  1. A&P and Animals?

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

    I'm an animal lover and a vegan. I did cats in high school A&P many years ago. They were cats set to be put down at shelters. It is a shame that there is such an overpopulation but I'd rather...

  2. Microbiology without Chem?

    leenak replied to bmh1992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school doesn't require chem but there is a chapter on chem and undestanding bonds, charges, etc helps somewhat. You could also look to see if there is a chem for dummies book you could buy to...

  3. Extremely low GPA any hopes of getting into a nursing program

    leenak replied to mommy2anAFbrat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2nd degree BSN programs will look at your previous degree gap and that gap won't cut it for those. Other programs may be more forgiving. I'd actually try talking to the schools

  4. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    leenak replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Micro test was on Monday and it was easy! I had stressed about it a lot and thought this was going to be a hard

  6. How do you retake classes exactly?

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

    There are direct MSN programs for those that have an existing Bachelors but what they really are is the second degree BSN program is your first year of the MSN. You may or may not get a BSN in these...

  7. Pre-med or Nursing?I'd like 2 be a doctor but know being a nurse is more realistic.

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

    When I decided to pursue nursing, I also looked into med school options. It is a long, hard road. My ultimate decision came down to the fact that med students seem miserable and a lot of the older...

  8. Teas (4 or 5) prior to A&P?

    leenak posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be applying to schools for the Fall 2012 school year. I plan to take A&P over spring and summer. One of the schools I am applying to requires the teas but it needs to be one by february....

  9. Teas (4 or 5) prior to A&P?

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

    I only have science classes to take and I'm taking 1 class per semester (well this semester is Micro + human development). Its just how things align with me applying to school. I'm sure I'll do fine...

    leenak replied to sbishop4455's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    I'm not a mother but my husband went to law school and had the same issue. He liked the work ok but didn't love it. He went for a different career and loves it. I'm in a position where i make a...

  12. Pre- Requisite Courses

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

    Where are you located? I've seen my cc in Marland offer it but due to out of state costs, it'd be around $1500 to take it. (and we are already in the 3rd week of school) If you look at the CCs in...

  13. Career changers? What is your previous degree in? What was your previous career?

    leenak replied to spore2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BS in Computer Science, MS in Information systems. I work in Information Security. I'm tired of working behind a desk all day and I like working with people. I've always had an interest in medical...

  14. should I quit my well paying job of 43,000 a year to go to nursing school

    leenak replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone is different and being a single mom, I can imagine it is tough. I'd definitely look for a night time job. Are you taking nursing classes or pre-reqs? I'm working a full time day job that...

  15. I am becoming more discourage

    leenak replied to K.S.T's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The economy is tough all around. I know many new grads in various fields and none of them are finding jobs. I know someone who graduated with an ASN recently and it took her 9 months to find a job...

  16. gpa goal

    leenak replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would depend. Are you talking about private or for-profit? For-profit schools tend to be very lax. Private schools with a good reputation tend to have higher requirements, I've seen 3.0 minimum...

  17. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    leenak replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    I like where I live quite a bit but I'm not sure it'd be my 100% ideal location and I'm willing to give it up just to try something new elsewhere. I don't think though that you could pay me enough to...

  21. Community College? You must be stupid.

    leenak replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    My BS (not BSN) required a year of a second language. Personally, I don't feel that a every class you take for a BS should directly apply to your future career. BS degrees aren't vocational degrees...

  22. If accepted to R.N and P.A school, which would you pick?

    leenak replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    It depends what you want to do. I've read quite a bit on the PA forums and I've decided that being a PA is not what I'd want to do. A couple things that have gone into that consideration 1) There are...

    leenak replied to ysin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    leenak replied to momofnursetobe's topic in School, College Programs
