    I have no idea. You would have to contact your program coordinator at the school you applied

    Ask me anything!

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

    I think the hype depends on what kind of student you are. Do you get understand material the first time, or do you have to study? Do you have a proven method of studying, or do you just kinda do...

    Feeling Sad...

    missmollie replied to Theor23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I will tell you that it took me 14 years after I had a major in what I thought I wanted, and it's still worth it. Remember, an education, no matter what it is in, has value. You will be able...

    Ask me anything!

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

    I had a 3.5 from my previous major, and a 4.0 from prerequisites when I applied. We didn't take the HESI A2, but rather the NLN, and on that I had a 94%. My advice is to really do well in A&P,...

    Ask me anything!

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

    Everything you need for nursing you already have. Tangible items include text books, good friends, a decent stethoscope, and a really good alarm clock. Give me some specifics, what kind of things...

    Hi cjcaet! I have a six year old boy. He's in first grade, and he makes grades a competition. Son: "You only got a 94 on your test, that's okay. if you study harder you can get a 100 like me."...

    Ask me anything!

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

    I never read the book before lecture, preferring to use the book to supplement what was covered in the power point notes after the fact. I did take notes on both the book and power points. I have...

    Can one skip lower Bio and successfully take Bio 201 (A/P)

    missmollie replied to Starreacher26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Bio 101 class way back in the day. I signed up (12 years later) to take A&P and passed it with flying colors. I think it depends on your school, their requirements, and the effort you put...

    Ask me anything!

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

    You remember that very first chapter in A&P when they covered what each system did, and you thought it was a lot of information? Then you got into the actual body systems and discovered how...

    Every time an IV has been started, I have had to step out of the room. I am a lot like you, I hate needles, and I don't want to see when it is being done. However, we were taught to give shots this...

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

    Hi Bluesky, Nursing school is harder than I thought it would be, based on the amount of material there is to learn. Thinking critically, I don't know. I feel that every test question is subjective,...

    Ask me anything!

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

    Hi Martina, Nursing school is difficult, but it's not THAT difficult. Find a way that works for you to study, and stick to it, while adding some question banks. Remember, you're not learning this...

    Ask me anything!

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

    Hi Purplelover: After my first clinical, I couldn't believe I was allowed in a patient's room to assess a patient with an 8 page sheet. I learned a lot, but most of all was taking that first step in...

    I can't be excited

    missmollie replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in General Students

    You rocked the semester and deserve some kudos! Don't be afraid to tell others who aren't in the nursing program with you: Tell your significant other, your family, and definitely post it here....

    Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    missmollie replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is what you make it, and you don't have to give up everything to make it. You do have to shift your priorities, but I also have a supportive husband and a child, although I am...

    Fundamentals HESI

    missmollie replied to Kuriin's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I too just took mine today. Had a 96.23%. I don't really think that any amount of studying would help, and absolutely nothing I studied or NCLEX questions I did were on the test. The only advice I...

    What is like in nursing school? Lecture styles, clinical, and exam style?

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

    Nursing school is all together a different beast, and I don't think it's because of how the tests are. I think it has to do with the fact that you learn, you apply, and then the next week you learn...

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    missmollie replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Isn't your final test in a few days? How is changing how you study right before your final going to help? Also, advice has been given throughout the thread. There is no need to reiterate

    missmollie replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    EmilyEmily, When I was in college as a 18-22 year old, I did not apply myself. I had neither the maturity or the discipline to do so. I wanted to go out and have a good time. I wanted to be free...
