    Summer school anyone?

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

    I've already gotten accepted to nursing school, and will have completed all my nursing prerequisites come Wednesday, but I am taking two extra classes this summer. First, I am taking philosophy 241,...

    Physio question...advice

    NCRNMDM replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you are going to be absolutely fine to do physiology without chemistry. I took one basic chemistry before anatomy and physiology, our school does the two together, and I was fine. If...

    I did it! A&P I & II in the same semester!!

    NCRNMDM replied to ms.hopeful2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, I know that was hard. You're lucky that your school allows you to do that because at my school it would never work. We are required to take anatomy and physiology I, and pass it,...

    Discouraged after speaking to a counselor

    NCRNMDM replied to DenisseG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First and foremost, talk to someone within the nursing program. At my school, we have a coordinator who is in charge of all the nursing students, and who we all go speak to. She has all the...

    DUI on record

    NCRNMDM replied to pinkpega's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Unfortunately, I, like the other poster, am clueless as to how that works. I live in North Carolina, and know nothing about California and their rules. Truth be told, I'm not even sure how the rules...

    Advice or tips for getting accepted

    NCRNMDM replied to km27047's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into nursing school on my first try, and I was an early high school graduate to boot. I had a pretty impressive resume, but my college GPA was lower than what I wanted, because of one bad grade...

    What would you do?

    NCRNMDM replied to Stever01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In North Carolina, if you don't get your CNA I while still in high school, you have to take it through a college, and the program is rather pricey. Considering the low hourly rate for a CNA, the...

    In what order should I take these classes?

    NCRNMDM replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do not have to take chemistry before microbiology, and your understanding of one does not reflect how you will understand the other. In my opinion, it is absolutely ridiculous to try and take...

    Microbiology help?

    NCRNMDM replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

    Microbiology is the last prerequisite I'm taking before I begin nursing school in the fall! All in all, micro isn't nearly as hard as everyone made it out to be. We got grade assessments in class...

    Doing well in pre-req courses

    NCRNMDM replied to Cee-Cee,STNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could try applying to some different schools, but the main thing is never give up on your dream! If you really want to be a nurse, and you feel that it's what you are called to do with your life,...

    HELP! What Do You Do When You Lose Focus?

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

    While I was getting through my prerequisites I did several things to keep myself interested, and to ensure that I was learning the material. First, I put on some background music that I enjoyed to...

    What type of Chemistry did you take?

    NCRNMDM replied to laughoutloud8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, Chicagoing! I took General I and II, and General Organic at the college level while I was still in high school. Having the opportunity to do a lot of my prerequisite courses while still at the...

    Newbie- going to be taking my PSB practical nursing exam any advice?

    NCRNMDM replied to Beth1437's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the PSB-RN exam and I found it to be very easy. I'm not sure how it differs from the PSB for practical nursing, but if the two are at all similar you shouldn't have a problem. Mine consisted of...

    What type of Chemistry did you take?

    NCRNMDM replied to laughoutloud8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a little carried away with chemistry and took General Chemistry I and II with labs, General Organic Chemistry with lab, and some odd Inorganic Chemistry class with a lab component that just...

    Nursing Jobs in Charlette NC

    NCRNMDM replied to Tiera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Carolinas Medical Center is a large hospital here in Charlotte, and they employee a ton of people. CMC Main is around 900 beds, a level one trauma center, a transplant hospital, a level III neonatal...

    Summer Pre-Req's!

    NCRNMDM replied to Trace67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, all summer classes are accelerated, and that can be a good or bad thing. It's good because you finish necessary prerequisites faster and you have them out of the way; it's bad because...

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

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

    I do not feel that pursuing more education to achieve a career that you are interested in, that pays a good deal of money, and that would provide more financial stability for you and your children...

    Volunteering

    NCRNMDM replied to Rakkika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started volunteering at my local hospital at the age of 12 and I volunteered until right before I got accepted into nursing school, about six years. Over those years, I worked in the ER, the ICU,...

    Too sensitive to be a nurse?

    NCRNMDM replied to StephPR's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think your sensitivity to pets has any bearing on how good of a nurse you will be. Those nurses who said that you will get used to death are incorrect, anytime a patient you have taken care of...

    Why is it everyone's favorite?

    NCRNMDM replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    Mother-baby, no, definitely not. That is far to calm a unit for me. I do love the ICU and ER because of the high adrenaline and fast paced experience of working there. However, the longer you stay in...

    Do you have your clinicals in the hospital?

    NCRNMDM replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of that. At my nursing school we go to multiple places. We go to two hospitals, and two psychiatric hospitals, as well as a health department, and I believe there are a few hospice...

    NCRNMDM replied to MeganRaeT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome, I've only been a member about three months or so. Congratulations on starting the journey towards getting your LVN! I recently got accepted into an RN program here in NC, and I can't wait to...

    I have no idea what I should do

    NCRNMDM replied to Stever01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't want to be a nurse, don't do it. If you're interested in doing paramedic work have you ever thought about going to nursing school and then becoming a flight nurse or critical care...

    Community College vs University for Prereqs?

    NCRNMDM replied to kpng's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure if it's the same in California, but in North Carolina you have to be careful about taking prerequisite courses at another college. For instance, some people do all their prerequisite...

    Need advice on what to do about getting into Nursing School

    NCRNMDM replied to Koshei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should definitely transfer to another school which accepts the lower GPA. As far as nursing goes, graduating from a prestigious school has nothing to do with how well you do your job, and most...
