    Evan415 & silhouettedreams, I think my mailman is going to hide from me by the end of the week...LOL As soon as I see his truck, I'm out the door. I wish they'd post the list online. You can...

    Accepted!! What to do this summer in preparation

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

    Congratulations on getting accepted! I'm still waiting for my letter to arrive. Hopefully, if accepted, I'll take courses towards the BSN this summer. The less I have to take after I finish my RN,...

    Soooo Anxious!!

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

    I'm in the same boat (different school, though). They said acceptance/rejection letters would be mailed the 3rd week of April. Today starts the 3rd week of April. So now I have to stalk the mailbox...

    grades for nursing program

    SopranoKris replied to kml61792's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program you want to attend. Some only look at your pre-req grades. Some look at your cumulative GPA. You'll need to contact an advisor at the school you wish to attend to get this...

    Is anyone as old as me?

    SopranoKris replied to Laraine's topic in General Students

    I'm 43 and will (hopefully) be starting nursing school in the fall. The program I applied to has an age range of 26 - 58 for last year. So, you are by no means alone Good for you for going back to...

    Started with 50 down to 20

    SopranoKris replied to Bubbly26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, my Pharmacology class last semester. Started with 50 and ended up with 17 left by the end. Most people failed out on medication math. It was the hardest earned A I've ever

    Sense of Entitlement or Right to "Sample"

    SopranoKris replied to Tait's topic in General Students

    I'm still in school and I cannot believe the number of kids that come up with lame excuses every week for the professors. Yesterday's excuse takes the cake: This kid walks up to the prof. Said kid...

    Have I RUINED my chances at Nursing? :(

    SopranoKris replied to dpm0x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 4 Ws on my transcript and it's not an issue. I've retaken all 4 of these classes and got an A. I had to withdraw due to family/home life issues many years ago. Fast-forward 19 years later...

    How many points did you need to get into nursing school?

    SopranoKris replied to brookedavis20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program. Each school has a different points system. The program I applied to has a maximum of 180 points. The cut off for entry into last year's program was 141, but dropped to...

    A Watched Kettle Never Boils: Waiting to Hear From Nursing Schools

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

    I am in the same boat as you. I feel like I'm stalking the mail box! Every day, I race to see if I have a letter, only to be disappointed that there's nothing but junk in there. It feels like it's...

    Would 80-90 points on the nursing application be enough?

    SopranoKris replied to brookedavis20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on your program and how they calculate the points. Each program is different. I would suggest you contact the academic advisor for the nursing program and meet with him/her to...

    Big difference between Fall '14 and Spring '15?

    SopranoKris replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What scares you about this? Is it the amount of studying? Or the material itself? Don't be afraid of Micro. It was actually one of my favorite classes, especially lab! It's not as daunting as you...

    Big difference between Fall '14 and Spring '15?

    SopranoKris replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I'd do English I & II in the summer and take A&P when you have a full semester to devote to it. I took Physiology and Microbiology at the same time. It's definitely do-able (got...

    Feel like giving up

    SopranoKris replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you really want to get in to the program, you'll find a way to bring your grades up. Here's an easy solution to your CNA summer issue: don't take vacation while you're in school! Quite...

    How to choose the right program?!

    SopranoKris replied to combsj25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose the program that is more highly regarded by the hospitals who hire their graduates. It actually ended up being an ADN program, instead of the BSN program. While I am still going to finish my...

    How are you paying for Nursing school?

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

    Wish I could qualify for federal aid I was laid off from my job last May, however, the FASFA only looks at last year's tax return. I had to cash in my 401K & pension just to have money to live...

    Going back to School - RN, NP, or PA?

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

    Instead of focusing on the "quickest route", define exactly what you want to be. There's a big difference between being an RN and being a PA. My plan is to go to PA school after I complete my BSN....
