  1. Kind of Bummed

    AliF replied to kingdave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you get study guides for the test? It can be so much information, and if you missed something little and it winds up being heavily covered on the test, you're in trouble. I got a 73 on an A&P...

  2. First semester back and I'm struggling....

    AliF replied to amber.babiesinbloom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I study a lot later at night, and I take online classes. I'm doing much better now that my older one is in school all day, so then I can study when the baby naps. I also lean on my husband to do...

  4. Necessary to take Bio I before A&P I?

    AliF replied to craftypepper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing fine in A&P without taking college Bio. I think it would be helpful though, but it's doable without

  5. Losing hope getting into Nursing school

    AliF replied to hbladybug's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into taking pre-reqs online, like through edukan? That would get you started.

  7. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    AliF replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep. We talk about body systems and their functions at the same time as the anatomy of those systems. So when you learn joints, you learn all the functions as well as as learn to label them. I like...

  8. Microbiology class

    AliF replied to lisboa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken it, but I've seen some others talk about it. Maybe do a search for online micro class on this board and you'll see what people have said. I'm thinking of taking it next semester though...

  9. feeling alone in this

    AliF replied to redsoxgirl78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds really tough. Hopefully next year you'll be able to take/get more financial aid if needed because he's been out of work. That can help temporarily support your family while you work on...

  10. Which Specialty Do You Have Your Eye On?

    AliF replied to palemoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm leaning towards NICU- I want to be an NNP. Although, when I first started this journey less than 6 months ago, I wanted to be a CNM, so I'm reserving the right to change my mind once I get into...

  11. How's everyone's fall semester going?

    AliF replied to ptbunny333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Nursing school wait lists and why are more nurses not pursuing a business degree?

    AliF replied to cameroondiva's topic in General Nursing

    It can't be that unsual for nurses to get their MBA- google MSN MBA and you will pull up a ton of dual degree masters programs formullated specifically for

  13. Microbiology class

    AliF replied to lisboa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Edukan has one. You can even take it as an 8 week class (I love 8 week classes, I can just dedicate myself to learning one class at a time). There's one that start in October I believe....

  14. How hard is nursing school for a student who is average or below in math & science?

    AliF replied to kelkel587's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have to really want it. I'm much better at English, writing, and social studies types of classes but I am fascinated by the human body- and really want to be a nurse. If you're absolutely...

  15. The Truth to the Pearson Vue Trick & My Results Timeline

    AliF replied to KER5050's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. What exactly does the HesiA2 score mean?

    AliF replied to guest518421's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think (not knowing much about that particular program) that your stats sound awesome, and you have great chances.

  17. applying with minimum gpa

    AliF replied to rgs829's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call the school/s you're interested in and find out how competitive the program is. Many schools consider other factors than just GPA or have a wait list for everyone who meets general

  18. Take Biology I AND A&P I at the same time?

    AliF replied to JollypreRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never took college biology and am doing fine in A&P. I think that they might actually be helpful to take together, as there will be some overlap. Good

  19. really confused!

    AliF replied to ohsopretty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can go straight to a BSN program without any other nursing

  20. Practicum Essay's... Need help ASAP pleasssee!

    AliF replied to Bensonya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with Beth- I think writing about your personal experience and strong desire to work in NICU will be a great idea. Good

  21. pre-reqs for adn program

    AliF replied to medicina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does sound like a CNA course- the nice thing about it is you can work as a CNA while you get your nursing degree, to get some hospital

  22. 1st A&P Tests!

    AliF replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay for an 85! I've had 2 (accelerated A&P) and pulled an 86 and an 84. I was actually disappointed, since I was really hoping for an A in the class. I still have time though, hopefully we'll both...

  23. TEAS Results

    AliF replied to KayteeGee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kayteegee, have you thought about applying for an LPN program or looked into other programs that don't require a teas score? Your GPA is AWESOME, it shows that you're able to handle coursework and...

  24. Should I apply to both BSN & accelerated BSN programs?

    AliF replied to NM117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It can't hurt. If you have the funds to apply to lots of programs, you might as well. Then if you get lucky, you'll have choices. Also, since you have your pre-reqs done, even a non-accelerated BSN...

  25. Who is worried about their first test?

    AliF replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students
