    i♥words replied to G.Linda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the individual school's policy. Some schools will take your first retake score and drop the original score. Some schools take all of the grades, including the original score and...

    How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    i♥words replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Yep. I cannot tell a lie, so if I don't have a truthful reason for not emailing my notes, I just say okay and do it. At one point in a pre-req class a classmate sent me an email after almost every...

    I start nursing school in a couple of weeks, and I really don't know. I feel the need to experience every area of nursing (which I know is pretty impossible). I like the thought of ICU, labor &...

    The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    What study habits work and don't work for nursing school?

    i♥words replied to kayleen4246's topic in General Students

    So that's what that means. I keep hearing that you can't study for nursing classes like you studied for prereqs, which confuses me, because I studied so hard for prereqs. I've never been good at the...

    I may have snorted while reading this. Certainly some young people are mourning the loss of their social lives, but not me. I am not even sure I ever had a social life to lose. And now I feel sort...

    I understand what you're saying, and I don't disagree. However, as one of those girls who started college right out of high school, lives off of her parents' income, and has zero healthcare...

    I'm not sure if I will need them for use in class since I don't start until the fall, but I will say that in all of my past classes I liked having my textbooks with me. I usually keep the textbook out...

    Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?

    i♥words replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't offer much advice, but I will say that just your phrasing of "Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?" makes it sound like you have already made your decision. It really doesn't matter what...

    Option of textbooks or ebooks

    i♥words replied to JNHERRIN's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on what ebook program your textbooks are on. My textbooks are published by Elsevier, and I'm using their Pageburst app for my laptop and tablet. The pluses are that you actually...

    i♥words replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well first you should apply and see if you get in. :) I've often found discrepancies between advisers' comments and reality, to put it gently. Second, are there any other schools, both ADN and BSN,...
