  1. How are the people making A's or B's studying?

    danedsel replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Learning how to answer critical thinking/application questions can be easy for some but a process for others. The trick is opening your mind to the format and structure of the questions to be able to...

  2. Got 81% on my first try, should i retake it?

    danedsel replied to yvette1222's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I just took the TEAS and scored exactly the same, 81%! I got in to my in-state school but not my out-of-state school. If they won't take the higher score, don't risk it. Nursing schools everywhere are...

  3. Transferring students

    danedsel replied to ggchavarria's topic in General Students

    Ah, so there IS another like myself in the same situation. First off, I'm sorry that this situation arose and that you're in this dilemma. I am also in this pickle. Here's what I've discovered in my...

  4. People sure do have some nasty opinions about nursing

    danedsel replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    Yeah, that's the double-edged sword of forums, I guess. Still, it's not as bad as YouTube. I don't know what the TOS say about this sort of thing, but there has to be some sort of line between...

  5. Just feeling down

    danedsel replied to Scrubs_girl's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure I fully understand your situation. The classes you're currently taking (microbiology, math, sociology, etc.) are usually pre-reqs or gen ed classes at most schools. Is this their form of...

  6. NOW HIRING: NO NEW GRADS, NO NEW GRADS...please apply.

    danedsel posted a topic in General Students

    My, oh my, oh, chicken pie. Could it be that we don't have a nursing shortage as much as we have an EXPERIENCED nursing shortage? One can only speculate when rumors abound. Since I have the luxury of...

  7. Is Nursing right for me?

    danedsel replied to driven_chick1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It seems like you really want to explore a career in allied health, at least since you dropped the journalism idea. Probably smart about the journalism, though. If you're not an Editor in chief (not...

  8. Can a nursing student transfer into a program elsewhere?

    danedsel posted a topic in General Students

    I realize this question has probably been asked hundreds of times, but I wanted to specifically address my (possible) dilemma. Was recently accepted into a local nursing program beginning Fall '13...

  9. How many work and go to nursing school?

    danedsel replied to jarielle22's topic in General Students

    Yes, but remember nursing school is NO joke and many students re-mediate or fail out due to their work schedules. Also, remember that the first semester and sometimes second are weed out

  10. What are my chances of getting into an Accelerated Nursing Program with a 3.1?

    danedsel replied to mlb27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As you probably already know, most schools look at only pre-requisite courses and test scores as grounds for acceptance/rejection. However, having a BS in Health Science, being a certified MA and...

  11. what topics to study for pre-req's like A&P, micro and pathophysiology?

    danedsel replied to rosy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, in A&P I it was almost straight somatic nervous system which is part of the peripheral nervous system controlling voluntary movement of muscle, etc. Since, A&P I deals mainly with...

  12. Transferring Nursing Student

    danedsel replied to lyfhckr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. So, you're still in school up north and waiting to make yet another transfer? 2. What kinds of schools were these other two? Community colleges? Vocational/tech schools? I live in L.A. on and off,...

  13. I am new here wondering if anyone took the LPN-RN route even though they have a B.A..

    danedsel replied to Niks09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For yourself and many students, your's is the first question one asks: "Should I go LPN first, then ADN bridge program later?" For me, it was an option and unfortunately I wasted about a year debating...

  14. I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    danedsel replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wait lists, huh? You must be in California! I know, because I live there, too. I've seen wait lists just for LVN/LPN that were 5+ years!! 25 years old isn't old. Don't sequester yourself to just one...

  15. Didn't get accepted into first of three schools...advice?

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

    GPA is 3.08 and HESI score was 85. Too low for either of

    danedsel posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I realize that many of you, either nurses, nursing students or pre-nursing students have experienced this rejection and so any advice concerning my approach of the nursing application process or...

  17. Didn't get accepted into first of three schools...advice?

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

    Wow, interesting. I have looked at accelerated programs in certain schools and it's a shame I didn't explore more of those programs. They have more pre-reqs, but yeah you're right it would probably...

  18. Didn't get accepted into first of three schools...advice?

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

    Sorry, to clarify: I HAVE done all pre-reqs and 5 of 7 co-requisites. I do apologize if I was a little

  19. How do credits transfer to LPN Bridge Programs once you have your LPN????

    danedsel posted a topic in LPN to RN

    What I mean is, if you go to a private tech/ vocational school for LPN, will there be any per-reqs to take for the bridge program??? I'm sure it's not a seamless transition but I'm interested in LPN...
