    strawberryluv replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gosh, I wish I was feeling how you were feeling at the moment. I have a year and a semester to go before I get into the nursing courses. I have to compete with 90+ people for 50 spots on the "roller...

    Is my spring class schedule too much!

    strawberryluv replied to pope6974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks like your taking about 12 or 13 credits which is a full-time load. I am taking the same amount of credits and I've got to say, I think 12/13 credits is too manageable on the account that I...

    Confused sophomore.. decision to become a nurse.

    strawberryluv replied to undecided16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    strawberryluv replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My university doesn't have a minimum GPA. All the students came from high school and they just selected us then and there. I think half of our nursing class is in the Honor's College while the other...

    Slacked off my first semester, bad GPA... Suggestions to do well in nursing school?

    strawberryluv replied to bsn_bound13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    strawberryluv replied to nursevai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How committed are you to nursing school? Are you sure you can keep up the hardship that is nursing school? Nursing school is rigorous and its not for those that are not dedicated and willing to break...

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

    Should I retake the course?

    strawberryluv replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wait it out girl, you got a good grade. Does your professor consider participation grade? Because my chemistry teacher does. I think that just work hard on the final and you should do

    How do you deal with the stress?

    strawberryluv replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    JonB04 - I took sociology this summer as a pre-requisite to my program and I think it is really easy. Grant it, I took it at a community college which may have contributed to the "easiness."...
