    Be Careful When Posting

    BloomNurseRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    This is a GREAT reminder! I always post with the thought that I could easily be recognized and never say anything that I wouldn't say to someone in person. That being said, I didn't want to be the...

    Great Gift for Nursing Student (2nd career)?

    BloomNurseRN replied to stmbarnes's topic in General Students

    An iTunes giftcard for nursing apps that she might not buy for herself (assuming she has an iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Please help my school search!!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to fruitypebbles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know where you're located but I am an Ivy Tech student in Indiana. Our program only looks at the scores in 4 courses, as well as the score on the TEAS V entrance exam. There are quite a few...

    Low gpa and a bachelor's degree

    BloomNurseRN replied to Pleasepickme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do have options but honestly, it won't be easy depending on what you choose to do. You could go a community college route (ASN) that would only look at a few pre-req's and an entrance test score...

    Is there a chance?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Daisy02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't imagine what it would hurt to call. Try to be neutral though and not accusatory. If you approach it by listing numbers and why they should have gotten through the list by now then it's going...

    One week left on the alternates list :(

    BloomNurseRN replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Register for any other classes you can take but plan to jump if they call this week. I have known people who got in at the last minute for lots of reasons. I hope you get that

    Is dating or flirting with an another nurse or patient is acceptable?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Patient = NO. Absolutely not, never. Unless you want to lose your job, your reputation and very possibly your license you need to get it out of your head and know that it can never happen. I have...

    19 Units...Advice Anyone?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Kendel.G's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone that says to keep a schedule. Make sure you have all your due dates written in the same place to make sure you're not missing or forgetting anything. Work in groups to help...

    Perfect enough???

    BloomNurseRN replied to Ansumana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like your school doesn't do entrance testing. The best thing to do is talk to someone over the nursing program and see if most applicants also have a 4.0. Good

    In how many years does the Pre-reqs for transferring to BSN expires?

    BloomNurseRN replied to compassionateperson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with everyone here. The longest I've heard is 10 years but again, it's totally dependent on the

    In between Pre-Nursing and Nursing.

    BloomNurseRN replied to arother27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm confused. If you graduated with your associate's, have you taken the NCLEX? If not, are you working on it? If so, and you passed, then you can be working as an RN while going to an advanced...

    Beware......Lee College

    BloomNurseRN replied to Panamanian_2009's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is INSANE! I would be putting up one heck of a fight.

    Financial aid at community colleges as second degree student

    BloomNurseRN replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an AAS in General Studies but haven't maxed out my Pell so I'm still getting that. My school doesn't discriminate on having a previous degree. If you're eligible for aid based on funds or at...

    Working full time and nursing school

    BloomNurseRN replied to wannabeRNbrandy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so sorry. If you can't change your hours to have at least one day open for clinicals, I'm not sure how you could make it work. I worked 33 hours and did full-time nursing school last Fall and...

    How many tries did it take you to get in to Nursing school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to spindash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got in to my school on the first try but there are people in my class that absolutely applied two and three times before getting in. I take inspiration from my sister-in-law. She had to apply...

    LPN - ASN Ivy Tech Lawrence Sept 1st 2012 deadline

    BloomNurseRN replied to libran1984's topic in Indiana Nursing

    If you know that people with grades/scores like that got spots, it sounds like you have a great chance. It certainly doesn't hurt to apply. I didn't realize some Ivy Tech's did the transition...

    What to do, Please help!!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to jenniebethrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you're not 100% interested in the other job, then I would say let it go. Why mess with a new job that you've wanted for a while if the other one isn't your absolute dream job? Just my two

    This disorganization is making me very anxious!!

    BloomNurseRN replied to Bojamashell's topic in General Students

    Ours is the same when it comes to them registering us. I know there's no chance of losing my seat due to registering late but I am the same way about wanting things done and having to wait drives me...

    Nursing Program Preparation

    BloomNurseRN replied to Nursing 2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's scary and overwhelming and tiring and crazy but worth it. Yes, you will be with your textbooks more than your family and friends for a while but how else are you going to learn? As others have...

    How do you feel about using an old edition of a book for nursing school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Kran1990's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also recommend finding the book used on amazon or Chegg. If you really can save a significant amount by getting the previous edition, you might email the instructor to see if that will be okay to...

    TEAS V Anxiety*

    BloomNurseRN replied to nurynmarrone's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It's not easy but it's 100% worth it. I have a 5-year-old and an almost 4-year-old, which makes studying a challenge sometimes. You just have to schedule it and treat it like a job. Good luck and...

    HELP! My second time around in nursing school...

    BloomNurseRN replied to necholahnnn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I totally agree about breaking up the study time. Anything more than an hour is overwhelming and makes it easy to space out. I like the idea of only 45 minutes at a time. Schedule it so you can do...

    I need Money

    BloomNurseRN replied to miabia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Definitely apply for every scholarship your school offers, especially any that require a written letter. I once received an almost $500 scholarship that only 2 other people applied for simply because...

    Need help! Or opinion!

    BloomNurseRN replied to Bunny2987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was also going to recommend an ASN/ADN program. Have you looked at community colleges in your area to see if they are offered? Depending on what classes you already have done, you could be looking...
