    I Want to apply to Adelphi's nursing program...

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

    Their expectations are pretty realistic. I don't know many schools that accept re takes at this point- Stony Brook doesn't accept them after the fall 2015 applicants. Nursing schools are competitive....

    Does the school matter

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I don't think it matters much when you're going for your ASN/BSN. When you're pursuing post bacc it might make more of a difference, but we're all RNs after we pass the NCLEX. Going to a "bad...

    Anatomy & Physiology Online or In-Class?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Anon101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    In class. I took online and learned nothing from it. The hands on lab experience made it for me. If you can learn by reading, this might be a viable option for you. I learn by doing and teaching, so...

    Microbiology is stressing me out

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

    If the test is only on what she teaches, then don't go beyond that. Don't overwhelm yourself with the textbook. Go by your notes, and record your lectures if listening will help you. That's how my...

    would adult camodeling affect your licence or ability to get a job?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Morgan264's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to ask if it's going to impact your future, chances are it will. Is it worth the risk for a few bucks now? If it is, do you. If it's not, find something that doesn't put your moral compass...

    I passed Statistics!!

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

    And jarae- it's a completely different animal from algebra. You're not solving for x or what have you- you're working with data, hypotheses, theories, and real numbers to reveal hard data as it...

    I passed Statistics!!

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

    Statistics was the bane of my existence. Cheers to both of us for surviving 😝 Someone asked what helps: khanacademy! My professor meant well but I hate to say that she wasn't a good instructor....

    LIU Brooklyn nursing program!! Help!!

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

    My friend graduated from LIU BK. call their admissions office for specifics, but there's no way they can tell you if you'll be admitted without seeing your application. Private schools in general are...

    Microbiology is stressing me out

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

    Don't worry about whether the teacher is behind. Flash cards and listening to recorded lectures on my commute were what earned the grade I did. It's a lot of material, but if the study technique...

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

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    Amen, turtles! I started out going for a BS in biology. I entered college without any direction. I knew I wanted to be a nurse, but I wasn't accepted anywhere and I just wanted to get away. Frankly, I...

    Difference between hemeplegia and hemiparesis?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Stevens33's topic in General Nursing

    This one gets me every time because they're the same ICD9 code and j can never get it more specific at work- Hemiparesis is weakness Hemiplegia is paralysis Sent from my iPhone using

    Taking Anatomy & Physiology 1 for the first time this fall! Any suggestions???!!!!!

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Mb2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't wait for the last minute. Pay attention in lectures. This isn't a class that you can realistically cram for, and even if cramming works for you- your nursing career is dependent on you getting a...

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

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    The fact that you took the time to write all of that speaks for how badly you want to go into nursing. It seems you already know the answer to your question. U of A might not be feasible, so why not...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students
