  1. Will Having General Bio 1 & 2 Help?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my school bio 1 & 2 were actually pre reqs for a&p and micro, but I got them waived. I don't think it is necessary to have them, but it certainly won't hurt you. Some of the terminology and...

  2. Finally done with pre-reqs! Have some questions...

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to dalsor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that you should apply to every school you've researched and liked whether they are ADN or BSN. Since you already have a bachelors degree, it is probably better to go for the ABSN, but I'd...

  3. Earning a B in Chemistry really has me in a funk!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to longbow.shelly's topic in General Students

    I just finished taking Chemistry too and was severely disappointed that I did not receive an A. I worked SO hard, but I failed one quiz and it destroyed my average. I barely earned a B in the class...

  4. I pay for these classes and these people won't shut up

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly how you feel. When I took a&p these two girls would chat the ENTIRE time..one time a woman raised her hand and said "excuse me" to the professor, turned to the girls and lectured...

  5. Pre-req questions

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to kmenhe's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Rutgers doesn't have any pre reqs - you would apply to Rutgers and simply select College of Nursing as your choice. All pre req type classes are integrated throughout the program. I don't know much...

  6. Is Rutgers hard to get in to?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    It is VERY competitive and from what I've heard/seen/read, it is an excellent program. Right now I am a student at Rutgers (school of arts and sciences) and I'm applying to the nursing school for...

  7. Eek!!!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you feel!! I have been second guessing myself since I applied in Feb! One day I'll be completely confident like "there is NO way they can deny me!" and then the next day I'll be picking...

  8. Anyone from Jersey going through the nursing process?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Lisy108's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Jersey and I recently applied to the BSN program at Rutgers University...they don't require any entrance test so I can't help you there, but it's still a stressful experience! haha Where are...

  9. Information/Registration Session

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to nocheapones's topic in General Students

    I haven't been accepted yet, but I know how excited I will be to go to those things! My school usually has registration at the end of July and orientation at the end of August. I can't wait to hear...

  10. Do I really need a BSN?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Although it definitely depends on where you live, there is a trend now towards requiring a BSN. Many entry level jobs already require a BSN and it also opens up more doors in the future. If you have...

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Strwbrywne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the spreadsheet idea! I did the same type of layout and it really helped me remember all of the

  12. How does the transfer student thing work!? help!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to ventiicelatte's topic in General Students

    Maybe that school is different, but out of community college I was able to apply directly to a BSN program in a University as a transfer. I ended up being waitlisted and then I didn't get in, but I...

  13. How to make A&P reading less boring

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

    I agree with the high lighting - I read/highlight important points in one section at a time and then go back and take notes on that section. It breaks everything up and the repetition of info helps a...

  14. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't say that I'm in a hurry right now, but I NEED to get in this fall for scholarship reasons and to limit my student loans! haha I didn't, however, rush through pre reqs. I did take a&pII...

  15. help please! i'm studying inefficiently!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you're feeling because I feel like I do endless work, but the outcome is always good. I read from the book and take my own notes, summarizing the info from the readings, key terms, etc. I...

  16. Grading system of Nursing Ed.

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to SuperDuperSuper's topic in General Students

    I was surprised how standard the grading in my school was because I know that it's usually different. A= 89.5-100, B+=84.5-89.49, B=

  17. stationary or mobile, advice

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't come with anything other than the basic text document (like "notebook"), but they have Microsoft office for macs. I have it and it's exactly the same as the windows

  18. stationary or mobile, advice

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly don't remember because I got it last September :-X, but maybe it was no interest for 6 months? Sorry, I'm not sure haha. but I've been making payments because I want to pay it off. My bill...

  19. stationary or mobile, advice

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, it was around $1200 and the financing is great if you want to take that route. I only have to pay around $10 a month (although I usually pay ~&50) & no interest. You won't regret

  20. Have you ever had a reallly good looking professor?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My english 102 teacher was such a dreamboat and I worked so hard in that class just for him. It wasn't even that he was JUST good looking, he was so smart and charismatic and made the class enjoyable....

  21. stationary or mobile, advice

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Andrew12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went through this same dilemma! I actually wanted a desk top just because I was sick of dealing with battery issues in a laptop, but I knew I still had a lot of time left in school and I would want...

  22. Embarrassed for Having Good Grades?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely understand! I feel like it's easier to share bad grades than good grades sometimes haha but I definitely had this problem - especially in science courses. I would work my butt off to earn...

  23. What did you do when you got rejected?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was literally shaking when I got wait listed for the school I applied to because I knew that they never take anyone. So a few weeks later, I accepted a spot in the liberal arts school at the same...

  24. Anyone else in this situation?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Podol29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have a good shot even at 3.4 then! The waiting makes everything more stressful :-( thanks! I told myself when I started here that I was going to get a 4.0 because I knew the odds for the...

  25. Anyone else in this situation?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Podol29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a similar situation, but I'm a junior. I originally attended community college where I finished over 60 credits. Last year I applied to transfer to a BSN program at a university where I was...
