So, this post is all based off of reading a book called "When the Servant becomes the Master." It is a book about addiction by a doctor certified in both addiction and family medicine. It made me realize how complex both the behavioral and medicinal ...

Hi, I currently have my bachelors in psychology. I had a 3.62 when I graduated. I have 8 of the 12 prereqs to enter the accelerated bsn program at West Virginia University where I currently reside in Morgantown, WV. However, it would not be until nex...

I won't be applying to nursing school for a couple years (year off and then year to do prereqs). I just wanted to know the GPA of people accepted recently. Right now my gpa is a 3.62, but if I use the forgiveness policy for chem I'm going to bring it...

Hey, I am not in nursing school yet, but I like to plan ahead and would like to choose my specialty. Currently, I have a BA in psych and am thinking of doing psych nursing. However, I am not incredibly outgoing, even though I love psychology. I also ...

Thanks for the advice. I actually talked to an adviser and she said because I took a biology course before the chem course, the biology would be my first attempt grade. She also said that because USF has a forgiveness policy they would honor it for m...

I have all the credits to graduate with a bachelors, but I think I'm going to hold off graduation and apply for the upper division. I don't want to be rushed. My friend did second bachelors at FSU and finished with a 2.7 when her first bachelors was ...

I was wondering if anyone has information on how to become a CNA in California and in Florida. I want to be certified in both places. I know LA city college has a couple courses, but not sure if those are sufficient. I really don't know anything abou...

Do you know how many credits you have to take? There is a class at LA city college that is 6 credits, but I'm not sure if that is a class or just a course

Would you guys mind sharing your gpas? You can pm if you don't want want to post it.

Congrats Narika! That gives me hope for when I apply next year because I have similar stats.

I was browing through this website to see the opportunities for nurse practitioners in Florida, my state. I saw that many people were dissatisfied with the hours they received, the compensation, and the level of autonomy, granted they even found a jo...

That's an interesting story. What is it you learned about doctors that didn't appeal to you? I was also interested in psych, but have heard mixed reviews.

I personally would not advise this. I took chem during a summer term and ended up dropping it. If I had finished I might have gotten a C if I was lucky. I remember getting back those tests crying because I had studied so hard and my grades didn't ref...

It is very difficult to obtain a volunteer position anywhere, especially in healthcare. I called the hospital and asked to speak to volunteer services and they were able to set up an orientation over the phone. If this does not work, then visit the h...

Ok, so it's a while before I apply to nursing school, but I literally worry about it every day. I really want to get into University of South Florida and they require an essay. If I retake chem (and get a B), with the forgiveness policy, my gpa will ...

Did any of you guys find out about your statuses?

Affinity, I'm sorry you didn't get in, but don't give up. Why don't you apply to FGCU? It is a bit less competitive and tuition is still really cheap. If this is your passion then either reapply or apply somewhere else. I switched from nursing to psy...

Thank you. Congrats on getting in on your first choice:)

What was your gpa Samiam? You can pm if it's too personal.

Congrats!

I was telling my dad that a lot of people on this site who live in Florida have had trouble finding nurse practitioner jobs in Florida that are full time and pay well. My dad told me that the universal healthcare bill that will become effective in 20...

So, I definitely plan to continue taking the prereqs to get into nursing school, but for now I am taking a year long break to engage in this life skills program in California (near LA, right now I'm in Florida). I think it would benefit me greatly fo...

How do you know whether the school will continue to offer the msn? Do you have to call them each individually? I'm highly interested in USF later on.

Ok, so I posted this same inquiry on this pre med forum and I felt like maybe I would get nicer responses on here lol. I definitely want to go to nursing school. I'm just not sure about graduate school. In my state,Florida, nurse practitioners don't ...
