  1. Can you do nursing school with severe fatigue and without a car?

    Student4_life replied to raefactor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure you have been through alot in your life. But you are not the only one who has had hard times. The other Nurse hopefuls here are not trying to tell you what you can and cant do but I don't...

  2. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    Student4_life replied to Katwallace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It only take two years of pre reqs for a bsn, so unless you need some remedial courses it should be 2 or less years @ full

  3. Should I pursue nursing?

    Student4_life replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Either way you will be 28. Go for nursing, and if you don't like it, finish the pre reqs for medical school and apply to

  4. Letters of recommendation?

    Student4_life replied to Nurse.Wannabe's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You might want to check on of you can apply without taking at least half of the 4 sciences. I had a friend that was applying to umb but had to delay a semester because she had only done chem. As far...

  5. Need opinion!

    Student4_life replied to Studylots34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on what your school uses to make the cut, and when schools are overloaded with applicants it makes the job alot easier to use teas scores and GPA to cut the stack down to size. Keep...

  6. Low Overall GPA

    Student4_life replied to JTX1717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Umm, seeing as you are 32 and you did poorly "back then" it is very likely that your pre reqs are too old to be used. In that case you will be given a good chance to prove your

  7. prerequisite grade question

    Student4_life replied to tamosaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your school does things in a unique manner, usually lab make up a portion of your lecture grade even though they are two seperate classes. However i would not believe that a strait average of lab and...

  8. Do I qualify for ABSN @ NYU and UMDNJ

    Student4_life replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just as important as could you get in is should you get in. NYU is the most expensive school in the nation, and although Nursing pays well there are plenty of other options out there that will have...

  9. Earn as you learn programs?

    Student4_life replied to kylethornhill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The VA does offer a work-study program. But is there any reason you are stuck on going to Nor Cal? The nursing programs in Ca are waitlisted like crazy, not that it is much better here on the east...

  10. Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

    Student4_life replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am hypercompetitive, I want to be the top student in every class I take, but I refuse to achieve my goals at the expense of others. I prefer taking time to help other students get the grades they...

  11. UAA BSN/ADN vs Charter College?

    Student4_life replied to Kaligirl02's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Ashlie, thats one heck of a move, but you might have better luck posting in the Alaska Forum. You can find it via the regions tab at the top of this

  12. ADN vs BSN Dilema

    Student4_life replied to Eight-31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    but it is not for certain that you will get into the ADN. Get the loans, finish school, get to work and the saved time will pay for the loans in no time. Look at this way, if you dont get into the ADN...

  15. Former RN student needs advice

    Student4_life replied to Jeweled's topic in Maryland Nursing

    So you are not going to get into programs here in MD with a 3.0 GPA, its just too competitive. Not sure what part of MD you are in, but here in Montgomery County its pretty hard to get into the MC...

  16. A little help, how competitive are.....

    Student4_life replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Schools in Maryland are hypercompetitive. I am only aware of two schools in the DC area that offer BSN as a first degree. One of those is CUA and it will take you 3 years in addition to your prereqs,...

  17. Now that 32 million more people will be insured............??

    Student4_life replied to Emile's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Less ER visits? Are you mad? As in crazy, not angry. Nearly 80 percent of the non-life threatening ER visits are by the insured from not wanting to wait to see a doctor, now lets assume that 66% of...

  18. How many times does UMD SON allow you to take the TEAS

    Student4_life posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ok so I checked their website, but they only remark that applicants have to take it. I want to give the TEAS a test run after spring break to see how it is and if I do well enough leave it at that....

  19. Military getting out to go to Nursing School.

    Student4_life replied to Asherahh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am doing the route you plan on doing My advice: Start saving as much money as you can, the VA is just like dfas, its slow as heck. I had a years worth of income saved up when I got out, you don't...

  20. I just got a 59% on my first Anatomy Exam....

    Student4_life replied to ZeroHour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So she makes it too easy? Never understood how a teacher could be considered bad for over simplification. If you really want to do well, get netters. And if the teacher is making it too easy, stop...

  21. Nursing Scholarships??

    Student4_life replied to cllanes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well you kinda get a 2,500 dollar scholarship if you are a taxpayer now (american op credit). And I am sure you can get some loans from the federal gov't (Up to 45,000 for undergrad) and they are...

  23. ARMY veteran thinking bout Western Career College Sacramento for LVN

    Student4_life replied to andrewschultz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked up WCC, and you are going to be paying alot out of pocket if the costs are what people are saying they are. 43K for a LVN, thats crazy expensive. Do you have to go to California? Or do you...

  24. ARMY veteran thinking bout Western Career College Sacramento for LVN

    Student4_life replied to andrewschultz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dont know what the cost per credit hour is going to be at that school, but the GI Bill doesn't always cover the complete cost of school. And since cali tution is only 335.75 an hour, you are likely...

  25. What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    Student4_life replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    ugh, I hate drug tests. I thought I was done with the wiz quiz when I got out of the military. I have never done any drugs and never will, but man peeing in a cup is a pain. Hopefully what ever...
