    jhawk07 replied to reidesert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jhawk07 replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Should I take Chem Lab?

    jhawk07 replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I HATE Chemistry labs. In my school the labs dont follow the class so they dont help just create more hassle. If yours does follow the class and it does help you learn the material i would take it but...

  6. If you had a choice.....

    jhawk07 replied to minnielynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would only do the LPN if I was in need of having a job and money faster. If not I would do RN and i would do BSN. I am getting my BSN right now. It will provide me with more opportunity for...

  7. House, MD last night.....AAAGH!

    jhawk07 replied to SteveNNP's topic in General Nursing

    The only medical shows I like are Scrubs and ER. They both put nurses in a good light (I love Carla and the older nurse on Scrubs). and on ER they have attitude and do a lot of things. Scrubs comes...

  8. Admission interview

    jhawk07 replied to noele1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be yourself and be confident. They asked me how i studied, why I wanted to be a nurse, etc. There is a thread on the general nursing student forum that is about interview questions, it is directed...

  9. Should I get a CNA prior to nursing classes?

    jhawk07 replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    its not necessary, I got in with very little hospital experience! I have volunteered a bit, so that is all I would do if I were you and save the $900 bucks or so it takes to get a CNA. Anyway after...

  10. Has anyone taken A&P online?

    jhawk07 replied to Ariel70113's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Anatomy on campus, but I am taking Physiology (my school splits them up) online to avoid a professor with a bad rep. It is actually harder than the class I think because it is all essay...

  11. Do you need to know all the markings on the bones?

    jhawk07 replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    no you don't necessarily need them for nursing, but you need them for the class, I mean seriously every professor can't expect to remember everything you learn or memorize for his class for the rest...

    jhawk07 replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    probably finite math, it has more to do with patterns and things then pre-calc does, avoid calculus at all costs!!!!!! i did but my fiance had to take Calc 1 and 2 for his major and even him as a...

  18. AAAHHHHH!!!!! How does anyone pass A&P I ???

    jhawk07 replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a B in the class. 1) I never read the textbook except to look at the pictures, reading where things in are isn't very interesting and you easily lost interest and also it doesn't help much, the...

  19. Whats the real deal?

    jhawk07 replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've noticed a lot of schools say they want a certain GPA but they actually let in the people with the highest GPAs. So just do the best you can. Just because they say 2.0 doesn't mean that getting...

  20. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    jhawk07 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about joining the Navy? I read this thing in Parade magazine about the Navy Medical Ship going to help out with the tsunami and other places in the region that needed help. My...
