  1. another dumb question..lol

    RebeccaV replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    don't be deflated, put your mind to it, and youll do great - there are a ton of pre-reqs to take anyone, so technically even if you could be nursing right away, it wouldnt matter with so many courses...

  2. Study tips, guides, etc for A&P

    RebeccaV replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I'm a total nerd and grade obsessed, so I started prepareing for my fall AP class back in June lol. I suggest AP for dummies, which is a great overview of the barious chapters you'll cover. Also,...

  3. Quitting job to go to nursing school

    RebeccaV replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

    I'm also in a similar position, I graduated after studying business and fashion merchandising, and have been in the field for only 3 years but am very unhappy and bored with it. I knew I couldn't...

  4. Just starting Pre-Reqs....so excited and nervous. Advice?

    RebeccaV replied to KLP151's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1 - GPA and test scores are the ultimate factors for getting in, so personally what helps me with classes is reading ahead, start reading ahead and studying now for your fall classes, once in class...

  5. Science classes without taking any math in over 10 years, help?

    RebeccaV replied to jwannab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    youll be fine, only chem really requires math and it is simply using formulas and solving problems, which the teacher and or text will

  6. Is my GPA good enough?

    RebeccaV replied to ragingpanda1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it does vary by school and area. My local cc cuts off aorund 3.2ish, but the local 4 year schools dont really cut off the accept down to a

  7. Is my GPA good enough?

    RebeccaV replied to ragingpanda1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think a 3.7 is outstanding!!! Ive heard of 3.0-3.5 being a cut off so you should be fine. Although most schools also weigh your teas or net scores, some look at an overall gpa and a sci gpa,...

  8. Algebra & Chemistry Advice

    RebeccaV replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally love algebra and chem lol, but I think you'll be fine in chem. There will be chemical equations, but nothing like algebra, more looking at the charges of an element to see which other...

  9. Be Aware: Don't Go into Nursing

    RebeccaV replied to work&play's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This really applies to any field, the economy is rough for everyone. It also varies by area as well. My area is a "high need" location forgiving student loans for nursing students, hiring new grads...

  10. How did (is) A&P1 go for you?

    RebeccaV replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im taking it this fall, Ive heard mixed things. But a 91 and A is awesome, you should be thrilled. I know people who got As and said it wasn't hard just a great deal of studying and memorizing -...

  11. Pre req. english class

    RebeccaV replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One C, especially an English class won't hurt you that much. I got a C in my English class, and I got As in everything else and one B leaving me a 3.7, so if your other grades are great I wouldnt...

  12. my fall classes

    RebeccaV replied to titans767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I kind of assumed that, the great thing is a math class will help prep you for the net or teas and Im sure after this math, youll do very well in a higher

  13. my parents think i am dumb.

    RebeccaV replied to jmmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let others peoples criticisms stop you from pursuing your dreams. I would consider a 2 year program, you can always pursue that, then enter into a bsn or even a rn to msn

  14. Work PT during nursing school

    RebeccaV replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I think so, but it depends on you. Some people can handle both, some cannot. Personally I do better when I have work and school because it drives me, when I don't feel that extra push and stress I...

  15. my fall classes

    RebeccaV replied to titans767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a very doable schedule in my opinion, but every person has thier own approach to time mgmt. Personally, I do better when I have ALOT so I take 5 courses and work 20hrs a week, my brother...

    RebeccaV replied to whitneyLOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm among the group of people working ahead for A&P, I found my teacher, found his website on the school and found his syllabus to get an idea of how he teaches and what he ranks (quizzes, tests,...

  17. GPA

    RebeccaV replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous poster who said strive for a 4.0 - I'm working my butt off in my summer courses and working ahead in reading for the fall because I want that 4.0 - my school stats a minimum...

  18. Electives...Easy A or something I'll ACTUALLY use!???

    RebeccaV replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same situation. I need to be full time to gt fin. aid, but only need micro and A&P1 and 2, so this fall Im obviously in AP1 and taking electives to fill up the space. I'm opting for...

  19. First Post: Looking for some advice

    RebeccaV replied to Lori127, RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im in a similar situation. Im 27 and have a BA in fashion merchandising (lol I know) I picked an ADN program because I want to get my RN quickly, then after some years working enter a MSN program....

  20. How competitive are CC's?

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

    I'm in at a CC and it is more competetive than the the other two 4 year bsn schools in my area. Mostly because it has a huge flow of apps given the low price and shortness to complete the program....

  21. Do schools look at the type of volunteer service?

    RebeccaV replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any kind of volunteering looks great. It shows you're taking the first step towards your career and helping

  22. Alternatives to taking a class?

    RebeccaV replied to DimSum29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you can take it on-line or a community college, but I know my school requires A&P 1 and 2 be taken at the same school, so if you take one on line you might have to take the second online as

  23. Is this class load insane?

    RebeccaV replied to Amp21786's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think its fine, but in the second semester I would drop micro and take that later. Chem and Bio in my opinion aren't bad, but together with 2 labs is alot of work and time consuming. Micro is...

  24. Work Contracts with Hospitals for Tuition?

    RebeccaV replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    Check with the hospitals and tje area you want to work. I've heard of the contracts, but I've also seen hospitals in my area offering loan repayment as a sign on bonus, and most states have a loan...

  25. Change school plans?

    RebeccaV replied to coffee and toast's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand, and yes only you can make the right choice. I think the waiting is a better option if you are concerned with the amount of debt. Everyone acquires student loan debt. Why not find out...
