  1. Help!!! Psychology Human and Growth Development difficulty?

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

    I thought this was one of the easiest classes I took. Having said that, we had a quiz every class. We had 8 mini papers (2-3 pages each) as well as a larger (7-8 page) paper. We had 4 or 5 tests...

  2. Chemistry for Liberal Arts or General Chemistry?

    leenak replied to SBJ1044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of the BSN programs in my area dont require Chem but the one I wanted to apply to requires general chem 1. So I just did that. General chem is usually a more flexible class in that it fulfills...

  3. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    Good luck on the wedding SopranoKris! I was finishing up my MS when I got married and it definitely was hectic. Our semester is offically over (I think?). I am getting an A in Chemistry. It was a...

  4. UMSON Spring 2013

    leenak replied to eodenwal's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know it is rough SB113 but all you can do is tweak and try again. Did you get any feedback on your application? Anything you could do to improve your chances? I'm nervous, I really want to go to...

  5. I'm so confused, which school do I go to?!

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

    It isn't private institutions that are the issue usually, it is the for-profit schools. Generally, they have their own accrediting body which isn't accepted by other institutions. That isn't to say...

  6. I'm so confused, which school do I go to?!

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

    Well as always with for-profit schools, proceed with caution. Understand the future limitations that will be placed upon you and the fact that you are paying a

  7. Nursing Major in Doubt...

    leenak replied to Lil.B.1490's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well my first advice would be to stop drinking and driving. Secondly, did you miss classes due to the DUIs or other reasons? I would recommend that you retake the classes you got Cs and work on...

  8. Chemistry I & II as A Term/B Term - Wise?

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

    yeah, that looks to be a basic chem course, equivalent to HS chem. I'm in a general chemistry course now (over 6 weeks) and it covers all those topics of your 1/2 and a few more things as well. So...

  9. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    And that is your choice but you should also realize that you may not even be interviewed by the manager first. You may be interviewed by an HR person. For the company I worth with now, my initial...

  10. A&P 1 Summer 2012 Check In

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

    I took AP1 last semester and our school uses minimal dissection. Honestly, unless you plan to go into cat surgery, it probably isn't that valuable. We did do cow eyeballs and sheep brain but mostly...

  11. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it is the fact that those before you have caused a bad reputation. It is disturbing to me to see the number of students that can't be with their iPhones or what not for 5 minutes, even during...

  12. Pharmacology & Pathophysiology

    leenak replied to abc9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So since you mentioned accredited schools, are you concerned specifically about the classes being able to transfer to any school or just Chamberlain? Chamberlain isn't accredited in the sense that...

  13. Chemistry I & II as A Term/B Term - Wise?

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

    Is it intro to chem or is it gen chem? Intro to chem is generally equivalent to HS Chem and some schools may require it prior to taking Gen chem. Also, if your nursing program requires gen chem,...

  14. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I'm freaking a little. Our school is closed due to the storms. We have no email communication with the teacher. I do have his phone number but I don't know if I'll be able to take my final. So...

  15. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

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

    Actually, I don't think you know until you try. Math, for instance, is something that some people get frustrated at easily. So many people don't think they are smart at math. There are different...

  16. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

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

    You are trying to state that nursing is a vocational degree which seems to be partially true but partially not. Historically, vocational degrees were meant to teach you just what you needed to learn...

  17. Where should I go to take pre-quisite?(and more questions)

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

    1) Take any pre-requisites at any community college. If you have a BS/BA already, you generally won't have to take any exams to take classes. You would just have to sign up for the school, send them...

  18. Human Development and A&P II in a semester is this EXTREME???

    leenak replied to inquiringRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked 50 hours week and took Human Development and Microbiology together. Human Development was really easy and Micro wasn't too challenging. I imagine it wouldn't be much

  19. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This isn't about 'these kids these days'. Also in terms of changing goal posts, we had email 20 years ago so you'd still get emails from teachers and oh you were expected to check your email even if...

  20. Digital Recording - Helpful or Time Consuming?

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

    Oh I don't think there is anything wrong with recording but personally I don't have anything to record with. I also only jot down notes in class, my real writing comes after class. Usually by either...

  21. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Throwing out tests completely is crazy and one of the classes I had did that. I do remember some classes curving in my undergrad but it was more a technique for laziness on their part. If everyone...

  22. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just because you know how to write well and proof read doesn't mean that there isn't a change that is very noticeable. I'm not quite old enough to be your parent (biologically yes but...), but I...

  23. Digital Recording - Helpful or Time Consuming?

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

    I've been through 1 BS degree, 1 MS degree, a few classes here and there and now nursing pre-reqs, I've never recorded anything. It is interesting that I figured out writing is the best way for me...

  24. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    leenak replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well I am surprised by the people who will text the entire class. I haven't really experienced it because I've been in classes with mostly older, working adults until I got into my current summer...

  25. What is the best computer to have for school?

    leenak replied to bamwife06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you were going to look at windows based systems, I'd recommend looking at Asus. I've heard good things about them but never owned them.I've had 2 high-end HPs (between my husband and myself) that...
