  1. What do you so to relax from nursing school?

    bravera replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in General Students

    I like to hit up to the gym, and, ashamedly, catch up on my Korean dramas!

  2. Are there any GEORGIA pre-nursing students here?!?

    bravera replied to Hopefulganurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I love Mercer. The campus is in a nice, secluded location and the faculty is wonderful. They truly want you to succeed and are willing to assist you in any way that they can. You have the...

  3. Are there any GEORGIA pre-nursing students here?!?

    bravera replied to Hopefulganurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a Georgia BSN nursing student at Mercer university. Looking good, you guys! Keep up the good work :) it's a rough journey, but so worth

  4. Struggle with GPA

    bravera replied to goal001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how it is for your area, but here in the southeast, we are told that a 3.5 will get you in SOMEWHERE. That being said, I was accepted to a BSN program with ~3.7 program GPA and ~3.6 (just...

  5. Please share your GPAs??

    bravera replied to sixela21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was formerly a student at GA State as well. The high expectations at GA state at largely due to the massive amounts of applications the school receives each semester because of it's fairly low...

  6. Anxiety

    bravera replied to green34's topic in General Students

    I found this statement to be especially concerning in relation to your anxiety issue, in addition to the fact that you state that you are a workaholic. A little bit of anxiety is good in life to...

  7. Male Pre-Nursing Student

    bravera replied to emorales2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there, check out the male nursing student board! It may be of some assistance to you. :) Male Nursing

  8. Need some motivation or study tips...

    bravera replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do this! You did well in chem and sociology, so you're going to do well in this as well! The most important thing to know is what your learning style is. If you aren't sure, try this quiz...

  9. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    bravera replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted to a BSN program with a science/program/pre-req GPA of 3.72 and an overall cumulative GPA of

  10. I hate microbiology!!!! :-(

    bravera replied to RNinthemaking15's topic in General Students

    It gets better :) I loved microbiology, so I may be a bit biased, but I found that the rest of my classmates enjoyed the end of the semester much more because that is when we got into the...

  11. What's the best book bag for Nursing School?

    bravera replied to studentnurse92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of textbooks have an e-book version for sale, or the e-book is available when you purchase the book. I tend to just bookmark those or download them to my laptop instead of lugging around the...

  12. Pre-Nursing ADN... where to go from here?

    bravera replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be wary of online programs because they do not always transfer well to other schools, especially if they are science-based. I would go straight for your ADN and then bridge to the BSN like you...

  13. What's the best book bag for Nursing School?

    bravera replied to studentnurse92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use the Puma engineer backpack because it's comfortably padded, has room for my laptop, and has a front pocket for my textbooks and pens, calc, and other supplies. The inside also has little netted...

  14. Gordon State

    bravera replied to Militarywife's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I do not attend Gordon, but one of the pharmacy techs at the hospital I used to volunteer at was accepted on her first try with a 3.5 GPA and a 76 on TEAS. I'm not sure how she did on the critical...

  15. 2013 GPA

    bravera replied to C.Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem! Don't forget that Bs are okay too though :) A 3.3 is a good GPA! Just shoot for As to boost your GPA. My boyfriend actually is currently in the Dallas area (born and raised), and I'm a...

  16. 2013 GPA

    bravera replied to C.Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is very competitive. I live on the east coast, so it may be a bit different in Texas, but here we are told if you don't have at least a 3.5 GPA, you should not consider applying to nursing....

  17. Nursing Books

    bravera replied to Cortney2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that depends on your learning style and studying methods. I usually buy my books new because I like highlighting in my textbooks and am very type A about the condition of my books. If you...

  18. Human Anatomy & Physiology II

    bravera replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, most of the difficulty in A&P II was in the renal system due to fluid exchange/balance, electrolytes, and the physics behind all the filtration, secretion, tubular flow, etc. I know the...

  19. Public's lack of knowledge about what nursing actually is

    bravera replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    This is very common in my area as well. A BSN is entirely unheard of, and when I converse with people about getting into nursing school, they are completely confused because they equate nursing with...

  20. How will I afford nursing school?

    bravera replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there, I'm sure this varies by state, but like the above poster mentioned, credit will not affect Stafford Loans. I also worked full time last year and received a Pell grant after my FAFSA was...

  21. Gaining weight

    bravera replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is pretty common. Stress is related to weight gain. Try picking up exercise 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day. :) You'll burn calories while producing endorphins and other "feel...

  22. Anyone have to take A&P more than once?

    bravera replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not take it twice, but a good percentage of my class was retaking the course because they had all earned Cs or Ds the previous semester, particularly in A&P I. I found A&P II much easier...

  23. Mercer/GBCON Fall 2013

    bravera replied to bravera's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No kidding! You also have the option of buying a stethoscope at orientation and will need to pay $8 for your nametag. I didn't buy a stethoscope through the school, but I believe they were around...

  24. Mercer/GBCON Fall 2013

    bravera posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I know the application period isn't over until 1 May, but I was just wondering if anyone here applied for the upcoming term. :) I sent in my application last week--don't tell me I'm the only one who...

  25. Mercer/GBCON Fall 2013

    bravera replied to bravera's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You will fit for scrubs at orientation. They are provided by Mercer--grey with orange trim and a white coat with the school name embroidered on it. Congrats on getting in! :) Orientation was a little...
