  1. Student looking for a christian school in Texas with a great nursing program!

    Jennie.K replied to CaseymcFacey's topic in Texas Nursing

    I doubt this will be checked; however, if it is, could you (or anyone) tell me why you would not recommend

  2. I'm Accepted!

    Jennie.K replied to Meds4souls's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, I go there now. They offer summer courses but not for the nursing program. The tuition is $730 a credit hour, plus fees (about $1000 a semester) and books. They offer a lot

  3. Financial Aid Question

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

    You should talk to the financial aid office at the school. I don't think anyone on here will be able to answer those questions since fin aid varies by state, school, and situation. Since you already...

  4. Should I take Micro and Anatomy and Physiology in the same semester?

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

    I would take it with the second A&P so you have a little more bio under your belt. Also because you would hve already learned how to study for A&P. I know a lot of people hve a hard time with...

    Jennie.K posted a topic in Nursing Career

  6. Economy, debt, finding a job

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

    I am extremely ambitious so I know I will make the effort. I'm just worried because it seems like there are so many new grads who say they have put out over 100 applications. Also, I am an army wife...

  7. Did I make the right decision :/

    Jennie.K replied to Randi156's topic in General Students

    I think it just depends where you are. I go to a private school (for me it is cheaper than public bc they offer more scholarship) and the hospital will "favor" these applicants. It is also the only...

  8. Question about major change?

    Jennie.K replied to sincerelya1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you know you want to be a nurse and A&M doesn't have a program, I would transfer schools. I go to UMHB so I don't know a lot about A&M, but I would waste time and $$ going after a degree...

  9. Is it possible to do get a BSN as a single mom?

    Jennie.K replied to cantwait2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely is possible. I was a single mom while I did cosmetology school and worked as a hairstylist. Now, I'm no longer a single mom but my husband is in the army and away a lot. I am also...

  10. New to this forum and need help please

    Jennie.K replied to Cannova93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous post. Take some time to volunteer somewhere. I also had a rough childhood and I barely graduated high school. I simply did not care about anything. I took some time before I...

  11. Paying for school??

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

    I am eligible for Pell (thank God) but my school is about 24,000 a year. I have worked my butt off and I have approx 17,000 in scholarship. The rest I have a loan for :-/ I would just start applying...

  12. Study schedule for someone who has a family

    Jennie.K replied to mattfd37's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    Jennie.K replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in an online sociology class. It is terrible because not even the PROFESSOR can write in complete sentences. Then, I can barely decipher what the other students are trying to say in the...

  14. Course load or course overload???

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

    What is your GPA now and can you keep it (or get it) close to a 4.0? Also, are you strong in math and science? Statistics is a TON of homework (at least at my school). The fact that you have no other...

  15. Am I insane to try this?

    Jennie.K posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, need your opinions!!! Next semester I am taking A&P II, Chemistry, Public Speaking, and Developmental Psych (14 credit hours). I am an Army Wife and have two small children. My husband will...

  16. Paying for grauate school

    Jennie.K replied to Queen2u's topic in Advanced Practice

    Talk to the school about scholarships. Also, if you have. High GPA/GRE score, they will usually give a stipend. I'm planning on going to Baylor's DNP-Nursre Midewife program. Most of my professors...

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

    Ours aren't bad. They are purple (our schools colors are purple and yellow) and they have the school crest on the front pocket. I havent started yet and I really hope they let us wear a 3/4 sleave...

  18. UMHB

    Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in Texas Nursing

    Awesome, thanks for the advise. I am hoping to get a job as a nurse tech next summer. Im not exactly sure what nurse techs do; but I was thinking it was along the lines of what a CNA

  19. UMHB

    Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's okay, thanks for the reply! I go there now (thanks to scholarships) and I want to do the nursing program but I am not sure if it is a good

  20. Should it be this hard?

    Jennie.K replied to Chaotic94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chaotic94, feel free to email me if you have questions. I absolutely love biology and I love

  21. Should it be this hard?

    Jennie.K replied to Chaotic94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try teaching the material to a fake class or find someone you can study with and teach it to them. I LOVE physiology! I made friends with a girl in class who was having a hard time. She is really...

    Jennie.K replied to Jennie.K's topic in Texas Nursing

    Jennie.K replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would love to work there when I graduate! I am still trying to decide between there and the L&D program at Scott and White. Do you know if they offer any new grad programs? I looked at their...

  24. Am I insane to try this?

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

    Thank you everyone! I think it would probably be easier if there was family around. I think I'm going to hold off on the EKG so my kiddos don't get neglected. I feel so bad when I don't have time to...

  25. Not sure this is for me....

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

    If you want/need to work while in school and want to be in the medical field but not a CNA, try looking into EMT-B programs. All the programs here can be done in one semester or over the summer. My...
