  1. Kaplan Nursing entrance exam- 2nd time around!

    Julesmama28 replied to FutureNurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took that exam 3 times, the science part is just HARD. Study your physiology, but hopefully your school won't look too closely at the ind scores but the overall. Mine only counted the overall and...

  2. When Will I Know?!?!?

    Julesmama28 replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    Our school sends official letters still. Last fall mine was a normal sized one pager. This spring it was still a regular envelope, but thick! I obviously got in, and knew it as soon as I saw it!...

  3. Clinical hours?

    Julesmama28 posted a topic in General Students

    I will be starting a BSN program in the fall. Our director says we will finish the 5 semesters with 1000 clinical hours - "the highest in the state" (Colorado) So, my question is: how does this...

  4. What color is your uniform?

    Julesmama28 replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    White everything! We do get to pick our own brands at least. We have a dark pink school patch too, along with our student nurse name tags. I'm

  5. pre nursing no more!!

    Julesmama28 replied to momtojosh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! What a great feeling! I too, am finished. Our program requires all the sciences be finished first, and the other generals be done by the 3rd semester. I'm all finished with everything!...

  6. It's Official

    Julesmama28 replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I am in for fall too and I can't wait to start! I am also scared. Scared I won't be able to hack it. I have a family and a husband who travels a lot for work. I worry about neglecting...

  7. Will my tattoos hold me back?

    Julesmama28 replied to MLutiker's topic in General Students

    I just had orientation for our program. While we have to cover up tats and only one pair of earrings etc, I really think if you can keep them covered and you look professional it won't

  8. Never Giving Up...

    Julesmama28 replied to JaeLaw23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you for not giving up! I say take I chem this summer then apply in the fall. I have been there in your spot, and it set me back but not for good! Last fall I thought I was all set to enter...

  9. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

    Julesmama28 replied to turtlezoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN programs require lots of pre reqs too. Mine is in all a 5 year program. About 65 credits of generals and 67 of the actual nursing program and clinicals. It's time consuming, but any rn program...

  10. Off topic Prof HATES me...what to do?

    Julesmama28 replied to fitzy5's topic in General Students

    Wow. That is harsh! What did you say to the add comment? I'm not sure what the correct course of action should be, but if I were you I would reign in my personality and do whatever it takes to just...

  11. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    Julesmama28 replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been at this off and on for years! I have had A&p 1, 3 times. First time I dropped out when I got preg and sick. 2nd time I got an a, but waited too long to go back to school so now i...

  12. I got a scholarship!

    Julesmama28 posted a topic in General Students

    Am a non traditional student who has taken years and a few detours to get to the BSN program. I'm thrilled I got in, but then reality sank in and I started stressing about how we are going to pay for...

  13. Low GPA...Getting accepted

    Julesmama28 replied to cljonesfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school. Mine only looks at your gpa from 5 years back. Then you get xtra points for having a good gpa for the pre reqs. Sounds like they'd be dumb not to get you! I am an older more...

  14. micro and a&p II in one semester?

    Julesmama28 replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it too, along with some others! I had 3 little kids and delivered the fourth during finals week! I honestly don't know how I did it, but if you are committed you can

  15. ccac's rejections letters for the nursing program

    Julesmama28 replied to tpejjj's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I agree with the second poster. My school did something similar to help weed out competition- they added an interview last minute. I had a 4.0 in pre reqs, 3.8 overall, all my pre reqs done and then...

  16. I did it!

    Julesmama28 replied to tkm2005's topic in General Students

  17. Textbooks?

    Julesmama28 posted a topic in General Students

    Getting ready to start my BSN program in the fall. So far in my schooling I have been able to save a ton of money on my textbooks by buying the older additions. Many of them are not much different...

    Julesmama28 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Ours is 5 years. I just got done with A&p 1 and 2 for the second time! I retook patho too. It was a good thing, I did better the second time and it helped get me into the

  19. I'm finally finished!

    Julesmama28 replied to sKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I'm in the exact same place- non traditional student just finished my pre-reqs and finally got in for fall! I'm so excited to find out more details too. We got a packet about...

  20. A&P 1 what would you do?

    Julesmama28 replied to southphilly_chic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take it again. I took mine over again, but only because it was over 5 years old and I had to. If you want to be competitive for nursing school you need at least a

  21. Stuck... waiting (small vent)

    Julesmama28 replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    I totally empathize! I applied march 1st, had to wait a month just to find out if I was selected for an interview or not, then wait for that and stress, THEN go home and wait for a letter. That was...

  22. Textbooks?

    Julesmama28 replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Julesmama28 replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    Cheesepotato, that was beautiful! I don't know that I'm interested in OR nursing, but I have been a patient there and I've had nurses just like you! You

  24. Are many nurses products of abusive/drug dependent homes & parents?

    Julesmama28 replied to wsp4905's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but just got into a BSN program! I grew up with two loving parents, no drugs or alcohol. I have wanted to be a nurse since I can
