  1. Textbook costs at Adelphi! -- Rant/ Prepare yourself!

    Saysfaa replied to JLB1215's topic in New York Nursing

    This is very much in line with the requirements at my school. I suspect with many (most?) other nursing programs as well. One tiny piece of info that may be helpful, is you can have the bindings cut...

  2. Becoming a nurse with kids and thinking of having 1 more

    Saysfaa replied to Momoftwo708's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I managed it by chosing full time parenting when my kids were young. A few years ago, I started prereqs slowly (a class or two at a time, three once, it depended on the classes and the schedule)....

  3. If I don't get accepted directly into major...

    Saysfaa replied to Sarah96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It varies. I am required to put a major down on the paperwork and there is no "prenursing" option where I am (we are, of course, not able to put "nursing" until we have been accepted by the nursing...

  4. A & P

    Saysfaa replied to ph94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Start early work cyclically - return to the earlier stuff periodically - more often at first, then gradually less often stack the deck in your favor by getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising,...

  5. hi, i am currently a junior in high school but im looking into nursing.

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

    What others have said, except I wouldn't try the advanced classes until you've figured out how to get As in the non-AP versions of the subjects. Science tends to be more about effective study habits...

  6. Nursing Application Essay

    Saysfaa replied to IXAKMI13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see, I thought grades and essay make up one part and there were other parts. My bad. I wish you well but I don't think there is much I could do to polish a really good essay into a perfect essay in...

    Saysfaa replied to IXAKMI13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With a total score of 358/360 on that part of the application, perhaps the other parts of the application are the

  9. What to do?

    Saysfaa replied to lw34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not treat marriage so lightly.... as both of you seem to be doing in the teeny tiny blip we can see in a couple of posts. It is reasonable for a husband to be concerned about his wife's...

  10. Working 60 hrs a week while in Nursing school????

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

    Ability to study at work helps but there is more to it than study hours. Most nursing schools are very inflexible as far as timing goes - especially clinical hours. They usually don't have a choice...

  11. Obamacare

    Saysfaa replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    More likely the shortage of nurses disappeared because when the economy tanked causing many, many nurses who had not working as nurses to return to nursing and/or go from part time to full

  12. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Saysfaa replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "All employers reduce profit when they treat and pay their employers decently, obviously." This is not true, some employers have found treating and paying their employees decently attracts better...

  13. How many hrs a day did u study for A&P1

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

    Anatomy and physiology were each four credit classes, rule of thumb would be 8 hours per week per class (since they were in 16 week semesters). I probably averaged around 16 hours a week and got a...

  14. Campus Safety after CT shootings

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

    One of the newscasters interviewed a man from a company that goes into schools to teach school employees what to do if shooter comes in. His company was doing this before the incident in Conneticut....

  15. Memory don't fail me now!!!!

    Saysfaa replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you took the time to learn it solidly in the first place then yes, it comes back if it hasn't been too long since you thought about it. How solidly you needed to learn it in the first place and/or...

  16. Do you recommend I take these classes together or should I hold off?

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

    There is no one right answer to this. It depends on what else you have on your plate, how hard school is for you, how dedicated you are, and so

  17. What are the different opportunities Nursing school can bring you?

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

    Shaylah, my school requires students to become CNAs before they apply to the nursing

  18. Best Route To Nursing

    Saysfaa replied to Margaret14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It isn't an option in nursing as it is in most other fields. You will need a BSN before applying to a masters program. You can get the BSN by going to a BSN program. Or by going to a community...

  19. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Saysfaa replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The government moves slowly; they are constantly well behind the cutting edge. For example, many segments are still reporting a nursing shortage. They would be (are?) trying to increase the numbers...

  20. Prereqs clarification

    Saysfaa replied to Studylots34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, you might want to check the class schedule/description which will be very specific about the prereqs for that class. That will tell you whether "cell biology" will work as the "biology" prereq,...

  21. How to avoid the 'waitlist' in a nursing program?

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

    A program that drops everyone at the start of each semester doesn't have a waitlist... it has rankings until they sent out the acceptance letters and then an alternates list - even if the school uses...

  22. How to avoid the 'waitlist' in a nursing program?

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

    The "33 schools" is for schools that offer refresher courses rather than what the rest of the page is about. They missed many, many schools; actually, I don't think it is supposed to be a...

  23. How to avoid the 'waitlist' in a nursing program?

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

    npratt10, why do you say only 33? There are many more than

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

    I don't think it is that black and white. It depends on why you failed the first time and what would be different this

  25. Has Anyone Taken Biomedical Ethics?

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

    I did. The prof teaches a class on the ethics of death on alternate years, so we didn't cover that. We covered the basic schools of philosophical thought (Kant, Mills, Locke). We covered some...
