  1. Pass/No Pass for Pre-req

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

    I did - two of them. I asked the nursing advisor - who said it has no impact on how they look at my application. They said, if anything it is an advantage because it shows inititive. They take the...

  2. Do schools give male students an advantage?

    Saysfaa replied to Lukes089's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. It isn't legal but it is illegal the same way scholarships don't discriminate based on gender or race. It just means they only discriminate in certain ways. The push for diversity and the need...

  3. Is there a word for "seeing what needs to be done"?

    Saysfaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am writing my personal statement and haven't been able to find a concise way to say this. I mean something similar to inititive but inititive is doing things without being prompted by other people....

  4. A&P "coloring book"??

    Saysfaa replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have passed the class without them, probably even gotten an A - I could tell more or less where things belonged from pictures and descriptions. But by the time I finished coloring a part I...

  5. Class Load

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

    There is no set standard. One of the schools I looked at has one 9 or 10 credit class per term. Another has 5 or 6 separate classes per term that are mostly 3 and 4 credits each but range from 1...

  6. So confused-What to do?

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

    No. You need the part of the program that the 20 people per year are doing as well as the general education (gen ed) and prerequisite classes that are what you are doing right now to get the...

  7. Advice please!

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

    Looks good except for the summer of 2013.... a genius might be able to do that or a person with a solid and thorough background in anatomy and chemistry. Summer semesters are half as long as Fall or...

  8. Graphing Calculator for Statistics

    Saysfaa replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter for stats. You don't need a TI89 until you get to differential equations (3rd year of engineering school for perspective). The more expensive ones have more memory but you won't use...

  9. Asking for a letter of remondation....

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

    This is for grad school rather than nursing school but most of the suggestions will apply anyway... How to Ask for a Letter of Recommendation for Graduate

  10. Communication pre req in two weeks

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

    Hm, this is probably as stupid question but didn't you need a basic com course for your psych degree? Otherwise - there is a fair amount of com concepts in psych - you've probably got much of the...

  11. Communication pre req in two weeks

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

    Do you think you can do a semester's worth of work in two weeks if there was a way? Either by having a strong enough background in com (formally or informally) or a photographic memory or

  12. Communication pre req in two weeks

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

    Nevermind, my idea wasn't a viable option.

  13. High School student would appreciate advice

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

    Before reading your last post.... CNA is certified nurse assistant and can be done in 2 weeks, less in some states, a little more in some states. CNA has other names in some states (Ohio, for one)....

    Cally said "I suggest that you google the CNA requirements for your state." .....................↑...............

  15. Fund of Gen, Organic & Biochem, 4 credits, online

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

    I took one five credit chemistry class to meet the requirements of a ADN. Well, I only needed to take one, I have others from too many years ago. It was designed for the ADN program. It meets the...

  16. How do I get my BSN?

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

    talking to an advisor is a good idea, you just need a different advisor... maybe one at a community college or university in your area. i'd also look at the schools websites. they usually say what...

  17. High School student would appreciate advice

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

    Try putting "path to degree" and "pros and cons of online" or "should I do online" or "like online" into the search bar on this website. You will get lots of results, if it isn't exactly what you are...

  18. Is taking 3 science classes insane?

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

    That is a nice thought Callie, but not true. People bite off more than they can chew all the time and schools have automated enrollment. Even with advisor input regarding for this term - the answer...

  19. Anybody in the same boat?

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

    CNA is required before applying to the nursing program at my school, so everyone does it while doing their prereqs. It is generally considered easier than most of the other prereqs so most people...

  20. 1 week until HESI and just now studying... HELP!!!!

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

    My school doesn't require the HESI so I know little about it. But good test taking strategies include getting enough sleep - it will be tempting to short you sleep to cram but having a functioning...

  21. Is taking 3 science classes insane?

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

    The rule of thumb is not more than two sciences with labs. However, that assumes one is taking another class or two as well. Three sci/labs with no other classes and/or not too many other...

  22. A backup plan

    Saysfaa replied to Madison1379's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't do psychology as the backup plan - too many people in my physiology and psychology classes were doing the prereqs for nursing because they researched the job market for psychology grads by...

  23. List of Pre Reqs Available Online

    Saysfaa replied to Erik1904's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Extended Ed" just means they are targeting/accommodating nontraditional students. Why does it matter if they are geared toward people completing their degree there? Most universities are geared...

  24. List of Pre Reqs Available Online

    Saysfaa replied to Erik1904's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Does anyone know of an advisor pre-approving an outside prerequisite course(s) by email and later renigging and requiring their own signature?" Yes, only they didn't say should have gotten the...

  25. List of Pre Reqs Available Online

    Saysfaa replied to Erik1904's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools have equivalency guides for at least the schools in the area. You can find them by searching the school's website for "transfer credit" or "transfer equivalent credit" or "transfer...
