  1. Basic classes to become an RN

    Shorty11 replied to drake2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest taking the most general pre-req classes first. The ones that are required for almost any degree, regardless of field. Hopefully your employer would then approve the class, since it...

  2. Job advice while in nursing school!!!

    Shorty11 replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    While option 1 says they will hire you as an RN after you graduate, if you don't ultimately want to work at a hospice then that's something to think about. If you took option 1, when would you have...

  3. nursing program with 2 little ones. realistic?

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

    With a strong desire to succeed, a good support system, and a lot of planning, it is doable! It will be tough to balance it all, no doubt, but it has been done before! I think the time sacrifices will...

  4. Am i a nerd

    Shorty11 replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wear your nerd badge proudly! I am a nerd too! Nothing wrong with being prepared for a class... especially one such as A&P! I just finished my second semester of nursing classes. Having a solid...

  5. How to prepare for nursing school??!

    Shorty11 replied to mariaberry19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you start classes in January, it's right around the corner! If you were on a waitlist and had quite a bit of time before nursing classes started, I would give more suggestions on things to...

  6. Getting ready to apply to a bunch of schools....pregnant :/

    Shorty11 replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you made the right decision. I understand having the desire and drive to get there.. but it's not a race. Nursing will still be there waiting for you. I think your grades could suffer if you...

  7. How many people in your class?

    Shorty11 replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    Pre-req lectures were pretty crowded in my opinion. About 100 people in A&P lecture, but it was broken down into 10-15 for each lab. Typically, the classes that almost everyone needs for their...

  8. I'm so excited! :)

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

    I would stay away from private schools too if possible. Private schools are very, very expensive. Same degree whether it is from the expensive private school or the community college. That is a really...

  9. Student Loans to finance my CC tuition, basic living expenses all the way through BSN

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

    You may have a hard time renting an apartment without employment, unless you have a cosigner. You cannot put student loan money on the renter's application as income to show that you can afford the...

  10. Can I still get into nursing school with an F on my transcript?

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

    I agree with Tflowers. It definitely depends on the school you are applying to. I just finished my second semester of "actual" nursing classes. I am in a traditional BSN program. The school I go to...

  11. First semester Expensive

    Shorty11 replied to Cuteypie504's topic in General Students

    Great suggestions, Brillohead! We have several professions who told us on the first day that if we hadn't purchased our textbooks yet, that it would be okay to get one edition older if we could not...

  12. It's getting real!

    Shorty11 replied to Racer15's topic in General Students

    3SemStudent-I think you should reconsider not attending your pinning ceremony. I'm sorry that your family or those who are close with you cannot attend. I know it is hard to imagine someone who is not...

  13. First semester Expensive

    Shorty11 replied to Cuteypie504's topic in General Students

    The city I live in has a low-income shot program at the health department. It drastically reduced my cost of required immunizations. Like another poster said, I would suggest buying textbooks online...

  14. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Shorty11 replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

    I wanted to apologize to the OP. Perhaps by the time I responded it was unnecessary for me to reiterate what other posters had already said. I didn't mean to come off as harsh.. just concerned for the...

  15. College Math

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

    I agree with x_factor. You should contact an academic advisor at the school(s) you are interested in. They can answer specific questions and point you in the right direction as to what type of math...

  19. What 2 science classes would you take?

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

    Tough choice! Taking two labs at the same time is difficult, but it can be done! ( I'm in my second semester of nursing classes, working on a BSN. I hold a BS is Biology with a minor in Chemistry.) I...

  20. Thank You Treat for Staff

    Shorty11 replied to jazacmom's topic in General Students

    Our school actually states in writing that although it is thoughtful to want to give instructors/staff gifts, it is against school policy to accept gifts from students. Instead, our instructors...

  21. Will I get in trouble ? ? ?

    Shorty11 replied to Congababe13's topic in General Students

  23. question about genetics

    Shorty11 replied to hj110's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Esme is right (as usual : ) ) I was just trying to think of a reason to not just flat out answer the problem. Lol. Analyzing the pedigree for you really won't help you in the long run.. All Nurses is...
