  1. Chemistry

    NewSN13 replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did general chem in 8 weeks. It moves fast but its possible if you stay on top of it, especially if you only need to pass

  2. Schools that select based on GPA and tests.

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

    Boise State's admission process is purely GPA. No tests although they do include "pilot" essay/written interview questions that are optional to answer. They rank order applicants based on their GPA...

  3. Chemistry

    NewSN13 replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long is your summer

  4. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    NewSN13 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have "the letter" bottle of wine. Good or bad, there will be wine consumed. And I haven't even submitted my application yet! In fact, our application just became available yesterday and I forced...

  5. Back to school for nursing

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

    I also have a BA in a totally unrelated field and my GPA from that degree was about the same as yours (thank you freshman and sophomore years!). I looked at both an ABSN and a traditional BSN option...

  6. transcripts when should i send them.

    NewSN13 replied to lexicon28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with ParkerBeanCurd - I would confirm with the school you're interested in that it's ok to have courses in progress. With my school, only certain classes can be in progress the semester a student...

  7. To CLEP or not to CLEP

    NewSN13 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting ready to apply to my school's nursing program for Fall 2011. I have a BA in Political Science. One pre-req that I need is Sociology 101. With my first degree, I took a couple of classes...

  8. Scared but Determined...

    NewSN13 replied to dreamer827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! I think you've gotten through one of the hardest parts which is deciding that this is the career you want to pursue and enrolling in classes. I'm 31 and I hear some variation of the...

  9. How Many Hours Of Studing Required For A&P1?

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

    Yes! I have mentioned it before but the worst part of A&P for me was the anticipation of how difficult it would be. My first week, I forced myself to study for longer than I really felt...

  10. How Many Hours Of Studing Required For A&P1?

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

    I took both semesters of A&P over the summer (5 weeks each) as well as Psych 101 (which was a 10 week course). My psych was online and was so easy that I spent maybe an hour per week completing...

  11. How hard is chemistry as compared to anatomy class?

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

    The math really only requires basic algebra skills for the most part but in the context of a chemistry problem, I think it just freaks people out. A lot of the problems were conversions but you have...

  12. How hard is chemistry as compared to anatomy class?

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

    Like others have said, chemistry and A&P are different beasts. I know people who are brilliant in one subject and can barely hack it in the other. As has also been mentioned, general chemistry...

  13. College options - HELP!

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

    The thing to keep in mind with BSU is that EVERYONE is pre-nursing (or so it seems) so classes fill up fast and the advisor for undergrad nursing fields a lot of inquiries. I already have a...

  14. College options - HELP!

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

    Hi! I'm currently a student at Boise State and will be applying to the nursing program next month! Ok, so since "bang for your buck" is one requirement, I would cross ITT Tech and Carrington off of...

  15. Let the wait begin !

    NewSN13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear ya! I'm hoping that all of the patience I'm learning through this process is going to pay off! How long until your grades are supposed to be

  16. Chances of getting into nursing programs

    NewSN13 replied to J-Lock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely try to talk to representatives from the program(s) you are interested in. Sandi's advice was excellent - try to get a one on one appointment so you can have someone help you with your...

  17. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    I think you might be overestimating other students' motivation! My school offers an accelerated chemistry class that combines 101 and 102 into one semester. It's designed for the health majors,...

  18. What Do You Find Hardest About A&P I

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

    The hardest thing for me about A&P was the fear of the class! I heard so many stories about how difficult it was that it was hard to convince myself that I would be able to do it! Once the class...

  19. how does the grading system work at your college?

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

    That's pretty standard. My school actually uses a +/- system so an A is a 4.0, an A- is a 3.7, B+ is a 3.3, B is a 3.0, etc. The standard guidelines for the cutoffs are something like 93% and above...

  20. NLN Accreditation

    NewSN13 replied to janeen.raygor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend who works for the state that I live in. We were discussing nursing school and she told me that they (the state) interview different big employers in the area to determine what they...

  21. Developmental Psych/Lifespan Development

    NewSN13 replied to RN2BEISME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry. I didn't take your request for cheap into consideration! When I took an online class through them, I just needed quick. The flexible start dates and, at least in the class I took, the...

  22. Developmental Psych/Lifespan Development

    NewSN13 replied to RN2BEISME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out Rio Salado. It's part of the Maricopa (Phoenix, AZ) Community College system. They have online classes that start every Monday. Many of the classes have an 8 week option. The website is...

  23. Anatomy help?

    NewSN13 replied to Chris NS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ability to memorize is important but I think being able to conceptualize is important, too. When it comes to the names of pieces and parts, you need to just be able to commit it to memory. But...

  24. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

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

    That's great that you already have a degree. It might cut down on the number of prereqs you have to take. At my university, for example, second degree seeking students only have to take the science...

  25. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

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

    I just started the journey towards nursing school this summer. I have two boys - 5 and 2. I stayed home with them for awhile and then worked for almost a year before I decided to go back to school....
