  3. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    x_factor replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    I agree with this. Jobs are not going to care whether you earned A's or C's in nursing school, they just care that you graduated and passed the NCLEX. However, grades in nursing school ARE extremely...

    x_factor replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whether you should consider another major besides nursing is strictly your choice, no one else can make that decision for you. Nursing school is nothing like pre-reqs though, pre-reqs are a walk in...

    x_factor replied to mpb123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Study hard, stay focused, and be dedicated to what you are working towards. Remember you get out of your work what you put into it. For A&P I suggest YouTube video's for different area's of the...

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

    Whether you add in an elective really depends on how your school calculates GPA. Do they go by overall cumulative of every class you take no matter what, or is acceptance based off the GPA of just the...

  12. Still have a shot for being accepted?

    x_factor replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on your school and how selective they are. Many schools base acceptance off GPA, and many more hold high weight to the science classes. Realistically, a C in a science class is not good, and...

  15. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    x_factor replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Facepalm. Did you really just compare a female wearing a hat as part of the traditional female uniform for an hour during graduation, to the entire segregation and racial profiling of black people?...

  16. Need advice, just failed first semester of nursing school

    x_factor replied to mnurs's topic in General Students

    Life will not end, even though right now I'm sure it feels like it's the end of the world. Realistically, you can and will be able to get back into a program, but I suggest going the ADN route. I am...

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

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

    I don't think the specific class makes much of a difference, but maybe you should ask your school just to be safe. My program I am applying to next semester wants a letter of recommendation, and mine...

    x_factor replied to FruitChicken's topic in General Students

    x_factor replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students
