  1. Should I become a CNA while I'm taking my 2 years of prerequisites for RN School?

    Bobmo88 replied to Kaley_G4466's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did BSN pre-reqs, phlebotomy, and worked on a non-nursing bachelor's degree while on a wait list for an ADN program. It all worked out because I got withdrawn from the wait list for not taking the...

  3. Current CSU nursing students. Do you still enjoy college?

    Bobmo88 replied to Dreadnaught's topic in California Nursing

    My advice to you would be to hit the books hard so you can get into nursing school right away and party it up once you're out of school. If you're going into nursing, you will be too busy with...

  4. Feeling discourage for my broken English

    Bobmo88 replied to Carmen808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that as long as you understand English more than you speak then you will be fine. English was my first language but I'm Latino/Hispanic/Mexican-American/whatever you want to call it and I...

    Bobmo88 replied to MissRN2b's topic in General Students

  6. Why would my friend request IV supplies?

    Bobmo88 replied to callie104's topic in General Students

    Some of my co-workers said that when they were younger they used to start IVs on each other after being hungover in Vegas and it would work. I would not give your friend the supplies though because if...

  8. Finger Prints

    Bobmo88 replied to Thujone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bobmo88 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. RN to BSN confusion

    Bobmo88 replied to jessrh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Help!!! Psychology Human and Growth Development difficulty?

    Bobmo88 replied to evenstevenz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bobmo88 replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I first applied to an ADN program that had a wait list in the Spring of 2009. I applied to 3 BSN programs and didn't get into any of them. I got Bs in all of my pre-reqs except for Micro in which I...

    Bobmo88 replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Students & Nurses- How do I get into nursing school with low undergrad gpa?

    Bobmo88 replied to clg0213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to try to get A's in all of your remaining pre-reqs and then if the programs you are applying to have points based systems, try to see what else you can do to raise your score such...

  19. BSN vs ABSN

    Bobmo88 replied to KDSkyy44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to start a traditional BSN program this Fall after earning my first Bachelor's this past Spring. My program is three years including summers but due to the fact that I completed all of my...

  20. TEAS 5 math section

    Bobmo88 replied to margritamix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend buying the ATI study guide and practice tests so you know exactly what you're up against. I hadn't done a lot of those types of problems in years so I was a bit rusty when I did the...

  21. Nursing after bachelors HELP!

    Bobmo88 replied to Alphatraz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to take a close look at the admission criteria for each program you are considering applying to and see which one suits you better. Maybe some programs care more about pre-requisite GPAs,...

  22. Does nursing school look at your overall GPA?

    Bobmo88 replied to kidd5006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each school is different; my school took into account overall GPA but prerequisite GPA was weighted more. I would take a look at the criteria for each program you're applying

    Bobmo88 replied to Ashleym9831's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  24. Chemistry for Liberal Arts or General Chemistry?

    Bobmo88 replied to SBJ1044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as they are both accepted by your program, I would do the easiest class to ensure getting an A but ginna121 has a good point. I actually took an Intro to General, Organic, and Biochem class...

  25. Best work experience for pre-nursing student?

    Bobmo88 replied to catman88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
