  1. Your Starting Salary?

    x_factor posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    For nursing students like myself, I thought it would be helpful and intersting to see what type of salary is out there for graduating nursing students for different area's. Looking around the site, I...

  2. Huge List of A&P Videos

    x_factor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been compiling links to YouTube videos, many focused on area's of A&P, for well over a year since I started this journey as a student hoping to one day be a nurse. I thought I would share...

  3. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

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

    I'm taking Micro and A&P this semester, and to me there's no comparison: Micro has been MUCH easier. It's been a complete walk in the park for me, and has been tons more interesting. Nothing beats...

  4. Schedule question A&P1 and Chemistry????

    x_factor replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't suggest taking both together considering you work and have two children to care for. I think both are very doable together for someone who doesn't have that level of responsibility outside...

  5. I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!

    x_factor replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering why I hadn't heard back from you in a while! I was like, hmmm where the heck is she!! My inbox is all clear

    x_factor replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, I'm so proud and happy for

  7. Is my planned Pre-nursing Fall 2013 schedule crazy/impossible?

    x_factor replied to heres117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it looks fine. My schedule was heavier than that this semester and has been fine. Most of my classmates are taking a schedule similar in load to yours with no problems. 16 credits is a pretty...

  8. Books I Recommend to Fellow Students

    x_factor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Periodically I will see students post a thread asking for recommendations on books that they can use either to get a head-start on reviewing nursing materials, or books to help with the more difficult...

  9. BRCC point system

    x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I never said the HESI cut-off was lower 90's, I said that was the

  10. BRCC point system

    x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    That's the only 3 criteria. GPA of the 5 required pre-reqs, HESI score, and then how many classes taken at BRCC. In that order. We were told that last admitted class had a cut-off GPA of 3.6 and the...

  11. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

    x_factor replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Because it beats waiting an extra year or longer to apply simply because you have a couple more classes to take. I'll be done with co-reqs this year, except for A&P II which I'm taking in the...

  12. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

    x_factor replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not every school cares if you finish your co-reqs/pre-reqs before applying. My school only requires a handful of specific pre-reqs from the pre-req list and the GPA from those in deciding acceptance....

  13. grades for nursing program

    x_factor replied to kml61792's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not completely accurate. Many colleges actually base their admission into nursing programs on your cumulative GPA... the GPA of all previous college

  14. Can't add A&P II yet?

    x_factor replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can answer this except the advisor at your specific school, since each school's rules will vary when it comes to over-riding a class schedule. I suggest speaking with an advisor at your school...

  15. Math 99

    x_factor replied to katrinad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's a required math pre-req, then unfortunately you'll have to take it. The only way you'd possibly be grandfathered in is if maybe you were already in the nursing program when that became a...

  16. D in statistics

    x_factor replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure why you're taking a class such a statistics if it isn't a pre-req for your program, but in any case you took it and now have a D in it. My advice is to re-take it and aim for a better...

  17. Math 99

    x_factor replied to katrinad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At many schools, classes below the 100 (or 1,000, depending on how their catalog is arranged) level are developmental courses. Each school is different though. What is Math 99 at your school? Is it...

  18. A&P1, how many hours a week in class?

    x_factor replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II this summer and it'll be 12 hours per week. A&P I during the summer is 12 hours per week as well. It's an 8 week summer

  19. How are you paying for Nursing school?

    x_factor replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pell grant and federal student loans are what's getting me through school right

  20. What areas of physio and anatomy would you go over before starting Nursing school?

    x_factor replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest starting to memorize the muscles and the bones. Those are two very heavy sections in A&P that will benefit you greatly by getting a head

  21. Who taking A&P this summer?

    x_factor replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II this

  22. Co reqs

    x_factor replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd never do it. For most people it's academic suicide, as nursing classes are hard enough by themselves. I'm finishing up the last of my co-reqs this semester, and will only have one class left,...

  23. Itt tech richardson!

    x_factor replied to luchy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I second what SopranoKris said. Most aren't CCNE or NLNAC accredited, several have bad reputations for low NCLEX pass rates as well as being a complete rip-off in price (there's a reason they are...

  24. i need to make up matetnal and infant in the summer anybody knows in California

    x_factor replied to sarah5225's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think you can "make up" nursing classes like that. You'd most likely have to take it at the school in which you are enrolled in the nursing

  25. Did you take general biology or human biology?

    x_factor replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One or the other should be a pre-req requirement for your program anyways. So check with the program you are applying to and take the one that's actually required for your
