  1. Question on Accreditation

    Krystin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college is starting an ADN with a local hospital. The hospital formerly had a diploma program but this year have discontinued it in favor of the ADN. The problem is that, being a new...

  2. Question on Accreditation

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

    Update: I spoke to an RN-BSN program in the state and they allege that this will be

  3. So, I got an F this fall and I'm starting to have panic attacks...

    Krystin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I failed precalculus. Completely. I knew around the final drop date that I was nearly doomed, but I'm on the GI Bill and if I drop a class at my school, the government would charge me about $2k that I...

  4. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    Krystin replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to be a CRNA. I'm not an RN at this time. I start schooling to become an RN in the fall. I have a 3.7 GPA (30+ credits) and I'm 28 years old. I do not have a previous bachelors degree, but I do...

  5. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

    Krystin replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am officially starting at the Jefferson College of Health Sciences this

  6. Are private schools really easier to get into?

    Krystin replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That was the question, yes, but it implied a lot more - as we can all see from how the thread evolved. I guess my point is, just because a program is harder to get into or more competitive, it...

  7. Are private schools really easier to get into?

    Krystin replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree completely. I'm applying to one of these programs because I can start this summer or fall instead of having to wait to even apply till April 2011 for a class seat in Fall 2011 only to be in...

  8. Are private schools really easier to get into?

    Krystin replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think in regards to schools like the one I'm sort of pinning my hopes on access in general is easier. It's not solely based on "if you can pay, you're in," but that sort of is what feeds them. It's...

  9. Are private schools really easier to get into?

    Krystin replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied to a local(ish) private, for profit, accredited school. Jefferson College of Health Sciences. Of the schools in my area they are the only ones with a rolling admission...

  10. Low GPA

    Krystin replied to Lauren311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apply anyway. The worst that can happen is rejection - but you can't even get THAT if you don't try. Do not fear it. Are there any other schools you can apply to in the area, at all? I'm currently...

  11. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    Krystin replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am unapologetic about good grades. I earned them. If they didn't - that's their fault/problem! OF COURSE I don't go about rubbing it in or being a jerk. I constantly offer study groups and...

  12. I just applied to Nursing School!!!

    Krystin replied to NerdyNurse2012's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!!! And GOOD LUCK!!! I'm currently putting the finishing touches on my application and I'm already so nervous. Things like this really just make us feel so inferior even if we...

  13. Personal Statement

    Krystin posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am attempting to write a personal statement for BOTH entrance to a school as well as their nursing program (it's all one app there's no seperate nursing app). I've googled and googled and received...

  14. Personal Statement

    Krystin replied to Krystin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, I'm pretty sure I've got this where I want it. I just want to thank you again UVA for your insight. Like I said, I was just worried it would start reading like "oh poor me and my tragic life" but...

  15. Personal Statement

    Krystin replied to Krystin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks so much for your reply. The problem is this school isn't asking any specific question. It simply says "A personal statement or letter of intent" is recommended. I see what you're saying...

  16. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

    Krystin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone else get a little discouraged when half the students in your class are working on prereqs for nursing? Summer classes started and mine are all online, so it's largely discussion board...

  17. Cheating on final

    Krystin replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's pretty disgusting. I think a lot of people have it in their heads that somehow nursing is going to be "easy money." Do they watch too many WW2 movies? You know, the ones that romaticize girls...

  18. Nursing school choice/which is best

    Krystin replied to mlo4567's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are those the only two choices? You may want to apply to more. I'm in a similar situation. There is only one school where I will live with a nursing program as of December. I have to hope I get in, or...

  19. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

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

    See a different advisor. I go to AWC in Yuma and I haven't had any such problems. Some of this probably has to do with being a first year student. I highly suggest talking to another advisor for...

  20. Unsupportive husband

    Krystin replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually had a similar experience during the spring. I was taking my psychology class online, so I was sitting on the couch taking a full on chapter test. Of course, they're timed so I was in full...

  21. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

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

    I'm not insecure about it. My grades are great. It's more like what RADIATIONRN2BE described. And, the sheer number. As others have said, plenty can change their minds and any number of us could too....

  22. I'm working on my pre-reqs for Nursing

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

    Whew. I'm glad it's not just me. Now I don't feel quite like such a jerk. I guess the other pre-req'ers in my classes probably feel the same way I do too. Lucky for me I'm stubborn when I know...

  23. How old is too old?!?!?

    Krystin replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be 31 by the time i'm finished with school and hold a BSN (provided all goes according to plan, of course!) The way I see it, I'll be 31 in 3 years no matter what. Either I'll be 31 embarking...

  24. Has anyone ever FAILED a class before?

    Krystin replied to CuteBabi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I failed English 102 in 2007 because I ceased showing up to class due to various life interferences. It was my mistake for not dropping for a W that semester (like i did with my other classes). Every...

  25. how are you and will you pay for school?

    Krystin replied to ilovemychihuahua's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right now during prereqs i work full time with a decent salary and take online or night classes. I pay for this myself at the community college where, at least in Arizona, it's pretty cheap. Next...
