    snow_bear replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan Nursing

  3. Lansing Community College

    snow_bear posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Do I stand a chance of being accepted into LCC's 2013 nursing program if I don't have ALL of the pre/co-reqs completed by the end of this year? I have a 3.9 GPA, will have all of the pre/co-reqs...

  5. Lansing Community College

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That's what I was afraid of. I think I will be better off to finish school where I'm at and relocate after graduation. Hope the job market is better by then! Thanks for your responses.

  8. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  9. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, I contacted Shadyside SON and was told that I could not retake the math portion of the exam because there are only 56 days between the date I took the exam and the last possible test date. I've...

  10. A&P....love it or hate it?

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have loved every minute of my A&P classes and am a little sad that it will be ending soon, although it seems that I can never study enough (to thoroughly learn the material, not just do well on...

  11. Quitting full-time job for nursing school

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks like I may have to leave my current job if I want to attend nursing school as even the "evening/weekend" programs require that you be available some time during the week for clinicals. One...

  12. CCAC - Evening/Weekend

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Are you able to select whether you want clinicals on the weekends or are they randomly assigned? I don’t care if I have clinicals all weekend and have to drive to Timbuktoo to get there. I just...

  13. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Can I retake it for this fall? I was under the impression that you could only take it once a year. I got an "A" in Algebra. I think I was spending too much time working out the trickier problems...

    Study everything and study every day. Take notes while reading your book, use the online resources from the textbook publisher, study guide, outline notes, flashcards, coloring books, whatever you...

  17. A&P....love it or hate it?

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

    I'll be done with A&P II in a few weeks, then I'll be taking Micro & Patho in the fall. I'm not really looking forward to Micro, just hope it will be more interesting than I think, but Patho...

  18. Nursing classes are easy...

    snow_bear replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I think nursing school will be very demanding and time-consuming, but not particularly difficult to learn the material. As my A&P instructor likes to say, "It's not quantam

    snow_bear replied to mc0306's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Work Fulltime + education benefits or take scholarship and not work?

    snow_bear replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN to RN

    You don't say if you need your healthcare benefits. Do you have a spouse that can provide insurance for you and your son if you quit working? If not, then there is really no choice. You have to...

    I took in in December 2011. The school that I'm taking my prereqs at allows you to take it twice per year, so I signed up for the first round even though I knew I wouldn't have time to study...
