  1. Concerned about Biology/Microbiology!

    CDEWannaBe replied to kdh5139's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When we got to cell respiration in biology I checked out "Cell biology for Dummies" from the library. It was great! Helpful in Micro too. There are also youtube videos that teach the different...

  2. Please Help! Pre-Nursing student :)

    CDEWannaBe replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call the schools and ask how they screen applicants and if there is anything you can do to improve your chances. If you got a C in any of your prereqs then consider taking them again. The old grade...

  3. Getting into nursing school. Need help!

    CDEWannaBe replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ASN programs aren't for less intelligent students, they just take less time and you earn an associate's instead of a bachelor's. Contact the schools you're applying to and ask the GPAs and...

  4. Question regarding insulin administration

    CDEWannaBe replied to mappers's topic in Patient Medications

    I've had type 1 for over 30 years and have never heard the 50% rule. However, in theory it should work. Your co-workers rule is just that if blood sugar is at least 160 (because 80 or above is safe)...

  5. Application Essay

    CDEWannaBe replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are the ideas you're considering? It would probably be best to choose something you have personal experience with or related to why you're choosing nursing as a career. Most campuses and faculty...

  6. Any Pre-Nursing students working full time or know anyone that is working full time?

    CDEWannaBe replied to babyv15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think most jobs will take over your life if you let them. Since starting classes (I only do 1 per semester since I have a young son) I've learned to: - Plan classes so they coordinate with work...

  7. Chemistry--Conversions and sig figs

    CDEWannaBe replied to Ranaynay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This youtube video of the Sig Fig song will totally help you get

  8. Anatomy and Physiology I

    CDEWannaBe replied to jdlabadia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every teacher is different. You might look at reveiws on RateMyProfessor.com My school did Anatomy in first semester and Phys in second. The memorization part of Anatomy was daunting, but use flash...

  9. Accelerated BSN programs

    CDEWannaBe replied to thecareerchanger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm preparing to apply to an accelerated program. I've been picking away at prereqs at a community college, where classes are cheaper and there are more evening and online options. It's different...

  10. Info Please. Anyone know of online schools to become an RN

    CDEWannaBe replied to Trina71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Do you have a community college close by? Some offer part-time RN programs so you can take some classes online and some in the

  11. Nursing School Insurance and Pre-Existing Condition

    CDEWannaBe replied to jwrands's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for posting this question and for everyone's responses. My nursing program also requires health insurance (of course, since we'll be exposed to all sorts of diseases and injuries in the...

  12. Am I doing the right thing?

    CDEWannaBe replied to createsomechange's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The time really does fly by. I was concerned about going back to school in my late 30's and as a mom and full-time worker. But I've actually been a much better student this time around. It's not...

  13. Advice for an unsure pre-nursing student

    CDEWannaBe replied to blueyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The job market really varies by region. Have you looked on job search sites and in the want ads to see what it's like in your area? If you got financial aid for your BA then a lot of your financial...

  14. RN-BSN online, without chem requirement

    CDEWannaBe replied to AOX4RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You shouldn't avoid other programs, just take the Chemistry class! I don't know how you would do well in Physiology without it. I failed Chemistry in high school and was so afraid to take it. But...

  15. Help me figure out a study technique!

    CDEWannaBe replied to lindsayk728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See if your local library or bookstore has "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microbiology" or "Microbiology Demystified". You don't have to read them, just use them as a reference for difficult...

  16. What is the best course of action?

    CDEWannaBe replied to Tofukid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First find a school that will work for you, then see what the prereqs are. In your case I would look for an accelerated BSN program, which is for folks who already have a bachelors. In addition to...

  17. Should I have a baby now or in a few years

    CDEWannaBe replied to mickeyxmita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have reliable childcare you could probably start taking prereqs when your child is 1. I know people do it sooner, but during that first year as a parent your time is not your own and you're...

  18. Tulsa Community College part time program

    CDEWannaBe replied to yobe_sweet's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I was planning on the part-time program too and was bummed they phased it out. Now you can do classes at your own pace, but only 1 nursing class is available in the evenings and 1 online. All others...

  19. Good BSN programs in Tulsa

    CDEWannaBe replied to sgc29's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    The TCC program has a high pass rate for NCLEX and graduates can find jobs. Unfortunately they've phased out the part-time RN program. Still a great place to do prereqs and get an ASN. NSU-Broken...

  20. Can you help me please?

    CDEWannaBe replied to rthompson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The timeline is, sadly, pretty normal for an ASN. Takes most students 3-4 years. You may contact the dean of the math & science department and ask if they will waive the BIO rule and let you take...

  21. San Antonio College Nursing Student confues about the price of Fundamental of Nursing

    CDEWannaBe replied to rockittothemoon's topic in Texas Nursing

    The teacher might have requested a new edition, which is more expensive. Check the ISBN # against the Amazon book. If it's not a book you plan to keep, I love renting from Chegg.com. Super cheap and...

  22. here's my set of plans of taking RN route. please i really need an expert opinion

    CDEWannaBe replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2.5 years may be average wait, but often those who didn't make it into nursing program on first attempt didn't have prereqs finished or didn't have great grades. Get A's and don't apply until you have...

  23. How am I evaluated when applying?

    CDEWannaBe replied to teminahan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools use a point system to assess students because they have more qualified applicants that they have open spots in the program. It differs for each school but usually includes getting a...

  24. Any Pre-Nursing students working full time or know anyone that is working full time?

    CDEWannaBe replied to babyv15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't have kids, and especially if you're single, you should be able to do 2 or even 3 classes a semester. You'll never have an easier time in your life to be a student. Just choose the...

  25. pre-reqs how much would it cost and how long in CC

    CDEWannaBe replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, didn't realize you were a resident alien and already had a green card. I work in financial aid at a community college and deal frequently with international students who aren't eligible for...
