1. Immunizations for NS

   ruby1989 replied to Mandy0728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I was unable to get my records for the Hep B shot (I had it done probably 10 years ago). I got the titer done and the results within two

2. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

   ruby1989 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I remember thinking the same thing. I prepared myself if I didn't make it, but I didn't even know how I would explain it to other people if I didn't get in. Everyone in my chem class knew I applied...

3. What Chemistry class did you guys take for prenursing? I took biochem?

   ruby1989 replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I had to take two separate courses for my BSN program: inorganic and organic. The biochem class only counted toward the ADN in my

4. Prerequisite advice please!

   ruby1989 replied to Sashaaa7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I would take one science course at a time. Since you're just starting out you can safely take one science course and pair it with pre-req courses like English, psychology, math,etc. I've always found...

5. Biology degree then Nursing or Nursing straight away?

   ruby1989 replied to Danni13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   While biology is cool, there really isn't a need for another degree if nursing is what you want to do. A BSN is going to cost money and will probably force you to take out loans. You'll be taking out...

6. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

   ruby1989 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I got accepted into a BSN program for the fall. Had I not gotten in, I would have went the ADN route at my community college. I probably would have started one year later. My community college will...

7. Just started A&P1

   ruby1989 replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I took A & P 1 over the summer in 10 weeks opposed to the normal 16 weeks my college usually does. It was my first science course I took in several years. I was super stressed the first couple of...

8. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

   ruby1989 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm currently taking Micro in an accelerated summer session and I don't find it very difficult. It's possible that it's a lot easier for me because I've already had all the other science classes. For...

9. Stalking the email, the mailbox, the mail truck, the college website

   ruby1989 replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

   Books, books, books! Lucky you! I so badly want to get mine. They're probably at the bookstore, but I have to wait for my loan to kick in before I can purchase them. I remember before I got accepted I...

10. Stalking the email, the mailbox, the mail truck, the college website

    ruby1989 replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    Haha, I felt very similar. I remember after I had my interview for nursing school, they told me that the letter would come in three weeks. I felt like that was a precise number, so I was expecting...

11. What made you decide to go for ASN or BSN?

    ruby1989 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose BSN for several reasons. Most hospitals in my area have went magnet. While the ADN-BSN bridge program seemed like a good idea on paper, I wondered if I would even be able to get a job with an...

12. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    ruby1989 replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on your journey as well

13. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    ruby1989 replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're absolutely right, but for whatever reason I let that woman that confronted me get inside my head. My mom will sometimes say things that I don't appreciated too like, "It's too bad you didn't...

14. Cleveland State nursing? or stick with Tri-C?

    ruby1989 replied to snowy5's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I can't really say I know much about all this non-accreditation thing going on at Tri-C. Most of the pre-nursing students that I know from my pre-req classes didn't seem too concerned about it,...

15. How hard is nursing school for the student who is average or below at math & science?

    ruby1989 replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    I was never a math and science person. Science wasn't too bad because I've always found it pretty interesting, but the math that comes with some sciences scared me. Throughout grade school, high...
