  1. Online pre-nursing courses?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea if they except high schoolers though. The best thing you can do is start researching. Find out what kind of accreditation schools want (in my experience it's regional). Find out what...

  2. Online pre-nursing courses?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually you can. I got my AS degree from south university in allied health. It was essentially all of pre-reqs. I got into a California State University. They accepted everything but I did have to...

  3. failed A&P 1

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to kal121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The failing grade will appear and will affect your GPA. Sorry. If it makes you feel better i had the exact same problem. I took extra classes to bring up my GPA. It was tough but it is not the end...

  4. I'm confused what to do, CNA or BSN-Nurse(Generic)?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to maryanaO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. How do prerequisites work?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing programs are not usually 4 years. Actually nursing classes are 2 -3 depending on the program with a year of pre-reqs. While you are in nursing school you still have non nursing classes like...

  6. ADN-BSN??

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to vrios's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes it's possible to transfer. You need to talk to the schools you want to go to. Call the transfer office and call the nursing department. An important thing will be your GPA. You will likely need...

  7. Classes in high school plus GPA and SAT Q's to prepare to be a nursing student?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Statistics Class

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to KristiLamarque's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. Attempting Accelerated Degree again

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to 2ndchance85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on where you go. You really need to make a pros and cons list for yourself. Accelerated is great if you feel like yuo can handle it but there is NOT SHAME in knowing its not for you. You have...

  11. Should I apply to state colleges in California (for BSN Program)

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to JackieTL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Run, I would not go to that school and the BRN is fickled! I wouldn't trust them, nor would I want to put myself in a corner by only being able to go to

  12. how to change my major to nursing CSUSB

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to aigoo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They won't swap out one grade for another, every class you take anywhere you submit records from feeds into your GPA. You're probably better off taking an easier class or something else you are...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to zhapper2002's topic in Nurse Registration

    Just sharing this but the last 2 summers Cal State San Bernardino has offered med/surg, psych, and OB to foreign trained nurses who need to retake it due to concurrent enrollment. 5 week sessions. No...

  15. Nursing Schools and Future Employment

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to BuXcho_96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a good point, you want to make sure you attend a school where theory and clinicals are done at the same time. For example med/surg theory/lecture class is taught the same semester and med/surg...

  16. Are nurses able to shower after shift?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked anywhere that you could shower before going home. Even if there were I'd still probably go home

  17. Professors fail everyone?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Word, forgive me but I'm going to be frank. The NCLEX doesn't give a flying **** what your issues are, what you have on your plate, whatever you think your sob story is. If you can't pass your classes...

  18. I need help on taking ATI scores

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to kringkring5144's topic in General Students

  21. Sharing faith at work

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    lol wow you guys took this to places I didn't expect it to go. I guess I wasn't clear either because I was curious if anyone actually had prayed with a patient and what that was like and not whether...

  22. Who else thinks that this is unfair?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to EternalFeather's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Sorry but this passing to graduate thing is not new. I had to get an 85% on Saunders to graduate my LVN in 2002. I do think springing it on you 2 months before you graduate is BS

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to kcrom18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
