HI, I'm looking for any information about Alfred State Nursing. All the posts that I searched seemed extremely old. If anyone has gone I was wondering if you could give me the good and the bad. I recently withdrew from a horrible program and lookin...

Wow, everyone seems to recommend them. Can someone post a link of an actual book. I googled but I'm coming up with so many.

I would brush up on A&P definitely and familiarize yourself with medical terms!!! That was my hardest by far because our instructors didn't give us a list of all of them, so I would write the word down and look it up!

Hi Everyone, I just completed my first week back to school. I'm in my first semester of Nursing School and we meet on Thursdays and Fridays. So far we have gone through 5 chapters of our Nursing Text and I have no science/medical background, so I am ...

Sorry my typing too fast got ahead of me and I can't find out how to edit my post (Cyanosis)

We start Orientation on August 30-September 1 and then start Nursing School on September 2nd, but I have other classes that start on August 30th

I use flash cards for EVERYTHING haha. I literally have stacks upon stacks! I find myself able to memorize and understand the information easier!

I'm not sure about shoes, I'm still looking but I would double check with the croc shoes because we are unable to wear them for my Nursing School.

Nursing school is pure stress end of story. It's something that is so hard and congrats on doing well last semester. Just remember that others are in the same situation as you with financial aid and student loans. I know that if it weren't for studen...

Wow!!! That looks intimidating and insane! I don't think our school sends us a syllabus, but instead has it for us for our "week long" orientation on top of all of the other classes we are taking!

I'm attending a University so I wish my tuition was ALOT lower, but unfortunately it's not. My books for just this semester are 1400! I about choked when I found this out not only because they were 1400, but because I also have a family with 2 kids a...

My Nursing Professor gave us advice that we "may" use an older edition, but the problem with those is that there may be more information in the newer edition books. Also, it may help on tests, understanding lectures and labs more if we have the curre...

I wondered this same question frequently. A friend of mine went to Nursing school at the same school that I'm attending a few years prior and was able to work in the hospital here as a CNA, although my Nursing professor stated that we would need to s...

It took me 2 years to complete all of my pre-requisites and I took elective classes that were needed for the degree!

Haha, thanks for the laugh. I totally agree with that!

I agree, I would reach out to your dad. When they are gone, they are gone for forever. I would love to reach out and talk to my dad, but he passed away 9 years ago from cancer. I especially feel like you should when you know that your first email may...

Chemistry is a Pre Req for the Nursing program in my area. Last semester my "adviser" stated that I could do AP without Chemistry. I stayed in AP for 2 weeks before having to withdrawal. Everything my AP teacher was teaching he was referring back to ...

Well to start off I have 2 children and a husband. To help with bills My husband works full time and then I work part time. Depending on my course load will determine to how much I actually work while in school. To pay for school I have applied for F...

I was going to suggest using Amazon also. I used them 2 semesters ago and the book was new and saved me at least 100 on each book that I was able to buy. I know books are expensive and last semester when I was finishing up all my pre-reqs I spent mor...

The school that I currently go to and the school that I'm transferring to this Fall both require Pharmacology. It's also it's own class in both schools. Good Luck and I hope things get better for you.

Hi, Honestly, I would say if you can get into either Nursing programs I would go for it. I know in most areas it's hard to even get into RN Nursing Programs. I'm currently going to school at a Community College (and have my Pre-Requisites done) and ...
