    tokyoROSE replied to sweetiepeas's topic in General Students

    We call all of our professors by their first names here. It is very laid

    Vaccines and nursing school

    tokyoROSE replied to cute2's topic in General Students

    My mom keeps my vaccine records so that wasn't a problem. Our school required us to get a bunch of titers on top of that. Apparently I got my Hep B rounds completed when I was little too. So besides...

    Flu shots

    tokyoROSE replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    Those requirements are up to the clinical site. At ours, it required the seasonal flu shot but if you refuse that, you can wear a mask instead. No one opted for the mask though, because can you...

    Getting into nursing school

    tokyoROSE replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Students

    Yes generally nursing schools are hard to get in no matter where you go. If you want to know specifically, email the nursing dept of those schools and ask. I had a cumulative 3.9 GPA when I entered...

    Can I survive NS without previous health care experience???

    tokyoROSE replied to AniraP's topic in General Students

    Many people in my class do not have previous health care experience and we are doing fine. I went to college straight out of high school so I had no time to get experience. Our program does not take...

    Where is the caring and advocacy for ME when I really need it????

    tokyoROSE replied to LoveActually's topic in General Nursing

    I find it funny that people think drug seekers would ask for only a couple of Xanax. A couple of Xanax is hardly anything. That is so not drug-seeking behavior; it's more like them asking for 60 or...

    Working while in Nursing School

    tokyoROSE replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    It is definitely do-able. I work around 30 hours a week and have kept my grades up. I could probably do full time and do the same if needed. I feel for you and many other nursing students who have to...

    Can I get licensed with a misdemeanor of shoplifting?

    tokyoROSE replied to angelawalker87's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Really? I find that a bit scary that someon can expunge a FELONY charge on their record! For my nursing school, any one who is a convicted felon is automatically disqualified. Anyway in my state a...

    Dropping out of nursing

    tokyoROSE replied to Shadai's topic in General Students

    I totally agree with all the ladies in this thread. Focus on yourself. Men come and go, but a degree is forever! Use him for all hes worth and then deal with the at-home situation once you're done...

    What kind of stethoscope?

    tokyoROSE replied to Tabitha247's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For nursing students, my teachers just tell us to get the "cheap" ones. I also found this review to be very helpful in deciding what to get:...

    How common is it for schools to require the TEAS?

    tokyoROSE replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school did not require it. Our admission is very simple. GPA of four classes and a C or higher on the rest of the

    How does the rest of your grades look? If you've only got this one B in A&P you should be

    Want to Nurse-Questions about schools and financial aid

    tokyoROSE replied to new2field's topic in General Students

    Community college will save you a ton of money. If you're not sure if you'd like to be a nurse or a PA, start with general classes like math, biology (A&P), chemistry, etc. The crucial part for...

    89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    tokyoROSE replied to superramvette's topic in General Students

    Wow I was exactly 2 points away from an A too! I was a bit tired then (probably did 4 tests in 3 days) so I didn't have time to fret too much. It sucks for sure but what can you do? I just tell...

    Survived First Term... of BSN Nursing Program.

    tokyoROSE replied to Teebee5's topic in General Students

    Congrats, I just did the same. Nursing school isn't that bad as people make it out to be. My grades are still on par with pre-req

    What gpa do i need to get into uf nursing?

    tokyoROSE replied to undecidedmajor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't need to do a "gpa map" to make things difficult, just get the best grades you can. That 2.75 is going to hurt but with hard work, a 3.3 is very much do-able. I would aim for a 3.5 to be...

    What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    tokyoROSE replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    No drug tests. But I hope they never do a hair test -- my friend had one done at her job and they literally cut a big chunk out! She was not a happy

    tokyoROSE replied to nursingstudent714's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh goodness don't feel insecure! You should be excited to start this new phase in your life. As a young student myself, yes I thought about how my classmates are much older and much more experienced...

    Looking for Textbooks used or cheaper price

    tokyoROSE replied to love-nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is a bit off topic but people always tell me to keep nursing text books for future references. But I paid over $400 (some used, some new) for them! Not worth it for me. So I came up with the idea...

    Has anyone here gotten into nursing school with a 'B' in Anatomy?

    tokyoROSE replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a B+ in A&P I and I know others in my program who have gotten B's. Our program is very competitive and all students basically have 3.5's or higher so its possible. That B+ was the only non-A...

    tokyoROSE replied to kahlan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your English seems fine to me. English is my second language too but I came here when I was young, so I can remember what you're going through. As for chem/bio in one semester, I wouldn't recommend...

    Opinions - Venting! Nervous!

    tokyoROSE replied to 13905 BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An interview with the dean of nursing (or whoever that handles that) wouldn't hurt. Like other posters, I stress that you do well in A&P, micro, patho, and other important nursing pre-reqs. All...

    tokyoROSE replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sound just like me when I applied. I was and still am a little obsessed with grades. I had all A's and one B+ (our university uses the +/- and its quite serious). When I was reading your post I...

    Gain or Lose Weight?

    tokyoROSE replied to gams77's topic in General Students

    I've steadily gained some weight as I'm growing older, but I don't think nursing school is a factor in it. I just hate not being able to work out. Between classes, studying and 25 hrs/week working, my...
