  1. Has anyone repeat one class and got into Nursing program?

    I had a W and an F in a&p1. I ended up with a C and got a C in micro the same semester. All other grades have been A's and B's. I got accepted to a BSN program and start in January. I had somewhat high TEAS scores and a 3.4 GPA overall, so I thin...
  2. How many people in your class?

    90 people starting in our cohort in January, roughly 30-40 people in each class I believe. Ive seen 3 different schedules so far, so it could be more or less.
  3. Yes! I've been accepted into Nursing School!

    Congrats and good luck on your search for some additional help with funding! I will be starting in January as well! :)
  4. Planning "My Space" for Nursing School

    Im starting in January as well :) and I spent today organizing my office. We don't have children, but my husband loves his video games so I need a quiet space away from him. I have 2 small cheap desks in there, one holds my printer and other miscella...
  5. Maybe im not a nurse

    Don't beat yourself up too bad. It seems that this semester you had a pretty big load. You can always retake the class again later on to try for a better grade. I had 2 really bad semesters when I first moved to VA (where I live now) from FL (where I...
  6. Recording lectures

    I used to record my history lectures and I just downloaded an app for it (I have an android). The only problem I had was that I couldn't rename the files I just had to look at the date and time they were saved to know which was which. Are there are a...
  7. Maybe im not a nurse

    I'm with Chelsea ^… I KNOW down to my bones this is what I want and that I was created for this. Do you feel that drive? Are there other subjects that you feel strongly about?
  8. Winter Break

    This semester is my last semester as a pre-nursing student, so I'm going to enjoy my last few weeks of freedom by being lazy and going to see my family. Oh and also by welcoming my husband back home from his 2nd deployment, woot! Next semester the fu...
  9. Hybrid Nursing School?

    Many of my classes at my school are hybrid. My first semester 2 classes are online and 2 are hybrid (patho and health assessment). I believe ours are offered this way due to the limited number of instructors at our school. We are a college of health ...
  10. East Coast to West Coast

    I don't know if this is a vent or plea for help or what... But here goes. My husband is military, we are stationed on the East Coast. He's currently deployed and called me at 3 am to tell me he got his new orders, he is being transferred to Californi...
  11. East Coast to West Coast

    Thanks Rubato. I'm strongly leaning towards that decision myself. They've given us some options, one of which is that he could leave in the fall instead of the summer, making it only a year and a half that we would have to be apart. This is probably ...
  12. East Coast to West Coast

    I don't have a degree in Nursing at the moment. My associates is in Social Sciences, Im sorry I should have clarified that. So I would have to go to a CC first, and then do the RN-BSN thing. I don't mind doing that though, its just another list of sc...
  13. How to look professional?

    ^ All good advice :) I also wanted to add that just the way you carry yourself can make you appear more "grown up." I'm 24 and am constantly told I act like I'm in my late 20's because in a professional setting I am polite, I say yes ma'am/no ma'am, ...
  14. Anybody else tired of taking pre-reqs?

    I am in my last semester of pre-req's/finishing my Associate's. Its taken me 5 years to complete due to marrying a military guy, moving, and having to take time off to work because we couldn't afford my classes at the time. Let me tell you, I am sooo...
  15. Im starting my BSN core classes in January, Im sooo ready but still nervous! We'll do great though! :)
  16. Who was admitted into nursing school?

    Hi there! I was in your position a couple years ago. I actually flunked ap1! I retook it and got a C and a C in micro (taken at the same time). I should have done better but at the time I was overwhelmed with school, work, and my husbands first Navy ...
  17. Some of the things you hear as a student..

    Our program has a nursing asst class we have to take beforehand also. We do basic patient care and some invasive things such as Foley's, blood draws, wet-to-moist dressing changes, and then ekg's and vitals. It gives us the opportunity to get a job a...
  18. Any 2015 grads?

    In Va, starting in January, finishing my BSN in May 2015 :)
  19. I would think you would be okay if they are going through the process of accreditation. The program I was accepted to didn't have their accreditation until a couple months ago. They had had a 2 yr ADN program for many many years and a few years ago d...
  20. How to study!?

    ^This! I'm in a pre nursing/nursing assistant course for my BSN program right now (regular classes start in January) and our tests are NCLEX style. Several people have struggled adjusting to the new style, but you can do it. Try not to read the quest...
  21. Smoking and the Nursing Student

    My mom has been using the e-cigs for almost a year, she's been able to reduce the amount of "smokes" she has in a day and doesn't crave real cigarettes. She really likes them.
  22. BSN versus ADN

    Good luck futureBSN
  23. New BSN program- Accredidation troubles?

    My program is like yours, they just had their first BSN class graduate in May. They received their CCNE accreditation (for that specific program) a month or 2 later. It was my understanding that they had to graduate a class first before they could re...
  24. BSN versus ADN

    I chose to go for my BSN because it would be less schooling I would I have to go through later on if I decided to further my education. Also, the few ADN schools around here are nearly impossible to get into and I got accepted into my BSN program the...
  25. Smoking and the Nursing Student

    What you don't realize is that your skin, hair, and breath still smells like it. Trust me, my husband smoked for years and I always knew when he smoked as soon as he walked in the room. You still smell bad to a nonsmoker, imagine how you smell to a n...
