    Fear is Getting the Best of Me

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

    Hold your head up! I'm always hearing about how drastic the drop is once NS actually starts, or most of the time - beforehand! If this is what you truly want to do, stick with it! Don't become one of...

    CNA certification

    Iridescent Orchid replied to FutureRN15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the info as well! I've been needing to ask my adviser about this to! If not, I need to get busy on enrolling into the CNA Program in my area. I'd just much rather be able to sit for the...

    Student Loan Question(s)?

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, first off - I'm about to enter my last semester of prerequisites. With that being said, with Hope becoming obsolete in my community college starting this Fall Semester, I was a bit weary of Pell...

    New NS, What's your first "nursing shoe" gonna be?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to BelleNscrubs04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm still stuck on what I want my first shoe to be. I've been looking on Nurse Mates, they've got a lot of shoes that are cute/comfy looking to me and they have good ratings! I haven't quite decided...

    Nurses and the LORD

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Seiya174's topic in General Students

    It varies. Some of us are, some of us aren't - that's the way it is everywhere you turn. I'm not religious, but I do have beliefs. I can understand why someone may incorporate something about praying...

    Student Loan Question(s)?

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

    Thanks you guys, both of you have answered all the questions I had on the matter. I really appreciate it! I'll talk to my FA office on my next steps. I'm glad you've shed light on the account of if I...

    More important? Overall or Science GPA?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've learned, it seems like majority of colleges account for the curricular GPA (pre-reqs, really) as opposed to the cumulative GPA (all courses you've taken), but I have heard of a few that...

    Is This Truly Logical?

    Iridescent Orchid posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OK, I've been doing a lot of soul searching the past couple of months and just going to try to throw this out there for my fellow Pre-LPN/LPN Program students... I've been working for a year at...

    should I quit my well paying job of 43,000 a year to go to nursing school

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say what the PP said. Try to stick it out at your current job until you find a night job in which you can work full-time, or maybe even afford to be able to work part-time for a bit to get...

    Student Loan Question(s)?

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

    Thank you tons. :) I think you answered everything that I needed to know! I will get with my FA office to figure out where to go from here. If it turns out that I am waitlisted, I will definitely...

    LOW GPA

    Iridescent Orchid replied to nini1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say for certain when it comes to where it is you want to apply, but check the qualifications before applying, although it NEVER, EVER hurts to apply anyway, you never know! I know a lot of...

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    No need in thinking that. I was glad to get insight on how it may be seen as bragging. I see some friends do it here and there, and I'm almost more than positive if I was taking the same class as a...

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I always post my grades on Facebook, but not obsessively, but throughout the term - and usually only for finals, projects, or overall grade. I usually only do it when I'm truly surprised. Like the...

    Gulp...This sure is a lot of studying.

    Iridescent Orchid replied to WKredz5's topic in General Students

    Hey! Best of luck to you! I'm in the last semester of my prerequisites and I'm realizing just how important it is to study and retain this information I'm learning. I was just as you, which is why I...

    Fall 2011, what's your schedule?

    gpa to get into nursing school?

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

    My school requires no less than a 2.75 to be up for selection. With that being said, I've heard a lot of students saying they were not accepted and had that GPA or a little higher. Regardless, the...

    loans for pre-reqs... have you done it?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Sophiamez's topic in General Students

    I've thought about combining loans with my grants for pre-reqs, but I figure I shouldn't take out a loan unless it's deemed necessary. My grant is covering over 95% of my costs throughout my last...

    Hi Ya'll! Any new pre-nursing students?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing the same thing! I was in college for ECE and I just didn't focus the right amount that I should have. Majority of the classes I took then, were online, so I did as little as possible just to...

    too much load???

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Al.ginger's topic in General Students

    I'd talk to my adviser about the situation and see what she'd suggest! :) I'm going to have to take 18 credit hours my first semester to coincide with the schedule layout they've laid out for program...

    Is it possible to work while attending RN school?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to AmberLeigh000's topic in General Students

    It can be done, but from majority of what I've read around here and from other students in my area - others find it really, really hard and it's a continuing struggle. Don't work during Nursing School...

    Will you still have pre/co-requisites to take while in NS?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I'll be done with them all! Thank God, I've just recently learned that for my first semester of the program, I have to take 18 Credit Hours based on their semester layout. There's no way I'd be...

    Opinions on Class Schedule

    Iridescent Orchid replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Wow! I'm also going to have to say that I'm very jealous of your schedule! For my first NS semester, I'm looking at 18 Credit Hours to graduate in the time the program specifies and to be on the same...

    Should I quit my job before nursing school?

    Iridescent Orchid replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Students

    I've been having a hard time with this decision as well, but I believe I've finally come to terms with what's right for me, no matter others' opinions. Do what you know is right for you. I'm still...

    Studying for entrance..

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

    Hey there! I haven't taken the entrance exam quite yet, but from what I've researched, although there are different forms of an exam-type, they usually contain very little math on the mathematics...
