    amandacam replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    amandacam replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

  10. Can I still get into nursing school with an F on my transcript?

    amandacam replied to AsherBashers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    amandacam replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With academics, sometimes it's all about finding the best way for you to learn. If nursing is what you want, you shouldn't give up. Just make some changes. I used to be the worst at math. When I...

    amandacam replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be who you are and start studying if you want to. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be ahead of the game! I took an A&P class that didn't include a lab when I couldn't get into the A&P...

    amandacam replied to Zweiells's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had a question about the first semester labs. Do you guys use all the lab time or are they more like A&P labs where you do the work and can leave when you finish? They're 2 hours and 50 minutes...

    What about scrubs? Like the style and exact colors? I have family members who want to buy me scrubs for Christmas and I'd love to get a head start, too. And is there any requirement for stethoscopes?...
