  1. Diabetes Self-Management Education

    CDEWannaBe replied to Leslie B's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I understand you're advocating for more diabetes education, which is wonderful. But what type of education do you think is effective for

  2. Can I take Chemisty and Nutrition together ? HELP

    CDEWannaBe replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nutrition is pretty easy at most

  3. A Mother Seeking Healthcare Career Advice for High School Junior

    CDEWannaBe replied to Psata's topic in Nursing Career

    Your daughter can find career testing online or get tests from her school's academic advisor. These plus Myers Briggs personality tests can help determine the type of career your daughter is best...

  4. Is a 'B' in A&P a deal breaker

    CDEWannaBe replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't withdraw from the class this semester with the grade you have. The W will show on your transcripts. Go forward and maybe meet with an academic advisor in the nursing department to see if...

  5. Ain't nobody got time for DEBT! (paying for nursing school)

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

    Look on the local hospital websites and in their job postings for scholarship opportunities. Most hospitals that do this require you to work for them 6 months for each semester of school they pay...

  6. Confused pre-nursing major

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

    If you want to start in Fall 2014 you'd need to apply now. Your application will let you show which classes you still have in-progress and then you'd forward the school your final grades after the...

  7. Pre-nursing degree GPA.

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

    I've just been accepted to an accelerated BSN program with a really similar background to yours. I did badly in my undergrad and my GPA was less than a 3.0. But I had gotten straight A's my senior...

  8. help finding a nursing school that i can get into within the first try

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

    I think you're looking for something that doesn't exist. California is an extremely tough area to be admitted into a nursing school But there's not an accredited school that won't be competitive....

  9. Oh NO! Just got the SCOOP on my Chemistry Professor!

    CDEWannaBe replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not kidding. Schools really do this. A tenured professor has a job (and paycheck) until they retire, so the school keeps giving them students. International instructors can be the toughest....

  10. 4 yr old child and 2 science class's plus ASL and a coop

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

    You can do it if your husband and other family will help with child care to give you time to study and to make sure you can make it to classes and labs even if your child is sick or your husband has...

  11. This Is My Goal

    CDEWannaBe replied to Theor23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No matter where you think you'll end up, start taking the prereqs at a community college. Just verify they'll transfer to the 4-year school. Take the classes that you'll need for either the...

  12. A Prereq In Progress When Applying?

    CDEWannaBe replied to lrahm16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having one prereq in progress isn't a big deal. I was just accepted to a super competitive Accelerated BSN program with Microbiology in progress (have a 4.0 GPA in the other prereq

  13. I am afriad to go to nursing school...

    CDEWannaBe replied to changes13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've gotten good advice. No industry is a sure thing. Nursing gives you different opportunities... you could work in a hospital, or long term care facility, as a school nurse, or a camp nurse....

  14. Whats my next step after I get my GED?

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

    Online high schools really are a good option. You're going to need really good algebra and chemistry skills to apply to nursing school. If you go the GED route then you're smart to take classes at a...

  15. Oh NO! Just got the SCOOP on my Chemistry Professor!

    CDEWannaBe replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take another class. A bad professor makes it difficult to learn the material and can threaten your GPA. I work at a community college. Unless the professor does something illegal, the school tends to...

  16. How to increase my chances of getting into a BSN program

    CDEWannaBe replied to zzyyd44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just accepted into an accelerated BSN program that takes 35 students of over 700 that apply. My cumulative GPA was 3.1 (I slacked badly in my sophomore and junior years). But I had straight...

  17. Family not supportive

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

    Are your mom and sister supportive of you overall? If they are always cutting you down, then ignore them and prove them wrong. But if they are usually supportive, you need to hear what they are...

  18. Is my courseload reasonable?

    CDEWannaBe replied to mconnell09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will take more than one semester, so you have plenty of time to complete the classes you need to with some version of this schedule. Spring: Anatomy, Microbiology Summer: Statistics Fall:...

  19. Retaking Pre-Nursing Courses

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

    I doubt you have a chance of being accepted in a nursing program with C's and D's in those prereqs. So you'll probably need to retake the classes. First you should meet with an advisor in the...

  20. Is my courseload reasonable?

    CDEWannaBe replied to mconnell09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All 3 of the classes you're considering are really time consuming. I'd tell you it was too much if you didn't have so much down time at work. But if you have about 20 hours a week to devote to your...

  21. Cummulative Grade

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

    Cumulative GPA is every class you've ever

    Thanks for the great information OklahomomaState'13. I was just accepted in the the Accelerated BSN at OU-Tulsa. Now I have to figure out how to pay for it! Have you found scholarships (outside of...

  23. Adult Nursing Students: How do you pay your bills while in school?

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

    See if your library has a book published by Sallie Mae Foundation about making the most of your financial aid. If you're not maxed out this will help. Apply for financial aid early in the year (by...

  24. What is anatomy and physiology like?

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

    I loved A&P. There is a lot of information and you have to devote consistent study time into your schedule, but it's so interesting. I was afraid to take Microbiology too, but it's really neat to...

  25. Need advice: Pre-Nursing Student changing her mind.

    CDEWannaBe replied to SweetiePie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be a forensic pathologist you'll go to med school, so you could start taking those prereqs now and see if you have an aptitude for it. Thanks to all the CSI shows a ton of people are now interested...
