  1. Is there any hope in me becoming an RN?

    mangopeach replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd look into programs that look at more than just the GPA. A 3.0 will be an uphill battle for a program that solely looks at GPA. If I were in your shoes I'd probably apply to programs that look at...

  2. Want to get my BSN, but beginning to get discouraged

    mangopeach replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only extra math classes you will have to take if you scored poorly on the Compass - are the remedial math classes. Depending on your score, you may have to take 1 or 2 beginner's math classes...

  3. So how different is nursing school?

    mangopeach replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    For me its not just the amount of reading. I don't read every single page assigned, even so, its still a lot of studying even without reading all the pages assigned. Especially when you get to Med...

  4. New student need some advice plz!

    mangopeach replied to 1manwlfpk's topic in General Students

    As far as the tattoo - find out from the schools you are interested in what their rules are BEFOREHAND. At my school, you can wear a long sleeve shirt under your uniform if you have tats. I've seen...

  5. Clinical Post Conference

    mangopeach replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    I don't mind post conferences. I think they should be limited to no more than 1 hour

  6. Question for pre-nursing students...

    mangopeach replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should wait to speak to the advisor. Your school may have different rules than other schools. At my school, if you have to take lower level courses, then you must pass them before you can take...

  7. Microbiology

    mangopeach replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro was the easiest of the sciences for me and the most

  8. Just a question about associate in nursing

    mangopeach replied to Talley_1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would finish all those other classes before starting nursing classes. You'll hear it time and time again but won't really understand it fully until you start. The work load for nursing is massive!!!...

  9. Nursing School has it all wrong.

    mangopeach replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

    Well there is more to therapeutic communication than just tell me more. Funny, though because we all used to joke that that was always the answer on a test. But I actually put what I learned into...

  10. Need some Positive feedback

    mangopeach replied to momofbbg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats just the way it is. I had to retake A&P 1. It was too old. I was miffed about it at first since it would delay the time it took to get in the program but ya know what? I had a B in it the...

  11. So how different is nursing school?

    mangopeach replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students

    The biggest difference for me is the massive amount of work and studying to be done in so little time. The workload is just not comparable to anything most of us have ever

  12. Ebooks in Nursing School?

    mangopeach replied to hannah87's topic in General Students

    I have been using ebooks for a while now. Loved them while I was doing Pre-Reqs. Not so much for nursing school. Yeah, it saves you money but the amount of time you spend studying in nursing school is...

  13. Do you have a day off/free time?

    mangopeach replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

    Free time? What is that? I have not seen that since starting nursing school. LOL! I'm so looking forward to the end of this semester. My first year of NS will be complete. The way my program is set...

  14. McGraw Hill Study Guide vs ATI Study Guide

    mangopeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm being impatient and not sure I want to wait for the ATI study guide to arrive in the mail if I order it. I can get the Mcgraw Hill study guide from my library or a book store close by. Has...

  15. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    mangopeach replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    I think I'd be leery of a program that loses half of its students. Question to those of you that attend programs with half the class failing out. Does the school offer any kind of help for struggling...

  16. low gpa - bsn or asn?

    mangopeach replied to gogodice's topic in General Students

    Most ADN programs are not less competitive than BSN programs. At this point, due to lower cost, I'd say some are even more competitive due to the massive number of applicants and many of these...

  17. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    mangopeach replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    Wow, I'm nearing the end of my 2nd semester and we've lost a few folks but nowhwere near half. Scary! - My school does not round so everyone knows that the best thing is to not hover at barely passing...

  18. Help with anything for nursing school

    mangopeach replied to angelaforrester's topic in General Students

    I no longer read every single page assigned and I've been getting As in med surg since I stopped trying to read every single page. Does that mean I don't read the material important to what I'm...

  19. I'm officially BACK in Nursing School

    mangopeach replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

  22. Who else is studying on July 4th?

    mangopeach replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Meee! I have an exam on Wednesday. I am happy for the extra day today to get a bit more studying time. All my holidays since I started nursing school have been spent studying. Its gotten to the point...

  23. So which semester is the hardest???

    mangopeach replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    I have the Saunders Comprehensive Review 5th Edition. Wished I had used it at the beginning of the semester. I have a high B average right now. I think if I had used it from the beginning my average...

  24. So which semester is the hardest???

    mangopeach replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    I'm in 2nd semester now, Med Surg. 4 more weeks left, yayyy! - At first I thought it was way harder than 1st semester. Now I don't think its really that difficult. 1st semester/Fundamentals was...

  25. What are good shoes, socks, and a watch for a nursing student?

    mangopeach replied to J-Swish's topic in General Students

    I wear all white Reebok Classics- pretty comfy For socks, I just buy from the dollar store, thin ladies all white socks. I'm too cheap to spend a lot of money on socks. The dollar store socks are just...
