1. What are my options?!

   Cherry02 replied to kayd04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   None of the schools near you have an accelerated BSN for people who already have a degree in another field? That is what I'm doing right now. It's only 4 semesters (including summer--so 16 months) and...

2. Should I mention a class I am repeating, and the reasons?

   Cherry02 replied to suzw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Honestly, I think they want to read about educational challenges that you have overcome and succeeded in, in the end. Not saying you should or shouldn't mention the organic chem class, but if you do,...

4. Will I like nursing?

   Cherry02 replied to aldu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think you'd like it. Maybe you can shadow a nurse or something. That would definitely help you decide whether it is something you'd like or

5. Which professor should I ask for a letter of recommendation?

   Cherry02 replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I would go with the one that knows you the best and can speak most knowledgeably of your attributes. Doing well in A&P/science is important, but it isn't the only thing nursing schools look for....

6. Advice on Schedule Please!!

   Cherry02 replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I took psych and sociology together (years ago--2004) and don't know why there would be an issue with it. However, it is really hard to give advice on what classes to take together or how many classes...

7. Am i a nerd

   Cherry02 replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think it would be nice to just read over the material before you have the stress of having to memorize it all. I think that would probably make it more interesting. And of course it will help once...

8. Is the first semester really the hardest?

   Cherry02 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

   This is my first semester too...and my clinical instructor is definitely NOT abusive. So far, none of my instructors have been. They have high standards, but they are kind, understanding, and...

   Chemistry.

10. What class to take with Chemistry?

    Cherry02 replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take psych with chem. Maybe not the accelerated one since you work 40 hrs a week, but I don't think those 2 classes together will be a

11. Please help with my decision making, oh wise ones :)

    Cherry02 replied to GunMetalBlack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely go with the ADN program, try to get a job ASAP, and start paying down that debt. With the debt you already have, I would not even entertain the idea of going to private school,...

12. Which route to nursing is the smartest option?

    Cherry02 replied to cinasot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, BSW is Bachelor of Social Work. And times are tough for social workers too. You pretty much need at least an MSW now. Anyway, I would also go with plan B. However, why limit yourself to Loyola's...

13. What does this mean (credit) - confused??

    Cherry02 replied to Novo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It means that you can't take it (unless you audit the class or something) because you already have a stats course. I would definitely get some clarification from the nursing advisor or whoever that it...

14. Pay Grade: Having an AS vs. a BS

    Cherry02 replied to MsAlba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have also heard there is not much difference in pay. The advantage of having a BSN is that more job opportunities are available and there are more options for
