  1. Working out on schedule!

    CareQueen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I have lost 70 lbs within the last year,and now that I'm in my first semester of my ABSN program, I am struggling to keep up with those better eating habits and my exercise regimen. I'm still hanging...

  2. Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    CareQueen replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Check with your school and see if the hospitals that they have a relationship with have any options. My school's affiliated hospital offers nursing students who have finished the first semester of...

    CareQueen replied to CareQueen's topic in General Students

    CareQueen replied to jahall05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^THIS I got into Johns Hopkins for their 17-month ABSN last year, but wound up having to defer my enrollment to this Summer because of the $100k (once you include housing and extras, tuition itself...

    CareQueen replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmm...is it that problematic to go into a profession for the money though? I don't know that I think it is ,nor do I think that has anything to do with being good at the job. I'd be lying if I said...

  7. How is your sleep?

    CareQueen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I am a social media ADDICT..and it seriously affects my studies AND my sleep lol. I study, only to keep staring at Facebook and Instagram every 10 mins & covering MUCH less material than I'd like...

  8. Anatomy & Physiology I/II Summer 2013

    CareQueen replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My A&P II class is over on Monday, but I am definitely NOT going to get an A. I'm expecting a B by the skin of my teeth! I'm proud of that B though, because my schedule has been HECTIC and I've...

  9. Summer Sessions are for Champs!!!

    CareQueen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Summer session classes just started this past Monday, and I already feel wiped out! I'm taking an 8-wk Microbio class, to be followed by a 5-wk A&P II class before I'm finished with prereqs and...

    It's great to know that we're all in the struggle together! How are classes going for

  11. How many nursing schools are you applying to?

    CareQueen replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, it's a whopping $100k. This is the figure that the school gives with all probable costs included, like health insurance, living expenses, transportation etc. Tuition and fees itself is only about...

  12. How many nursing schools are you applying to?

    CareQueen replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to one school and one school only. This is a second degree for me (for my first degree I applied to 9 schools), so I decided that if I was going to go for it, I was going to REALLY go for it...

  13. How many of you are in your 20's?

    CareQueen replied to kstrac13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same situation as bubbly26. I'm 25 w/no children, no husband, & a Bachelor's degree in PoliSci. I'm starting a 17-month ABSN program in the Fall. I think the 20s are the perfect age to...

  14. Anatomy & Physiology I/II Summer 2013

    CareQueen replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am, I am!...I'm taking A&P II during the late Summer session (July 16th-August 19t). It will be a 5wk course. I just started an 8-wk Microbio course this past Monday as well, which runs from...

  15. A & P final grades are in, what's urs

    CareQueen replied to cee cee g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My grade was an A. Not sure of the actual percentage...doesn't really matter, as long as I got my A. :) Congratulations,

  16. Last week of pre-reqs!

    CareQueen replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my last week of Stats. The final is next Saturday. I'm hoping to make an A in the course, but think it will probably wind up being a B. Ah well, can't win 'em all. :) I have three more weeks...

  17. Three months into an accelerated nursing school program...

    CareQueen replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Whoo-hoooooo!!! I start a 17-month Accelerated prog in August as well, and I hope to have similar success. Good luck to you

  18. Accelerated BSN prerequisites

    CareQueen replied to JT1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, having a Bachelor's does not automatically bar you from receiving Fed aid. You probably won't be eligible for any grants, but Fed loans are always available to you as long as you haven't maxed...

  19. Accelerated BSN prerequisites

    CareQueen replied to JT1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In your same predicament. B.A. in Poli Sci, going back this Fall for an ABSN @ Hopkins. Taking prereqs now at a local community college & I would suggest that you do so as well to save $$. Make...

  21. Summer Classes

    I'll be taking an 8 wk. Microbio course followed by a 5 wk. A&P II course...and then directly to start my ABSN prog this Fall. Oh, joy!

  22. ABSN-MSN-DNP all in one

    CareQueen replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To echo everyone else, I've seen plenty of Combined ABSN/MSN programs, but never one that includes the DNP as well, at least not one that wouldn't require you to work in the field before starting it....

  23. Do I need to retake Statistics?

    CareQueen replied to umbdude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Statistics during my first Bachelors degree, but unfortunately my ABSN program won't accept it. They'll only accept Statistics classes taken in Math, Education, Psychology, Biology, or...

  24. How many are going straight for your BSN?

    CareQueen replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going the ABSN route. I already have a B.A., so an ADN seems like a waste of time to me...especially since lots of hospitals prefer BSNs and I eventually want to dabble in Nursing Mgmt/...

  25. First A&P Exams...Let's hear it!

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

    I received a 91 on the first lecture exam and an 87.5 on the first lab practical. I wanted an A on the practical as well, but I'm satisfied! On to the
