   Calculus for

3. About to start NS...but unhappy with my school

   LJR2010 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Even a very straight forward and easy subject can be made very difficult by a bad teacher. Only the anatomy portion is strict memorization. I had a great instructor who made learning the physiology...

4. rn to pa

   LJR2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   No, I was referring to the post that said you don't need years of health professional experience. From what I've seen, you need a minimum of one year of full time work hands on with patients. Since we...

5. About to start NS...but unhappy with my school

   LJR2010 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I guess I would be annoyed too. I would think its my decision to drop a course, I am capable of deciding what's in my own best interest. It can be very irritating when a college tries to take on the...

6. Interracial marriage and physiology..this is for a paper

   LJR2010 replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

   I also would assume that your Prof wanted you to write about recessive genes. It's kind of like how they say when you are adopting a dog that a mutt will usually be much healthier than a pure

7. rn to pa

   LJR2010 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   It does depend on the school, you can always find a school somewhere in the country with lighter admissions requirements. Here in Florida, PA schools require at least one year of full time work with...

8. Accelerated BSN or 2nd degree

   LJR2010 replied to Michael CNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   The ABSN program I am in is really not that much more accelerated than its generic counterpart. The only difference is that we don't take the summer off and therefore graduate a semester ahead. Some...

9. States that offer free nursing education in exchange for working with them

   LJR2010 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

   You ultimately need to make your own decision. Your parents may not quite understand the situation, mine were pretty anti student loan too. Student loans get a bad rap because a lot of people take out...

10. States that offer free nursing education in exchange for working with them

    LJR2010 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    I don't see whats so bad about taking out a loan. If you get a job as an RN, then a $4000 loan will not be that big of a deal. You've taken scholarships and grants as far as you can, now you have a...

11. Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN w/ No Prior Nursing Educational Background

    LJR2010 replied to smarino27's topic in General Students

    I searched for Hunter College to find their admissions info. Their prereqs are pretty standard, except for organic chem, I've never seen that one listed before. I say it would take you two semesters...

12. Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

    LJR2010 replied to albacl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely go in and ask to look at your exam. The grader could have made a mistake and accidentally marked something wrong, it happens. I know professors hate it when students go in and argue...

13. How to beat the freshman 15!

    LJR2010 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely recommend the food journal, it has completely changed how I eat. I do have to say that 1200 calories per day is WAY too low. You will have problems functioning, both mentally and...

14. Would writing on a college app. that I want to become a PA (someday) look bad?

    LJR2010 replied to wih02906's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it's not as unusual as I had thought. After much internet searching, I still don't get the difference between a PA and an NP. This is all I know: PA's practice medicine and work directly under...

15. Pre req. english class

    LJR2010 replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try it. But keep in mind that this is definitely dishonest. We can sit here and debate the meaning of plagiarism, but professors don't like it when you coast through their courses without...
