    How bad will a repeat

    zoe92 replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A repeat is not bad as long as you don't try to repeat all your pre requisites, which it doesn't sound like you

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

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

    Depends on the state and the school. My school in MD has a rule that science courses need to be retaken after 5

    best option

    zoe92 replied to brandi-007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How to ask for Letters of Recommendation-Feel embarrassed!

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

    Personally, I would always be upfront. Tell the professor you are applying for nursing school and would he/she mind writing a recommendation for you? I would not tell them it's because they are the...

    How to choose the right type of nursing?

    zoe92 replied to audrey17's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with not.done.yet on getting the core skills out of the way. Work in wherever you can get a job, get your feet wet with a few years of experience, and then try to pursue a specific area. I...

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

    Check your school's rules on retaking. I have to retake anatomy. My school will replace the bad grade with my new grade but the old AND new grade will still show up on my

    Explanation

    zoe92 replied to Resa12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The more beneficial one depends where you live. I live in Maryland, where BSN is slowly becoming more "beneficial" than the RN. Maryland is one of the highest paying states, although I do not know if...

    ADN or BSN?

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

    I agree with Subee about checking out the job market. Honestly, where I live ADNs are getting asked to get a BSN. BSNs are more likely to get hired over an ADN, even one with more experience. Do you...

    ADN or BSN?

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

    In Maryland you can do a program at UMB where you get a masters in nursing but have a bachelors degree in something else. So in the graduate program you do clinicals. It is 16 months long and a great...

    Starting in the fall

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

    My biggest piece of advice (besides studying and doing well) is do not try to cram in your science pre requisites. I tried to take Anatomy and Chemistry together during an 7 week summer session so I...

    Microbiology

    zoe92 replied to CMH11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about testing out of it, but I would recommend finishing pre requisites before retaking micro. That way if your school or program only allows one retake (like mine), you can choose to use...

    zoe92 replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Txffmedic, I have not take pharmacology but I have taken microbiology. I do not recommend combining micro with another heavy science class while working full time. It would be over whelming to me....

    zoe92 replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely think working full time and taking pre reqs is doable. I would recommend doing classes part time to not overload yourself, Many of my friends who are working full time do that and it...
