  1. Things to do before the real stuff begins

    serasarah18 replied to ams24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be done with nursing school in May and looking back, I wish I looked over pharmacology in advance. I think you would have a huge advantage if you become familiar with these drugs before school...

  2. Go for CNA or Volunteer?

    serasarah18 replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say CNA. I volunteered before and it's not the same hands on experience. However, I got my license with my first semester of nursing school. I didn't have to pay for extra, because my classes...

  3. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    serasarah18 replied to Protongirl's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey I also graduated from UCSD in 08! There's more people at Hopkins from UCSD than I expected. The change from San Diego to Baltimore is going to be significant. I'm still adjusting. I remember being...

  4. Hopkins Accelerated/Traditional Applicant

    serasarah18 replied to irvster87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I found out less than a month after I sent my application. I turned my application after the due date for ED. I was going to do regular decision, but changed it to ED a week later so I didn't...

  5. Hopkins Accelerated/Traditional Applicant

    serasarah18 replied to irvster87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sera1987, it's only the people that applied for the bs/msn option that are interviewed. You can request an interview, but it's not necessary. All I did was send an application, spoke once to the...

  6. Hopkins Accelerated/Traditional Applicant

    serasarah18 replied to irvster87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently in my first semester at Hopkins and I remember going through this not too long ago. I personally chose the traditional program, because the summer in between the two years gives you time...

  7. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    serasarah18 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah that's about the same for mine. I still couldn't afford all of tuition with financial aid. I had to get out my own loan just to cover tuition and luckily my parents are helping with everything...

  8. Preparing to apply to UCSF MEPN program... Any Advice?

    serasarah18 replied to Piggles10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was lucky enough to be involved with a medical brigade in Honduras. It was only a week and it made me realize how much I really wanted to become a nurse. I gained a lot of good contacts (Two of the...

  9. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    serasarah18 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a private school and an expensive one at that. I remember looking at data last week regarding areas/schools that has students with the most debt and this was rated one of the top ten most...

  10. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    serasarah18 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose the nursing school I will be attending in the fall mostly because of prereqs. There are just so many and this school had the least. When I applied, I was just so sick of taking classes that I...

  11. Can anyone explain quarter vs. semester credits

    serasarah18 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to a school on the quarter system. Instead of 2 semesters within a year, it's divided up into three 10 week quarters (fall, winter and spring). So one quarter is a little bit less than one...

  12. What should I do? UC Davis student here...

    serasarah18 replied to lovenurses87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the same situation when I first considered nursing my sophomore year at UCSD. I was a psychology major and took most of the prereqs at a community college. It's a lot cheaper (it was only $80...

  13. Anyone applying to the Duke ABSN program for Fall 2009 (c/o 2011)?

    serasarah18 replied to ybq2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrates SFChef! I'm glad everything worked out for you. You truly deserve

  14. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    serasarah18 replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was afraid of this too, but so far I feel like the people in the program want you to succeed. They have a high retention rate and I only hear positive things from the students. I've been reading the...

  15. Been accepted for Fall 2009? Shout your good news here!

    serasarah18 replied to cpkRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't even know I could apply until two weeks before the due date. I literally sent out my application the day it was supposed to be postmarked. I wanted to apply for Early Decision, but the due...

  16. Anatomy Tutoring

    serasarah18 replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One option instead of paying for tutoring is to just sit in on the class. I've done that in the past and it's been pretty

  17. Anatomy & Physiology

    serasarah18 replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My anatomy book was only $6! My professor was very considerate and didn't require an expensive book. My physiology book was $60 bucks I think. The professors provided the lab material or we had the...

  18. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    serasarah18 replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm pretty sure it's based on date of application. I asked the staff during an online discussion a similar question and it sounded like the process was rolling admission which they confirmed. This is...

  19. Trying to make it through until nursing school....

    serasarah18 replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried working full time while taking my prereqs one at a time but it was too difficult and way too slow. And it didn't help that I hated my job so now I'm working part time with a significant cut in...

  21. Affording pre-reqs and nursing school

    serasarah18 replied to mina11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow that is ridiculous price to pay at a community college. I'm currently in San Diego and it's only 20 dollars a unit. I don't think it matters where you take your prereqs. Just make sure the school...

  22. Which program to choose???

    serasarah18 replied to Serenity4984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm assuming it's going to take some time to do your prereqs. Then you can decide after finishing a couple of them if you want to apply for schools on the east coast. The ones for Hopkins, NYU,...

  23. Which program to choose???

    serasarah18 replied to Serenity4984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not familiar with orange. I'm currently in San Diego, but I know a lot of friends around that area that have the same problem. Perhaps you can take some classes online, but you should check with...

    serasarah18 replied to Serenity4984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Which program to choose???

    serasarah18 replied to Serenity4984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah all these classes are impacted, because they're required for many students. I didn't get the best times either, but just be persistent and you'll get in somewhere. A lot of students drop out...
