  1. Immunizations for NS

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

    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 and I was waiting for my acceptance letter (we were ...
  3. I had to take two separate courses for my BSN program: inorganic and organic. The biochem class only counted toward the ADN in my area.
  4. Prerequisite advice please!

    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 12-13 credit hours to be a nice balance between c...
  5. 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 even more loans with the ABSN. You'll basically be...
  6. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

    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 accept anyone as long as your overal GPA is somethin...
  7. Just started A&P1

    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 weeks, but I soon acclimated to the class and star...
  8. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

    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 example, our last test focused on the Krebs cycle....
  9. 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 was scoping out the bookstore and looked through ...
  10. 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 them to hold true to their word. Three weeks came and...
  11. What made you decide to go for ASN or BSN?

    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 ADN. Also, while most people need more pre-req cou...
  12. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on your journey as well :).
  13. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    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 realize that you wanted to go into this sooner. Just...
  14. Cleveland State nursing? or stick with Tri-C?

    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, though. Basically, Tri-C will have to pay extra money a...
  15. 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 school, and even college I was lucky to get a C in math...
