    Texas247365 replied to Kevinellis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wow, just wow. I am a white male and had no issue's getting others to not only pay for my tuition and fee's but was also able to get enough money to reach my total cost of attendance (so much money...

  3. Why go into nursing? is it for the money or for other reasons

    Texas247365 replied to love7777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one doesn't take money as a factor. Some are more dollar oriented then others, but no one works for free, and there is a reason that no one stops at CNA (after all, if we are talking patient care,...

  4. Keeping my scholarship, making the grade

    Texas247365 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all, this one might be a novel, sorry. I recently have been awarded a full ride merit scholarship from my nursing school that pays for every school I have, room, board, books, tuition, fees; the...

  5. Do they look at high school transcipts??

    Texas247365 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what he said DOs are looked down upon by MD's because the requirements are lower for DO schools and there are now some for profit DO

  6. Do they look at high school transcipts??

    Texas247365 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, some nursing schools do look at HS transcripts and ACT/SAT scores if they are within the last 5 years. However, in your situation I dont think good grades in HS, no matter the classes, are going...

  7. Need Some Help Figuring Out Program Differences

    Texas247365 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The transitional one sets you up to transfer to an associated college (Lamar and University of Texas) to get your BSN. Other than that (and the one credit hour difference that I just dont have the...

  8. Grades... bad

    Texas247365 replied to AndyLorentz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What moon said. It may seem like an easy way out to pretend that you had never been to school before, but they can check. And intergrity violations are career

  9. OK..Be honest

    Texas247365 replied to jazzyrose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking it a third time would still give you a C for the course, you would have to take it twice more (total of four times) to get a B, and really repeating a course once you have an A seems pointless...

  10. Gender = advantage?

    Texas247365 replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How can you just come out and say that if they go by test scores and GPA that men might have an advantage, especially if they are strong in math and science? How do test scores or GPA set men apart...

  11. Gender = advantage?

    Texas247365 replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Females across the board are over represented in colleges but that doesn't affect the enrollment chances of a male. This is the way it should be, no perferental treatment based on race or sex. Let the...

  12. High school graduate - preparation for pre-nursing

    Texas247365 replied to cadarrius's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like singdance said, take a break, recharge your batteries and have a fun summer, you will have plenty of time to get up to speed as the courses ramp

  13. Are we a dime a dozen?

    Texas247365 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is not the people that you see that you are in competition with, it is the people that you dont see. Honestly you should look to your classmates as people to work with, not against. Those older...

  14. Any guys color blind? (Girls are welcome too!)

    Texas247365 replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just took that test and I am red green color blind, which is funny as the military never id'ed me as such. I can see red and green (stoplights and the like are no issue, but light pink and light green...

  15. Any guys color blind? (Girls are welcome too!)

    Texas247365 replied to cHaNkStA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Umm I disagree that it is not a disablilty. In micro I could not tell the faint red from faint gree in a spore stain. Luckily I was able to tell based on structure, but even then it was a guess. I am...

  16. Anybody put their home on line for nursing school

    Texas247365 replied to labchic's topic in General Students

    It is very hard to turn a profit with a rental property, and if you are struggling with your housing payment now, moving into an apt will not help (in todays market many homes are being rented out for...

  17. GPA calc for graduate programs

    Texas247365 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just some foreword thinking, I am still knocking out pre-reqs, on the typical system schools use for gpa. Will the use both the grades from community college and what ever college I end up going to or...

  18. iTouch or Old School?

    Texas247365 replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you can get a used one off of craigslist for 100 or less, but if you can get a used iphone with at least 8 gigs of space (the benefit here is the camera and voice recording) that comes jailbroken so...

  19. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

    Texas247365 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok so I got into a flame war with another poster on here about my response to a pre-nursing question, and it left me wondering a few things. Do you come here for real answers, as harsh as they may be,...

  20. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

    Texas247365 replied to Texas247365's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow I just can't get away from you jokers:jester:, but since you came I'll remind you that I wasn't being the grammar police, I was pointing out a few issues with the OP's over all package and used...

  21. Male Nursing Students

    Texas247365 replied to simple500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A big issue is that, although good, nursing pay isn't great. And the sad truth is that women in general do not want to date or marry down (recent study on pay inequality reveled that most women would...

  22. AP credit for pre-requisites

    Texas247365 replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why take them again? Now if you end up with a less then ideal GPA you could retake them as they will surely result in an A for you and pad your GPA, but if you took that many AP courses in HS you...

  23. Overcoming low GPA for accelerated BSN program?

    Texas247365 replied to twois's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate depo as well, that stuff is pure poison. I really think you have a chance getting into a program as all the A's you plan on getting will surely boost your GPA above a 3.0 and then you will be...

  24. iTouch or Old School?

    Texas247365 replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love my touch for on the go and taking the bus. But I have to admit that I perfer books at home. There is also a recent study that determined ibooks take longer to

  25. Do you ask Q's for the truth, or to hear nice things???

    Texas247365 replied to Texas247365's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the concensus seems to be that honesty is best given with a bit of sugar. I'll work on being less of an orifice about it, the military didn't do me any favors when it comes to tact, but it seems...
