Ok all, I need help! OK mb not need it but I could certainly use it! I'm about to start NS in a few weeks and I am crazy excited. Not that I've been working towards it for a while but because it's my second career/degree after my first career choice ...

decisions decisions... i need help! i need more info and wisdom from you readers so i can choose wisely: aasn or absn? i'm currently attending a community college, and i just got accepted to start their 2 yr nursing program which would give me an ass...

Hi all! Is there anyone who is a 1st semester ABSN student at UMDNJ? Or was, recently? I'd like to know what the schedule is like: what classes on which days and for which hours of the day? I'm trying to get a picture of what my schedule would be lik...

Sweeeet! thnx Miranda. These r just the nice lil shortcuts to life some parents forget to tell their boys. And at 23 this tip is a life saver! And yea, sitting down on "freshly ironed" clothes is one of the reasons I hate to iron - it gets wrinkled t...

Wow! I never knew about taking them out of the dryer and folding/hanging them immediately to prevent wrinkles. I've always had to iron them to make it look neat, but I hate ironing so I just go with the wrinkled clothes most times. That's good advice...

Has anyone ever taken a course called Statistics? It's pre-required for the nursing school I want, so I signed up for it at my community college. But its a math course. I'm not sure if I'm taking the right Statistics course. I was looking around at o...

Thanks all. I never imagined I'd need to know stats for nursing, none of the nurses i know have ever mentioned anything related to stats, even old classmates who are currently nursing students. Shouldn't be too hard I guess, I had some exposure to st...

lol me too. my current summer chem has 16/22 posters with the words "avoid him" on their comments... i'm current trying to get a different chem instructor w/ a "5" rating all around but his class sure filled up fast! i'm waiting for someone to drop h...

Yes, its posted on the website but it doesn't clarify what kind of statistics, it only said the name. This course you took was a math course?

So I'm taking AP courses at the moment and while looking for good videos on youtube to help me learn visually on how certain body systems worked, I ran into Dr. Gunther Von Hagens' anatomy lessons. I thought they were a bit helpful and interesting......

Nope, just you.... haha jk jk I'm red-green colorblind too. I've only had a few issues with it but nothing extreme so far. I used to think the green traffic lights were white....and the slight tint was just because of the dirty glass or something lo...

I would put some distance between us so I can block them out completely or more easily. If that doesn't work, definitely be upfront about it and mention it to them, explain the situation. It could be that they just don't realize what they're doing. I...

I think it's definitely possible. Aside from working hard and having good study habits, it can also depend if you get lucky and get a professor that doesn't bother with irrelevant fact and stick with the main ideas and topics. Good luck!

I love this site. I've been using it as valuable source for planning my schedule for 6 years (architecture school and then pre-nursing). The ratings need to be takin with a grain of salt b/c ppl rate inconsistently from person to person and depending...

Hi Angela, Yes, that does sound like a spot to be in. Just based on what you said, it does sound like traditional BSN is faster. It generally takes 4 years and you might be able to shorten it with summer classes (depending on wether UMSL has a strict...

hi all! my professors suggested i not put all my eggs in one basket no matter how good a student i may be because nursing school is competitive. quite frankly i agree but my other egg baskets means i'd need to wait for months doing nothing. i'm curre...

I checked out Duke, I'll certainly think about it. Their application deadline is July 1 for the starting Spring semester in 2010. This would leave me with a month and a half to complete their application, scrounge up recommendations, and study/pass G...

I have no problems relocating, I'll even go across the country if it fits me

roxychic0910, you said they pushed your application back because you were taking too many pre-reqs when you applied. How many were you taking? I'm going to apply for Fall 2009 but I have yet to finish AP2, stats, and chem this Summer. I'm worried it ...
