    Southern Magnolia replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

  3. What does Provisional Acceptance mean?

    Southern Magnolia replied to NavyVet28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have classes that are prerequisites that are in progress? In my experience that means you're accepted provided you maintain your gpa and complete any acceptance requirements outstanding. Ask...

  4. What can I expect from the HESI entrance exam?

    Southern Magnolia replied to tbabbyy143's topic in General Students

    Could have sworn I typed a reply earlier . . . The evolve reach study guide is what I used. True to the test unless you're weak in the sciences. I'd recommend the guide for getting an idea of the...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Southern Magnolia replied to froggirl76's topic in General Students

    Southern Magnolia posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm thinking this is a typo in my pathophysiology book but just want opinions. I am not in nursing school yet. I'm taking path online from a community college and will transfer it into my BSN...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you both. I did find the blood thing. Looks like my first thoughts were correct but man that sentence made my head hurt for a few

  9. can anyone recommend an online Microbiology class w/Lab?

    Southern Magnolia replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Sorry just saw your question. You purchase a lab kit, do cultures, take photos and email to the prof. There are online tests and written lab reports with the photos. I took it this time last

  10. Need Encouragement--Unexplained RPL.

    Southern Magnolia replied to alove1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All I can say is try to surround yourself with supportive people and know that you are not alone. I have two healthy children but my 2nd pregnancy was twins and I lost one (our only girl) to a birth...

  13. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    Southern Magnolia replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    Eastern Oregon University does weird terms- starting around now I think. EOU doesn't charge out of state tuition for online classes. In AZ Rio Salado does courses that are 8 weeks and can start any...

  14. Am I the only one?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Rachelmm007's topic in General Students

    I second the drawing suggestion. Also I recommend notecards. It is a very time consuming course but so much of nursing will come back to A&P in one way or

  15. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Southern Magnolia replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are we talking about the same NAU? Northern Arizona? Northern Arizona does count chem and you do have to have chemistry before beginning nursing

  16. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Southern Magnolia replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh - no idea about how many will apply but for fall start I was told over 100 applications went up to Flag JUST FROM TUCSON. My guess (and that's all it is) is that there are probably 300-400 people...

  17. NAU Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    Southern Magnolia replied to lilyblooming's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just took the Hesi a2 for NAU Tucson and I used the suggested guide and thought it was appropriate preporation for the exam. For the math, reading comp, vocab, grammar the test is exactly like the...

  18. Frustrated by unhelpful advisors :(

    Southern Magnolia replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of a university giving preference to students that did their prerequites at the university vs. Any where else. I could be wrong of course. In my experience programs either run a...

  19. What are you doing while you wait for acceptance letters???

    Southern Magnolia replied to Belli 40 LVN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking the one and only corequisite I can transfer into the program, spending way too much time on AN, and getting my house in order. There's a community garage sale in April so I'm hoping to...

  21. Pulling up your long hair....

    Southern Magnolia replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Yep me too. My hair is just above my shoulders now but I still get headaches if I put it in a ponytail b/c it is so thick. When my hair was super long and I had to wear it up I pulled it up loosely...

  22. NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    NAUTUCSON, I turned mine in 2 weeks ago. Now I wish I had waited . . . Just added time to the clock. I can't believe there aren't more Tucson folks on here. Fingers crossed for us

  23. Lament of the White Clinical Pants

    Southern Magnolia replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    My uniform for CNA training was all white. Just had to stock up on skin tone undies and tanks! I never did get all the snow/mud stains out of the pants though. Finally just threw them out when I...

  24. How does gpa work for 2nd degree BSN

    Southern Magnolia posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all, I know this seems a bit like an odd question but I'm curious about how gpa works when you're in a BSN program and it is your 2nd undergrad degree. I received a BA in English and my gpa was...

  25. They're Their and There

    Southern Magnolia replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I'm sure I make my share of mistakes (even with a degree in English to my credit), but my personal pet peeve is incorrect capitalization. i cringe everytime i see
