  1. Day v. Night Classes....

    Saysfaa replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to avoid night classes for the same reason you don't like them; I even deliberately restricted myself to classes that met as often as possible. I don't anymore. I discovered my problem with...

  2. Where is the nursing shortage?

    Saysfaa replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Think of all the places you don't want to go." Not necessarily. Many the places with the least nursing shortages have been very, very low on my list of places I would want to live and a lot of the...

  3. Where is the nursing shortage?

    Saysfaa replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Valley - southernmost Texas: Brownsville, Harlingen,

  6. Should I stay with my parents or move closer to the campus?

    Saysfaa replied to Sabreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is probably unrealistic to expect your family to be quiet, especially as quiet doesn't seem to be a baseline for your parents. However, there are likely to be other solutions to that too,...

  7. Should I stay with my parents or move closer to the campus?

    Saysfaa replied to Sabreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the driving at night and/or when tired is a valid concern. However, an apartment is not the only solution especially when you don't yet know how often that happen. I've made many hour long...

  8. Should I finish my pre reqs or go to a university?

    Saysfaa replied to Ms.Frank's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It make SO MUCH more sense to do as much at your instate community college that it is worth investigating whether the particular university you want to go to accepts the credits you want to transfer....

  9. Information about nursing school

    Saysfaa replied to bucolicdulcet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask your advisor about what information your school has for new students, specifically information for the "first in my family to go to college" information (even if you aren't). They might...

  10. Brown Mackie

    Saysfaa replied to Boomersooner9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They have an utterly horrible reputation around here from their students and from employers. I don't know if that is true in all of their locations. Are clinical hours included in those three...

  11. How to study for "Three Tests"

    Saysfaa replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply the 80/20. You get 80% of the benefit from 20% of the effort. I would put gauge how much effort I needed to put into each test to get an acceptable grade, then put 80% of that effort...

  13. Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

    Saysfaa replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't intend to be "embarrased" ... it was supposed to be a simple

  15. Can you go to a nursing school that's not from the university.

    Saysfaa replied to Ryokufan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what you are asking. If you mean can you graduate one university but take the program of another... no. Well, yes, technically. One can graduate from Harvard and take the nursing...

  16. Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

    Saysfaa replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see. I second the previous person who said to ask about other places in the school district or county that might have such records. It is unlikely the high school itself has them but the...

  17. Midlife students, did your high school every lose your transcripts?

    Saysfaa replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure you need high school transcripts? It is common to not need them once you have a certain number of credits (less than is needed for an associates

  18. Study dilemma

    Saysfaa replied to Zelda21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check the first section (before the index, certainly, it may be before or after the preface) of most any recent textbook - preferably several of them. They lay out the basics of how to study, most of...

  19. graduate loan forgiveness programs

    Saysfaa replied to emt-b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There used to be a lot of them before the economy tanked and so many inactive or part time nurses went back to work (or to full time). Now... not so much if at

  20. Do most nursing schools use the A+/A- gpa weighting scale?

    Saysfaa replied to gentlerain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the schools I go to ignores the +s and -s, every A+, A and A- is a 4.0 and every B, B+ and B- is a 3.0 regardless of what numeric value the original school gave it. Another give 4.0 to As and...

  21. Career help

    Saysfaa replied to audrey17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a good idea to be a cna first. Many people do this while they take prereq classes. Sometimes the nursing programs require it before the students starts the nursing program but people do it...

  22. Will withdrawing from a course hurt my application?

    Saysfaa replied to gentlerain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It matters but how much it matters varies tremendously from school to school and somewhat (or sometimes) from year to year at a particular school and/or for a particular person. Some schools place...

  25. Campus Safety after CT shootings

    Saysfaa replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    One more blip.... the professors at my college recently had training in what to do. Some of them shared a few things. One thing is that it is safer to run than to hide in the classrooms - unless, of...
