  1. I feel like I have failed myself; I need some helpppp.

    NewSN13 replied to jessicax221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your first step needs to be to talk to an advisor. Schools and nursing programs vary a lot in how they look at retakes, if they allow them at all. Some schools will replace the first grade...

  2. Going shopping for school supplies tomorrow

    NewSN13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I feel so dumb that the sticky flags never occured to me! I'm always stuffing pens/pencils or random papers into books and notes to mark important spots. I'm adding it to my last minute shopping...

  3. work load

    NewSN13 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    We don't really have much choice. For our first semester in the program, for example, we have 18 credits. There is a 4 credit co-req, pathophysiology, that can be taken before starting in the...

  4. Your thoughts on Hybrid A&P physiology classes?

    NewSN13 replied to Eccp19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took patho last semester as a hybrid. The way it works here is that there is an option for students to attend a live lecture that is also broadcast on a cable channel. It's also recorded and put...

  5. So bummed & frustrated

    NewSN13 replied to Nato408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, I'm sorry you're going through this. My husband just finished his degree at University of Phoenix and while his experience was a good one, I was watching the whole process like a hawk....

  6. What type of school did you choose for nursing?

    NewSN13 replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose a public university. It's cheap (relatively), it's a great program and it's a BSN. In my area, there is one CC that offers an ADN. They have a four semester sequence but in order to be...

  7. BSN Pre-Reqs

    NewSN13 replied to HonnyBrown's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're taking community college classes in the same state as the BSN program you're applying to and if that BSN program is offered at a state (public) university, there is most likely a transfer...

  8. Nursing school or social life... Can't I have both?

    NewSN13 replied to Kayla34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the traditional college thing my first time around. While I wasn't a nursing student then, I had sorority sisters that were nursing students. Of girls in my pledge class or a class ahead of or...

  9. What's up with the proposal for req. for Bachelor for RN?

    NewSN13 replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    Don't get discouraged! I'm not sure about online classes at CWI but BSU has a ton. I already have a BA so that cut down on the number of classes I needed but I took psych 101, growth and...

  10. Short semester A&P, kicking myself in the tush!!

    NewSN13 replied to Plasticgloworm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a flashcard kind of girl and I just kept mine with me at all times! That way, I could squeeze in a few minutes here and there to study. For example, I'd drag mine out every time we hopped in the...

  11. What color is your uniform?

    NewSN13 replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    We get a couple of different brands to choose from and within those brands, we can choose any style of pants and tops. Pants are navy blue and tops are ciel blue. I went scrub shopping with one of...

  12. What's up with the proposal for req. for Bachelor for RN?

    NewSN13 replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    Here's the info on NLNAC candidacy: "Candidacy status does not guarantee that a program will achieve full accreditation, which is granted by the Commission after a full accreditation review including...

  13. What's up with the proposal for req. for Bachelor for RN?

    NewSN13 replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    I don't think there will be any changes to licensing requirements any time soon. However, depending on where you want to work, getting a degree from a technical school could be limiting. I've heard...

  14. Should I just suck it up and take out loans for a private school?

    NewSN13 replied to supremekizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just watched "College Inc." on Netflix and completely agree that it is a much watch! There is also an excellent sticky on this forum about NLNAC and CCNE accreditation. I've heard a few horror...

  15. What nursing schools will ask of you immediately after your accepted

    NewSN13 replied to deitiphobia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Again, this varies with program. I am covered under my university's Student Professional Liability insurance policy for Clinical Medical Practicum

  16. What can I do to study for A&P 1&2?

    NewSN13 replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice BEFORE class starts is to not worry about it too much! The worst part of A&P for me was all of doom and gloom I heard about how difficult it was and I was a couple of tests into...

  17. What nursing schools will ask of you immediately after your accepted

    NewSN13 replied to deitiphobia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My program's requirements are different. 1. Shot records are perfectly acceptable for measels, mumps, rubella and varicella. If records are not available, then titers must be done. We aren't...

  18. Worried about fall schedule....

    NewSN13 replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think maybe it's best to focus on what you really need at this point. A&P, micro, algebra and sociology are going to provide a nice, full schedule. Even though the additional online classes...

  19. Are "pre-reqs" really pre-reqs? and more...

    NewSN13 replied to EGagnon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    EGagnon, congrats on your decision to look into nursing! It sounds like you've noticed that there are a million different ways to go about nursing school and part of that stems from the different...

  20. What do you listen to while studying

    NewSN13 replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    I study to cable news! I chalk it up to the need to be up on current events while I was getting my first degree in political science. I always had the news on so now anything else just feels...

  21. Geezzz..the wait on accepantace/denial for NS

    NewSN13 replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh, the wait is the worst! I applied mid January and got my acceptance mid April. I think those were some scary months for my mail lady! Good luck to those still

  22. New Chamberlain Campus in Houston

    NewSN13 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Being approved by the State Board of Nursing and being accredited are two different things. Being accredited by either the NLNAC or CCNE means that a program has demonstrated competencies in many...

  23. New Chamberlain Campus in Houston

    NewSN13 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Chamberlain is owned by DeVry Inc. and is definitely a for-profit school. The Houston campus is not accredited, either, so that's another "cost" to factor

  24. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

    NewSN13 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    I have one of these tops. I love it. So many of the tops were boxy and unflattering but this one is cute but functional and

  25. Decisions Decisions....

    NewSN13 replied to lovelyb26's topic in General Students

    I'm wondering what the reasoning is behind getting a degree in another field before getting a degree in nursing is. If I knew the first time around that I wanted to be a nurse, and more importantly,...
