    Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    SopranoKris replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Way to go by sticking to your guns and asking I'm glad they were able to realize the error and get you in. You must be absolutely

    Rejection letters

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

    I'm not sure about the programs you applied to, but I know the BSN programs around here have a very competitive GPA to get in. If you don't have a 3.6 or higher, you won't be considered. That's not...

    Lazy and disrespectful Nursing Assistants

    SopranoKris replied to lilaclover6984's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just to comment: it sounds like management is taking a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" position here. I know you have said they run to management "all the time". Has anyone from the nursing staff...

    Have I screwed up my chances to get into a nursing program?

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

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but withdrawals don't count against your grade point average. It simply means you withdrew. Does WU mean the same as an F at other schools? I had to withdraw from the Eng...

    Any career switchers starting in the Fall?

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

    I am 43 years old and just finished all my pre-reqs in December. I have applied and am just waiting to find out if I'm accepted for either the Fall 2013 cohort or the Spring 2014 cohort. I won't...

    Naive high school student here! Should I go for nursing or become a pre-med student?

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

    I would still suggest you pursue Med school. If I had it all to do over again, I would have been a doctor. At my age (43), I would never recoup the investment of the cost of med school before...

    Wake me up when March ends!

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

    Nurse2b7337, I highly recommend Dr. Leslie Samuel's videos. You can find him on YouTube under Interactive Biology or just search his name. His videos have a way of making the concepts stick....

    Summer Classes

    SopranoKris replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A planner is your best friend! I took 6 classes (17 credit hours) last semester to knock out all my pre-reqs. I was able to get a 4.0 in each class by staying organized and on top of my studies....

    Do you have to be great in math to be become a RN?!?

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

    I'm taking Stats this semester while waiting to find out if I'm accepted into the nursing program. I am NOT liking Stats right now. I have a 4.0 average at this particular school (3.8 overall) and I...

    Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    SopranoKris replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    gummyi bear & heyliss, I completely agree! Time feels like it's DRAGGING!!!! Letters aren't supposed to go out until the end of April for our program. Which means I have about another month of...

    Medical Terminology

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

    I agree, take it! While it's not a required pre-req for our program, if you've taken a college level med term class, you're allowed to "comp out" on medical terminology the 1st semester of nursing...

    Disqualified from COC (Venting?)

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

    You need to understand that part of being a nurse means being detail oriented. So yes, it stinks that they disqualified you for forgetting to fill out the city, state, ZIP code line. However, it...

    LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up that the rumor is true. I think it's just a lot of wishful thinking amongst people at school 11 more days until April. Then more

    Summer Classes

    LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have heard rumors that they expect it to be lower this year than last year...but I'll believe it when I see it!!! Doesn't it feel like the days are D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G by sooooooo

    Accused of Cheating...How do I get past this?

    SopranoKris replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you thought your name was smudged, why didn't you just walk up to the instructor when he called time and explain this to him, instead of continuing writing? That would have prevented any suspicion...

    A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    SopranoKris replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm surprised she was allowed to work as a phlebotomist! I just finished my phlebotomy certification and the big no-no is long nails. The hospital where I did my externship specifically banned long...

    I feel like the biggest idiot.

    SopranoKris replied to M-Roc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's a GREAT website that will help reinforce everything in Anatomy. Take the online quizzes as much as you want to until the material sinks in. It really helped me in Anatomy and I ended up with...

    How many are going straight for your BSN?

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

    I'm going the ADN to BSN route because our local community college's nursing program is very highly regarded, not to mention better tuition rate :) I can do an RN-to-BSN at the local university,...

    LCC 2013 Applicant Roll Call

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Did everyone get their points confirmation letter yet? I wish they could just tell us now instead of waiting until April! Time feels like it's dragging by very slowly. I sure hope we ALL get good...

    SopranoKris replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3 more weeks before letters go out. It feels like time is dragging SOOOOOOOO slowly!!! I just want to know...whether it's good news or bad news. I just want to know!!! I keep playing that Tom Petty...
