  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,...

  3. Ivy Tech Background check? need some help with a certain issue?

    Cherry02 replied to Aongroup1990's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If it was thrown out, then

  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...

  9. A&P or Chemistry.....

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

    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

  15. I am a nursing major and i want to minor in something

    Cherry02 replied to 3ponceboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Minor in

  16. What do you wish you had studied/learned more?

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

    Only been in nursing school for a month, but I agree about A&P. Your life will be easier if you know your A&P very well. Knowing microbio has been pretty helpful too, actually...especially for...

  17. Pulled my transcripts and about fell over HELP!!!!!!

    Cherry02 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, you were never charged for any of those classes? Just curious. That is so

  18. Possible to get into nursing school with a C? Has anyone ever?

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

    I got a C in A&P 2...but I was lucky enough to be accepted into the nursing program a few weeks before I was done with the class. Before that, I had mostly A's and some B's...and that is all the...

  19. A&P2 Micro & Nutrition if taken together will I survive? /

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

    It depends so much on the school, instructor, and student. There was no chem prereq for me at all, although I took it years ago anyway...and based on that...I would say A&P 2, microbio, and chem...

  20. Prerequisite count from a previous degree?

    Cherry02 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school. I would definitely check with the school before wasting time and money on a class you don't need to re-take. At my school, the only classes with an expiration date were lab...

  21. Any nursing students with small kids?

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

    I agree, awesome thread! This was definitely super motivating! I have 2 kids, 3.5 and 7.5 years old...and starting an ABSN program next month. It is scary, but exciting at the same time. Having kids...

  22. Fall 2012 Schedule...Am I crazy?

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

    Looks fine to me. Good

  23. How is Nutrition?

    Cherry02 replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it last summer. It was also a prereq for my nursing program. I forget if it was 6 or 8 weeks long..? I took it online. It was pretty easy and interesting for the most part. I am guessing it...

  24. Microbiology - Summer 2012

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

    Yeah, like someone else said, there are different ways of killing bacteria...not all antibiotics specifically/primarily/directly act on the cell wall. They just have to target traits specific to...

  25. Did anyone think that A&P II was an easier course than A&P I?

    Cherry02 replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a harder time with A&P II. At least it seemed like I did. I did better on A&P II lecture exams, but worse on lab quizzes and practicals compared to A&P I. However, in A&P I we...
