    RubySlippers06 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all!! I could use some of your advice. I'm starting my first semester of NS in the fall. It has been a while since I've taken A&P and I had a really terrible instructor for A&P II....

  8. What inspired you to be a nurse?

    RubySlippers06 replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first time I thought about being a nurse was when I was about 7 years old and I had to go to the ER. Watching everything they did made me think being a nurse looked like a lot of fun. Then, when I...

  11. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    RubySlippers06 replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    We're a military family. No contract comes without strings. Personally, I believe it is a lot better option than having $130K in student loan debt. With the Airforce, you can go the neonatal route...

    RubySlippers06 replied to Autymnfyres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Terrified about student loan debt. ADVICE

    RubySlippers06 replied to becca94's topic in General Students

    I didn't read all of the comments on here, sorry! But, has anyone mentioned joining the military? You could do the Navy Nurse Corps ROTC program. This will pay you a little during school and then help...

  14. kaplan nursing entrance exam nctc spring 2015

    RubySlippers06 replied to msafeatthird's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took the Kaplan for one of the programs I applied to and I got accepted. They told us not to study for it bc they wanted our base knowledge. I think I scored a 78 or 79 on it. The science is what...

    RubySlippers06 replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RubySlippers06 replied to jm4356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with people about retaking it. Also, make sure you really put the time into studying. You can youtube study tips. That was super helpful to me! On a side note, I would contact the pre-nursing...

  18. College Algebra and Statistics

    RubySlippers06 replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience was similar to some. I breezed through algebra with an A. Statistics killed me, but not exactly because it was hard. It was the only class I was taking and my husband was deployed....

    RubySlippers06 replied to Autymnfyres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! That was kind of a lot to read, so I skimmed a lot. It seems as though you are trying to decide between spreading the science courses out at the CC with a cheaper tuition, or taking them all...

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Microbiology before finishing A&P?

    RubySlippers06 replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking both right now and, I too, have a ton of overlapping. Since you've had some chemistry, I think you'll be okay. I've never taken chem nor general bio; so I've had to play catch up a little....

    RubySlippers06 replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hang in there! Start focusing on location, functions, and how things work together. Memorizing definitions won't be enough. You'll need to know the definition; but, if you study the why and how, the...
