  1. should I still become a nurse even though I hate science and I'm bad at it?

    nursingschool* replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your going to have to face a lot of science before you get into nursing school. So if you're not committed to doing well there, then you have your answer. Nursing is practical and you may have a...

  2. Applying to community college nursing programs...gpa?

    nursingschool* replied to BJR87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every program is different. Pick up the phone and call an admissions adviser and talk with them. Don't wait until March, call

  3. Retaking course

    nursingschool* replied to shantayk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't kid yourself, a D is failing on any transcript. No school will accept that as a passing grade. More importantly though, people don't get into nursing school with D's. It is very competitive....

  4. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    nursingschool* replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-reqs suck especially for those of us with prior degrees. Bio wasn't a pre-req for A&P at the CC I went to so you might check if you have any other options. I'm surprised you got a BA without...

  5. Frustrated

    nursingschool* replied to magen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You did the right thing by talking with your prof. First exams are always the hardest. Learn from this one and adjust. 40 hours over 4 days is a lot of studying so maybe consider spreading it

  6. Steps to Becoming an RN...

    nursingschool* replied to ejporter66's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good plan. Talk to them all. They will all be a little different. They will also answer all of your questions. Your GPA will matter but they will tell you where you can retake courses. It is...

  7. Microbiology: first exam. not so hot. :(

    nursingschool* replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has given good advice. I think we've all been there. First exams are always the toughest - you have no idea what to expect. Learn from this one. Learn where you could have studied...

  8. Is anyone else in this boat? (and has anyone gotten out of it?)

    nursingschool* replied to csmcj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Contact the schools you want to get into and have them tell you exactly what to do. They'll tell you where you stand. They'll tell you what you can and can't retake. Like Saysfaa said - many...

  9. New to all this...need as much info as possible...Thanx

    nursingschool* replied to vampcharms's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say I've ever heard of a waiting list. Any BSN program is going to be competitive. I'd talk to all of the programs and have them tell you the requirements. Then ace your pre-reqs and apply...

  10. Needing help deciding which classes to take! Have you ever taken these together??

    nursingschool* replied to gottagetmyrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll throw a wrench in and suggest taking A&Ps back to back in the summer session and take chem and micro together in the fall. The A&P labs are easy - straight memorization - compared to...

  11. Anyone know of schools that offer work?

    nursingschool* replied to lala86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I'm in here in TX doesn't really place students in PT positions but after the first semester we are qualified to be nursing assistants and most of the hospitals we do our clinicals at will...

  12. Anyone wear Dansko clogs?

    nursingschool* replied to MurseJon's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wear them but I'm in school and only in clinicals one day a week. Our school uniform requires us to wear white shoes with our scrubs so I bought white ones. I think they are pretty awesome though...

  13. Will it matter if I don't have the BSN? ADN -> MSN question

    nursingschool* replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you already have a bachelors then getting a BSN may not take anymore time than getting an ADN. That was the situation I was in. It does take longer, the program is typically 4 semesters instead...

  14. How old is too old?

    nursingschool* replied to Maryea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just do it. You may be the oldest in your class - you may not be. Most importantly though, don't worry about it right now. You can't make the pre-reqs go any faster, so take them one semester at a...

  15. Question! I'm looking to advance in the nursing career but..

    nursingschool* replied to lawlammy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To my knowledge, you're not only going to need a a solid year of RN experience but you're going to need a BSN to get into any CRNA program. So if you do the ADN route first, you're going to have to...

  16. prerequisites and second degree BSN program

    nursingschool* replied to linn8's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I had pre-reqs from 15+ years ago that transferred into all of the programs I looked at. But leenak is right, each program will do it their own way, so talk to them. Which brings me to my biggest...

  17. Any guys want to be penpals? Sounds lame, but I'm telling you we all need motivation

    nursingschool* replied to Living4Peace's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just finished my 4th week of a BSN program. I'd be interested in hearing everyone's experiences. Good luck on the journey.
