  1. Unsatisfied SAHM with A/A degree wanting to become nurse, immoral to my children?

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

    I think the best thing we can do for our children is make sure that we are happy and fulfilled! I was a SAHM for four years and while I am thankful that I was able to do that, it got to the point...

  2. Moving from pre-nursing into nursing, how are you getting prepared!!

    NewSN13 replied to adorable42181's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen! Although, I just got my letter yesterday and it feels like there is SOOOO much to do. I'm trying to remind myself to breathe, finish out this semester strong - because honestly, now that I'm...

  3. Math is my Enemy..Ugh!

    NewSN13 replied to Tricia76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take advantage of the tutoring! A lot of people have math phobia, especially if they have bad experiences like you did. I know more than a couple of people who were able to overcome that fear and...

  4. Who's still waiting?

    NewSN13 replied to ksm84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting, too. I heard that they were going to "try" to send letters out by Spring Break (which we're on right now) and as of yesterday, there was nothing so I'm trying to focus on something...

  5. My biggest fears

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

    I think a lot of the stuff is a matter of being exposed to it multiple times, in different ways and by different instructors. For me, for example, acid-base balance made no sense to me in A&P....

  6. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    NewSN13 replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cornell belongs to the Ivy League just as Oregon is a Pac-10 school or Kentucky is an SEC school. I think this thread highlights an issue we've probably all struggled with to some extent - how to put...

  7. Playing the waiting game?

    NewSN13 replied to SWingate86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I met with my advisor, a question came up about how something would reflect on my transcript since some of my pre-reqs were covered by my first degree. The answer had something to do with when...

  8. Playing the waiting game?

    NewSN13 replied to SWingate86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SWingate86, it sounds like we're on the same schedule! I applied in January and our deadline was March 1. The official notification time period is May 1 to June 1 but I've heard that they're trying...

  9. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

  10. anyone? micro and/or physio spring 2011?

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

    BeachBedhead, you said that you're a science person so I'll think you'll be fine. You did well in biology so you already have a solid foundation to build on. I'm taking micro this semester and even...

  11. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

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

    I'm in the same boat. I'm driving my family crazy with all of my what-ifs - what if my application gets misplaced (I dropped it off in person and have a receipt for it but still..), what if there is...

  12. Is this a crazy plan? Re: pre-req's

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

    I kind of like the CLEP plan just so you have one less class to worry about it. I've only taken the Spanish and Sociology CLEPs, which were easy, but they are a fantastic way to knock out some...

  13. The Wait is Killing Me!

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

    I'm so sorry I'm late in replying. In my defense, I've had sick kids!!! Anyway, to answer your question, I am a student at and applied to Boise

  14. what is considered a competitive gpa?

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

    The minimum pre-req GPA for the program I'm applying to is 3.0 but I was told that anything below a 3.5 won't get in. They say that anyone with a 3.75+ stands a pretty good chance of getting in but a...

  15. Searching for Essay Help. Original, I know.

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

    I agree, let a grammar/spelling freak look it over. I tried to rework some of the things that jumped out at me - passive voice and that kind of thing - but I'm far from an

  16. Searching for Essay Help. Original, I know.

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

    It's a great start. Check your PM. I did a little revising and sent you my draft. Hope it

  17. Need advice - bad grades from past degree

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

    Before you look at re-taking any classes anywhere, take the advice to talk to an advisor at your current school. There are as many variations in requirements as there are schools. English 101 &...

  18. The Wait is Killing Me!

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

    Even though I turned mine in already, our application deadline isn't until March 1! I should know by June 1 at the latest. I'm taking 4 classes this semester, including micro and patho, so that's...

  19. Help for Identifying epithelial tissue under microscope!

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

    I used Google image to search for examples. I liked the variety that option provided. Another resource that we had available were little cameras that attached to our microscopes. We could snap...

  20. Intimidated by smarties!!

    NewSN13 replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish some of the "smarties" in my classes had that level of self-awareness! I had a guy in both semesters of A&P who was very vocal about his desire to go to PA school. He was also vocal about...

  21. Looking for ways to finagle my way into ADN program ...

    NewSN13 replied to anpvk7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like Student4_life pointed out, it may be difficult to add another seat because of clinical considerations. Funding also plays a role in the number of seats available. If you wanted to try to...

  22. First A&P I Test

    NewSN13 replied to Nighthawke30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good job! If you were able to do so well on the first test, you should be well on your way to A&P

    NewSN13 replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to ditto the khanacademy.com suggestion. I loved my professor but there were some concepts that I just couldn't quite grasp after lecture and reading the book. I don't know if it was having...
