  1. Anatomy Physiology Spring 2012

    leenak replied to trulyblessed2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting AP1 in less than 2 weeks! A or bust is my motto. I ordered my book online but apparently the lab package is something school specific. Our school has a 10% discount day so I'm going to...

  2. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks! My biggest concern is finding a place but as I have a car (although I might get rid of it), I can be a bit more flexible in where I live. I'm hoping to live within the Baltimore city limits...

    leenak replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 2 prerequisites left, AP 1&2. I start AP1 on January 24th. I'm looking forward to it

  4. 2nd degree BSN - Low GPA

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

    Is there a particular reason your GPA is so low? Especially in the pre-reqs? Generally, pre-req GPA is an indicator of how well you'd do in nursing school which is why there are few schools that...

  5. pre-reqs how much would it cost and how long in CC

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

    Well California subsidizes its higher education heavily including community college so the answer would be different for California than Maryland where I'm at. For my first choice school, I needed to...

  6. Paying for college?

    leenak replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you talked to the financial aid office? There are scholarships, grants, etc out there. When I first went to college, I funded it through working, grants and loans. For my BSN, I've saved up...

  7. biology 1?

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

    On the first day of Microbiology, we were expected to know how to use a microscope. I hadn't used a microscope in many years and taking Biology not only helped lay the foundation for Microbiology but...

  8. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My application should be complete this week and I think we find out in March or

  9. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you could, I'd suggest attending one of the open houses. We went this past weekend and the students said they felt like their brains were fried the first semester. Classes are 8am to 5pm M-F. I...

  10. I want to be a CRNA so what!!!

    leenak replied to NursingN.C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think life is too short to not follow your dreams. I haven't really seen any negative posts about CRNAs but in general, Nursing seems like the wrong field to get into if someone is doing it 'for...

  11. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

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

    Is anyone out there?! :) I went to the open house on the 7th and it was great. I know I'm putting all my eggs in one basket but JHU is the only school I'm applying to for the Fall semester. I hope...

  12. Question about taking Chemistry

    leenak replied to Sarah812's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of the BSN programs I'm looking at don't require Chem but a few do. Also, most don't require an entrance exam either. It seems in various classes, you get a review of chem concepts for the...

  13. Pre-requisite question

    leenak replied to Weezy24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a year of Chem nearly 15 years ago but it wasn't a requirement for any of the classes I'm taking nor is it a requirement for the school I'm applying to. I did buy a book to refresh my memory...

  14. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    FNPHopeful - The one thing I've heard about JHU is they do have more options for abroad than other places but that is just what I've read. If you look on their site, you can see blogs of current...

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats

  16. George Washington University ABSN?

    leenak posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'd really like to hear from anyone currently in the program or possibly graduated. I had written them off so had not signed up to take Ethics. I'm considering applying and put myself on wait list...

  17. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh and I'm currently in IT for a large corporation. Basically I sit in a cubicle all day long providing support to people and advising them on IT related subjects. I like the people, I like when the...

  18. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh my gosh, I know I saw some people discussing shopping therapy. I felt bad because Sephora just sent me an email welcoming me as a VIB *gulp*. Plenty of shopping therapy going on. ALXiong - I just...

  19. NVCC Hum/Fine Arts Elective

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

    Are you talking about Northern Virginia Community college? I don't remember a fine arts requirement when I did my undergrad but I had taken classes that qualified. Northern Virginia CC has an...

  20. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congratulations!! I am busy putting my application together for the January 15th regular decision due date. Lots to do before now and

  21. Chem Finals

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

    I got an A in Micro and an A in Human Development. I walked into my Micro final yesterday with a high A in the class and I rocked the final. I know I'm in the minority in my class

  22. 2.0 Science gpa (anat, physio and micro) but 3.3 gpa overall

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

    I don't know of any legitimate program that would let you in with that science GPA. Most schools I've looked at require a 3.0 science GPA and the reason being is your nursing classes are based on...

  23. NVCC Grads---Hired?

    leenak replied to LawyerRN2b's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know a couple people who graduated there within the past few years and I'd say their experiences weren't as favorable including it took them quite a few months to find full time work and it didn't...

  24. George Washington University ABSN?

    leenak replied to leenak's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well I figured since their nursing school is in Ashburn, maybe people would look at Virginia although there is a thread that I posted there. Also, if anyone has any insights on the commute from MD to...

  25. Accelerated or Traditional BSN?

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

    I'm applying to nursing schools with zero, zip, nada in terms of healthcare experience, unless you count what I did many, many, many years ago. The schools I've talked to say they have many...
