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

    Great post, thank you for

  2. Baton Rouge Comm. College (BRCC) 2013 acceptance letters

    x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I agree, I'd never apply with the bare minimum, it's definitely best to get the co-reqs completed by the time you start the program. All I have left is A&P 2 over the summer and all my co-reqs...

  3. Labtop or ipad for nursing school?

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

    I prefer my laptop over my pad by a long-shot when it comes to school work. It's much easier for me type up notes during class, type up research papers and essays, and anything else I need to type up...

  4. Baton Rouge Comm. College (BRCC) 2013 acceptance letters

    x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    First week of June after final grades from spring semester have been submitted, since many applicants are finishing up the last of their pre-reqs. I'm anxiously awaiting for June to

  5. HESI

    x_factor replied to stefonee356's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Make notecards if there are vocabulary words you don't understand. Most of the words you'll likely recognize, however. Some of the words from the book may be on the exam (I had maybe 5-6 from the...

  6. HESI

    x_factor replied to stefonee356's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Review the Evolve study guide, it's almost identical to the test. The test is very simple, basic math, basic reading,

  7. Anyone else have schoolwork due DURING break?

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

    Nothing due during my spring break, but I have exams in 3 classes the week we come back. A&P, Micro, and Psychology. So my spring break is consisting of studying. Lots of

  8. Do we still dissect things in a&p?

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

    We're doing cats this semester for A&P 1. We're continuing with cats and also doing sheep organs and cow organs next semester for A&P

  9. Medical Terminology

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

    Take it if you can, it's not a hard class and it will give you miles of advantage, especially once you hit A&P classes. Medical terminology is not a required pre-req for my nursing program...

  10. Summer Classes

    x_factor replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just A&P 2. It's my last co-req, and I want it out of the way so once I start the nursing program, I won't have any co-reqs to worry

  11. How many are going straight for your BSN?

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

    Where I live, ADN's get hired just as quickly and easily as BSN, with very few places having a strong preference of BSN over an ADN. So I am going for my ADN, with plans to do a RN-BSN bridge soon...

  12. Can someone please advise if there is Algebra in the Math portion

    x_factor replied to Bergen24's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    No algebra. I had 1 simple pre-algebra problem, the rest was basic

  13. Is it better to get a C in Nursing Pre-Req, or fail the class and retake?

    x_factor replied to orchids1129's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would talk to an advisor about this. I have never heard of a school that does not allow you to withdraw from a

    x_factor replied to anegash's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Congratulations, that's

  15. HESI A2 calculator questions?

    x_factor replied to solia2013's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    When I took mine, there was a built-in calculator provided throughout the entire math portion of the

  16. Financial Aid (PLEASE HELP)

    x_factor replied to shaylah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Depends on the individual school, I would contact them and see what they

  17. Financial Aid (PLEASE HELP)

    x_factor replied to shaylah's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You have to pay it back, or you'll be denied financial aid until the amount is paid. Pell Grants have stipulations that you must attend a certain period of time (around 66%, or 2/3 of the semester)...

  18. Breaking down...

    x_factor replied to anegash's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The math in the study guide is the exact type of math on the test. Study the math in the study guide and you'll ace the math section. It's mostly elementary (basic) math. Decimals, fractions, ratio...

  19. Bachelor of science degree in obstetrics

    x_factor replied to elham71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have a bachelor's already, you should not have to repeat most of your pre-reqs, they should transfer fine. Only way to know for sure is to contact any schools you are interested in applying to...

  20. Hesi Results

    x_factor replied to FtrRn15's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    It has a FEW added words, just a few. Otherwise they're all the same. I really expected some of the words and at least the math problems to be different, but they aren't, so it was a waste of money...

  21. Hesi Results

    x_factor replied to FtrRn15's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Your scores still look really good with the exception of A&P, and I heard that section is just a beast to begin with. I'm sure you'll do much better when you re-take it, now that you know what to...

  22. Biomedical Ethics!!

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

    Ethical Issus in Healthcare might be similar to Biomedical Ethics... it probably is. I'm currently taking Biomedical Ethics, I'm taking it as my humanities elective. However, I would check with the...

  23. Missing two A & P 1 Classes???

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

    Not saying you can't pass if you miss those two days. Just that you will be behind, and one thing about A&P is that it's hard to catch up once you begin to fall behind. Missing a lab is not ideal...

  24. Missing two A & P 1 Classes???

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

    Missing two classes in a row AND a lab? I hope it's a life and death emergency, anything less than that is not worth missing that much material for, in my
