  1. Which classes should I take, and will I make it?

    Sizzline replied to JackieTL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro, Stats, Nutrition, and a medical terminology class semester and did very well in all of them. I did very well in my previous science classes, however. I found Nutrition to be...

    Sizzline replied to Sizzline's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter today! I am absolutely over the moon. I had to take my prerequisites part-time, and it has taken me so long to get to this point. I feel like all of the hard work and time...

  5. Best order for science prereqs

    Sizzline replied to thinkingcap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would choose option 3. I found that having a basic background in chem made the beginning of A&P1 significantly easier. A&P1 was the most difficult of the science pre-reqs for me; I would not...

    Sizzline replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Favorites

    Sizzline replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology. I found it so fun and interesting that I would take it again, if I could. I found the content absolutely fascinating, and the labs were so hands-on and interactive. It was really cool to...

    Sizzline replied to Janinern84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use bigwords.com They search a TON of different buy/rent sites for you, and tell you which is the cheapest. I have saved so much using them. For this semester, buying used from my school bookstore...

    Sizzline replied to yourPhutureNurse_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Stat, Nutrition, and Microbiology Lab. Doable?

    Sizzline replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Accelerated BSN online in the NY area

    Sizzline replied to joemill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How close to the city do you need it to be? Mount Saint Mary's in Newburgh, NY offers an ABSN program that is at night. You go anywhere from 2-4 nights per week in short semesters (6-8 weeks each). I...

    Sizzline replied to KristenGuilbeau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sizzline replied to uta.student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in an ADN program, with planned admittance to the Spring 2014 cohort for clinicals. I have completed all of my prerequisites, though. For this fall semester, I added a dual major of General...

  18. Back To School Supplies :-)

    Sizzline replied to trp03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 33 with two girls, ages 5 and 17 months. It's definitely a struggle sometimes, but I just put my mind to it and exist on less sleep than I thought possible. Learning how you personally study most...

  20. Rent a skeleton or muscle model?

    Sizzline replied to JollypreRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also took pictures. I would label the picture and number the parts we had to know, then create quizzes for myself where I re-ordered the numbers and had to write what each part was. Doing the parts...

  21. Has anyone used the online schools for their nursing pre-reqs?

    Sizzline replied to erinerin87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sizzline replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sizzline replied to Kerrimundhenke's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Sizzline replied to Future ScorpioRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. RN vs RN/BSN? Help!

    Sizzline replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area, hospitals are only hiring BSNs, but ADNs can get jobs at nursing homes, doctor's offices, etc. I do plan on getting my BSN, but the only school in the area that offers a 4-year program is...
