    Southern Magnolia replied to angeladod2's topic in General Students

    One of the reasons I am going back to school to become a nurse is that I Love the science of the human body. It fascinates me. I have a degree in English and tried to teach but HATED it. Didn't get...

    Southern Magnolia replied to MCLMN765's topic in General Students

    Southern Magnolia replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

  5. Heading Back to School -- Hitting a Brick Wall

    Southern Magnolia replied to funky917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did all my prerec classes out of pocket a couple at a time and then will borrow for my BSN. Unless you have your 1st degree in biology you'll likely have prerecs to take and be careful some places...

  6. Can I get my BSN any faster?

    Southern Magnolia replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You need to look at the university websites and see what classes are required for a BSN at each school and then figure out the order they have to be taken and when you can take them. If you check the...

  7. Online Science Courses

    Southern Magnolia replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would also recommend Eastern Oregon University for online micro. It's bio 244 I think. You have a lab component (buy a kit and grow cultures). Not as cool an inperson micro lab but if you really...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Nicole74's topic in General Students

    Southern Magnolia replied to jaredsgirl's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. Is bsn over adn worth paying twice as much for?

    Southern Magnolia replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    For me BSN is faster b/c ADN has a minimum of two years sitting on a wait list. Also cheaper in the long run if I ended up not being able to get employer paid RN to BSN. With the economy the way it...

  14. How do you let a friend know a nursing position isn't what she thinks it is?

    Southern Magnolia replied to LRyder's topic in General Students

    Wow, that program is really taking advantage of people. Around here pct is CNA + a hospital in house training after. CNA costs around $1000. Pct is CNA w/ added skills but nothing like an RN. Pay...

  18. HESI A2 Admissions Exam

    Southern Magnolia replied to msg88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The test is very general also. The study guide is great for review. The subject matter in the guide covers the subject matter that was on my test. If there are topics in the guide you aren't 100%...

    Southern Magnolia replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow Run . . . I can't believe you got wait listed. Your scores & gpa were great. They must have had a number of applicants with all the prerecs complete. I've heard that they have gone pretty...
