  2. Scared Crapless

    mangopeach replied to jweb's topic in General Students

    Don't panic. Last thing you want right now is to be in panic mode. Just tell yourself you can do it and believe it! I don't have much advice, I'm a first semester student myself.Still working on what...

  3. Keep failing checkoffs

    mangopeach replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I feel ya! I get soooo nervous on checkoff days. However, I have to agree with practicing more. The one skill that I did not pass on my first attempt at doing it, I did not spend enough time...

  4. Times to repeat course or re-enter program

    mangopeach replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    You can only repeat a failed course once. Fail another course and you are out. However, I am hearing that even with the chance to repeat a failed course, it still has to be decided on by the...

  5. Discouraged after speaking to a counselor

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

    I agree with the above poster. Your best bet is to get info directly from the program you want to apply to. Different schools have different rules. Some will replace a failed grade so if you get an A...

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

    Both. But you will learn once you start nursing classes that you really have to cut back. I don't post as much since I started nursing school this semester. Although not wise, you can cram for...

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

    The only thing I think you need to do is focus on staying healthy. Having a history of a mental health problems does not mean you can't be a nurse. I can tell you on my physical form that had to be...

  9. What type of math would a nurse use on the job?

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

    You need basic arithmetic for nursing. Conversions, working with decimals, fractions, the metric system. However, I do get the logic behind doing those advanced math courses. They help build your...

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

  13. GPA concerns...can I fix it?

    mangopeach replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It differs at each institution, but see if you are eligible for academic amnesty, that would wipe the slate clean. If not then depending on the rules of the program you want to get into, you may be...

    mangopeach replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    What! I have not read this entire thread but have you reported this person? I would not stand for this! I don't mind being pushed to my limit, I don't mind being criticized - If its all done with good...

  15. Fearful, excited, and nervous about starting nursing school need some advice.

    mangopeach replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    I think its pretty normal to have some of those emotions. I certainly did. This is my first semester in nursing school. The semester is almost over. Today was my last clinical for the semester. Yes...

  16. ATI CARP?

    mangopeach replied to Rob27's topic in General Students

    If this is the same as the ATI exit, then yes my school uses it as well. You must pass it at the end of every semester but we have more than one chance to take it. We also don't pay for it! I like...

  17. nurses have any you ever repeated a nursing prereq more than once?

    mangopeach replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program and they do take repeats into consideration. It really depends on the particular program you are trying to get into. I don't think there is a hard set rule that ADN programs do...

    mangopeach replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    I would mind my own business. True her ethics are in question by having someone else sign her in, but I have enough problems of my own than to be worried about whether another student is lying about...

  20. Do nursing schools frown on repeat classes?

    mangopeach replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. nurses have any you ever repeated a nursing prereq more than once?

    mangopeach replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    I think the OP meant he/she received an F. But will redo the course and if all goes well, the OP gets an A, the A & F will average out to a C. Its my understanding that not all programs do an...

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

    Sorry, you are having difficulties. At this point, as cliche as it sounds, no point in crying over spilled milk. Yes some schools do look at repeated courses, even if you got an A the 2nd time around....
