  1. Confused about Nursing program

    x_factor replied to doxielover304's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Generally it's 2 years one you're accepted into the actual nursing

  2. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    x_factor replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My ADN program I am applying to at my CC does not require Chemistry at all. However, the BSN program I plan to bridge to (and is also my back-up if I don't get accepted into my ADN program), does...

  3. Taking Anatomy and Microbiology

    x_factor replied to juliatina18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine, just stay positive, and keep up with your work and don't fall behind. If you have any trouble understanding concepts, make sure to use your professor's available office hours and meet...

  4. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Same here! I am the WORST at interviews, I start stumbling over my words, and I sound like an uneducated dummy! I get all flustered, and start stuttering, and I just become a complete mess. So glad my...

  5. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Don't feel bad, I went to a large university right out of highschool years ago, I went for 2 semesters and barely attended class. I was immature and overwhelmed by the new, big college scene. I...

  6. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Good luck to you! I've never taken Genetics, sounds a little intimidating but at the same time very

  7. Taking Anatomy and Microbiology

    x_factor replied to juliatina18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P I and Microbiology in the spring, along with english comp II, psychology of development, biomedical ethics, and college algebra. I've taken A&P I and Micro in the past and did...

  8. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Definitely overload, but I am excited to start! General Bio isn't a requirement for us, for sciences they ony require A&P I and II and Microbiology, along with all the other stuff like the math,...

  9. Hesi

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

    Your best bet is to just take your time and study thoroughly for it. For math, use videos from Khan Academy (just google the name, and it'll come up with their website), as well as Math.com. The math...

  10. Where is the best nursing school

    x_factor replied to caringkind11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's many good nursing schools in every state, you just need to do your homework on them. Compile a list of nursing programs that you are interested in, and then research each one. Look at their...

  11. What tape recorder do you prefer?

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

    I don't use tapes, I use a regular digital recorder that I can plug into my laptop via USB and upload my lectures. Mine is just a simple Phillip's recorder I picked up from the bookstore at my school....

  12. RN vs. LPN

    x_factor replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in General Students

    When it comes to jobs and where LPN's are hired, it really depends on the location. Where I live, LPN's work in hospitals, as well as LTC areas. Working at a hospital as a CNA, we had plenty of LPN's...

  13. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    So my schedule finally got sorted out, and I'm no longer taking General Biology and Lab this semester (thank god cause it's not even a pre-req for my program), and I got placed into Microbiology. So...

  14. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    I have a back-up plan if I'm not accepted for fall, but it includes taking an extra semester to complete additional pre-reqs that would be required for the other school, and it'd be a BSN program. If...

  15. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Yeah, at least the last of my pre-reqs that I'll be completing this semester will keep my mind off the wait (though these pre-reqs are the last of the requirements, so I need great grades in them!) so...

  16. I DID IT!!!!!!

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

    Our application isn't available until January 14th, and acceptance letters go out first week of June (right after final grades are submitted). So I have quite a while to wait before I hear anything....

  17. Should I retake A&P one for a higher grade?

    x_factor replied to acmw1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is competitive and many programs hold a lot of weight on the sciences as far as grades go. I would re-take A&P I and aim for an A, and then aim for an A in A&P II as well. Good...

  18. Please help me !!!!

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

    Math.com and Khan Academy video's online, just google Khan

  19. Holy christ school of nursing?

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

    A quick search both here on AllNurses and on Google doesn't come up with anything for this school. Not one website. I'm curious as well, where are they

  20. Swedish Institute?

    x_factor replied to Peaches&cream's topic in New York Nursing

    You need to thoroughly research any school before applying. A quick Google search brought me to the school's website and their nursing program is new, first class admitted January of 2012, which means...

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

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

    I wouldn't make failing and re-taking the class the main subject of the essay. It technically qualifies as an educational challenge, but not really. Many students do poorly in a specific class and...

  22. What type of drug tests do CNAs get?

    x_factor replied to esand's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You won't fail by inhaling second-hand pot smoke. You will fail if you smoked it

  23. What kind of nurse do you want to be?

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

    I enjoyed cardio-pulmonary for the same reasons I loved that part of A&P when I first took it, the inner-workings of the heart fascinates me. I enjoyed it just because I learned so much listening...

  24. Bad resumes/good resumes *rant*

    x_factor replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I totally agree with this post and every point in it! If you can submit a resume rife with incorrect grammar and punctuation, what's going on when you're charting, drawing up medications, or...

  25. cNa to rn bridge

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

    Even with the few existing "CNA to LPN bridge" programs that appear to exist out there, the time frame to complete them is almost the exact same as starting from the beginning. They give a minscule...
