  1. what the heck do you wear to a Nursing School interview?

    LJR2010 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Students

    I would wear a suit. Treat it like a job

  2. calc vs a&p

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

    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...

  16. 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 don't really get it either since being an NP and a PA are very different, especially school wise. To answer your question: Yes I think it would look bad. Do not mention PA. Since you admit that...

  17. Pre-nursing student in need of advice!!!!!!

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

    First in order to choose pre reqs you need to know what they are. Look at some of the local schools in your area that you might want to attend, the pre reqs should all be listed online. Then begin...

  18. Anatomy & Physiology II

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

    You're on the right track with number one, I googled swollen lymph nodes AIDS and got an interesting article. Usually the answers to these questions are very simple, so don't over think

  19. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    LJR2010 replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    Though I do believe it is well within the school's rights to remove you from the program for missing a clinical or for a medical reason, I cannot believe they never asked for any med info before you...

  20. Quick question/advice for Florida BSN programs

    LJR2010 replied to Freekobe15's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure about all the schools you mentioned, but a 3.0 is low for some (UF, UCF, UNF) from what I know, their admitted average is closer to a 3.7. If you really want this, I would recommend...

  21. No one thinks I can do it!

    LJR2010 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People have a tendency to say some of the dumbest things. When I started talking about nursing, a lot of people were against it. I wasn't that "type," whatever that means. You are the only one who...

  22. What is the first day of an accelerated BSN program like?

    LJR2010 replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    I am also twiddling my thumbs waiting for my ABSN program to start. I'll be going from having all this free time, to being nonstop

  23. dumb gpa question...

    LJR2010 replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    If it makes you feel better why not? I have a 3.46 GPA but I always tell people 3.5. That's pretty close and it's not anyone's business anyway. When it comes to admissions, they will look at a 3.86...

  24. A&P I ......3x!?!?!?

    LJR2010 replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I applied to stated clearly on their website that it looks at the best attempt of whatever transfers. Therefore, yes you could take it a third time. Some schools admit solely based on who...

  25. A & P II or Microbiology this summer??

    LJR2010 replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    I'm going to say take Micro. You could possibly do fine either way, but micro is the safer bet. A&P is a lot of straight memorization, and that would be really overwhelming if you were taking both...
