    whattodo4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alright I am hoping someone can share some insight. Many accelerated nursing programs when you look online say you have must have: A,B,C,D,E pre-requisites with at least a C+/B- and a gpa of a 3.0 to...

  3. Getting a C in Nursing

    whattodo4 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    So I am wondering does a getting a C "bone" you in regards to summer externships? From what I have found so far most places want/strongly require nothing lower than a "B" in nursing classes. Does one...

  4. Do you aspirate before giving an IM deltoid injection?

    whattodo4 replied to seasalt1023's topic in Patient Medications

    watching IM shots in the hospital whilst in clinical- I have never seen aspiration, yet when we do labs at school we have to aspirate. Thus for the school I will aspirate but in practice I wont,...

  5. So many nursing majors in my class!

    whattodo4 replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Job market is very tough and whilst nursing is not as "guaranteed" as it use to be it is still a very solid degree to graduate with . I.e... The unemployed nursing grad is still better off than the...

  6. What do I do? CC -> University

    whattodo4 replied to daninthenyc's topic in General Students

    You can apply as many times as you want to the program, agsin rutgers only admits for the fall semster . As for how competitive tis hard to say , I know people who did not have most of the lower level...

  7. What do I do? CC -> University

    whattodo4 replied to daninthenyc's topic in General Students

    Yes rutgers allows you to apply to their nursing program once you complete 24 credits, those credits can be in anything though I highly recommend taking the low level nursing courses, hip, cultural...

    whattodo4 replied to daninthenyc's topic in General Students

    I took both anatomy and phys at Essex county college and they transferee over fine at rutgers newark. I have no clue about online courses, but cc classes should transfer with no issue. In anycase I...

  9. Has anyone been accepted to nursing school with B's RECENTLY?

    whattodo4 replied to alecav's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into a bsn program with a "B" gpa of 3.3 so it can be done. Of course everyone wants the A but a B won't kill you. At the same time I think I wrote a killer essay and I did have some outside...

  11. I'm a culinary student. Applying for ER tech w/ no experience

    whattodo4 replied to Mshotsauce's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It says no exp required but up against someone with exp, 99% of the time it will go to the experienced. Now you do have the know someone who works there advantage which is huge , that might just put...

  12. ADN.

    whattodo4 replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    I would not feel ashamed, don't let the haters/negativity get to you. Whether it is BSN or ADN, getting into either program is quite a challenge. The days of ADN being guaranteed for admission because...

  13. Disadvantaged not being a CNA/PCT?

    whattodo4 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    No doubt cna/pct will have an immediate advantage. But to say "well if you don't have prior cna/pct experience you better quit nursing school" is wrong. You will be brought up to speed, they will...

  14. Accelerated Programs Vs 4 year programs

    whattodo4 replied to Lewist1016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finish prereqs and apply for both, I assume both need the prereqs anyway. What runsalot said is more or less true. Accelrated is 15 months or a it more and for 2nd degree bachelor - traditional it is...

  15. Honestly, what do you think?

    whattodo4 replied to cee cee g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take both at the same time, they will overlap at some

  16. How many people are in your nursing class?

    whattodo4 replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

    Clincal groups are about 8-10 students per group. Actual class is plaintive larger. Just counting those in my cohort I believe we are 40-60, that is not counting the many pre-nurisng

  17. The "I will never get there" feeling

    whattodo4 replied to WNTfanM9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good that all the prereqs are done-that is one less thing to worry about. I would recommend that if you do not get in and if you can afford the time and money- look into being a CNA, PCT or some sort...

  18. Other ways to be more competetive

    whattodo4 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    assuming there is some sort of essay and or interview part I would really highlight your past healthcare experience, even if the school does not require previous HC

  19. Hospital Clinicals

    whattodo4 replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    I assume during the clinical semester the first 4-5 weeks would probably be you training at the school how to do vitals, head toe assment etc... then you actually go to the clinical and perform on...

  20. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

    whattodo4 replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes you can but bear in mind you still have to apply to the regular college's nursing program and if you don't get in there will still be some "wait" period. However some colleges require that you...

    whattodo4 replied to rhartman85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a friend who graduated with a BA in oysch, did an accelrated nursin program and is now a nurse so pysch to nurse is possible. At this point I would complete as many prereqs as I can, that is...

    whattodo4 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Assuming you got into both and could afford both i would go rn. If you do end up going lpn, then do lpn-rn as soon as you can, reasoning being that at least where I live , lpns don't get hired in...

  25. The competition....

    whattodo4 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    that's more of a fault with the school's admission polices than the student. Some school's put GPA on a pedestal over everything else, some look at the whole package-it sounds like you are at one of...
