  1. GRE Prep?

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

    The GRE has changed a bit since I took it but the most challenging part is the vocab. I'd look into books where you can increase your vocab as well as understand components of words to infer...

  2. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    Yeah, ours is worth 50. Truth be told, I'd have an A even if I skipped the research paper but

  3. UMSON Spring 2013

    leenak replied to eodenwal's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It looks like they have started to populate the calendar with Information sessions. I plan to go to one at the end of this month at Shady Grove. One thing that I really wonder about is with...

  4. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    Our final is tomorrow. I know I aced the lab final. The small research paper we had to do is done. And I'm confidant that I will do well on the

  5. UVA Advice Needed!

    leenak replied to slion2012's topic in Virginia Nursing

    One thing you should be aware of since it sounds like you still have pre-reqs to do is that community colleges out here cost more than California. I live in MD and I pay $560 per science pre-req. I...

  6. A and P over 7 weeks during summer

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

    Generally, there is a test every week. I am taking Chem in the summer and working full

  7. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    leenak replied to KAC123's topic in Chamberlain College

    Actually, they wouldn't. They would only transfer to schools in the same accreditation, which means for-profit institutions. So for anybody that wants to continue on later with their education, I'd be...

  8. UVA Advice Needed!

    leenak replied to slion2012's topic in Virginia Nursing

    There is someone that works at UVA that posts on the boards, hopefully they will provide details as well. Have you considered applying to schools in the area and not necessarily Charlottesville? I...

  9. Help! I'm so confused...

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

    Do you have other community colleges in your area that offer evening/weekend classes? If you are a writer, it seems like you might have some flexibility in hours? Perhaps work out a plan with your...

  10. Problem with ADN program at Fauquier Campus of Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC)

    leenak replied to Hacness's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I looked it up and apparently this provisional status has been granted for a while. Although generally a community college will work to meet the requirements, it is worrisome that this isn't the...

  11. I am a pre- nursing, looking to get into Pediatric Nursing...

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

    I think you have to have a heart of gold to work with babies and children that are sick. I'm open to being any time of nurse but I personally like the idea of working with critically ill children. I...

  12. Get my BSN or Direct-Entry MSN?

    leenak replied to HesterPrynne123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I should've clarified in that I was referring to federal loans. You can still get federal loans for a second degree BSN programs but the limits are less. For a BSN, your yearly limit is $12.5k, but...

  13. Frederick Memorial Hospital

    leenak replied to simplyblessed's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm excited about the Germantown Holy Cross. Even if they have agreements with Montgomery college, they will need graduates from

  14. UVA - BSN (as a second degree?)

    leenak posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know UVA has a Second Degree MSN/CNL program but has anyone gone to UVA to get a BSN with a prior BSN? I plan to contact the school as well but was wondering if anyone had any experience with...

  15. UMSON Spring 2013

    leenak replied to eodenwal's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am. I'm bummed because one of my professors who wrote me a recommendation last time isn't responding to my email. I hope she is just busy. I don't think she would blow me off on purpose because...

  16. Entry-level MSN NP programs

    leenak replied to codeblue222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a ton of programs out there. Off the top of my head, I can think of Yale, UPenn and Vanderbilt. If you have google, I'm sure you can find more

  17. GWU ABSN Fall 2012

    leenak replied to southeRNgirl185's topic in General Nursing

    I decided against applying in the fall but I will be applying in the spring. I currently live in MD and if I go to GW, I'd go around the other way and use the metro to get to DC. We're most of the...

  18. Advice for getting into Nursing School (second career)

    leenak replied to HesterPrynne123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't take a class over that you got a B in. You don't NEED all A's but the more A's you have, the more competitive you are as an

  19. Non nursing GPA & nursing GPA?

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

    It would really be your science pre-req gpa or your nursing school pre-req GPA. Most nursing programs will look more heavily at your science courses. Some of them will look at all the specific...

  20. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I just added ethics to my summer schedule although I'm not sure if I'm keeping it. I will be traveling the first week of (online) classes. Generally not a big deal because I'll be taking a laptop...

  21. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    leenak replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    For those that are in the program, do you like it? I've seen so many mixed reviews. I'm hoping that I'll get into a school for the spring of 2013 but if not, I'd consider Marymount for Fall. It...

  22. Which route??

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

    Well it sounds like the person at Kaplan did their job in selling you a program you didn't need. If your goal is to get some experience and work while in nursing school, I'd see if any of your...

  23. Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I think the labs in micro are great as you become a microbe detective. In general, you learn about all sorts of microbes and you learn about various bacteria and viruses that can affect us. You...

  24. Cheapest decent stethoscope?

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

    Considering that you can spend hundreds of dollars on a stethoscope, $50 seems pretty cheap. The ones I've seen recommended for nursing students are the Littmann Classic 2 but it looks to be in the...

  25. Topics covered in Anatomy and Physiology

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

    i found this site the other day when someone else asked a question about a&p http://www.iteachbio.com/anatomy-physiology/anat-phys.html that is almost my a&p1 class exactly from the human body...
