  1. Worried about my TEAS scores

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

    I agree with the other poster. Thought it depends on how your program does acceptance - I do believe you'll be fine. That's an amazing GPA.

  2. Stuck..AP Related

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

    Thank you! Yeah, today I utilized my class time a little differently. When she spoke about things, and tried to simplify them, I wrote that down instead of the powerpoint. I have access to the...

  3. Do you have to have a 4.0 to get in ?

    Idiosyncratic replied to crunchymama91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your program, the competitiveness, and what they are looking for. For example, here are what my programs require; One of them, the closer one goes by a point value based on GPA....

  4. Will Federal Student Loans/Grants cover my tuition at Chamberlain College?

    Idiosyncratic replied to Dagogirl68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the amount of the tuition. Is Chamberlain kind of like Carrington? If so, there's a chance you'll have some out of pocket expenses even after everything goes through. I know when...

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

    I talked to her on Thursday. She said the last exam is the hardest exam. The average was a 75 on it, and there were 6 people in my bracket(70-79) 9 above me and 10 below me. She told me not to worry...

  8. Have I ruined my chances of getting into nursing school?

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

    The real only issue I could possibly see occurring is if those poor classes were actually pre requisites. If you haven't had issues in actual pre requisite courses, I don't really see how you'll have...

  9. Stuck..AP Related

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

    Well, in Histology it was because I didn't look at the pictures. I totally forgot. However, this time, the only thing that I understood why I got wrong was confusing Meiosis I for Meiosis II. Which...

  10. Stuck..AP Related

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

    Well, the really hard part is that she doesn't test on ANY of the book's materials, it's all what's on her powerpoints. Flash cards was working for me really well, that's how I got the great grade on...

  11. Stuck..AP Related

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

    I noticed that I spend more time making flash cards than I do studying. But I don't know how else to succeed. Obviously, it worked in the beginning, and is now not working anymore. There's just so...

  12. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro with AP1 right now and although it's difficult, it's definitely doable. :) I have a 95 in AP and a 96 in micro. I just delegate my studying time pretty

  13. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have our next exam on Thursday and I am terrified. She is shoving a quiz on Thursday as well since we were "supposed" to do the exam today. Thank goodness we didn't as I haven't had time to really...

  14. Plans for Spring?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know we're halfway through Fall Semester now, and that a lot of us are busy body planners. We have to be, right? What are you planned schedules for Spring? Here's mine: Anatomy and Physiology 2 with...

  15. Have you looked into Career Schools?

    Idiosyncratic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a career school near where I live called Carrington College. Well, they are extremely appealing, but I'm wondering if they are even worth my time. I've almost completed ALL of my pre-reqs so I...

  16. Have you looked into Career Schools?

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

    I tried Carrington, but wasn't accepted since my hesi was too low(88). So I decided to go the traditional route for now. I might dabble in the idea again, but I'm not sure. Oh and it's an RN program....

  17. Microbiology Fall 2013!!!

    Idiosyncratic replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it sad that in glad I'm not the only one losing steam! I have a 96 in Micro and a 94 in AP 1. I study constantly and am just always tired! I've also got 100% in the two part med

  18. Plans for Spring?

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

    Wow, everyone has such hectic schedules! I'll also be applying to the nursing program next Spring, taking my TEAS on the 28th of March. Nervous, but

  19. Midterms?

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

    Just took my first midterm of the week, oh boy. Have my microbiology midterm on Thursday. So far, here are my grades; AP - 94 Micro - 96 As you can tell, my strength is more with Micro,

  20. Staying organized

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

    I use a lot... Like, a lot.. Or at least, it feels like a lot! lol Here are my tools; -Daily planner - has all the due dates, expected study material, and idealized exam days. -Syllabus - daily check...

  21. Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

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

    I think med terminology is very useful. I find anatomy terms a lot easier to wrap my head around with the previous knowledge of the word breakdown. So I say go for

  22. Retained info.

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

    Pretty much what others have said. I've talked to a few nursing students, and they'll tell you that(at least where we are) the integumentary system(burns mostly, and how the skin heals itself), blood...

  23. Taking 20 credits next semester.

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

    I'm going to be taking 16 credits next semester, but two of my classes will be online. I'm not sure how you're school is, but please be careful and conscientious of time

  24. Do you actually study A&P book for exam? or you just refer to it?

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

    Honestly, I don't ever touch my book. My instructor uses her own powerpoints, and that's what she tests on. If I were to try and read the book, I'd hurt myself more than i already have

  25. Any other students who are mothers?

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

    I'm actually really lucky in my situation. I know I posted earlier, but I have a husband who pretty much handles everything. We currently live at my mother's house during school, just because she...
