  1. What did you do while waiting to get in to NS?

    JROregon replied to FirefightersWife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lots of people do CNA work either at a hospital or nursing home. I think I might also take the 3 or 4 classes I need that will get me into a RN to BSN

  2. Repeating a course, what are the chances the exams are going to be the same?

    JROregon replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If our instructor had a 40 question exam, he would use some type of program to randomize those 40 out of a possible 200 questions. He would only let us keep his short quizzes but not the full exams....

    JROregon replied to troydaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    JROregon replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. To work or not to work?

    JROregon replied to tmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not see how school is going before you decide to work also. In Fall 2008, I went back to school also. My youngest was starting kindergarten which made things much easier in terms of childcare. I...

    JROregon replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People have a certain image of what a nurse does and don't have a clue of what the reality is. There are also certain cultures that look at nursing as being on the same level as housekeeping. You...

    JROregon replied to Mada87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I would begin with remedial English classes and writing. From reading your post, it looks like English might be your second language. I am not trying to offend. I was in anatomy and physiology...

    JROregon replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JROregon replied to Mintyfreshness23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must agree with Jupiter that having some prior college science, like biology, can make a huge difference. I have a business background and got As in all the science pre-reqs but I can say it's...

  15. 4 Qs about A&P vs. Microbiology?

    JROregon replied to neurontin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JROregon replied to mmoton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JROregon replied to Mintyfreshness23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JROregon replied to DCoffill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We register on-line and those with more credits from the college get priority and an earlier time. A first time student may not be likely to get the classes she wants especially with all the people...

    JROregon replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
