  1. nursing interview questions

    wannabe an rn replied to NurseNatalie2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're asked why you want to be a nurse, I would AVOID giving the trite answer of "because I want to help people". Even if that's exactly how you feel, you have to find another way to express it,...

    wannabe an rn replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Withdrawal....?

    wannabe an rn replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are talking about "W"s in prereq's, right? I live in the Bay Area and I don't know of any school that doesn't look at withdraws in the

  5. omg I'm really worried now

    wannabe an rn replied to supaflyz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I think they do look much more at your prereq GPA. what is your overall GPA? You can find that on your college

  6. omg I'm really worried now

    wannabe an rn replied to supaflyz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Overall GPA means all the classes you have taken, not just prerequisites. Typically, nursing programs look at both your prerequisite GPA and your overall

    I agree. Youtube videos are great. I'm a visual learner, so seeing a video of how the cardiovascular system works is a much better learning tool for

  8. I AM SOOOO Scared!!!

    wannabe an rn replied to myoahall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a dry erase board and it's been very helpful. I write out concepts, formulas and work math problems. I also explain it out loud as I'm working on it. Having the board set up where I can...

  9. Withdrawal....?

    wannabe an rn replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're talking about prerequisites, withdraws DO count. Every program I know of makes it clear that they look at "W"s, and that is used in evaluating

    chanarivka, you said your peace in a previous post, in a thread that is intended to be supportive. speaking for myself only, i don't need you to "enlighten" me, or open my eyes, or give me a reality...

  13. Any other pre-nursing students over 45?

    wannabe an rn replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm from CA! I had considered doing the LVN, and then LVN to RN, but was told by nursing program admins that LVN's were essentially being phased out and there would be very few spots available for an...

  14. Need advice on Nursing as 2nd career for husband & wife

    wannabe an rn replied to needingchange77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't base your decision on the current economic climate. You have three years before you'll be an RN, and I suspect by that time we will be able to reap the job opportunities of a recovering (or...

    wannabe an rn replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If someone comments that they can't picture me being a nurse, I'd say "then prepare to be AMAZED". Remember, the people who make these comments will probably be using you as an advice nurse once...

  21. DUI.... Any chance at being a RN?

    wannabe an rn replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
