  1. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

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

    I'm a fall 2010 hopeful! I applied to a BSN program and I'll hear back around June...such a long wait. I'll be transferring in a ton of credits which will make me about half way

  2. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so glad I found this post because I was beginning to think I was crazy! I too am putting all of my eggs in one basket. I'm a student at Rutgers University applying to the BSN program here and it...

  3. The Dreaded Wait for the Letter :(

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

    I'm feeling the same! Everyone says not to think about it, but how can you not think about it? In my case, I have all of my eggs in one basket and it's a huge risk, but I also have a great chance of...

  4. DEMAND OF NURSES

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to dark40's topic in General Students

    Many university or 4-yr colleges offer direct entry BSN programs, but they are expensive and very competitive. For example, I attend Rutgers University in New Jersey as a transfer, but had I applied...

  5. Nurses who can't spell

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to alex08's topic in General Students

    Spelling is one thing, but the grammar people use on here is frustrating. I like how comfortable this site is, but it's also professional and I wish more people would treat it that way. I don't even...

  6. Do you go out on the weekend?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to bigboy18's topic in General Students

    I usually spend my weekends relaxing, cleaning, or studying even though I find it 10x harder to study on the weekend than during the week! haha I occasionally go out on Friday or Saturday but it's...

  7. low GPA..trying to be hopeful

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

    I also messed up my freshman year, so I re took classes and took more classes to boost my gpa. I finished an associates degree in health sciences with a 3.26 and transferred to a university. At my new...

  8. cheating classmates!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my A&P lab class we had quizzes every week that were very hard and for the endocrine section we pretty much had to write all of the hormones and various things about them (didn't the endocrine...

  9. so sad, I failed.

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to labrador4122's topic in General Students

    statistics is the worst :-( I had to teach it to myself because my teacher never taught anything and I barely made it out with a B. Don't get too down on yourself now, at least you know what to work...

  10. If you had a choice between 2 year community, or a university....

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

    I was in the same situation before and I chose BSN. I started at a community college, got an associates degree in health sciences and transferred to a university. I recently applied to the BSN program...

  11. waiting list...truth or rumor

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to bell47's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I do think these things matter in some places. Obviously they can't officially state them, but I'm sure they all play a part when it comes down to people with equal "points", gpa, etc. I'd...

  12. Have you ever cheated?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I feel the same way about papers! I am so afraid of plagiarizing that I cite pretty much everything, but I've never had an issue with a paper, so I guess it's okay!

  13. Would this be considered cheating?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    it's definitely cheating and you both could be in a lot of trouble. Perhaps you could tutor her instead to help her

  14. histology helps??

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

    Definitely find identifying features of each one, and study from there. I remember stressing about slides! We had to identify them under a microscope so I would look at them, draw them, and then write...

  15. Have you ever cheated?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    There is ALWAYS a chance of getting caught. If you're cheating off of someone, there is nothing stopping them from telling on you, and yes, they always know. I will say that I've copied homework/let...

  16. A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

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

    I do believe your teacher used a wrong choice of words and if you feel that strongly about it, I'd definitely talk to the department and present the emails. At my school lab was a requirement and we...

  17. My Psychology class at the cc - Vent

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

    I'm at a university and it's like that here too. In my Chemistry class this girl constantly interrupts and is so disrespectful to the professor. She talks to her friends and then whines that she...

  18. I am taking A&P "Risk Free" at Ocean County College

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

    I did kind of the same thing, but on accident. At my community college I wasn't aware that there were two levels of a&p I & II (Fundamental A&P I/II and Human A&P I/II). My first...

  19. How long does it take for an acceptance or rejection letter to arrive?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    they should give you a decision deadline, but the amount of time depends on the school. Some only take a few weeks, but some take months. My app was due Feb 1st and I won't know until

  20. Feeling left out.....VENT!

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    I'm feeling the same way right now, but I'm not in the nursing program at my school yet (applying now for next fall). I was given special permission to take one nursing class and EVERYONE knows each...

  21. Anyone Still Waiting to Hear?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Buckeyefan47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At Rutgers University, last year the # of transfers accepted was 30 out of ~800 (I'm a transfer so I only remember the transfer stats). I have a strong app and I submitted it yesterday! Now the wait...

  22. Anyone Still Waiting to Hear?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Buckeyefan47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wasn't referring to the application deadline, they should give you a date that you'll have an answer by also (it gives some peace of mind I guess! haha) for example, my school has a notification...

  23. Anyone Still Waiting to Hear?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Buckeyefan47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school give you a decision deadline? My application becomes available tomorrow and I won't hear anything until June :-( so I haven't even begun the

  25. What Pre Req Books have helped while in Nursing school?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I wanted to keep a&p and micro for reference, but I also ended up keeping chem, nutrition, and med terminology because the bookstore wouldn't take them back! Doesn't it seem like they only take...
