  1. Please help me!! How do i get into a ABSN with a low GPA

    Shorty11 replied to txongy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated with a BS in Biology as well. I graduated with a 2.89. (I know...ouch. Young and dumb I suppose.) I decided to go back to school to pursue nursing several years after I graduated. Although...

  2. Nursing Bag

    Shorty11 replied to NurseFaith's topic in General Students

    I know you are excited and ready to go out and get all your supplies! Totally understandable, but I would wait. Once you get accepted into the nursing program, you will have nursing school...

  3. Will withdrawing from a course hurt my application?

    Shorty11 replied to gentlerain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school. How competitive is the program? How do they determine admission into the program.. Overall GPA, Nursing GPA, a point-system, lottery, etc? Some schools may look at W'a and...

  4. Overwhelming myself?

    Shorty11 replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with previous posters. I would take A&P, Micro, Ethics, Computers, and Med. Terminology together (if possible.) I would then take Stats in the summer. Since you are worried about having...

  5. where can I find free access to nursing scholarly journals online?

    Shorty11 replied to AlphaPig's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I second what blondy said. Are you a student? I am currently in a BSN program. Access to our universities' database of peer-reviewed journals/scholarly articles is INCLUDED in our tuition. Example: At...

  6. First semester test next week

    Shorty11 replied to mightymouse7's topic in General Students

    I know you said you are in first semester, but what class in particular? First, make sure you read all the chapters/assigned reading that the exam covers. Then, read your lecture notes. Once you have...

  7. High school senior. Needs advice please

    Shorty11 replied to SelenaL10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chelsea is right. I know that delving into the unknown is scary. College is harder than high school. Prereqs are challenging and nursing classes are even challenging. Nursing is different than other...

  8. What is Nursing school really like?

    Shorty11 replied to futurenurse16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started my third semester of nursing classes (BSN). Nursing school is difficult, but I will say that it is not the subject matter itself that is difficult. It is the amount of reading,...

  9. Second Chance to get it right, but future plans might change

    Shorty11 replied to nursingstudent_2014's topic in General Students

    I do not know much about the internship process, nor have I heard of the camp nurses program you are referring to, so I cannot give advice on those subjects. I personally would be weary of taking a...

  10. Dieting and nursing school

    Shorty11 replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    Like some other posters have said, every time I have "dieted" I ended up gaining all the weight back over time. I am in my 3rd semester of nursing school. I recently lost 25 lbs (went from 175 to...

  11. Pathophysiology☺Spring 2013

    Shorty11 replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Pathophysiology online. There was not a lab component. In the program I am in Patho is part of the first semester of the nursing core. Our class used Pathophysiology for the Health Professions....

  12. Traditional BSN VS RN-BSN program

    Shorty11 replied to elsaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area, some ADN's still get hired, but most hospitals are transitioning to either "BSN preferred" or "BSN required". I hold a BS in Biology. I am currently in the 3rd semester of a traditional...

  13. What is your favorite class that you took or currently taking in Nursing School?

    Shorty11 replied to gelibean's topic in General Students

    I am in my 3rd semester so I obviously haven't taken everything yet. (Our BSN program is 5 semesters). So far my favorite class has been Pharmacology. I loved it! It was so interesting to me to learn...

  14. How many hours/days per week do you spend in clinical?

    Shorty11 replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 3rd semester (BSN). For MedSurg 1, we have a 12 hr clinical 1 day a week, every other week. We also have a 4 hr simulation lab on opposite weeks 1 day a week. For Mental Health Nursing, we...

  15. HESI

    Shorty11 replied to Tinkerbell1002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually didn't have to take the A&P section to get into the BSN program I am in. (I was required to take the math, reading, and vocab sections only). As for math, it was pretty basic. It...

  16. should i retake classes

    Shorty11 replied to chibix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The university I attend (BSN program in Texas) has a cap on the amount of times you can retake courses or "grade replace" courses. We are only allowed to retake 3 courses for grade replacement for the...

  17. General Chem Spring 2013

    Shorty11 replied to Oveita40's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with meeep. I think about chemistry as a math class more than a pure science class. Practice problems are a must. Just like in math classes, in chemistry you will have to practice dimensional...

  18. What tape recorder do you prefer?

    Shorty11 replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Btw, make sure you ask the professor for permission before recording lectures. Some professors do not allow their lectures to be recorded. Most do at my school, but we have a few who do

  19. Help with transcript requests

    Shorty11 replied to jh408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe that your transcript was considered incomplete because at the time the transcript was received your fall semester classes were still IN PROGRESS. Final semester grades had not been posted...

  20. Appearance?

    Shorty11 replied to TheBerriGirl's topic in General Students

    I attend a BSN program in Texas. Our dress code is fairly strict. Natural colored hair. Hair must be pulled back off the face, unless it is very, very short. No adornments to the hair such as...

  21. Midwestern State University Spring 2013!

    Shorty11 replied to p i c k l e's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would suggest bringing your car if you own one or getting together with your fellow classmates and arranging a carpool. All lectures are held on campus, but clinicals for first semester are held at...

  22. 2nd degree bsn programs

    Shorty11 replied to ondracsa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is your first bachelors degree in? I live in Texas myself. I have a BS in biology. I just finished my second semester of a traditional BSN program in Texas. I'm curious as to what extra history...

  23. Would they consider MCAT score for Accelerated BSN admission?

    Shorty11 replied to gertel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they don't ask for it, I wouldn't submit it. I also have a BS in biology, took the MCAT, and also the GRE. When I applied for nursing school, I called the academic advisor for the department and...

  24. Help with transcript requests

    Shorty11 replied to jh408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with a previous poster: I would allow at least 4-6 weeks. Although it could be faster. It also could take a little longer than that because of the holidays. My school asked us to request...

  25. Midwestern State University Spring 2013!

    Shorty11 replied to p i c k l e's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good! You should be excited! Nursing school is challenging, yet very rewarding! I love it! As a current MWSU nursing student, I'll say we are very happy to have you! I love Midwestern and my fellow...
