    Why soo many different pre-nursing exams....

    Iridescent Orchid replied to futureRNMena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand what you're saying. I also struggled with the math portion and in that sense, I do feel the test os kind of a waste, considering the lack of math skills needed. I believe I can overcome...

    I might fail A&P 1, I'm really ashamed. What should I do?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feel down about this. A&P is a tough course to ace. I'm currently in the class myself and have been struggling to keep myself at a B. I know many fellow students who have to take it over...

    How many prereqs in 1 semester?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to lvnibclc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do whatever amount you feel you can without burning out. 4 is not too many! But you also have to take into account how much time you have free for these classes and if it's an ample amount of time. If...

    Why soo many different pre-nursing exams....

    Iridescent Orchid replied to futureRNMena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, it seems like just about every school in my area has a different program-entrance exam that you have to pass in order to be selected. I've taken the PSB-LPN 3 times before I got over the score...

    LPN? RN?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Nikki_sixx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every situation is different and we all have routes we feel are better to take. If you want to go for your LPN first, go for it. If you rather go straight for your BSN, that's great! If you're like...

    Prereqs - What order?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to hmjensen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd go with English and Math first, definitely! That way you can be at ease with the transition of differences between high school and college. :) If you're up for more courses, I'd go ahead and take...

    Help me prepare for Anatomy

    Iridescent Orchid replied to lvnibclc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely get a start on skimming through the chapters! I've also found a lot of use in the anatomy coloring books that I've purchased throughout this semester. Kaplan's Anatomy Flashcards have been...

    Anyone know how to get a job as a patient sitter?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to cslomko2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you haven't found a job based on these types of duties yet, look into getting your CNA license. It's usually pretty quick and decently affordable to obtain. I know a few facilities in my area offer...

    Scholarships

    Iridescent Orchid replied to lovelyb26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of times the college you're enrolled in will have a couple of select scholarships specifically for nursing students in which you can apply for. I believe it varies every semester. I know my...

    How's everyone's fall semester going?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just had my last test score in Psychology and made 95% on it! I really can't believe the transitions I've made in this semester alone. I had an 82 in Psych and studied my butt off...I'm currently at a...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ImScared2BANurse's topic in General Students

    Taking my Nclex pn next Tuesday....

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Sadea12's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think the amount of time you've been studying is just perfect! If you study too much, you're bound to freeze up or choke on the nclex, especially if you get more and more nervous with the more you...

    Anyone else hate group projects?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I have a group project coming up next month in Psychology. I haven't had to do this since high school, so I'm not really looking forward to it. I wouldn't mind if I could get grouped with others who...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You do not have to make a discussion out of every single section the instructor goes over, especially when you always find a way to mention what you saw on Dr. Oz...why even start off what you want to...

    Will I be able too survive nursing school?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to ImScared2BANurse's topic in General Students

    I was never the brightest crayon in the bunch either, so I know a bit about how you feel. You're doing good to figure out you may want to pursue nursing while you're still in high school. I thought I...

    Any job description within the health field will be beneficial for your future, if only in the terms of giving you the opportunity to see the inside works of a healthcare job and duties. It will also...

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    Thank you very much! I did Google, but I was looking to see if anyone had any others they thought up but haven't shared! I think I might go with Toilet Paper My ***! It seems a lot of people are!...
