  1. Which professor should I ask for a letter of recommendation?

    Saysfaa replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask whichever one is the most articulate in their writing and is most likely to actually do it if/when they say they will. Go by what they have said or written for the class you were in or any papers...

  2. Not taking the traditional rout to nursing school...

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

    didn't there used to be a little cheerleader

  3. C in Chemistry?!?!?!?

    Saysfaa replied to IThinkICan100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should have mentioned the cheating when you became aware of it. After the final grades are back makes it a little hard for the prof to do much about it, especially if it becomes your word against...

  4. College Math

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

    Most colleges have a section for transfer students which should have a link to a page called "course equivalencies" or some such thing. It will list most of the nearby colleges and clicking on that...

  5. College Math

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

    The math classes you need are: College Algebra Math 16 (Finite Mathematics) Math 100 (Statistics) or Psychology 150 (Statistics in Psychology) (hm, which only add up to 9 credits.... I couldn't find...

  6. Perfectionism

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

    Are you venting or did you want advise on how to do

  7. CNA Program

    Saysfaa replied to JClay12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any CNA text book will be helpful - by "text book", I mean soft-cover manual with lots and lots of pictures. If you know what program you are going to do and you will be doing it soon, just get the...

  8. Teacher repeats his test.

    Saysfaa replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is NOT okay. Even if it does catch up with them someday, it is more likely to be after they are in nursing school than before - stealing the spot of someone who actually deserves

  9. Has anyone formed a study group for your class?

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

    Yes. One was a proximity thing - My table mate and I and the guy who sat behind us formed one through casual conversation. That was very successful. Each of us did the work ahead of time so we...

  10. No-one to a Someone.

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

    Listening and speaking skills can be developed. Study skills can be learned. She said she can do well when she wants to, so it sounds the ability is there to work

  11. A&P if you've never taken chemistry

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

    You don't need chem or biology for the anatomy. They are a tiny bit helpful in a few places and quite helpful in the sexual reproduction section (miosis/mitosis) but certainly not essential. If your...

  12. Nervous about college!

    Saysfaa replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Astonomia, she got into the college, she needed a little higher score to get an early acceptance into the nursing program. As it is, she will need to apply to the nursing school later. Or "he"...

  13. No-one to a Someone.

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

    This may or may not apply to you but it is what I wish I had understood earlier... skills don't just happen - I have to develop them and it requires time, attention and energy. I remember being a...

  14. My predicament

    Saysfaa replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I think it would be wise to transfer - but before you leave your current program, talk to the BSN program people about how their admissions department views people who have been in a nursing program....

  15. best anatomy and physiology aid?

    Saysfaa replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The models in the science resource room. The coloring books and prisma colored pencils. Plain notebook paper for writing and rewriting the lists of terms - ad nauseum - in patterns so like goes with...

  16. Accepted into program...needing advice.

    Saysfaa replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is funny! My family has benefited from that book (yes, I forgot the five was in the title). Actually, I've been rethinking my answer. I would still do it - my husband and I actually talked about...

  17. Accepted into program...needing advice.

    Saysfaa replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In your shoes, I would take the seat. Before I did, I would do a lot of talking and planning with your (hm, my?, lol) husband.... which is sounds like you've done. Mine would not say he supported...

  18. Is it better to go to university?

    Saysfaa replied to shannon96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Employer preference for BSN is not nationwide. The education is not the same - both will prepare you for nursing (assuming they are reputable and accredited programs) but BSN will require non-nurse...

  19. My PC doc said she'd make as much as a public school teacher???

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

    Well, dsb_fam, she would probably make more as a physician than a teacher there because Arizona is among the bottom ten states as far as teacher salaries, esp vs cost of living. But in the ten states...

  20. My PC doc said she'd make as much as a public school teacher???

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

    I believe it. Maybe not nationwide or for all types of family/primary care practices or if you are comparing them with private school teachers but I think it would be true much more often than people...

  21. Chemistry requirement... Withdrawal?

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

    Is Pass/Fail an option? That would be better than either a C or a W because it wouldn't factor in your overall gpa. If you can't do P/F then a C is usually better but sometimes a W is. One of my...

  22. NP vs. OT

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

    A community college won't have an OT program - a minimum of a master's is needed to practice. It might have an OTA program - you will probably want to clarify which your advisor is talking about...

  23. BEST anatomy coloring book

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

    I don't think there is a single best one. I like Kapit's best because of clarity (enough detail without having too much in the pictures), because it has print on only one side of a page (so I can use...

  24. Lottery System...How does it work?

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

    Logan, that is wait-list system, not lottery. I disagree anyway that there should be only one system (merit based). For one thing, how would you determine who is the most qualified? Just grades?...

  25. Lottery System...How does it work?

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

    I would not go to the seminar and tell them their website doesn't explain it. I think it did a pretty fair job of explaining it - good enough that, at best, I might ask if I understand this...
