    Need help, lacking confidence full of doubt!

    zoe92 replied to amber4452's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate math, but was able to get through college algebra and statistics with an A. It can help to have awesome professors, which I did, and to use the tutoring services offered by your college. Also,...

    LPN with RN School difficulties...What Happened?

    zoe92 replied to DavisMPN's topic in General Students

    If you really want to try again for nursing, I say go for it. Just be aware of what went wrong the first time to prevent it happening a second time. But I don't understand why you have obtained all...

    I have to disagree with hey_suz. Where I live, BSNs and MSNs are preference. MSNs do get paid more. But Maryland is one of the better paying states for

    Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    zoe92 replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    @ brie_1994. I don't know where you live but I live in Maryland. At my community college (and four year schools in the surrounding region/states), you don't need to complete a certain amount of...

    zoe92 replied to RTay64's topic in General Students

    No problem! One of the girls I know is doing the 21 months, one is doing the 16 months. They said there isn't really a difference (in case you decided to do the program for 16 months & move to...

    Feeling lost

    zoe92 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are afraid that if you become a nurse you might not like it, why not shadow a nurse to see what it is all about? It sounds like you are trying to talk yourself out of nursing which is hard to...

    Have you tried studying in a group or getting a tutor? Obviously whatever you are doing is not working. What sort of tips did your instructors give

    RN or BSN?

    zoe92 replied to confused13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both are RNs. Community college would be ADN (or ASN) while bachelor's is BSN. Most schools (even community colleges) take MORE than 1 year to become a RN. Pre reqs take at least a semester and then...

    Question about A&P

    zoe92 replied to StephanieZie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree! I am at a cc taking pre reqs to apply to a BSN program (this is my first time in college). I am having such a hard time matching classes because every school is so different. I...

    Dealing with negativity from family

    zoe92 replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    Your family sounds way too judgemental. It is unfortunate they did not become as appreciative of nurses as you did when your dad was sick. Do not let them affect you. You learned from your previous...

    Trying to find a job while in school full time?

    zoe92 replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could possibly try a night job. I know the hospitals near me offer unit secretary jobs that are for the night shifts. Or even work at a 24 hour gas station or super market? You could be a cashier....

    Finishing prereqs and basics before nursing school?

    zoe92 replied to lillyturtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There usually isn't a general consensus because every school is different. Find specific schools that you want to apply to and see what they want students to have completed. I live in MD and know most...

    Question about A&P

    zoe92 replied to StephanieZie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools (including those with accelerated BSN programs) will only accept Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2. I know someone who took human biology 1 & 2 because she thought the school would...

    TEAS V Exam

    zoe92 replied to seasons18's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAs a month ago. Calculators aren't allowed, but it is pretty basic math (I hate math). The nursing school you are applying to will tell you the lowest score you are allowed to get (at...

    I am a nursing major and i want to minor in something

    zoe92 replied to 3ponceboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completed classes for a minor in aging studies. It's helpful for me because I want to eventually be a geriatric nurse. It also looks good because not a lot of people want to work with the aging, but...
