    Coriander replied to thejourney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ATI-TEAS prep

    Coriander replied to snappycindy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! Usually General Bio (which is what I assume 100 is?) is needed for Anatomy, Physiology and Micro, so you'd probably have to take that anyways. Chemistry was also required for my program, and I...

    HELP! worried about gpa.....

    Coriander replied to kittyminky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations on your graduation! I also have a ridiculously low GPA because of my own screw ups in life, but I worked hard for my pre-reqs and was told that those are what are generally looked at....

    some encouragement please? i need it!!

    Coriander replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I was 32 when I went back to school. I ended up changing my major to nursing when I was 33. I didn't have a degree of any type, so I was essentially starting from scratch. It can be done. :)...

    Nursing Rejection Letter.

    Coriander replied to futurenursenesha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! We didn't actually receive a letter, but an e-mail (love budget cuts). Those who got in were notified by a phone call. My letter stated that we could roll over our application for Spring, and...

    Professors who grade based on 'looks'

    Coriander replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my community college, it was all too common to hear younger girls talking about how hot the teacher was and how they planned on using their looks to get their grades. My particular favorite was my...

    Recommendations (study tips/flash cards/books/etc) for Anatomy & Physiology

    Coriander replied to ForensicMI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my Anatomy class, the professor let us take photos of the models, which we would go over at home and before exams. That was an enormous help. There are several sites online which have drawings...

    Applying for RN school

    Coriander replied to Sylina2100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in California, so I'm probably not the best person to give an opinion. I've read in several threads that Texas looks good, and I think North Carolina may be as well (please correct me,...

    What the heck is the matter with my Cnas?

    Coriander replied to JavaMama98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know that when I've been in the hospital, there is something a little more comforting in hearing that I had my very own nurse or CNA (even though I knew I was sharing them with 12 other people )....

    TEAS Score

    Coriander replied to WldChrry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SDSU says that we need a minimum score of 75%, however as competitive as that program is, people were getting scores of 92 and still not getting in (me). We weren't allowed to even bring our own...

    Is it too much to ask?

    Coriander replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had classes with people who never bought the books, and it showed. I've also had classes with people who bought the books as soon as humanly possible. Sometimes this made a difference, but it...

    How many times did it take for you to get into the nursing school?

    Coriander replied to jetaimeparis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    102 out of 100? Ugh, you must be so frustrated! Keep trying. If this is your passion, don't let anyone or anything stop you. IF I get in for the Spring, it will be the second time I've applied. I was...

    Which Prereq is Harder: A&P or Microbiology or Chem?

    Coriander replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excellent question! I found chemistry tougher, especially the organic stuff, but still managed to squeak an A out of it. Anatomy I found easier since it was like a roadmap, but had problems with my...

    Frustrated, need to vent

    Coriander replied to MelanieS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh wow... I can only imagine your frustration. As of now, I can kind of relate. My loan came through, but only part of it. I'm going to be short more money than I have available. What the heck is...

    Dealing with death

    Coriander replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    I worked in a LTC facility for several months. I became very attached to my residents, and was heartbroken when the first one passed away. The first one, I found, was the hardest. The few others...

    ABSN without BA/BS

    Coriander replied to m2736185's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I understand the accelerated program to mean, going from a Bachelors to a Bachelors. I have two Associate's degrees as well and never was offered an acceleration program even though I have...

    question about students dressed in medical uniform in my class

    Coriander replied to 411nurseguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had several students who were LVN-RN ... they would go off to work right after class, so dressed in

    Spring 2010 Hopefuls!

    Coriander replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just called the Nursing office at SDSU and was told that those of us who have rolled over to Spring will hear in the end of December or beginning of January. Quite a wait, but at least I can settle...

    TEAS -percentile program??

    Coriander replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went and retrieved my TEAS score and paperwork to look. This is what it says: "The program percentile rank refers to the proportion of test takers from your specific type of nursing program (within...

    How can I change my study habits?

    Coriander replied to BrittanyLeigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also finished my pre-reqs at a community college (and two Associate's in the process). After being out of school for so long, the smaller class size helped

    How can I change my study habits?

    Coriander replied to BrittanyLeigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can tell you what not to do. I left home at 17 to go to college 800 miles away. I was very naive, shy and being away from home for the first time, I completely lost self-control. I attended...

    My chances for nursing school?

    Coriander replied to FutureNurse81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Where are you in terms of classes? Have you already checked into what schools need for pre-requisites? If you are new to this, I would suggest talking to a nursing advisor at the schools that...
