    I just applied to BSN program!

    NICUmiiki replied to mytwoboysmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey! Don't worry too much about the GPA; you've done all you can on that issue! Don't wait until the last minute to do a CNA program; get it out of the way as soon as possible! Start writing every...

    Is this insane?

    NICUmiiki replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like my A&P professor. How to deal with her? Come to class, be prepared, and ask question when you don't understand. My professor did tell one girl that she would fail ALL of her clinicals...

    Can I still get into nursing school with an F on my transcript?

    NICUmiiki replied to AsherBashers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is much like shorty's. They only calculate your GPA with classes that are part of the degree. I've been accepted and I have several F's on my transcript. They can see my F's but they don't...

    NICUmiiki replied to drake2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No you did not ask my opinion, and I can see where I came off harsh toward you. I'm also not the interested in whether you wanted to hear my opinion or not. As you spend more time on this site, you...

    NICUmiiki replied to drake2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be one thing if you truly planned on finishing one if your employer's approved programs, decided it wasn't for you after you started, and some of the courses you took happened to be prereqs....

    BSN Program - do you get to choose clinicals?

    NICUmiiki replied to priorities2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never seen a program that gives you any choice. Each US state has different regulations for nursing school, but all require a certain amount of clinical hours in a variety of settings. You will...

    Need help deciding classes for next semester!!

    NICUmiiki replied to cpoynter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you taking the summer? Are you good with sciences? If it were me: I would take A&P 1, psych, Engl, and Micro together Spring 13, then Chem and A&P2 Summer 13. If you want a lighter science...

    Need Direct Entry to MSN with a Communications degree

    NICUmiiki replied to xtremesteve's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In direct entry MSN programs, you get your RN before completing the master's level courses. At the least, the RN portion of the program is going to have several hundred hours of clinical time. They...

    Reassurance a 2.5 is ok

    NICUmiiki replied to imasw33theart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They probably mean your overall GPA, not each individual class. So I would think it would be ok. Good

    Whats a clinical?

    NICUmiiki replied to LoneCowboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A clinical is hands-on experience in the nursing role. It's normal in the school's lab, a nursing home, and most often, a hospital. You will practice nursing skills during clinicals throughout nursing...

    Winter Break

    NICUmiiki replied to NICUmiiki's topic in General Students

    It's popular here for schools to add Saturday classes. Isaac made us miss 4 days of school, so they took away our 2-day fall break and added two Saturdays. Sounds terrible, but hardly any instructors...

    Music while studying / textbook readings?

    NICUmiiki replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    I always have something like NPR talk radio droning on in the background. I can't study in quiet, or I start singing or humming or whatever to music, but I can tune out speech pretty

    What 2 science classes would you take?
