  2. Will my poor GPA make it impossible to get into nursing school?

  3. Will my poor GPA make it impossible to get into nursing school?

    Jennie.K replied to MrsSpence's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jennie.K replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Online nursing school

    Jennie.K replied to armywife12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am pretty sure you have to already be an RN for online schools. You could get your ADN then do the bridge online. If your husband's re-enlistment is coming up, he could re-enlist for stabilization...

  11. Opportunity vs. distance

    Jennie.K replied to raecudzy1's topic in General Students

    Jennie.K replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. which college do i choose?

    Jennie.K replied to tubellax0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above posters, it is up to you. I got roped into my expensive, private school because they are giving me over half the tuition in scholarships. If I were to switch to the CC near me,...

  15. How do you make it through the sciences?

    Jennie.K replied to 123itsjesset's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was terrified to take any science courses. Being an English major with a perfect 4.0, the thought of a possible B made me tremble. Obviously, I switched to nursing. After the first week of A&P...

    Jennie.K replied to Texasharp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, there are no prereqs for A&P I. I took it with 8 other credits - college algebra, general psych, a work study course (blow off credit), and a weight lifting class. There were only...

  20. Feeling discourage for my broken English

    Jennie.K replied to Carmen808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with what the above posters said. Also, if you want to improve your English, try going out and speaking it more. I am more shy when I know I will see people again. Try going to a farmers...

    Jennie.K replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Leave nursing job to be stay-at-home mom?

    Jennie.K replied to mol42's topic in Nursing Career

    I tried to be a stay-at-home mom; but it only lasted a few months. I envy the women that can be a full time wife, mother, cook, and house keeper. Staying at home made me go crazy and become really...
