1. stressing- how do you pay for nursing school

   bhanson replied to CNA2day's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately that is how it works. There is very specific criteria they use to determine if parental income is figured into your expected family contribution (EFC). I am 23 and file my own taxes. I...

2. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

   bhanson replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'd just like to add that you will get as much out of A&P as you put into it. Yes, a lot of the anatomy is rote memorization and will require brute repetition for retention. Yes, you will forget...

   bhanson replied to NursingN.C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   While it is much tougher to find a job these days if nursing is the only thing you can see yourself doing then there is no choice. By the way, anecdotal evidence in my local area leads me to believe...

4. A&P I and II - Prerequisites

   bhanson replied to FNPHopeful2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   The first part of A&P I also covers some basics. Most notably you would be missing vocabulary, chemistry, cells, and tissue. The vocabulary is simple and the Chemistry you would have already...

   bhanson replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

10. Pre-nursing student = no job?

    bhanson replied to happyheart65's topic in General Students

    Managers at hospitals have a lot of red tape to cut through when hiring people. When I applied for a CNA position a while ago I didn't hear anything back for 2 months. I had completely forgotten...

11. Grade Inflation in Nursing School

14. Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    bhanson replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    That is an incredibly liberal reason for throwing out questions. Anything in our book is fair game. In fact, I'm not even sure how such a policy could exist in nursing school considering it is...
