  1. cNa to rn bridge

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

    There are no existing CNA to RN bridge programs anywhere. Many nursing students work as CNA's to gain hands-on experience before entering a program, and some school's even require CNA certification...

  2. Hesi

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

    If depends on your school, each school is different in how much weight they hold with HESI scores. I would contact the specific school you are applying to, and talk to them about their admission...

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

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

    Getting to shadow some of the nurses in both ICU and ER, I just did not enjoy ICU at all. I just did not form an interest in it, but the nurses I met that worked ICU loved it. It's one of those area's...

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

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

    Working as a CNA in a large hospital on a busy medsurg unit, I floated to many units, some of which I hated and others I loved. When I was in nursing school for LPN, I had this idea that I definitely...

  5. Why is it that prereqs are so minimal for some programs?

    x_factor replied to victormansella's topic in General Students

    You're welcome, good luck and let us know how it

  6. Why is it that prereqs are so minimal for some programs?

    x_factor replied to victormansella's topic in General Students

    Possibly, I would go to the school and speak with financial aid as soon as they open after the holiday. At my school, you technically "should" have financial aid filed by a certain deadline (for this...

  7. Why is it that prereqs are so minimal for some programs?

    x_factor replied to victormansella's topic in General Students

    Very do-able if you have the time to devote to it (if you don't work full-time, have children, ect.). You can take A&P 1, statistics, growth and development, and nutrition in the spring....

  8. Kaplan or Netters flash cards for a&p 1?

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

    I have the Kaplan ones and used them when I took A&P I and they worked wonderfully. They're broken down and seperated by body system and are organized well. I recommend those, but haven't used...

  10. Nursing student come April

    x_factor replied to nursinggirl21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on starting the journey towards nursing! I admire your ambition and drive to help others who are going through what you've gone through. I just wanted to mention a couple things, as I've been...

  11. What to study for human anatomy??

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

    My post should've read blood-flow through the heart, not... the word that it says. Wow, gotta love

  12. What to study for human anatomy??

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

    A&P isn't that difficult, it's just a lot of memorization. If you want to start memorizing stuff, I suggest the names of bones and their locations (carpals, tarsals, metacarpals, mandible, ect.),...

  13. Grades are great except for one prereq!

    x_factor replied to futurenurse912's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine, still apply! Many school's hold extra weight on the sciences, but all of your sciences are fine except one, so you'll be fine. Apply, and good luck to

  15. Did i pass or.....

    x_factor replied to nerilene's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, there's been a couple people on this site lately to report the good pop-up, only to be brought to the credit card page a day or two later, eventually to find out that they had

  16. kinda confused ??? and cant decide

    x_factor replied to kml0807's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You have two choices. You can either become dedicated to success and do what it takes to pass the class so that you can become an RN, or you can let your fear of failing define you, and settle for...

  17. A&P I Spring 2013

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

    Yep, count me

  18. Spring Semester'13 Schedule

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked through fall semester as a CNA and took 4 classes (intermediate algebra, english comp I, general psychology and history of art). I left my job at the end of the semester because for spring...

  19. What was the hardest course youve taken?

    x_factor replied to MeekaNichole's topic in General Students

    Pre-nursing: Microbiology. *shudder* Nursing: Pharmacology. *bigger

  20. Spring Semester'13 Schedule

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro, Chem and Statistics? You are my hero! Seriously, chemistry makes me want to cry just thinking about it, lol. I love sciences, but chemistry is eeeeevil! And I took Micro before and it was a...

  21. Taking physiology before human anatomy

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

    I do not advise taking physiology before anatomy. It's possible to pass the class doing it that way, but it will be much, much harder to do so. Anatomy is memorizing all the parts of the body and...

  22. Much needed advice please:)

    x_factor replied to wchelsea's topic in General Students

    Never heard of that. My friend just graduated an ADN program earlier this month and never worked a day in her life, or volunteered, in any healthcare field. She had a job lined up the week of...

  23. A&P II Summer Session '13

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be taking A&P II over the summer as well. I think I've mentioned to you before that I had taken A&P previously but my credit didn't transfer when I transferred to a different college....

  24. Spring Semester'13 Schedule

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I originally took A&P with Pharmacology, Microbiology and Computer Science and did fine. Nutrition was an extremely easy class when I took it. A&P is really just a lot of memorization, so stay...

  25. How do you think like a nurse?

    x_factor replied to Born2Care4All's topic in General Students

    While technically both are correct, the more correct answer (at least from what I'm seeing in the question) is B. You are, in a way, preventing the spread of bacteria by cleaning the wound. However,...
