    JackieBRCC replied to 2bnurseskip's topic in General Students

  9. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Me too! Before I was a nursing student, I would always see groups of them on campus standing around, and of course, there are only like 2 benches for 20 students. A few of us will have our own...

    JackieBRCC replied to DaddyO's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Me too. The CC I attend has graduated 6 classes since the beginning of their program and have had a 100% NCLEX-RN passage rate since the beginning. It's a very competitive program. I could have...

    JackieBRCC replied to DaddyO's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your post about druggies and unwed mothers being the only ones going for their ADNs was offensive. What do you

    I bought all my books on Amazon for $398. The bookstore price was $648. I'd always shop elsewhere before buying from the bookstore at

    JackieBRCC replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    If you're halfway willing to wait until January anyway, then what do you have to lose? Go ahead and

  17. are these grades good enough??

    JackieBRCC replied to SkyMeadow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you doomed with an A and 2 Bs? No! So you have 4 classes left? If you wind up with mostly Bs in those, you may not get in. Every school is different, and it depends on the quality/grades of...

  20. How competitive are CC's?

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

    My school is up front about it. They let you know that students who take their pre-reqs there, get picked first. It has caused a good bit of bitterness though b/c students who have applied with 3.8...

  21. Studying the wrong HESI study guide!!!!!

    JackieBRCC replied to KristaS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I studied the "correct" study guide, and it didn't really help me much. It helped with the math, but I would think any study guide would be helpful in studying for the math portion. As for the other...

  22. How competitive are CC's?

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

    At the CC I attend, GPA, HESI exam score, and where you took your pre-reqs (they take their own students first) are the 3 main criteria they look at. I haven't heard of anyone getting in with less...
