  1. would you go to your old job ?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to RNHURT's topic in General Nursing

    I can definitely relate to this, and I'll tell you why in a minute. But first, I just wanted to ask do your principles affect your reasons for wanting to return? Earlier this year, I applied for a...

  2. How many people did you lose?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    If 170 is small to you, then I totally have you beat. According, to some friends of mine who are currently in my school's nursing program (I'll be attending next Fall) they only lost 5 students out...

  3. Does RN-BSN programs have more "old" people???

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Okay. Before you go bashing "old" people. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. I, being a non-traditional student and 38 years of age, have to attend class with people much younger than myself...

  4. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    As much as I love personal stories during class its a distraction and a waste of time! Stop telling us everything and anything on a subject and let the instructor get back to the lecture. I'm not...

  5. Pre-Application Jitters Here..

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ProudStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome. That is what we are here for, at least for me. To all help each other. I know I'll need help too come next year. Until then, I'm just sharing my knowledge to others who might find it...

  6. So Confused...Apply to RN..again?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you intend to do exactly with a Health Science degree? You didn't mention it. Well, that's not nursing, and that is what you want to do, right? I'd keep applying to nursing schools if that is...

  7. Does your class have a facebook page?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to RedChair's topic in General Students

    I think its a great idea for school only. But, I'd be weary of "friending" anyone on one's personal facebook page. You just never know and problems can

  8. What are my chances of gaining admission into NYU's nursing program?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to nursinghopeful89's topic in New York Nursing

    Honestly, I think you have as good of a chance as anyone else. Your overall GPA is good but you didn't mention any prereqs or a prereq GPA. Once those are completed, if they are not already done, I'd...

  9. what are you doing during the break?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Nothing! Well, almost nothing. Mostly, taking it

  10. OMG I made it through the first semester!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to futurenurseya33's topic in General Students

    Congrats!

  11. Should I Take Micro or A&P II Over the Summer???

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to summerzippsalong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&PII in the spring. Micro in the summer. You just finished A&PI, it only makes sense to take A&PII right after it. You'll want to retain the knowledge you learned in A&PI to use in...

  12. should i be a nurse if i dont really like doing the same thing everyday?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to jayjay2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what is wonderful about nursing. There are many directions and paths to choose from. I wouldn't say every day will be the same but i'm assuming you'll never be bored, there is always something...

  13. How can I retain all of this lol . . ..

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to lovelyred34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be thinking the same exact thing once you hit nursing school too. Yet, somehow students graduate, take the NCLEX and pass, and become nurses. Focus on what is at hand and try not to worry about...

  14. Most useful pre-req in the nursing program?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say A&P is the bread and butter. The more one can get out of it, the better. Although, I really did enjoy my Microbiology class alot

  15. Dealing with conflict?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to dplocher's topic in General Students

    Focus on yourself. Ignore all the negativity in school. It doesn't mean you'll have to be best friends with everyone, but at least be civil. You are there to get an education and to become a nurse, do...

  16. Things You Know Now (And Wish You'd Known Then!)

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Time management and organization is of key importance! Study a little bit each day saves you from cramming the night before an exam. Get some sleep. Procrastination is the enemy. Enjoy what you are...

  17. what nursing schools do you suggest?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to purple23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would finish any and all prereq courses and degree courses for a BSN, first. Get that out of the way before you even apply to an RN program at your school. You mentioned you are a freshman, maybe...

  18. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 38 and going to RN school. By no means, are you "too old" for nursing school, my dear. Please, stop worrying about what others think, and think about yourself. This time, do take your education...

  19. FINALLY done with prereqs!!!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to futurenursegirl14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! Wishing you well in your nursing school journey. Good

  20. Got Accepted :)

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to TnMtnRose's topic in General Students

    Congrats! TnMtnRose :) I start RN school too in Fall

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to TnMtnRose's topic in General Students

    Loved this. Really helpful post, Matt. I will definitely remember this when I attend RN school next Fall. Well

  22. Pre-Application Jitters Here..

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to ProudStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I just wanted to say that that is a wonderful GPA you have and I wish you the best of luck on being admitted to RN school. I do know schools look at your overall GPA and your prereq GPA...

  23. Advice please....

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to One.day.a.nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you find yourself sinking in A&P and math, get help with them before you sink to deep. If you know what I mean. :doh:Just do and try your best in your classes, thats all anyone can ask...

  24. Nursing programs that take low gpa students

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to AlexisBloomquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Alexis. :) First of all, a 3.0 is not even close to being a low GPA. You're doing a great job so far as I can tell in school. Secondly, keep applying to schools. Just because you didn't get...
