  1. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    klp2006 replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    You can't obstruct care but you would not be under an obligation to partake if you have a religious objection. Preferably, this should be a very rare occurance. Where this may come in to play is in a...

  2. How far away is your school?

    klp2006 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was recently accepted into my first choice school and it's 75 minutes away, on a good no-traffic day. My city is very large so I haven't thought too much about it, but it seems to always shock...

  3. Agggh, practical exams. How to do better?

    klp2006 replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the opposite problem. I don't have a lecture (it' a hybrid course where the lecture is online) and we are doing an 8-wk version. I struggle on lecture exams but usually score a 100 on the...

  4. My teacher said I should take the MCAT. What???

    klp2006 replied to rslarsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a future classmate of yours, who is 34, I say first and foremost, take it as a complement! After that, it all depends on what your end game is. I have no doubt that any of us who got into our...

  5. My mom is an RN and advises me not to become one

    klp2006 replied to Jen385's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was been a lot of good perspectives so I'm going to be short and sweet. In HS I KNEW I wanted to be a nurse. I was unprepared for the BSN intensity and burned out and pursued business instead. I...

  6. Retook classes and still got into a BSN program?

    klp2006 replied to kimandthekinks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The most annoying thing about going into nursing school, for me, is that every single program in the country has different requirements. I live in a large, medically renown, city and have around 15+...

  7. How far away is your school?

    klp2006 replied to klp2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW! Glad you made it safely! My school is in a fairly "ritzy" part of town so even the sketch motels are over $100/night. There is one hospital I may have clinicals at that is about an additional 20...

  8. Fall 2018 Lone Star Hopefuls

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone taken Microbiology with Ms Tiffany Martin at LSC-CF? Any thoughts on her course? It looks like she offers a choice of textbooks, is there a "best" choice or are they even truly

  9. Fall 2018 Lone Star Hopefuls

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    WOW! I am so sorry that your professor did that! Did you catch it right away and have to fight for it? I can't even imagine! Especially since I finished A&P I about 1 week before the deadline! I...

  10. What to study or know before nursing school?

    klp2006 replied to Broadstreetbully24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so happy to read this. I start my nursing program in August and have been doing all my pre-reqs as mini-semesters. It's been intense and I'm taking Microbiology and then Pharmacology...

  11. ThE WAIT For Acceptance IS TORTURE!!!!

    klp2006 replied to Tmacky2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Applications opened in January and we found out first week of April. For some people it was crazy long! I finished my pre-reqs the week before the end of the application period so I only had a few...

  12. Acing anatomy- what makes muscles so hard?

    klp2006 replied to Socal_amt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By now you should have begun to figure out how you will be tested on the material, how best to prepare for your professors style of examination, and how you best prepare, yourself. There is only so...

  13. ThE WAIT For Acceptance IS TORTURE!!!!

    klp2006 replied to Tmacky2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ABSOLUTELY! Which schools did you apply to? Lone Star just sent out their letters. Luckily, there was a great thread that many of us applicants created here for our school which helped as we all...

  14. Fall 2018 Lone Star Hopefuls

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    There is only one other person from here I've connected with that is going to Montgomery. Does anyone know if this issue with CB is just at CF or are any other campuses affected? I planned on starting...

  15. How long should prereqs take?

    klp2006 replied to taurnxkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my schools website: ""Evidence of minimum math proficiency is required prior to application to the program. A student must have either: completed MATH 0309 or MATH 0310 with a minimum grade of...

  16. How long should prereqs take?

    klp2006 replied to taurnxkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did mine in an only 8-wk mini-semester as I only needed to do two. What pre-reqs are

  17. Nursing, engineering or comm degree?

    klp2006 replied to Breegall93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The level of Math and Science courses for Industrial Engineering is far more intense and rigorous than that of nursing. I left nursing school in 2004 after getting academically burned out and got a...

  18. Is the Elsevier Review Guide enough to pass the Hesi Exam? UTHSC Houston

    klp2006 replied to vickitoria19's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    To answer this question completely, I would say it depends on where you stand with the material before studying. I used the HESI pocket prep app and the Elsevier review book and barely studied. I...

  19. Just Took the HESI A2! Advice:

    klp2006 replied to mizjennjenn's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    You can actually rent this book on Amazon. The A&P Section is indeed amazing for review, just know that every single sentence is a possible question. If I had to take it again (I don't :) I would...

  20. Fall 2018 Lone Star Hopefuls

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    I can only speak for Lone Star Montgomery, but I was handed a tiny, basic, calculator by the staff that I had for the entire test. I had a lot of fill in the blank ratio and fraction questions and...

  21. A&P 1

    klp2006 replied to Dfox1027's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did A&P I in 8-weeks while doing ENGL 1301 in a simultaneous 8-week semester and working 30 hrs/wk. I got A's in both. It can def. be done. You can't be partially committed though. You have to...

  22. Christian nursing schools' curriculum very religious, or no?

    klp2006 replied to babychickens's topic in General Students

    I went to a very Catholic University. I did 2.5 yrs of the BSN and then dropped it for a Business Degree. Catholic and Christian colleges vary, greatly. Some are Faith based by name only. Some are...

  23. Can I even get in

    klp2006 replied to hargar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I should add that I decided to to nursing over Christmas... It took me 8-wks to refresh and raise the grade on my pre-req's. If I wanted UT Health it would take me much longer. Being older I...

  24. Can I even get in

    klp2006 replied to hargar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I almost had to check and make sure I didn't post this. I was just accepted into Lone Star's ADN and have a business degree. My first university experience was vastly different. At 19 I was not a good...

  25. Should I retake Anatomy 1 if I made a C?

    klp2006 replied to paloma92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would speak with your nursing advisor and find out if a C will be competitive enough for entry into the program. In most programs, it will not be. In my program you must have a 2.75 to be able to...
