Hi guys! I applied to a school and found out that chemistry is not a pre req for their nursing program and you don't have to take it at all. Is that normal?

Hi bridgetteRN! I'm starting at the Addison campus this fall and was wondering if you could give me some insight and tips for being successful in the program.

Yeah I'm definitely enjoying my summer too. This has been the first summer In maybe 2 1/2 years that I'm not taking any summer classes and I'm doing as little as possible with my summer. All I've been doing is working and relaxing and having so much ...

Hi all! This fall I will be starting an accelerated nursing program at Chamberlain at the Addison campus and to be completely honest, I am SUPER nervous. I think what I'm most nervous about is just how fast paced everything goes and all I keep thinki...

Yeah of course we can keep each other motivated! I'm all for it. And thank you for the congrats! I'm not taking classes now but I'll be starting my program in September! This is my first summer that I don't have any classes to take and I am taking fu...

Hey! I just looked it up. It's the app with the angry emoji with fire in his eyes and a headband? That's what it shows on my phone lol. I'm gonna install it! Thanks for sharing that, I'm just like you. I get so bored studying especially if I'm really...

I don't have any negative views on overweight nurses, we are human. And we all come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. As long as you can be an effective and efficient nurse who genuinely cares about your patients then who gives a hoot. Ya know....

I did my CNA course for the school I was attending because it was required but my clinicals traumatized me because of the floor we were on. We worked on the Alzhemiers/dementia unit and I just felt so sad to see how the staff treated its residents. I...

Hi all, So I'm finishing up my last couple of pre reqs for the nursing program at my school but I just have chemistry left to take and maybe organic chem too. I'm super nervous about chemistry because I'm not that good in math, so I'm taking it in 16...

Hi all! I currently attend college of dupage and I'm almost done with my pre reqs and was considering their 3+1 nursing program with Benedictine. I've been doing a lot of research on their nursing program and I honestly love cod besides the fact the...

Hey guys! I'm taking.. - English comp 2 -Abnormal psych - Math I'm kinda really excited for abnormal psych! Then I'll just have chemistry and stats left then I'm applying to my nursing program

Hi guys! I'll get straight to the point ?. So I got my cna certification last year and after that I haven't been looking for a job because I've been busy and health problems got in the way. Gotta love those health problems:/. Anyways now that I'm in ...

I know that I can't avoid it. But I guess the reason it makes me sad is because I didn't have a good experience during my clinicals. They threw us on the dementia floor without really giving us a heads up on what we were going to be seeing. And I nev...

I've tried everywhere. I realized that I can't avoid dementia patients so I'm fine with that. But I just need a job because I want experience before nursing school starts. Right now I'm nervous just taking a patient vitals, so I need to gain more con...

Ok so I already wrote a post about what I'm getting myself into when taking general chem. And got awesome feedback. Thank you all btw! Now I'm curious about what the labs are like because I now know all science labs are not the same. So what should I...

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

So far microbiology was the hardest for me. Maybe because I took it this summer in 8 weeks and although my teacher was nice, she nit picked EVERYTHING. She wouldn't even give you credit for short answer if you were kind of on the right track with the...

I am a pre nursing student almost done with my pre reqs, 2 more classes to go. However, this past December I had major knee surgery that leaves me in constant pain all the time. So my plans were before I had my surgery was to be fine enough to go bac...

I used to be shy too but I overcame that by taking speech. I'm sure you might have to take it as a pre req. At first it's overwhelming and intimidating but once you get over the initial shyness you will be just fine. After I took my speech class I ha...

I just looked at all my pre reqs for the rest of my nursing courses and there are no signs of chemistry anywhere. I already took A&P at my community college, as for micro and pharmacology chem isn't a pre req. But Im taking micro at my community ...

Hi all! I'm fairly new to becoming a member of AN but I've been a reader for months and finally decided to join. I love this community, it's so helpful and I love the many articles and topics you guys come up with. But I'm in a pickle and I need some...

Yeah, I get mail from both schools all the time! I even went to visit Bradley and its beautiful. I've seen pictures of Quincy's campus and it also looks beautiful and both are small schools. I've been talking to the nursing coordinator at Quincy and ...
