  1. How do you pay for school?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    I started at a community college where a scholarship covered my tuition, I worked part time to pay for books and everything else (at that time I was still living with my parents, so I didn't need much...

  2. The wait for your acceptance into nursing school

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

    Good luck! Unfortunately I haven't even started the real wait yet.. I can't apply until Feb 1st and I won't hear back until mid June because they wait for spring grades. I've been inpatient since the...

  3. I Never Thought They'd HATE Me...

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to c3p0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clearly they are just envious of you because you'll be doing something amazing with your life. I've never heard of people reacting like that.. mostly just "I know I wouldn't be able to do it, it...

  4. Can you graduate summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude from a college if you

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

    The credit for the classes transfer, but not the grade. Your new gpa reflects the coursework you're completing at the new school. I believe it's only true if you have completed over 60 credits at a...

  5. Can you graduate summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude from a college if you

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

    I was wondering the same thing because I just transferred to a new school. I didn't do horribly at my old school, but I was happy to know that my GPA would "start over" based on the work I completed...

  6. How do I read a nursing textbook?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to SockMonkey.ecb's topic in General Students

    My trick has always been to read one section and highlight important terms and concepts that I could imagine as test questions. Then, I would write notes on what I highlighted before moving onto the...

  7. Best way to take notes and study

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to kbm318's topic in General Students

    I agree about power point slides - many of my teachers post them online and I always have them printed and I take side notes right on them (I usually print 3 or 6 per page) and it's really helpful to...

  8. Education plan?

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

    I assume your program doesn't have "pre reqs" and mine doesn't either - it's direct entry and you take everything together. The example curriculum my school gives is: Fall SemesterCredits...

  9. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

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

    I just happened to take Chemistry before I took Micro, but I don't recall it helping much. Other than some lab procedures, I don't think I used anything from Chemistry...they are two different...

  10. "Blocked" from Nursing Program Help

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Fundamentals(1986)'s topic in General Students

    I know it's really your responsibility, but I'm actually surprised that they didn't remind you before you went in. At the test center at my old school they would announce the rules over and over while...

  11. New to this and need help, please...

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Ryker2007's topic in General Students

    Time will be the main concern, if you won't have TONS of time to devote to the classes, I wouldn't recommend it. Wouldn't want to hurt that great gpa! Last fall I took a&p II, Micro, Medical...

  12. "Blocked" from Nursing Program Help

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Fundamentals(1986)'s topic in General Students

    I agree that the stored info would be the issue, but just explain the mistake and hopefully they can see that it WAS just a mistake. I'm sure it will help that you spoke to your teacher right after it...

  13. What classes should i take?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Michelle_H's topic in General Students

    I agree that you should check with the schools you plan to apply to so that you don't waste anytime taking classes that won't transfer. All schools should have lists of pre reqs or recommended classes...

  14. Is A&P really the hardest of them all?

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to shye22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'd say that a&p was harder just because of the amount of information...it's just endless! Having the time to study was probably the most important factor for those classes. The good thing...

  15. Funny - Annoying Incident in Algebra this Evening

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

    I do think it's sad when people get like that before even starting the hardcore classes...it does make you wonder if they'll even make it that far. What's painful at my school is that I'm not in the...

  16. GPA requirements for nursing school

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to trish79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a meeting with mine to discuss how my credits would transfer and everything and they just mentioned the information, but I'm sure you could ask what a competitive gpa would be. I also heard it...

  17. GPA requirements for nursing school

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to trish79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most have a 3.0 minimum from what I've seen, but over that is definitely ideal. I applied to a BSN program last year with a 3.26 and didn't get accepted. I transferred to the school anyway and I'm...

  18. Happy, Nervous and Burnt out

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

    I had the same problem with a scholarship, I always needed to have at least 12 credits so I had to take A&P II, Micro, plus two other classes in order to pay for school on semester. I was...

  19. i'm VERY ANXIOUS about my letter

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to ese1212's topic in General Nursing

    With a GPA like that it would be really sad if they didn't let you in! Especially since you've completed all of the pre reqs! I honestly think you have a great chance and I can't wait to hear the good...

  20. Interview for nursing program

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to acantrell77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The BSN program I'm applying to has an interview too and I was wondering what kind of things they might be asking as well! I had a meeting with them to see how my classes would transfer and what...

  21. Mico bio or A&P

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both are pretty important, but I think it would be better to take a&p if you had to

  22. Mico bio or A&P

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So your school doesn't require microbiology AND a&p? Or is this just about scheduling, like you'd take the first set one semester and the next set the following semester? That's just

  23. Rutgers BSN

    thatsthekeyRNC posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone! I'm currently a student at Rutgers New Brunswick (School of Arts and Sciences) and I'm hoping to transfer into the BSN program here next fall. I attended community college before coming...

  24. ADN or BSN??

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to Sings&Shoots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that an RN is an RN, but why do some places want ADNs over

  25. Faculty evaluations

    thatsthekeyRNC replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    They usually don't receive the actual forms, they are reviewed by the department, summarized/typed up and then shown to the teacher, so I wouldn't worry about
