  1. College chemistry difficulty level?

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

    I think the answer is 'it depends'. I'm taking a shortened college chemistry course over the summer and last time I took chemistry was 15 years ago? The community college I'm taking pre-reqs at...

  2. Pre-class study ideas for A&P?

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

    You can start reading your book and answering questions at the back of the chapter. I bought a coloring book but I never touched

  3. My Advice for Getting into Nursing School

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

    Actually, I've seen other posts where people have warned about nursing. I can understand someone burning

  4. UVM or APU for Master's Entry Program?

    leenak replied to chiflavored's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Personally, my only concern with APU would be the religious affiliation (which may or may not be your concern). Are you doing the direct entry programs because those seem vastly different? With...

  5. Career CNA's... What do you think?

    leenak replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if its snobbish but your reality is not the reality of others. Although there are people with obstacles, some of them may have kids, may be single parents, may be taking care of a sick...

  6. How many much older (40+) students out there starting classes? (I'm 47)

    leenak replied to nursingstudent3109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Linda, that is what my A&P teacher said. She prefers teaching night classes because the students tend to be older and more

  7. How many much older (40+) students out there starting classes? (I'm 47)

    leenak replied to nursingstudent3109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm turning 37 this month. There are a lot of older students in my pre-reqs. I've been working in IT for 14 years and I desperately need a change. It is scary but exciting.I'm with you watashi. I...

  8. I'm never gonna make it!

    leenak replied to dsy89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was this a community college? There are different pathways to becoming an RN. Does the school have an LVN/LPN program? Are there other community colleges in the area? Can you repeat any classes...

  9. Question on Statistics GPA

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

    How are you getting a 2.8 in statistics? Not a B-? I'd ask the schools you are applying to but generally, I've seen the sciences weighted more heavily but they require a 3.0 in specific nursing...

  10. LACCD Pierce College won't take my cal state university Anatomy class!

    leenak replied to scionra's topic in California Nursing

    I'm guessing your anatomy class didn't have a lab? Every pre-req list I've seen show a 4 unit Anatomy course is

  11. Accelerated programs

    leenak replied to ixchel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know about ADN to MSN programs but generally the nonRN to MSN-CNL programs are full 2 years. The nonRN to MSN-NP are generally 3 to 4 years. They are generally jam packed but they also don't...

  12. Difference between LVN school and ADN school

    leenak replied to OBplease's topic in LPN to RN

    I think you could probably get an idea at looking at an LVN to RN program. I tried researching and it looks like it might be a year (3 semesters)? Here is an example of one: MiraCosta College -...

  13. How to get a good score on the TEAS test?

    leenak replied to dsy89's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm considering taking it at the end of the month and I just cracked open the study guide last night. I'll say I'm kind of surprised how basic the questions seem.With any standardized test, you are...

  14. Need advice Nurse or Doctor

    leenak replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Nursing Career

    There are post-bacc programs for those that want to go to med school. I'd definitely look into those. From someone who is her mid 30s pursuing a major career change, I say follow your dreams. You...

  15. Accelerated BSN Program help

    leenak replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in General Students

    cbrubaker - I'd talk to the various schools and look at their websites, you can generally get an idea. Johns Hopkins is one that seems especially focused on community health but they aren't the only...

  16. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    leenak replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well in terms of pre-reqs, you aren't actually in the program yet. I've seen policies from various schools saying the first grade only counts (you get an F, then an A, the F is what they are going to...

  17. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    I thought Micro was a great class and I liked it a lot better than

  18. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    leenak posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! How is everyone doing? Our semester started later than most so we are having our first test tomorrow. I know many of you have already had your first test, how did you do? We have a test...

  19. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    leenak replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A school will generally list specifically their pre-reqs. I have a 4.0 in my nursing pre-reqs which includes AP1, Micro, Nutrition, Statistics, and Human Development. The school doesn't necessarily...

  20. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

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

    Yeah, I think the OP just needs a bit of research. Someone with a degree may be able to apply as an equivalent to a Junior transfer student or do an ABSN. I'm applying to a 2 year program which is...

  21. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

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

    Cerriwin - We are talking about programs for those that already have degrees. If you already have a degree, you don't need lower level classes. There are programs like yours for those first...

  22. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    We had our final on Thursday and I know I did well on it. There were a couple questions where I thought the answer could go one way or another. Anyway, grade posted today with an A. With only 1...

  23. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

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

    I don't think men are more likely to get into nursing schools than women. If you do well in your pre-reqs, you shouldn't have an issue getting into a school. Volunteer work may help as well. If for...

  24. My experience with Anatomy/Physiology 1&2 online

    leenak replied to Sundance71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken online classes but I prefer classroom classes for the sciences at least. I've also been explicitly told by a couple schools that they don't accept online classes for their science...

  25. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

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

    That is a possibility but you won't know until you try. Nursing schools are very competitive right now which is why they want you to have at least some pre-reqs done before applying. You'll generally...
