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

    NewSN13 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    I'm so thankful that we don't have an all white uniform policy! Our uniform policy is fairly liberal compared to most. We have a couple of brands to choose from and within those brands, our tops...

  2. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

    NewSN13 replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students

    I think you have good advice but I have to respectfully disagree about not retaining the material! I took both semesters of A&P last summer - 5 weeks each for each semester - and got As. I just...

  3. Looking for current info on BSU application process and experience

    NewSN13 replied to IrishMama's topic in General Nursing

    BSU, compared to a lot of schools I've read about here on allnurses, has a really straightforward application process - no entrance exams, no letters of recommendation, no interviews - basically you...

  4. GPA for BSU's nursing program?

    NewSN13 replied to duyvo23's topic in General Nursing

    Yay that people are posting here, first of all! Second, all of what IrishMama said was spot on as far as the application process. GPA in the classes listed is the ONLY thing they've been considering....

  5. B.S. Business but wanting nursing now

    NewSN13 replied to Crystal5308's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HouTx has good advice. Something for you to consider along with LVN vs. RN is traditional vs. accelerated. Many schools offer accelerated BSN programs for people with previous degrees. Most are...

  6. Online Anatomy & Physiology?? (accredited!)

    NewSN13 replied to Lynn829's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second Rio Salado. I took a non-science course there so I don't know specifics about their A&P, which they do offer, but classes start every Monday so it's super flexible schedule wise. The...

  7. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

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

    Count me as a "no," too. The BSN program I start in the fall doesn't require it and doesn't consider it or give any preference for

  8. Should I get a summer job before I start NS in the fall?

    NewSN13 replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I just filled out a volunteer application at a local hospital! I figured it would be a great way to get some time in the hospital setting as well being more flexible with my kids' summer

  9. A&P1 online over summer..

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

    I think it's highly individual. I know people who have taken it online during a short summer session and have been successful (ie gone on to take courses like patho that rely heavily on your previous...

  10. First AP1 class....

    NewSN13 replied to lindsayk728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I took A&P last summer a few years after getting my first degree. I was nervous going back and initially overwhelmed, too. Our professor provided a guided lecture outline before...

  11. How to get into nursing school with low GPA

    NewSN13 replied to lr520's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to look around and see what programs are basing their decisions on! I graduated with my previous degree with right around a 3.0 (maybe a 2.98?). I had to submit my transcripts from my...

  12. where to take A/P II online? help please

    NewSN13 replied to juddson_p's topic in General Students

    I took a non-science online course from Rio Salado but I just checked and they do offer an online A&P II w/lab (Bio 202). The nice thing about Rio Salado is that courses start every Monday. You...

  13. I someone to motivate me! Im getting to discouaraged..

    NewSN13 replied to Kathy Morales's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to find how and what the programs you want to get into look at. More than likely, to have a shot at nursing school, you'll need better than a D in chemistry and you'll also need the...

  14. Need ideas ONLY for controversial problems or issues on today's college campuses

    NewSN13 replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Students

    My campus is smoke free. But it hasn't been without controversy. It might be interesting to see how many colleges are considering or have already banned smoking and some of the issues such a ban...

  15. I got in! NOW the fun begins!

    NewSN13 replied to KatieJ91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I understand where you're coming from! The relief and excitement were quickly replaced by "Oh gosh, I have a TON of stuff to do!" I'm trying to stay organized and not freak out too much...

  16. Summer I & II A&P - 12 weeks into 5 (per smstr) Smart Idea? Or wast of Money?

    NewSN13 replied to Mxgrl124's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both semesters of A&P last summer and it worked out really well for me. BUT this is also my second degree so I have plenty of experience with what works for me and what doesn't. If you're...

  17. Totally Online Spanish Courses

    NewSN13 replied to SMOKEY2112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Spanish 202 through Rio Salado (part of the Maricopa Community College system in Phoenix). Loved it. You can start whenever and for that particular class, it was work at your own pace....

  18. Crap...now what?

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

    Are you applying to a BSN program? If so, you will have plenty of opportunity to show that you can handle upper level course work. While A&P (a 200 level course at my university) is an important...

  19. Private School VS Community College

    NewSN13 replied to Francine Reed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this. I am also in an area where the hospitals won't hire grads from the for-profit schools (including Carrington). Unfortunately, many students in these programs don't find this out until...

  20. Cultural Anthropology or Human Development Psych.

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

    My BSN program requires a developmental psych class and a sociology or anthropology class. If you're worried about having time for chemistry without your other classes being too much of a distration,...

  21. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

    NewSN13 replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mamba49, I get what you're saying but for selection purposes, most schools rely on a system to quantify the applicants. It would be great if they look at the whole package (and some do) but when some...

  22. Fearful, excited, and nervous about starting nursing school need some advice.

    NewSN13 replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    I like this thread! I will be starting in the fall, too, and I have a lot of the same fears. It's great to hear from someone who's been there, done that that it's not as bad as we hear! Something...

  23. Online Medical Terminology course?

    NewSN13 replied to xohaileyyyx3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hailey, You could always try a website like www.ratemyprofessor.com and see what other students have said about your summer school professors to get an idea but I think if you did fine in an online...

  24. Online Medical Terminology course?

    NewSN13 replied to xohaileyyyx3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an online med term class this semester. Like you, I just needed another class and wanted something that would be pretty easy and it definitely fits the bill! I took both semesters of A&P...

  25. Anyone have an instructor that was TOO EASY?

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

    Saysfaa has great advice. I just wanted to add that I took my chemistry course after both semesters of A&P. The chemistry knowledge that was required for A&P was really basic and adequately...
