    What to wear for volunteer orientation?

    afterseason replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with another poster. I recommend business casual (no jeans!). I would avoid anything too flashy or trendy and would avoid going over-the-top with makeup and

    Hahaha. I may be a total weirdo, but I actually like that kind of stuff. I find it interesting to watch. Guess that's one less thing for me to have to worry about being quesy

    Where Do You Study??

    afterseason replied to RocketMama2011's topic in General Students

    Someone else mentioned recording lectures and listening to them in the car -- I do the same thing with my notes. I also let them play at night when I'm sleeping (my mom swears by this -- she's been a...

    Where Do You Study??

    afterseason replied to RocketMama2011's topic in General Students

    I usually study in the bedroom -- I spread everything out on the bed, and I can be comfy in my PJ's. I have to have background noise when I study, so I usually turn on some music. I like to study...

    The "one thing"

    afterseason replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Vomit doesn't really bother me, and neither does "blood and guts." Poop has never really bothered me, but I've only ever really dealt with the poop of babies and children. Not sure how I'll do with...

    Hair & clinical

    afterseason replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Why would it be a potential for germs? It wouldn't be coming in contact with anything... I am referring to the small ones that wrap around the bun (like many ballet dancers wear). Like the

    What specialties tend to hire the most new grads?

    afterseason replied to CGlover09's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't let talk about "no more nursing shortage" worry you -- you'll still be able to find a job. It can be hard to get a job in a specialty right off the bat, but it's not impossible. I have a...

    Advice...please

    afterseason replied to Toaster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally took about two years after high school before I bothered going to college (granted, I graduated early). I personally was just not in a place in my life to "commit" to anything. I was...

    Hair & clinical

    afterseason replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    We cannot have hair touching our shoulders. Even if it is pulled back, it has to be off the shoulders. I have to wear mine in a bun, because it is so long that even in a ponytail it still touches my...

    Does nursing school look at your overall GPA?

    afterseason replied to kidd5006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has a weighted system as well. They look at all of the pre-requisite courses, but as other posters have stated, some are "worth more." For example, you must have at least a "C" is all...

    Best work experience for pre-nursing student?

    afterseason replied to catman88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends where you are taking your phlebotomy course at and what sort of pre-reqs they have. If you are able / are planning to take the course at your school, check with them. Good

    afterseason replied to adntobe's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am starting the ADN program this Fall (2012). I had a TEAS V score of 87.8, and I believe my GPA was a 3.6 or 3.7 (have to double-check my transcripts). They said 500+ applied. There are 44 of us in...

    Is nursing still a good career choice?

    afterseason replied to manskette's topic in General Students

    Oh, and as someone else mentioned, taking the extra steps while in school to work in positions that offer hands-on experience, networking opportunities, etc, will help ensure that you have a better...

    I may be repeating some things that have already been said, but... You will be able to find a job. Maybe not right off the bat, maybe not in the specific field you were hoping for, and hell, you may...

    When do clinicals normally start?

    Best work experience for pre-nursing student?

    afterseason replied to catman88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you know you're going to have a long wait, doing something like CNA or phlebotomy is a good idea. For me, I didn't have the time. I got into my ADN program immediately after finishing my pre-reqs...

    Can you be admitted by applying to a certificate program, take remedial math courses, and then change your major to a degree program? The letter you received sounds like you CAN be admitted at this...

    Human Development and A&P II in a semester is this EXTREME???

    afterseason replied to inquiringRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it'll be a problem. I usually took three classes per quarter (so I had to cram even more in since we had short sessions). I had no issues maintaining A's -- and I worked full time... and...
