know what you are saying and it sounds like you have some great ideas on how to get through this class. just do your best, it's all you can do

  8. I need Psychology 101 HELP!!! Rio Salado

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to aawilwcb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i had the same problem. i would have thought the class was going to be a little easier (the material certainly wasn't that difficult!) but i felt like my psychology professor didn't prepare us well...

  9. Transfer GPA?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    no no no no no! not sending all of your transcripts is fraud and will result in hefty punishments if you get caught. please avoid that

  10. Given credit for A&P II , should I take the class????

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to rntobe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    this is a great idea! why not sit in on the lectures of the course and try to get out of it what you

  11. Transfer GPA?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if you are trying to get into a nursing program which looks at your cumulative gpa, then yes they will look at that old transcript. it's tough to say if it will effect your chances. some schools allow...

  12. Pre-Nursing student thinking of getting pregant...feedback? Kinda long...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i have a friend who is trying to get pregnant while taking her pre-req's. she would wait but she is in her 30's and doctors worry about her waiting anymore so, fingers crossed that something happens...

  13. Now its getting outta HAND !

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    ugh! sorry to hear about your experience! like someone else has said, calmy approach this. some professors seem to get really "offended" when we students critique their methods...quick story: i...

  14. I am so confused on where to start...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to Chrissylgg's topic in General Students

    were you looking into an accelerated program? if you at least have a bachelors degree, you shouldn't have to go through 4 years. accelerated bsn programs are much quicker and are usually noted on...

  15. Who'd a thought that history would wind up being my toughest class!

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

    yea, pray for me! thanks for your stories! glad to know i wasn't

  16. Who'd a thought that history would wind up being my toughest class!

    BellasMommyOBRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i started taking a 7 week history class this semester, and was surprised when i read the curriculum....a total of 25 essays, no less than 500 words, were due throughout the 7 weeks:eek: lol i find...

  17. STLCC / A&P1

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes, when taking physiology with anatomy, there is much more than memorization that needs to be involved. i normally studied until i could clearly explain it (whatever system i was working on) to...

  18. What class was/is your hardest????

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    this is me to a "t". i wish that nursing had more science based classes. i feel like some schools have a little too much "fluff" to their curriculum. like, 2 years of foreign language? come

  19. Nurses Going to Med School

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    yea, be careful of saying "easier". that is a subjective statement i have taken organic chemistry 1 and was successful, i will be taking 2 in the fall. it was pretty intense but it was interesting!...

  20. What should I take?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to petra3's topic in General Students

    it kind of depends on the school you wish to go to. most schools differ with pre-req's which is why some people take classes that they find out they don't need with some schools. find a school, talk...

  21. Nurses Going to Med School

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    gpa doesn't have to be above a 3.6. maybe for the "better" schools but a friend of mine was accepted with a 3.3 (do school). just thought i would throw that in there! i am thinking about doing the...

  22. Can anyone give me advice on studying for Anatomy Class?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to NoSleepTil'...'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    often times the first test is the most stressful simply because we never know how/what the professor likes to ask! professors are all different, that's for sure! push yourself to do the best you can...

  23. why is this happening?

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to ciroshkaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you may be putting too much stress on yourself. don't overwhelm yourself when you study, take each piece of information one at a time, one class at a time. also, not everyone can simply read a text...

  24. Nursing Admission Essay

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to nursefor2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    just be honest. don't tell them anything that you think they want to hear. in my essay, i mentioned how my grandmother was a nurse (as well as many of my aunts) and how it just "grew up" with me. i...

  25. Question? I can't decide...

    BellasMommyOBRN replied to somethingbetter4me's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hmm, that's a tough choice. i probably would wait to be admitted into a fall-starting program. i know the wait is hard! on the other hand, i have heard of many success stories from people that have...
