    WebAdvisor is the place you go to check financial aid, GPA, schedule/view classes. You have to go to the applicant menu and click on application status. It said accepted for a classmate of mine. My...

    People are starting to hear y'all. Someone in my class had her status changed in

    AspiringNurseMW replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too. I only have applied to an ADN program because I do not want to take out any more loans until it's time for my masters, eventually. My thing is that I think my school is in the process of...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There has to be something to that. I have someone in my Micro class that is in the nursing program now and she got in with a 3.5 and a 110/120 PAX. There is something major missing or wrong if those...

    Idk. My back up plans are to suck it up and go to Wilkes or maybe get my respiratory tech associates since the Pre reqs are basically the same and the application deadline is

  6. Luzerne County Community College, Pennsylvania

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what I don't understand. On one hand I hear how hard it is, but everyone that I've heard that has gotten accepted has a GPAs no higher than 3.5 and PAX scores no higher than 130. What I want...

  7. Want To start A Petition-Any advice?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to BettyUK's topic in General Nursing

    Betty UK. Just stop. You don't even know what you are talking about and no one understand why you've taken issue with this one thing. Do you live in the US? Are you a nurse? Do you practice here? Are...

  8. Want To start A Petition-Any advice?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to BettyUK's topic in General Nursing

    Not going to happen. A petition needs to be more specific. I've seen petitions on change.org in regards to having gas and air available at a SPECIFIC hospital. To get a maternity policy changed...

  9. Ethical question-WWYD?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait for 911, when I took a safety and first aid class as an elective, it was stressed never to give medications to someone other than who it's prescribed to. Was 911/ems still on the line at...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate all these rumors and stories!!! I wish their process was more transparent, I wish they would tell us the rate of acceptance. I mean if they prefer people have all of most of the prerequisites...

  11. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK wow. I was just eating popcorn but now I'm jumping in. It would COMPLETELY be YOUR FAULT if a child died because YOU chose not to vaccinate your kids. Simply because if you had vaccinated, then...

  12. Luzerne County Community College, Pennsylvania

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Mal88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sucks. I doubt they would take into account classes registered then. At the moment I am taking 4 of the prerequisites, I would only have 2 left by the time I finished the semester. I was hoping...

  13. What specialty/job would this be?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to catelynjo16's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Instead of a doula perhaps you can look into becoming a Childbirth Educator and/or a breastfeeding counselor. Or there is also specific training for being a post - partum doula. Any of those 3 options...

  14. So bummed!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to nurse2bithink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you completed all the non nursing general ed classes above and beyond the pre reqs? Perhaps that is something to do so that if you end up waiting a year you won't feel like it's wasted. Or...

  15. This whole PAX Thing is Freaking Me OUT!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to leeymarina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quite honestly the math was quite easy, at least it was on the PAX-RN. Doesnt require anything past highschool math. It was multiplication, divisions, a lot of conversions of fractions and decimals....

  16. PAX ENTRANCE EXAM!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to shanfutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The PAX review guide was great for the math and science. English is reading comprehension and vocab. What I found most stressful was the science because it can cover bio, chemistry, physics, A&P....

  17. Hours of Sleep

    AspiringNurseMW replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends. Anywhere from 5 to 8. I get really tired around 830/9. But with two kids, full time school, and part time work I usually end up pushing through that to study or clean. But when I miss that...

  18. ADN vs BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to extex77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you looking at Frontier? Your reasoning sounds almost exactly like mine since Frontier requires a year, so I'll hopefully be getting my ADN and work the one year while I work the RN to BSN

  19. ADN vs BSN

    AspiringNurseMW replied to extex77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the where you live. Look on the websites of the hospitals near you. How many nursing positions, especially new graduated from positions, are there. Do most of them require a BSN? How...

  20. Your Opinion

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Oriolesgal119's topic in General Nursing

    Have you done your L&D rotation yet? If you did what did it feel like for you? Totally a personal decision. Do you plan on attempting on trying for children using other

    AspiringNurseMW replied to sunshinesusu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Totally! I joke that the reason I Co sleep is mainly out of selfishness and laziness. You want me to GET UP to feed you multiple times in the middle of the night. So not happening. I love love love...

  24. Confused about ADN programs...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to trebleclefmama's topic in General Nursing

    No. You have to finish the general ed classes required to GET the ASN in order to qualify for the RN to BSN. There will still likely be even more general ed classes to complete anyway, like history,...

  25. Need help/advice on acceptance and GPA, totally in panic mode!!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to rrkaran92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If there is nothing you can do, then there is nothing you can do but wait and make plans for the coming year in case you do not get accepted. Perhaps you can take a CNA class and work as a CNA while...
