  1. Nursing books

    JackieBRCC replied to bonsai5622's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just ordered all my first semester books from Amazon, and saved about $250 from the school's bookstore prices.

  2. rejection is making me lost

    JackieBRCC replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I am a non-traditional student and my GPA from 14 years ago was horrible. Luckily, the school I started two years ago has a repeat/delete policy, so I was able to retake everything I already...

  3. rejection is making me lost

    JackieBRCC replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of that. Even schools that don't have a repeat/delete policy, should still let you retake anything you want, as long as you're paying for it. In that case, look up classes that...

  4. rejection is making me lost

    JackieBRCC replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to a community college, and they take the top 60 applicants every year, into their RN program. So it depends on the quality of the other applicants. The lowest GPA I've heard of making it into...

  6. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Oh cool! Yeah, I wouldn't have much use for two of the frames. But I do plan on getting more inserts to go with my black

    You don't like it? I like that color

  8. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Hey, I'm not sure how I missed your post. What did you decide to get? The Business backpack looks awesome, I love all the compartments. I hope it isn't too heavy though. It just depends on what...

  9. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    That is probably because it isn't something you see everyday. I had been shopping for a rolling bag for weeks, and when I first saw it, I thought it was refreshing to see something so different! I...

  10. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Me too! I'll warn you, the Zuca isn't as big as everyone is trying to make it out to be (rolling orificenal, not being able to fit in classrooms...baer). I don't have my nursing books yet, so let me...

  11. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    JackieBRCC replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    Man, that sounds rough. I'm so sorry you are going through that. You should keep fighting it. God will pull you through it. Be the first of your race to graduate in 5 years. Break that stigma!...

  14. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    JackieBRCC replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    I'm only taking Nursing Fundamentals this Fall. I have all my other non-nursing classes. My schedule seems pretty light. Mon & Wed 1:30p-3:20p, and Thur & Fri 8a-12p. Off on

    Whoa, that's a load! Good for you, and good luck this

  16. Nursing school as a single mom of twins?

    JackieBRCC replied to skybluepink02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you, and I say go for it! I don't have any children yet, but my husband and I have been trying for almost 5 years. We're going through fertility treatments that could lead to multiples, but...

  17. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

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

    Ha! I have to laugh at this post. My husband is a political science professor. I'm so glad my school doesn't require it! My least favorite pre-req was statistics, by far! I don't even want to hear...

  18. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Me too! I start August 13th, and I'm soooo excited! My friend, who is a nurse, said "hold on to that excitement because it will fade quickly".

  19. Anatomy....................Anatomy................ .....Anatomy :) Advice, please!

    JackieBRCC replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Students

    I bought those quarter sized poster boards. They usually come in packs of 4. I used those to make "flash cards", but it was more like highly detailed drawings, labeled and listed characteristics...

  20. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    Is that supposed to be sarcastic? 1.) I don't have any actual nursing books yet; and 2.) I was just testing the width of the bag, and knew most people would be able to get a good idea of the width of...

  21. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    JackieBRCC replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    In the main compartment, a book can lay flat and stack, but only if it is about the size of an 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Binders and science texts books would be too wide to stack. I tested it out...

  22. BRCC's Nursing Program

    JackieBRCC replied to debbie54's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I don't blame you for being upset. I am guessing that when you first inquired about going to BRCC, and was told you had a chance of being accepted, the administrators didn't realize that they would...

  23. Struggles with finding a nursing job....

    JackieBRCC replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New Grads are being hired where I live. There are SO many different areas you could work, are you sure you aren't being too picky? I personally know 2 nurse managers who are always talking about...

  24. Did you wait long?

    JackieBRCC replied to Lilli-Anna's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't use a waiting list either. Congrats on being the top candidate when you applied! I was the #2 candidate when I applied, with a 4.0 GPA and a 95 on the HESI A2 exam. Sometimes I...

  25. Did you wait long?

    JackieBRCC replied to Lilli-Anna's topic in General Students

    I was admitted the first time I applied. I did, however, wait 2 years to apply because I wanted to take ALL the other classes I need for my degree. I didn't want to have to be taking something...
