  1. Bodies, The Exhibit

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

    I did not make the controvery up. It's been documented for years, best shown in this 20/20 news video from about 5 years ago. Take a few minutes to be informed before making a decision decision...

  2. Bodies, The Exhibit

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

    I love anything Anatomy related, but like a previous poster I didn't see the exhibit for moral reasons. While the exhibits are treated like any other museum piece, the truth is that these are human...

  3. Biology switching to nursing!

    CDEWannaBe replied to Jhuynh916's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know a lot about your situation, so it's hard to give advice. Seems like it would be tough to complete 4 classes between end of spring term and beggining of fall. The reality is, if you ever...

  4. Is my GPA good enough?

    CDEWannaBe replied to dsingh24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can tell you a solid cut off line. Every school has a minimum GPA, but you are competing against the other students for a limited number of openings. If you call the schools you're interested...

  5. Is my GPA good enough?

    CDEWannaBe replied to dsingh24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Contact the nursing schools you are interested in and ask. Each program gives different weight to overall, prereq, and science class

  6. Can I still apply with a very low GPA?

    CDEWannaBe replied to kbL05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't meet the minimum requirement your application won't be considered. You can either try to find a different program with less stringent requirements or take or retake classes to improve...

    CDEWannaBe replied to NurseRies's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Thank you for being cool too HappyWife

  8. ADN or BSN?

    CDEWannaBe replied to Doula2RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has different circumstances. Do your research and then choose the option that works best for you. It sounds like you've made a very good choice. The only thing I would check out is if you...

  9. Apple working on blood glucose monitoring device

    CDEWannaBe replied to NurseRies's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    NurseRies- First off, thanks for sharing this. I've had diabetes for 36 years and in my lifetime it's been amazing to see the technology advances and the huge impact they've made on managing diabetes....

  10. Having trouble with microscope

    CDEWannaBe replied to kenya1005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was like ShelbyaStar too! I just kept practicing and then one day I was the "expert" everyone asked for microscope help. Don't be shy and just keep messing with the microscope and looking all...

  11. Apple working on blood glucose monitoring device

    CDEWannaBe replied to NurseRies's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Yikes, I'm a Christians with type 1 diabetes. It does sort of have a mark of the beast quality, yet I want one for the practical value it

  12. Applying to school

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

    Talk with hospitals or places you want to work before getting the Masters with no hands on nursing experience. In my area you can't get a job without a nursing license and you can't pass the NCLEX...

  13. Nutrition Class

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

    Check the nursing school degree plan and see which actual course numbers are sufficient to meet the requirement. Don't

  14. book to keep: physio or micro?

    CDEWannaBe replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is good for overall knowledge but it won't be a book you'll have to refer to often once you're in nursing school. Anatomy & Physiology of the human body is something you do need to...

  15. Any other moms

    CDEWannaBe replied to kkb91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely! I attended Tulsa Community College for my prereqs and about half the class was working moms. There was one young woman who had a baby 2 weeks before starting our Physiology class! Don't...

  16. History

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

    My Revolutionary War - Civil Wary history class required us to visit a museum. There was an amazing museum within 10 miles of my house that I'd never visited. I really encourage you if you have the...

  17. What would you do?

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

    You're only 31! Are you seriously going to stay in a dead end job another 40 years? Save up your money and start taking your prerequisite classes so you can be prepared to make a change if you keep...

  18. Nursing School and Fatherhood

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

    Babies require a lot of care and you won't believe how much laundry you'll do. And an accelerated nursing program will be busy. But you'll do what you have to in order to succeed. The reality of...

  19. How do I get over being so shy?

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

    Shyness is just a personality trait. It's not a bad thing. To help yourself you might get a Myers-Briggs personality book (one of the most famous is "Type Talk") and learn about yourself and how you...

  20. Help! Need advice and options!

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

    You'll have to start looking online for programs in your area. If you find some that you meet the minimum requirements for, then call them and as if they think you have a chance. In my area that...

  21. Tips for Chemistry

    CDEWannaBe replied to s2bLuluRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got "Chemistry for Dummies" from the public library and read over it in advance. My textbook also came with a liitle booklet that had math tricks for Chemistry that was super helpful. Make sure...

  22. Do BSN programs require a language?

    CDEWannaBe replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have said, you need to see what your school requires. I've attended universities in several states over many years and all have required at least one year (2 semesters) of foreign language....

  23. What guided you to Nursing School?

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

    God has led me to a career in nursing. I've had type 1 diabetes since age 4. In recent years I've been able to use my 30+ experience with diabetes to help people posting questions in online diabetes...

  24. Am I competitive at GTCC and forsyth tech?

    CDEWannaBe replied to FutureRNMel's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    "Blindly" was probably too harsh. What I meant was that some people just look at the school's minimum reqirements, but they never contact the school staff to see what qualification students who've...

  25. STAT MY MATH LAB

    CDEWannaBe replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope, but you can buy one from Pearson website. Just get the regular MyMathLab code. The more expensive MyStatsLab doesn't really do you much good. Also, unless you got your book for free, rent it...
