  4. Do I take the class over again?

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

    Nah, I wouldn't do it over. Honestly, I would go back and read or re-learn the material you need help with or don't remember. It may be a B, but you earned that B, and a B is not bad. Move on to...

  7. ITT Tech?

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to MA_Davis's topic in School, College Programs

    I'd be more worried about what isn't required than is, with this type of school. No, I'm not saying ITT is a "bad" place. But, if there is no foundation, no background knowledge, no ground to stand on...

  19. No Car for Nursing School- Urban Area- Am I doomed?

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

    Carpool with someone. Most likely you won't be going to these clinical sites alone. Offer to pay for some car gas in exchange for a ride. Nah, don't freak out. There will be a way.

  20. The Hunger Games and Nursing School!

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

    I always compare nursing school to a roller coaster. There are ups and downs and turns and loops, but don't get off until the ride is over. Also, to stay in the game, you gotta play the game....

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

  23. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

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

    One school, one acceptance. Location was a big issue with me. I didn't want to have to drive too far during the winter - rain, snow, sleet. The school has been great so far, and it meets my needs....

  24. Would you rather? An Application Process Discussion

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    Q1. To me, I think it depends on the location and the school. What one school may consider necessary, another may not. I could see how & why a large CC or University would require less for...
