    It's all about the professor, how much time you can put into the course, and the textbook! I was fortunate to have an awesome professor, the time to study, and a great book (9780321871756)! Seriously,...

    Is it worthwhile to become a CNA before going to nursing school?

    Pink Magnolia replied to little-chick2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a great idea! I recommend it if you have the time! I entered nursing school coming from another career and time did not permit me to do this...or else I would have done it!

    Pink Magnolia replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    GPA lower than a 3.0, can I still be a nurse

    Pink Magnolia replied to twaugh1's topic in General Students

    Just apply and don't change your career plans due to "past" grades. When you have a dream, you have to set out and accomplish it. If you really want to be a nurse you will make things work. I promise....

    Best Nursing Study Guides and Help Books while in Nursing School

    Pink Magnolia replied to RNpearls1908's topic in General Students

    Reconstituting medication help

    Pink Magnolia replied to kaylaas's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I get what you are asking! I don't know what you'd use to shake it in since it comes in a packet. You probably wouldn't want a cup because you wouldn't be able to shake it appropriately, but maybe you...

    Pink Magnolia replied to aquamoon713's topic in General Students

    Oh....they want your money! It's not their agenda to weed you out on purpose. Nursing schools have high standards and challenge the heck out of you. They are preparing you for NCLEX and want to look...
