  1. Chem and Anatomy together?

    arciedee replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took chem II and A&P I together and it was fine. Of course I didn't have children or spouse to look after, but I did work full time and have a 2-3 hour round trip commute to work each day. It...

  2. Newbie Needs Advice...

    arciedee replied to thepremier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That makes perfect sense! Good luck to

  3. I don't know!!!!!!!!

    arciedee replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That will be fine. Both NLNAC and CCNE accredit nursing programs and are

  4. Direct Entry MSN prerequisites?

    arciedee replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If the school has courses that are "highly recommended" rather than required, then you may have some leeway, though that will probably depend on the competition for the program and the other factors...

  5. Need advice about taking anatomy before applying to school

    arciedee replied to MIKelly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, taking the two semesters in one.. I can see why you have some trepidation about taking that. What is your school's policy on withdrawing from a course? Could you start the course, see how it...

  6. Need advice about taking anatomy before applying to school

    arciedee replied to MIKelly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I would assume that with a 3.91 GPA you're a pretty good student. Do you have any real reason to assume that you would do poorly in A&P? Personally I would just take the class to get it...

  7. Newbie Needs Advice...

    arciedee replied to thepremier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like those are the pre-reqs for the nursing program at your school. An ADN program would include at least four semesters of clinical courses. You cannot take the NCLEX/become an RN without...

  8. Has anyone gotten into nursing school without taking pre-reqs/pre-nursing first?

    arciedee replied to manofbess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not necessarily true depending on where you are. I know that the state ADN programs here technically only require high school level algebra, biology, and chemistry for admittance (plus passing...

  9. Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

    arciedee replied to Myethpio's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've heard that Johns Hopkins awards a BSN as part of their direct-entry MSN. I think some of the Boston-area programs may, as well. I'm not quite sure whether there is necessarily a difference...

  10. I recieved an acceptance letter BY MISTAKE!

    arciedee replied to annceenrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you received anything in writing from the school stating this? I would demand an explanation in writing and would ask to speak with someone higher up the

  11. Newbie Needs Advice...

    arciedee replied to thepremier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome and congratulations on making the decision to pursue nursing! The short answer is that, yes, some of the courses from your associates degree should transfer over... you will probably have to...

  12. Advice needed 4 LNA to RN - steps to take?

    arciedee replied to Angela1336's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you gone to one of the info sessions @ NHCTC? I don't know when they are, but here's a link: http://ms.nhctc.edu/NHCTC/Stratham/nhctc_admissions_nursing.php I think attending something like that...

  13. Moving home

    arciedee replied to NRSNFL's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help you with day care costs as I don't have any kiddos. But I know Portsmouth Regional Hospital has a pediatrics department and I think Exeter Hospital does, too. I'm not sure about...

  14. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    arciedee replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey guys... checking back in here. Sorry to hear about the gain Tweety and Sarah, but sounds like you guys are very rational about it and ready to get back on that horse! Healthier eating has been...

  15. about to have a nervous breakdown :(

    arciedee replied to taniasjijo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not think you were wrong to e-mail your prof... I mean, who better to ask on "How do I succeed in this class?" He may give you some good pointers, he may not, but at least you asked. It shows...

  16. RN to BSN?

    arciedee replied to onexmorexgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think as long as the school where you got your ADN was accredited I don't think there should be any problem transferring credits. There may be a cap on the number of credits you can transfer, but...

  17. Ahh so confused... Please help.

    arciedee replied to wackyj2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did you do in A&P I? I found A&P II to be about on par w/ A&P I, maybe a little easier (though I think I might have found it easier because I found the info more interesting). So if...

  18. pediatric home health in nh?

    arciedee replied to susanj1213's topic in General Nursing

    Here are a few websites you can check out... it seems that both Elliot and SNHMC have pediatric departments. http://www.elliothospital.org/services/womenchild/pedi_index.html...

  19. I'm confused!!

    arciedee replied to fayethlove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kira, I would say to go for it... you've got the acceptance and you know it's what you want to do. As for whether to commute or not, do you know where they hold their clinical rotations? If they...

  20. pediatric home health in nh?

    arciedee replied to susanj1213's topic in General Nursing

    Have you contacted any of the local hospitals? From Merrimack you'd be convenient to Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Hospital (both in Manchester), Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and St....

  21. 35 year old mom wants to become a nurse ...

    arciedee replied to tatularu's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not in CA (maybe some people on the CA forum can help), but I would recommend checking out local nursing schools you're interested in and finding out what their pre-reqs/co-reqs are. The...

  22. Nursing school with a GED.

    arciedee replied to desireef's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto to what the other posters said! The only thing I would add is that I know most of the schools where I live require that you have taken chemistry and biology with labs during high school with a...

  23. 35 year old mom wants to become a nurse ...

    arciedee replied to tatularu's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I understand there is no substitute for having a BSN, i.e. a BS in health mgmt + an RN will not make you a BSN. That being said, the combo of the two might open some doors to you, but I'd...

  24. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    arciedee replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey everyone... guess I'll join in here. Been absent for a while. Healthy living is going okay here. Weight somehow got back into a range where I'm more comfortable, so trying to maintain that....

  25. New here - lots of questions!

    arciedee replied to Matka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! Congrats on your upcoming baby and move. You've definitely got lots going on! If you're interested in becoming an advanced practice nurse at some point, I would look at MSN programs you...
