    Failed A Course...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    She failed two classes and is trying to get into another program, it's not about orientation or being concerned about skills for the OP. Read the other pages Sent from my iPhone using

    Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I've never gotten that impression, though I am a nursing student- I've been working in home care and other outpatient clinics for several years now alongside nurses who come from different paths,...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think your race will help or hurt you in applying and being accepted into a program. If you have the grades, the communication skills, and a personality that they see a strong nurse in, you'll...

    Failed A Course...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    I didn't read through any comments beyond this first post because I think this plainly reveals a major problem you'll encounter in trying to complete your program and build a successful career in...

    Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    My sprague is a double and as an EMT it was never a quiet environment and it was a little tough to learn on. For nursing school I sprung for the Littmann cardio III because I didn't want to be in a...

    C in Anatomy.. uh oh.

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Mball925's topic in General Students

    Find out if your program offers a "replacement" for your pre clinical sequence. At my school, one of the four prereqs for admission could be replaced for a GPA boost. Our requirements for the...

    Is this right?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Of course, I agree and I'd be lying if I said i never had to fight over classes with an advisor. This individual has had a retaliatory response for everything and has said verbatim that she feels her...

    Is this right?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Yes, students can question their advisors. In this case though, her advisor is on point with the classes he scheduled. She didn't get the required grade in her gen bio AP class to advance to A&P....

    Microbiology is stressing me out

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to MeiDei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Group studying definitely helped me, you can bounce questions off of eachother and it helps to have to dig for information to answer your peers questions Sent from my iPhone using

    Preemployment drug screen

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Gc738315's topic in New York Nursing

    No judgment here, I've enjoyed the same from time to time. Being that you're seeking employment though, maybe find a different way to wind down until you're hired. I need to do a urine tox for my...

    Need Help Pretty Please; Stony Brook or Farmingdale

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to tokidoki247's topic in General Students

    And just for the record, SBU was my dream too. I applied twice and was rejected twice. I wasted a lot of time trying to find my place there, but sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and find...

    Need Help Pretty Please; Stony Brook or Farmingdale

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to tokidoki247's topic in General Students

    Take A&P and get it over with. Keep in mind that SBU is incredibly competitive. Having a high GPA is absolutely no guarantee, I think they had over 800 applications and there were only 75 seats. I...

    Is this right?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Scamming you? Seriously? Take a moment to do a little research. Go to your school's website and see what the required courses are for admission to the program before you let yourself believe that your...

    Need help interpret NLN Pax scores.

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to optical12345678's topic in General Students

    Hey! A 133 is a good score. Touch base with the admissions office of your program to know what the average score for incoming admissions is, but for my school a 133 is above average. Each school has a...

    LIU Brooklyn nursing program!! Help!!

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to ajitpalk's topic in School, College Programs

    You're definitely note too late to apply for the Spring 2016 semester. Re-take your TEAS to get a higher score, but I think you'll be okay. I'd still apply to more than one school, maybe including...

    Why you shouldn't become a nurse practitioner

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Great post, thank you for sharing this. I'm currently in school for my ADN and have always seen myself going the more diagnostic route to advanced practice. Food for thought! Sent from my iPhone using...

    Chemistry and A&P II

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking them together would be fine, but taking them both in an uber condensed winter session might be too much. How long is your winter session? At my school it's about three weeks, so you're looking...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to ajitpalk's topic in School, College Programs

    It's probably just TEAS V then Do you have to take the test at LIU or can you take it at your current location? I know my school required I take my entrance exam (NLN PAX) at my school and they...

    Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    Bottom line is that if she wants to be a nurse, she'll find another way to do it. If she wants to graduate from U of A with a degree in nursing, it's the name of he school and not the education that's...
