  1. General Biology or Principles of Biology

    leenak replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your best bet is to either talk to a counselor at your school or see if there is an indicate of a difference in the class description. At the school where I'm takin pre-reqs, the lower level biology...

  2. Summer Classes a Good Idea?

    leenak replied to VIMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For any of the schools I've seen, they require all of the non-nursing classes to be taken prior to entering the program. Especially physio and micro. I'd personally say try to knock those classes at...

  3. EKG Tech course while taking Microbiology?

    leenak replied to ValleyChick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, do it. I found Micro to be a fairly easy course even though I was psyched out about it at

  4. PLEAE HELP! Prospective nursing student

    leenak replied to j9199's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I originally went to a state school in CA as well and I stayed on for 2 extra quarters after I was done because well was already funded for the year and I wanted to take extra classes. Have you...

  5. Newbie trying to decide if I should go to private or community school

    leenak replied to J.Juarez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the private college has a matriculation agreement with any of your local community colleges, that would be the best path. They would be able to tell you what classes are equivalent and can...

  6. Newbie trying to decide if I should go to private or community school

    leenak replied to J.Juarez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The choice to have children should be those of you and your partner, not extended family/friends. I understand the pressure as I have a Mexican mother who doesn't approve of my choice to not have...

  7. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    leenak replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins doesn't require Chem but they also don't require '2 lab sciences' at the time of application. One of the students I talked to at the open house for Hopkins had only 2 pre-reqs done at the...

  8. Newbie trying to decide if I should go to private or community school

    leenak replied to J.Juarez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think looking at NCLEX rates is a good idea but they also don't tell the whole story. Attrition rates are also something to look at as well. There are some semantics in private colleges and...

  9. Newbie trying to decide if I should go to private or community school

    leenak replied to J.Juarez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah $65k isn't considered especially high for 4 years of college. There are cheaper alternatives like going to a community college or even going to a public college. You may qualify for financial...

  10. what color uniforms does your school use?

    leenak replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    The school I'm applying for has navy tops/bottoms. 2 other schools I'm considering if I don't get in, one has beige bottoms/white tops and the other has navy bottoms/yellow

  11. Best path to nursing school? Almost have BA in liberal arts...

    leenak replied to mikey_z's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, your BA won't buy you much in general. Your best bet would be to take a CNA course or other quick entry level jobs. Then do pre-reqs at a community college. Unless you are able to stay on...

  12. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    leenak replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    There is another thread right below yours :) https://allnurses.com/md-nursing-programs/maryland-bsn-hopefuls-607579.html There was another thread sometime ago as well. Due to the fact that I'd have...

  13. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

    leenak replied to TESC'10's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If you applied to the BSN-MSN program, there is an interview. I asked at my interview when we would hear and I was told end of February/early

  14. Associate of Arts Degree to BSN?

    leenak replied to HawkNelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you get an AS instead of an AA? Or can you just take general classes? An associates won't really help you other than getting some of the general eds out of the way. If you can do some general...

  15. Essay about suicide

    leenak replied to tlc1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If this were something that happened 10-15 years ago, I'd say go ahead and write it. Although it may touch the admissions committee, it is a fairly recent event and it may bring doubts to their...

  16. Am I "wasting" my time trying to become a RN if I want to get into informatics?

    leenak replied to cubensis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to check out the Nursing Informatics subforum Nursing Informatics - Helping You Be a Better Nurse That program you linked isn't nursing informatics. It is health records management....

  17. Final essay draft, what should be done to make this appealing.

    leenak replied to tlc1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So your essay doesn't flow. Every sentence seems to be statements rather than a flowing essay. I'm guessing you have some guidelines about the essay that you need to write? something like "Explain...

  18. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sorry to hear that dedicated! Now I'm worried but I'll be ok. My undegraduate GPA isn't so great either but we'll just have to

  19. Anatomy and Physiology I

    leenak replied to jdlabadia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually write notes but its because writing is what helps me remember. So writing notes, listening to the lecture at the same time helps me remember. Everyone has their own learning

  20. Georgetown WHC Scholarship discontinued?

    leenak replied to oldmare's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah and you wouldn't even know if you got the scholarship until after being in the program. As far as I can tell, Georgetown is the most expensive program in the area. More than Johns Hopkins and...

  21. Georgetown WHC Scholarship discontinued?

    leenak replied to oldmare's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if you saw my response to your other thread but looks like they replaced it with a $10,000 scholarship, awarded AFTER you are in the program in exchange for 2 years work at the

  22. Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?

    leenak replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Students

    GrnTea - Thanks for the PM :) Sugarshot - If you won't say publically which school, could you PM the school? I know some people have complained about the Columbia program (not mentioned here). A...

  23. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The nursing students I talked to said there is a gym that is pretty nice that you can use for $10/month. Maybe they meant $15 if you got the $180 number? I belong to Ballys although my membership is...

  24. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    How exciting! Since I'm applying for the Fall and I have a summer class that most likely ends the first week of July, if I get accepted, I will be moving mid-July and classes start the end of August...

  25. The False Advertising of For-Profit Institutions

    leenak replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Students

    It seems the hoops you might have to jump through for community colleges occur because they want to make sure you can succeed in their programs before you are accepted. Since the tuition is so cheap,...
