  1. One more week before I sign over my life!

    ambitiousBSN replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I was really excited... and then I received my Health Assessment syllabus full of presentations and assessments- and no exams listed. Then, I received my Healthy Aging syllabus...

  2. Staying in Shape

    ambitiousBSN replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I need to get myself back on a strict routine. When I was actually on track, I would do cardio, strength, and yoga- mainly TurboFire, a bit of ChaLEAN Extreme (yea, I'm a Chalene Johnson junkie), and...

  3. Erin Condren Life Planner

    ambitiousBSN replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    I have one! :-) This is my third year using one and it seriously saves my life, pun intended. I think my favorite thing this year is that they put the "goals and to-do" on each weekly spread (which is...

  4. Would you miss the first day of class?

    ambitiousBSN replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    I think it be a lot different if it were your first day of the actual program- does that make sense? If it's a job at a really good hospital, like the type you'd do anything to get your foot into,...

  5. Shout out to all you nursing students!

    ambitiousBSN replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    Aw, thank you so much! I feel incredibly blessed and empowered as a woman because I attend a Women's College. :-) I begin my BSN program on August 28, so I'm officially under two weeks. I'm so excited...

  6. Considering a non - accredited school

    ambitiousBSN replied to Trust in Jesus's topic in General Students

    My BSN program has initial approval with the Maryland Board of Nursing. I am among the inaugural class for their entry-level BSN; however, the university has an RN-BSN program as well as an MSN...

  7. Where to take online prereqs?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Buddy2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with local community colleges! :-) Sometimes Biology lectures are offered online and then you go to the campus for the lab portion. I'm not sure how common it is for them to be offered online,...

  8. The Dreaded Wait.

    ambitiousBSN replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do anything and everything to keep yourself busy! The wait is

  9. Good "non-prerequisites" classes to take before nursing school?

    ambitiousBSN replied to tczapp88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take Medical Terminology while completing my pre-requisites, but I have a good knowledge base from when I completed my Medical Assisting program. It definitely helps having a good grasp on...

  10. When to wear what. (Scrubs, lab coats, etc.)

    ambitiousBSN replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    My program is like the PP: Clinical: Scrubs Lab: Lab coat (but in professional attire- obviously no sweatpants, ha.) Class: Street

  11. Preparing for 1st semester...

    ambitiousBSN replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    I start my BSN program on August 28. We were assigned nine chapters to read for Fundamentals as well as a "semester read" that will be discussed in each class. I've completed all of my requirements...

  12. Intrested in nursing...questions on degrees, waitlist, etc.

    ambitiousBSN replied to maddymaeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're right- you take your pre-requisites first and then you apply. But if you know a college definitely has a wait list right out of the gate, you should always look into other programs. I don't...

  13. When do your fall classes start?

    ambitiousBSN replied to destrier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start nursing school (at the same school as Zoe) on August 28.

  14. Night shift!

    ambitiousBSN replied to megan9107's topic in General Students

    Glad I'm not the only one who has (and still uses) towels and/or blankets thrown over my

  15. Intrested in nursing...questions on degrees, waitlist, etc.

    ambitiousBSN replied to maddymaeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A BSN doesn't mean you have to pursue management. ADN is a good starting point! There is absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing ADN because it still leads you to eligibility to take NCLEX which is...

  16. Night shift!

    ambitiousBSN replied to megan9107's topic in General Students

    I agree with a PP- coffee, coffee, and more coffee. And as the post above mine says, blackout curtains are a great idea, and keeping your cell phone on silent (or turning off the volume on your house...

  17. Minor in Psychology helps?

    ambitiousBSN replied to halfglassfull's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been told that directly; however, I am hoping to finish a minor in Psychology along with my BS in Nursing. I have at the most 4 more Psychology courses to complete, so I hope that I can...

  18. Fall Classes 2013

    ambitiousBSN replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was thinking the same! :-) I'm going to try my hardest to still check AN during my first semester because these forums really help! Especially when others post tips and such pre-nursing and nursing...

  19. Anyone else bad at math?

    ambitiousBSN replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm horrible at Math- specifically Algebra and the like. I think a lot of my negativity stems from the bad experiences I had during high school, which carried into my college work. When it comes to...

  20. Heads up to all new nursing students:

    ambitiousBSN replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for this post! I am beginning my first semester later this month and while I've been a huge mixture of emotions, I'm going in with a fresh, open mind because that's the best way to approach...

  21. Nursing School Making Me A Hypochondriac!

    ambitiousBSN replied to NICUnurse21's topic in General Students

    I've had this happen a few times during my pre-requisite courses, especially Genetics! I can only imagine it is bound to get a little more crazy as I embark on my nursing school journey later this...

  22. Just wondering something.. Application

    ambitiousBSN replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Neither were required (or recommended) by my program, but I still submitted two recommendation letters from two physicians who work at my hospital that I worked with for 6 years- one of which is...

  23. The waiting game

    ambitiousBSN replied to katrinabarnes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations for finishing your pre-requisites! :) I tell you, the waiting game is the hardest! I applied to my program last December, and luckily I only had to wait a month to receive my letter,...

  24. Clerical Assistant - Wasting time?

    ambitiousBSN replied to halfglassfull's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This! :-) I work night shift in a non-clinical position even though I do have experience as a Medical Assistant. We are not utilized at night, so I cannot do any clinical work in my hospital. I agree...

  25. Bad reviews vs NO reviews (ratemyprofessor)

    ambitiousBSN replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be honest, though, you can't always take RMP seriously. I've read bad reviews about professors I've turned out to absolutely love/enjoy. One being my Genetics professor last fall- he had a few...
