  1. Is this universal or just my program?

    mangopeach replied to NnSweets's topic in General Students

    We have dosage problems on every test as

  2. Clinical rotation

    mangopeach replied to cbccern's topic in General Students

    First semester and I'm on a Renal

  3. Is this universal or just my program?

    mangopeach replied to NnSweets's topic in General Students

    Took my dosage calc test on Monday. We also need to get 100%. However, its not given on the first day of class. School started in January. We have 3 shots at it as well. There are instructions given...

  4. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    mangopeach replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    My school does try to help. We have family night before the first semester starts. This is supposed to help family understand what you will be going through. I live alone so I did not go. Not sure if...

  5. i need a math class to apply, which???

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

    Depends on what your school is looking for. My school asked for College Algebra or above and recommends Math Modeling since its all word problems. And FYI- the math I'm doing in nursing school is...

  6. Nursing Seminar before nursing school

    mangopeach replied to smileee8787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I think its helpful. My school does something like this in 2 ways. There's a pre nursing class that introduces you to what nursing school and the nursing profession is like. Its a 1 credit class...

  7. If you FAIL a semester, how many chances do you get to finish?

    mangopeach replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    If you fail a semester, you only get 1 chance to repeat it. After that if you fail another semester, you would be

  8. Teaching a (not so) old dog new tricks.

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

    I'm doing way better this second journey than I did right out of high school many moons ago. You will be fine. Sometimes I think to myself, if only things had clicked for me back then the way it does...

  9. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

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

    Good luck! You should feel good about your choice. No need to feel guilty. We are all different so what might work for one person may not work for another. You have to make the choice that you think...

  10. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

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

    I know you didn't ask me, but here's my 2 cents. And like I said in my earlier post, this is my first semester of nursing school so take that for what its worth. So far I have not found the material...

  11. Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Oh and one other thing. I'm not sure where you are in terms of pre-reqs. But be aware that although Chem may not be required as a pre-req in some programs, you may still end up having to take it if...

  12. Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Is this a major that you get a degree in or is it just a status? My school has a pre nursing major, but its not a degree that you get like accounting or teaching. Its pretty much an in limbo status...

  13. Question about entrance exams

    mangopeach replied to laurah4k's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out which version of the TEAS exam they require and get the study guide. There are different versions of the TEAS exam and they each have their respective study guides. Example, my school...

  14. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

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

    It depends on the program. My program does. Doesn't mean you can't get in though. Say for instance they have limited slots left and they are looking at student A and student B with similar GPAs....

  15. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

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

    I would drop the Chem to focus on getting As in the other classes. At this point, I think you just have to weigh the risks vs the benefits. OK, Ws may work against you, but so does having a C in the...

  16. Do you have to be a student before applying to Nursing Programs?

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

    You need to check with the schools you are planning on applying to. At my school, yes, you have to be accepted at the college first, and then apply to the nursing

  17. Qi Gong in nursing school

    mangopeach replied to anneuhbanana's topic in General Students

    It depends on how fundamental someone might be. Qigong practice is used by Taoists and Buddhists so for some it may be in conflict with their religion. Similar to how yoga is in conflict with some...

  18. Previous terrible grades???

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

    Its my understanding that most schools will forgive those old grades. Check your school's policy for Academic Amnesty or Academic Renewal. Different schools may have different rules for how this is...

  19. What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

    mangopeach replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    Getting enough sleep the night before. I was used to going to bed pretty late but had to change that. Now my rule is I need to be in bed no later than 11:30. Preferably by 11 pm so I can get at least...

  20. Qi Gong in nursing school

    mangopeach replied to anneuhbanana's topic in General Students

    No but I would love something like that, especially before a test as a relaxation technique. One prof sometimes leads a prayer session before exams for those that want to pray though. I'm not...

  21. no wait list schools????

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

    My school GPC in Georgia does not have a wait list. It is very competitive though. I'm in my first semester. Over 300 applications and only about 60 accepted. Selection is based strictly on GPA and...

  22. Anything that can help get in?

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

    Depends on the school. My school does not look at whether you have health care experience. Selection is made only on GPA and TEASV scores. With schools like that, the only thing that you can do is...

  23. Seemingly pointless classes

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

    No need for a war of words but you did say you find these classes to be completely pointless. Did you only post this to get agreement in the way you feel about this class? And I'm really not trying...

  24. Seemingly pointless classes

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

    I don't want to get into another round of ADN vs BSN but I would imagine that this might depend on the approach or model that different programs adopt. I'm in an ADN program and I can assure you that...

  25. Seemingly pointless classes

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

    I actually loved those types of classes. I think I'm a better person for it. I think they have added so much to my life and made me a better thinker, and a better person in general. I took more...
