  1. Pre-aceptance to Nursing program? do they exists? how to?

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

    There are a couple options: 1) Freshman entry programs - You are accepted into the nursing program as a freshman as long as you get a certain GPA, you will continue into the nursing program 2) Early...

  2. New to this forum and need help please

    leenak replied to Cannova93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I'd recommend is possibly look into volunteering at a crisis prevention center. Talk to the people there and see what type of education is required. A psychiatric nurse would be good but there...

  3. Paying for school??

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

    Not everyone can do what I plan to do but I will be self-paying. No kids, living off my husband's income and paying for school with the savings I've

  4. Shocked by new grads at job fair

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

    Well I think the obese statement was uncalled for as well. On your other comments, did you go to a job fair when you graduated? Were students like that then? I'm coming from a completely different...

  5. Finish my Bachelors while waiting for nursing admission?

    leenak replied to Sartorius1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it could possibly mess up your financial aid but you'd have to see how it might impact you. Also, some nursing schools won't accept those with a BS already so ensure that the schools you are...

  6. Online Courses vs. In Class Courses

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

    One of the schools I'm applying to said specifically they will not accept online science classes but I can't imagine doing those online anyway. I took statistics and nutrition online. With...

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

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

    I just bought a brand new 15" MBP. It is a great machine. Personally, I think for the average nursing-type student, a Macbook Air would probably be one of the best options. Unless you have side...

  8. Question about major change?

    leenak replied to sincerelya1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think overall there is some confusion about second degree nursing programs. They are meant for people, like myself, who went through school and graduated with a BS/BA and then decided to go into...

  9. Anyone registered for Fall 2012 classes yet?

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

    AP2 Ethics And that is the last of my pre-reqs. (I registered for Fall classes back in

  10. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I got another B on my test from yesterday. Would you believe that I marked the scantron wrong for a problem I worked out and had the right problem written on the test? The teacher wouldn't give me...

  11. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    Chem is scaring me but maybe I should relax. If I make a mid to high B on the rest of our tests (2 tests, 1 final), I can get an A in the class. A lot of the points we get dinged for seem pretty...

  12. How to make an A in a 5 week A&P1 class over the summer.

    leenak replied to EMT89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Chem right now and I envy you if you were able to still fit in exercise. My hardest thing was still trying to do normal household chores and cook food for myself and my husband. I wake up...

  13. Nurse practitioner or do

    leenak replied to taytay05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There will always be *******s in the world, that is how it is. Only you can make the decision of DO or NP. If you want to go to nursing school and then apply to DO school, you can do that, you'd just...

  14. Working and Pre-Reqs

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

    I work 40-60 hours/week and I take 1-2 classes per semester. For the past 4 weeks, I've been taking a summer class and the hours are killing me. The class is from 5:30pm to 10pm and we have things...

  15. What to expect in LPN school?

    leenak replied to Kayla<3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LPN/LVN student boards may be a better place to ask LPN / LVN Nursing

  16. How do you think I'm doing for a Pre-Nursing student???

    leenak replied to keithm101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that you might not be ready. You have some challenges and everyone is different but you have to figure out why you are getting such poor grades. Do you not understand the material? Are you...

  17. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    Our last chem test had tons of formulas and I thought I had everything down. I ended up getting the lowest test score since starting my pre-reqs, an 86%. I haven't had a test under 90% in any of my...

  18. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I feel a bit frazzled but that is partly because work is continuing to be crazy while I'm juggling school. I got a 99 on our second test (made a stupid mistake and lost a point, oh well). 3 weeks...

  19. Im worried Online pre-req classes will lower my chances?

    leenak replied to TaraAnn91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually a school will say flat out whether they accept online classes or not. If they accept them, they accept

  20. Do you have a lot of Debt to pay off

    leenak replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    For my first undergrad degree (no parental help), I had 11k in loans for 5 years of school. Those were paid off a few years after I graduated. For my BSN, I'll be paying out of savings so no

  21. College Algebra Summer II... can anyone provide any advice or tips?

    leenak replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had to take college algebra so I can't remember what an algebra course entails but like most math courses, practice is your friend. Work problems out in the book, first without looking at the...

  22. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    The class I'm taking is chem and we have a test every week on 2 chapters. It is tiring because I start work at 8-8:30, get off work at 5, drive to class. Get out of class at 10, go home, do homework...

  23. Nursing Degree? Please help!

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

    That'd be true if she was closer to graduating but with only one year under her belt, to me, it doesnt make sense to spend 3 years in college pursuing a degree you don't

  24. Nursing Degree? Please help!

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

    A BS in biology doesn't buy you anything. I'd start looking at schools around you and see what their pre-reqs are and apply to their BSN programs. You may also want to look at other locations as...

  25. A/S Nursing Program AND Work Full-Time?!?!

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

    I forgot to mention, if you have a higher than 5% mortgage, definitely look into refinancing. We recently refinanced and we could've reduced our monthly payments by $500 but we instead decided to...
