  1. ABSN College credits versus Community College credits

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

    If you do go the CC route, I wouldn't slack off in class. The last 90 pretty much means the last 90. The school you are applying to wants to see where you are as a student now, if you show them that...

    Student4_life replied to motheringheart's topic in General Students

  3. Tell Me About Your Study Space.

    Student4_life replied to pookapooka's topic in General Students

    My wife is in Medical school and I am in Nursing school, so our "newly-wed pad" has a small den in the exact center (very quiet) that we have dedicated as our study. 2 giant white boards on the wall,...

  4. How many use a car for class/clinicals?

    Student4_life replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Bike to class, drive to clinicals. We are in suburban DC area, but some clinicals are in the country side, others in the heart of DC just out of range of metro and still other sites are in cities that...

  5. Does anyone know anything about Virginia College's ADN Peogram?

    Student4_life replied to Everlasting904's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know anything about VC, but I urge you to be wary about any school that only transfers credits to UofP. That alone makes me thing VC is a for-profit school, and given the market (both lack of...

  6. Educating new nurses

    Student4_life replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses will need to take 10 cents on the dollar while in residency like Doctors do. But no-one wants to get paid 2.50 an

    Student4_life replied to smokeybear's topic in General Students

  8. Microbiology... prof has horrible rating on RMP

    Student4_life replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RMP is like using wikipedia, it has unverified information. I didn't know about it until my last semester when my Human growth and Dev professor started talking about his ratings, so I looked him and...

  9. Any easy RN-BSN online program in the U.S.?

    Student4_life replied to hnt1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Chamberlain and UofP both have RN-BSN programs, so I am sure thats as easy as it gets, of course the value of that paper might never justify the

  10. Hard to plan summer when our school still hasn't sent acceptances!

    Student4_life replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of us that take the TEAS have to take it before we even apply. Why dont you just go ahead and take it now? ati's website will tell you where testing centers are in your area (its also where you...

  11. Straight B student?

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

    Schools have minimums for a reason. I dont care what the Average is, if you are above the min you will get looked at. Now since you are a B student (which is still very good) you need to bolster your...

  12. Nursing school suggestions for people with a low GPA

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

    Even if you had a 4.0 you would have a heck of a time finding a school that is taking applications for Fall 2011, it's just too late in the cycle. Take this as a good thing and retake some classes...

  13. Done with pre-reqs!!!

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

    You nailed it on the head, high GPA's are great, but they take a back seat to getting that acceptance

  14. Done with pre-reqs!!!

    Student4_life posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two years and 60 hours later my pre-req journey is complete, and with a bit of luck I should round out this semester with a 4.0 pre-req/overall college career GPA. Even if I dont keep my GPA at 4.0, I...

  15. What are my chances?

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

    Your college GPA follows you, but each IHL will have it's own GPA. It's kinda confusing. School A: 30 Credits taken, 2.0 GPA School B: 30 Credits taken, 4.0 GPA GPA for Nursing School Enterance: 3.0...

  19. Does it matter: Community College or University

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

    Like it or not the general perception is BSN>ADN. There are regional exceptions where a hospital may hate the for-profit grads getting pumped out of 4 year programs, and like the CC students, but...

  20. Just saying

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

    Community Colleges lose money (well I guess it is really the county and state that lose the money) by having you as a student. However that same state stands to make money off your increased earning...

  23. Do I have a better chance getting into nursing school by applying to 10 schools?

    Student4_life replied to AspiringRNofLove's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't really improve your chances that much, but since each school has a slightly different way of picking their top applicants you should see which of these schools' policies puts you in the...

  24. Application Essay critique...

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

    It's written very well. although I don't like cliche stories that answer the why do you want to be a nurse question, this essay prompts that response and you responded very well. The essay progresses...
