    How does this plan sound to you?

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

    Your course sequence looks good but I do have one question (and I may just be reading what you wrote wrong) but would you apply to start your BSN in the fall of 2015 or actually graduate in fall

    College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    zoe92 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I choose college because my handwriting actually becomes smaller and neater when I use it. I am OCD about handwriting though (I have a complex about my own) so if I can type up something, I would...

    Finished Pre-Nursing, Need help on ADN or BSN??

    zoe92 replied to zawadi33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on where you live. I live in a highly educated area with multiple cities around. So yes, ADNs are being phased out. But by you this may not be the case. I would call hospitals around you...

    Grade in Anatomy and Physiology

    zoe92 replied to danny_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My story is that I took A & P I in the summer & did awful. It put me back a semester because I retook it the following fall & got a B (all of my science pre reqs were B's). Even though I...

    Need help choosing some classes!!

    zoe92 replied to dayanan715's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did what you did... Took pre reqs at a community college & planned to transfer to a university for nursing school. Honestly, if you want to go to a 4 year school, don't take the nursing class...

    A&P Hype

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

    The class is not hard but it is a lot of studying. I recommend finding a good teacher. No, not necessarily easy, but someone who is good at explaining the material. It can make all the difference....

    Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    zoe92 replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    I have always rented for pre reqs but for my first semester of nursing classes, I bought all my books on Amazon. I figure this way they are mine no matter what. Amazon also helped me save a lot of...

    Applying for both BSN and ADN at one nursing school

    zoe92 replied to Renia190's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools do not allow you to apply for both programs. I know this is true for one community college by my house. They allowed you to apply for the LPN program OR the ADN program but not both. I...

    Ugh, Chemistry..

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

    Don't let chemistry make you think you are not cut out for nursing. Chemistry is a very tough subject & I applaud you for doing as well as you currently are. I have taken chemistry, both A & P...

    What Chemistry class did you guys take for prenursing? I took biochem?

    zoe92 replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took general chemistry but the school I am transferring to for nursing school required allied health chemistry so I am taking that now. It is much easier than general chemistry but really...

    How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

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

    I applied to four programs & was convinced I would not get in. My back up plan was to finish my bachelors since I could earn a BA in psych in one year, improve a couple of my pre req grades &...

    north pay better than south

    zoe92 replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    I live in Maryland and hate it. Nurses make good money but the cost of living is high. I live in the suburbs & a decent house stars at $350,000. The state just raised the tolls, gas tax and even...

    School losing NLN accredidation ..

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

    Accreditation is completely voluntary & an expensive process. What you need to make sure is your school is approved by your state's board of nursing. The big issue with a school not being...

    zoe92 replied to CourtM092's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NCLEX is a national exam so you take it wherever you want. So if you plan on working in NJ, you can take your NCLEX there after you graduate. Hope that

    zoe92 replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Call your board of nursing & ask they if they are still going to approve the program. If you are interested in getting a master's or continuing your education to a higher level, I would also call...

    CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

    zoe92 replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Does your state board of nursing still approve the program? That is the most important factor. Accreditation is good to have but also an expensive and lengthy process to go

    Chamberlain is for profit, which is not necessarily bad except it means it is more of a business rather than a college like the University of Houston which is specifically an educational institution....
