  1. What are my chances of getting into nursing school?

    windsurfer8 replied to Darkacid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) You can worry if you want. It makes no difference. You will either get in or not. 2) I earned my BSN in 2006. I applied once. 3)

  2. Cost of UMASS Boston ABSN Program

    windsurfer8 replied to DaniCat25's topic in School, College Programs

    It took me about 2 minutes to find the tuition for out of state. Just log onto their website. It is over double what in state is. It gives the cost per credit hour. Then just add them

  3. Being a tech has made me question nursing

    windsurfer8 replied to MarissaSN's topic in General Students

    Ok then don't be a nurse. Quit and do something else. Simple answer. Life isn't that complicated. If you are in nursing school and have no idea if it is like "being a tech" then I don't know what...

  4. Failed Anatomy

    windsurfer8 replied to Alicia93's topic in General Students

    You failed AP. It doesn't matter if you "want" to be a nurse. You must pass AP to move on. Obviously you do not want it bad enough to study your max effort. If you DID study max effort then you will...

  5. Am I qualified for an ABSN or direct entry MSN program?

    windsurfer8 replied to Jhaller's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing on there that matters is your bachelors and your GPA. You may be "qualified" for anything, but schools have different requirements. Contact the school you plan to apply to then see...

  6. BSN, LPN, or asociates here is my fear.

    windsurfer8 replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in General Students

    What you control is how hard you work. If studying 15 hours a week isn't cutting it then you go to 20 or 30...or 40. Sitting around worrying does nothing. I believe you need to gamble on yourself...

  7. Feeling overwhelmed

    windsurfer8 replied to alexandrajenkins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have quantifiable data that points to successful completion of the course. If you do not feel "confident" then that is on you. You are talking about a subjective scenario. I earned my BSN 10...

  8. Is the HOAE hard?

    windsurfer8 replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter if it is "hard" or "easy". If you want to be a nurse and it is required then you do it. What difference does it make if it is "hard"? Are you not going to do it if it is...

  9. Has the board ever denied a license for not disclosing all attended schools?

    windsurfer8 replied to Tha_Notorious_Psych_RN's topic in General Students

    It doesn't matter if it is "valid". You are required to provide all transcripts. You don't then get to pick and choose which ones are

  10. Scary A&P 2 Course (venting)

    windsurfer8 replied to Sweet.tigerlily's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes you have to do things you do not like. If your plan is to be a nurse then you are required to complete AP pre req. It does not matter if you "like" it or you prefer something else. It is...

  11. Why are some people on here so rude?

    windsurfer8 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe "quit complaining" is what you need to do? There is a time and place for everything. There is a point where complaining is simply going to make your life more difficult or is a waste of your...

  12. Do I have a shot at an ABSN program?

    windsurfer8 replied to Aspiring-student's topic in General Students

    You have a 32% chance. No one here can answer this. Look at the school where you want to apply. If you meet the requirements to apply..then

  13. Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

    windsurfer8 replied to misskayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What situation are you "stuck" in? You have no money? Ok that isn't surprising. You could view it in another light...possibly that you are luck you have a free place to live. Being humble and...

  14. Nursing "students" have no rights, no protection ... but...

    windsurfer8 replied to standupspeakout's topic in General Students

    Why would a "nursing organization" protect a nursing student? They are NOT nurses. NOT nurses in any way shape or form and are subject to the rules of the school they are attending. No nursing...

  15. Worried my Professor isn't covering everything

    windsurfer8 replied to Kinda Flustered's topic in General Students

    Complete the class as directed. Yes you are learning the basics, but really you are building a good work ethic. As a nurse you will need to complete required tasks as ordered by the MD. You may not...

  16. Getting into nursing school when you have a previous bachelor's degree in something else

    windsurfer8 replied to jabita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Starting your nursing career by even thinking about lying is not

  17. College algebra/math/any math related to nursing

    windsurfer8 replied to Hope_07's topic in General Students

    Yes you need to know how to do math to be an RN. Reason 1. It is REQUIRED to get your degree. That alone means you need to know it. 2. If need to understand what dose of medication you are...

  18. Withdrawing From School...Can They Hold My Seat?

    windsurfer8 replied to Pumpkinn's topic in General Students

    Contact the school. I doubt they will save a seat for you. Many students have many challenges occurring in their lives and holding seats would end up becoming a nightmare. You need to explain the...

  19. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    windsurfer8 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    You are assuming a ton of stuff dude. You are assuming this and that and have no clue what you are talking about. Also you are in nursing school...No matter WHAT when you graduate you will be a...

  20. Fitness Nursing

    windsurfer8 replied to pedsnurse112's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of anything even remotely related. You may need to come up with your own business idea. Most experts in fitness are not generally nurses. Most people with fitness/kinesiology...

  21. I need some help getting things organized in my work/life balance

    windsurfer8 replied to MrMurdoch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You cannot do nursing school online. You have clinicals you must attend. If you dislike "long hours" do not get into nursing. I often work 15 hour

  22. 4 traffic tickets in 1 day

    windsurfer8 replied to student789's topic in General Students

    What "website"? You will know if you have a

  23. Crazy teachers

    windsurfer8 replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So what do you want the people on this board to do about it? You either complete the class and move on or you quit. You think you won't have challenging teachers? IF you become a nurse you will...

  24. criminal background

    windsurfer8 replied to agwalthney's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    "seems appropriate" is not factual. In nursing "seems" is not a word you want to use. 1. Contact the school you want to apply to. Be honest. 2. Contact the board of nursing in the state you want...

  25. Being depressed

    windsurfer8 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You stated (not me) that you were depressed because school it 2 years long. What do you want then? 1 year 364 days? Would that make you not depressed? You are the one saying this ridiculus stuff...
