Okay. Thanks. This is for entrance into the school of nursing, though. Not for a nursing job. I am still doing pre reqs.

Thank you for your reply. However, every section I elaborated on was specifically asked for on the application directions. Would it still be wise omit sections they want?

The promt says: One page, outling the sections I have in bold below. I added the degree section. Thanks in advance. I don't know if it is missing something or not. Please be honest, you won't hurt my feelings. :) xxxxxxxxxxx 100 Lee Road, xxxxxxxxxxx ▪ Cell: (000) 000-0000 ▪ [email protected] Health Care Interest and Experience BLS for Health Care Providers (American Heart Association) Volunteer Greeter at Children's Hospital Managed long term care of animal with chronic renal failure Participated in xxx Tiger Study Job shadowed paramedics, EMTs, and nurses at xxxxxxxxxxx Campus and Community Involvement Tau Beta Sigma Honorary Band Sorority Iron Giant Percussion Quartet, guest performer Trinity United Methodist Church, timpanist xxx Recital (performed solo timpani composition "Classic African" by Joseph Aiello) xxx Wind Symphony (achieved 2nd chair) xxx Community Wind Symphony xxx Marching Blazers xxx Steel Band xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Choir xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxScholar's Bowl Leadership Qualities Self-motivated learner.

When you are learning the names of anything in anatomy, it will help you to remember it by looking at a picture of it at the same time. Anatomy is all about structure, and it will make more sense if you can see it. Also, don't try to be a perfectionist or you might get behind. Learn it well, yes, but try to see the big picture of how the structures work together and you will be well off.

I am applying both for the BSN and accelerated master's program. I have a degree in music already. This is the first time I have written a real resume and i'm not sure if it is ok or not. It is due in September, so I have time, but want to get as much as possible completed. Thank you in advance. The application instructions said 1 page, outlining the topics sectioned in bold below. I added the degree section. Was not sure at all what to put under leadership so I wrote traits I feel I possess. Also, it did not say what font to use for resume. Should I use the same one as specified for the essay to be on the safe side. Also, how would you suggest I make it have visual appeal without going over the top? It looks pretty boring! xxxxxxxxxxx 100 Lee Road, xxxxxxxxxxx ▪ Cell: (000) 000-0000 ▪ [email protected] Health Care Interest and Experience BLS for Health Care Providers (American Heart Association) Volunteer Greeter at Children's Hospital Managed long term care of animal with chronic renal failure Participated in xxx Tiger Study Job shadowed paramedics, EMTs, and nurses at xxxxxxxxxxx Campus and Community Involvement Tau Beta Sigma Honorary Band Sorority Iron Giant Percussion Quartet, guest performer Trinity United Methodist Church, timpanist xxx Recital (performed solo timpani composition "Classic African" by Joseph Aiello) xxx Wind Symphony (achieved 2nd chair) xxx Community Wind Symphony xxx Marching Blazers xxx Steel Band xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Choir xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxScholar's Bowl Leadership Qualities Self-motivated learner.

Many people decided to become a nurse at this age including myself! I'm sure once you get accepted, the time will fly and you will be a nurse before you know it!

I am a second degree seeker too, and although I don't have kids, I have started to become insecure about whether or not I will be accepted. I think it is normal! As long as you are doing the best you can, you should try to not worry. Try to remember why you wanted to pursue it. School's hard, but only temporary! If you don't do nursing, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years or so?

Don't worry, it's easy! I volunteer at a children's hospital. First, there was a application online. Then, I went and interviewed (which was cheesy easy!,) got a TB skin test, and a background check. I only have to volunteer once a week for about three hours at a time. Once I have the amount of hours needed to put on my resume, I will simply ask for proof on a letterhead from the person in charge of volunteer services.

Don't worry! Just talk to the nursing advisor at the school you would like to attend and they will talk you through everything! I was worried too, but once I saw the advisor, everything was okay!

Well, I wonder what her GPA is! Don't worry about some people like that! You will be a fine nurse!

The only reason I didn't want to do any more projects with him is because of his attitude. He was always bragging almost about how he had been in the class and knew the material. I know that I sound like such a goody 2 shoes, but I want to surround myself with ppl who at least pretend to care! To be honest, I do feel guilty but there are 150 ppl in the class. If he actually went he shouldve had no problem finding a group!

No, we do not have to keep the same members. However, maybe I should have given him a heads up, but he waited around till we had 2 days left to turn it in and since I work I don't have time to wait till the last minute! I don't like that he just assumed I would hold a spot for him and keep him posted too! I have met some pretty cool ppl that actually show up to class that I would rather do the projects with. I didn't intentionally mess him up tho and I dont know if he was able to get in a group on time! I feel bad about that but i think he said that he failed the class the first time over group projects! Maybe he should be more proactive! We network and find our groups in class. I shouldn't have to call him up/hunt him down, etc.! I don't know him well enough for that!

Maybe try to take out loans and try to not have to work as much! It will pay off in the end. The more time you put into studying, the better off you will be because it takes a lot of repetition to really get a solid grasp on the material. Make sure you stay up on the readings!

I am currently taking Anatomy, and we have been doing lots of group projects! A guy that used I know from another class wanted to be in my group so I said OK. We had to do a cell model, and on the day that we planned to meet afterwards, he was not in class. I texted him and he did show up and help, but afterwards, I noticed that he never comes to class! The strange part is that he is usually out in the halls as though he shows up late and doesn't want to walk into class that way. I asked him about it saying- aren't you in my class? To be honest, I really wasn't sure. I found out that this is his second time time taking anatomy and he basically has the attitude that he knows it all and doesn't need to show up for class as long as he studies. That doesn't make sense because part of our grade is based off attendance. Anyways, he is really cocky and acts like he knows it all. To make a long story short, I decided that I wanted to surround myself with people who actually care and did not invite him to be in my group the next time. Two days before the next project was due he texted me asking about when we were going to do the project and I said ummmmm, I am finished. Then he got mad and acted like I was responsible for letting him know, what am i gonna do, etc! He was basically blaming me because he wasnt going to finish on time and proceeded to text me some pretty nasty things! I finally told him that I didnt have time for his nonsense and that if he had actually been in class, we mightve done the project together! I don't get it-what is this guys problem? I barely know him and he was such a jerk! He kept going back and forth with rude texts until i finally put a stop to it!

Thanks everyone, you're a big help!
