  1. Can't get Finanical Aid!!!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to powers2004's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I can shed some light on your dilemma. There are minimal requirements that need to be met in order to receive financial aid. First, a school has a minimum cumulative GPA that needs to be met,...

  2. I wanna know a little about nursing school and how hard you found it to be.

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to lovelyB's topic in General Students

    I agree. From reading the posts in the forum, I have come to the conclusion that several factors play into whether or not students find nursing school difficult. First, I think a lot of it has to do...

  3. Nursing School Transfer

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Sierale's topic in General Students

    If you transfer to a different school, I am sure a lot of your credits will not transfer. I think it is a conspiracy among universities in order to get more money out of the students. Anyways, have...

  4. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    So far I have a 93% average in all of my classes which is an A-. When I started nursing school, I told myself that I would not get caught up in the whole, "I need to make straight A's". This is not...

  5. accelerated asn olol

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to rpc19's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I am in an accelerated program. I work very part time and spend a significant amount of time on my school work. There are students in my class who work full-time, but who are doing exceptionally...

  6. ATI Anyone??

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to robynnelpnstudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My school is doing the same. In fact, 10% of our final grade is based upon the score we receive on the ATI test for that particular class. They live by it! We recently had an ATI representative...

  7. my heart is breaking

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to raygun354's topic in General Students

    Raygun 354, I had to do the same thing. I had to pay $500.00 to reserve a seat. Of course the counselor said it will come off of the top of my tuition (and that comment makes me feel better...

  8. Do you study from your text books ?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I skim the chapters before I go to my class. During lecture, our instructor will indicate what is important by saying, “this is something I would understand”. After lecture, any part of it that I...

  9. in need of a hearing impaired stethscope!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to spungeycake's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I couldn't find one in my area either. I decided to try the Littmann 3000 series. I had to call to order it, but while speaking with the customer service person, I asked if the stethescope doesnt...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to coonsey1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi Chris. I have an undergraduate degree in Business Management and an MBA from IU Kelly School of Business. I decided to make the jump this year. I do have to admit that I was considering nursing...

  11. Is it possible to just get it???

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN posted a topic in General Students

    This is my first semester of nursing school. I am currently in Fundamentals and find that most of it is common sense. I really don't know how to explain it, but when my professors lecture, it just...

  12. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your professor stopped class to ask those individuals to stop texting...multiple times ? In one of my courses there were two girls who sat in the back of the class and constantly chatted. About the...

  14. Is it possible to just get it???

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    Very well said...and thanks for your input. I have heard that the closer I get to graduation, the more difficult it will become...I'm okay with that though...I just think it's a shock to me. I...

  15. Is it possible to just get it???

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    I must say a big thank-you to everyone who responded. The post isn’t meant to be a “if I get it, why can’t you?” I was becoming worried because I am in my school’s second nursing class....

  16. Would your teacher have failed your IV piggyback for this?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

    I am currently in Fundamentals and have not had any clinicals as of yet. My instructors are so very nice. In fact, when they lecture, they point out the material that is of most importance. After...

  17. Hearing Aids and Stethoscopes

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have the Littmann 3000 electronic stethoscope. All I can say about it is, “WOW!” I have tried several different ones including Littmann’s Cardiology III model and still had problems hearing...

  18. New RN needs career advice...:(

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Sieren's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly how you feel. The difference for me is that I decided to go into Nursing. I attended an Ivy League university where I earned my undergraduate degree. I decided shortly after...

  19. feeling discouraged

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to sckooshy1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which IVY Tech Campus did you get accepted to? I applied there with a 4.0 GPA and 93 TEAS and was not accepted! I found about another program and decided to go with it. It costs a lot more, but I am...

  20. Would this upset you?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    I would say if you feel more comfortable staying at the nursing home to finish out clinical, then do so. However, this might be a great opportunity to work with the other group. If you say there is a...

  21. Need Advice - What would YOU do?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Hopkins_undergrad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 4.0 GPA for pre-reqs and @ 93 on the TEAS…still didn’t get in. The counselor told me to work harder in getting a higher score on the TEAS. So, I researched other schools. I decided to...

  22. How do I pay my bills?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to PLM311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think someone else posted the idea of working in a healthcare setting before you start nursing school. That is by far the best option. Often times, when a healthcare organization finds out that...

  23. Well that explains it!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to peytonsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! A 3.3 GPA would not have gotten you a second look at my school. Here is what I think about nursing school. First, I applied at a local community college with a 4.0 GPA and about a 93% on the...

  24. Seriously?!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry, Dr. AtomicWoman, but until we receive your high school transcripts, we are unable to verify that you actually graduated from high school and that is one of our policies. "You're right Mr....

  25. Seriously?!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank goodness for someone exercising some common sense. I had to do the same. I have an BS in Management and they wanted HS transcripts. The arguments of, “wouldn’t a college transcript...
