    Please I need some advice on a decison....PA or NP?

    SopranoKris replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most PA programs require you to have hands-on, direct patient care experience before you can apply to PA school. I'm still trying to decide between PA & NP because in my area, there is more job...

    About to start my online Stats course. Any advice?

    SopranoKris replied to NoTurningBack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you've had Trig or Calculus and know how to find the area under the curve, then Stats isn't too difficult. I took Stats online, but I also had the benefit of an amazing instructor. She should teach...

    Biology and chemistry pre-reqs

    SopranoKris replied to ReadyToListen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think Bio & Chem are "eeww!", what do you think the rest of nursing school is going to be like? You need to have a baseline understanding of Bio & Chem to go on to Anatomy, Physiology,...

    Hi all, As you know, I'm currently finishing my pre-reqs to get into a nursing program. I am trying to get into the RN program at LCC and plan to finish my BSN once I complete the RN program (trying...

    Bummed about GPA

    SopranoKris replied to Success89's topic in General Students

    I use the CDs or publisher's website that goes along with our textbooks. There is a TON of supplemental information, practice NCLEX questions, etc., that you can find using these tools. I also take...

    To stay or to go

    SopranoKris replied to FutureRNCA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I would wait until you are all back I'm the States as a family. I have been a long distance Mom and it is excruciatingly difficult to be away from your child. And mine was a lot older than...

    Intro to Chem and Anatomy &Physiology in the same semester?

    SopranoKris replied to mikaylad9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are strong in math, then Chem won't be too bad. Just a caveat: there is a TON of memorization involved in both Chem and A&P. You'll really need to budget your study time well. Good luck

    Bummed about GPA

    SopranoKris replied to Success89's topic in General Students

    Our school doesn't use +/- with grades. You get a 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.5, etc. I was a 4.0 student until Nursing school. Have had a 4.0 in all classes, except 2 (got a 3.5 in both). Missed a 4.0 by 0.3...

    Is this my cohort?

    SopranoKris replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Excellent advice! Keep the focus on-task. Also, you may find there are people you don't know in your nursing school cohort who will end up being like-minded, serious students. Good luck! It's hard...

    Tomorrow is my fundamentals final

    SopranoKris replied to futurenurse2be's topic in General Students

    Take your time. Go slowly. Read each question thoroughly. After reading the question, pick out the key words it's asking. Then read each answer. Don't select an answer until you've read each one....

    Microbiology & A&P Together

    SopranoKris replied to 1naturalhealer2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Physiology & Micro in the same semester (both were on the same days, too). Definitely do-able if you're strong in science. Just stay organized

    I'm 45 and will be finishing my nursing program in May. It definitely can be done!!! I find I need to use a planner to keep track of everything that needs to be done (school work, kid's sports,...

    Should I get my Traditional BSN while I'm in undergrad or aim for an Accelerated program?

    SopranoKris replied to greenbean14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's one semester. In the grand scheme of things, that time is a drop in the bucket. If you finish your bio degree, you'll have to go through an accelerated BSN (if you get accepted, not a...

    About Microbiology

    SopranoKris replied to reecemay10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved Micro!! Don't be afraid of it. It's actually quite interesting, especially lab. I loved doing the "unknown" project at the end of the course. We were given a sample of 2 different bacteria...
