    A Prereq In Progress When Applying?

    Agree with Memphismom, totally depends on the school. Some schools are absolutely OK if you are still in progress on prerequisites. Some absolutely will not have even one outstanding. And there are...

    Tips for staying healthy in nursing school?

    Yoga helps boost my immune system. It is amazing that when I do yoga regularly (usually about 3 times/week), I don't even remember what sick feels like. But when I get too busy for it, I am likely to...

    Which stethoscope should I buy as a Nursing student?

    Hi there: I am starting my nursing program in Jan and I got a Littmann. This was my thought process: I had one of those cheap ones, but my husband, who is a volunteer EMT, tried using it and said it...

    What are the chances of Alternate Students

    What is an alternate student? Is that the same as waitlisted? If so, I and several other students in our program got in off the waitlist. It really depends on how far dow you are. Can you find out...

    Wait-listed classes?

    Frankly, expecting 18 people to drop is a bit of a stretch. I would look for
  13. I share HouTx concerns, hence, are you hell bound on nursing? Maybe health care administration could offer you a more controllable schedule and less overall stress. If you do really want to be a nurse...

    Personal Statement HELP!

    Hello: I think what the admissions office wants to see is that you are going into nursing because you feel passionate about nursing. If you start with your story it might be perceived, out of context,...

    Can I wear my scrubs to an interview?

    I think you are cutting it dangerously close. Even if you could change to scrubs in the bathroom. What if the interviewer is late due to being held up in another interview or other? What if they...

    Persistence Pays Off for New Grads

    Yes, it would be interesting to know how to break through to those folks. I am only starting my ASBN in Jan, but want to be forearmed. I tried to connect with HR at my local hospital a year ago when...

    Massage courses for nurses

    Thanks, massage heart! I am sure it is worth it. If I had all the time and money, I would go to massage school and nutrition school and so on and so on - my curiosity in healing is endless. Was just...
  18. In what area of the country are you looking? Here in the Northeast, we have CNR (College of New Rochelle) which has an "individualized" accelerated BSN track, where you can continue taking some...

    What is anatomy and physiology like?

    If I were to sum up why it is intense, I would say it is the amount of material as well as a combination of theory and practice (you don't only have to know but also to recognize on slides/models/lab...

    Thank you, Staragate. And where did you find that watch? Wal-mart/Target?

    Overwhelmed..

    illusion: I feel your pain. It is a full load. Why don't you ask these A people how they study, what they do? Many will be more than willing to share. Analyze your exam results. Where do you fall...
