  1. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also looking into Trident if I don't get accepted into MUSC. As of yesterday I have officially applied to MUSC, so fingers crossed I get good news in March or

  2. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I need one more reference, too! Ahh. The professor I was going to use left my school at some point and is teaching somewhere else. I'm

  3. I'm a highschool dropout with GED starting pre reqs for nursing school very anxious

    SummerWertz replied to iris222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just diagnosed as Bipolar type 2 back in June. It started getting worse the last two years of college to where I wasn't able to attend classes or take care of myself. Everything made so much...

  4. Should I do a resume or CV?

    SummerWertz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying to a program and it gives the option of doing a resume or CV. Since there is no interview and my GPA isn't the best, I was thinking of doing a CV so I could bring focus to my volunteer...

  5. Help! Best route to get a BSN

    SummerWertz replied to mcgannciara10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to tell you all the things that I wish someone would have told me when I was where you are now. When I was in highschool, I too didn't have much help from the guidance department. No one...

  6. I am so frustrated and anxious how do I study physio?

    SummerWertz replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, breathe. If you allow yourself to get anxious you're going to psych yourself out and continue to do poorly. I think you have some good study habits, but maybe they're not working for you....

  7. MUSC Hopeful Fall of 2015.... other ABSN programs?

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to at least apply and see what happens but I do realize that it's probably going to be slim chances. I am trying to get on Trident's wait list as well in case all else falls through. It...

  8. Ever find you like the non-required class better?

    SummerWertz replied to verene's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I think it has to do with it being required. It's not that I didn't like physiology, for example. It's just that I felt punished if I didn't do well in it. If I didn't study, or if I made less...

  9. Afraid of starting nursing Pre reqs

    SummerWertz replied to JPickett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, only all the time. My step mom came out of her first semester of nursing school with three Cs and two Ds. She really had to pull herself up by the bootstraps and eventually she made it through and...

  10. Biology & Anatomy/Physiology

    SummerWertz replied to tahoe02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hated Biology when I took the intro classes two years ago. Came out with C's in both of them. To this day I can't tell you anything about internal cell processes, mitochondria, etc. I made a C in...

  11. Using an MSN to obtain a PHD in Chemistry

    SummerWertz posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi there, I'm only a pre-nursing student currently but I'm pondering about something long term that someone told me would be a possibility. My long term plans is to obtain my BSN and ultimately become...

  12. Wondering if I'm making the right choice...

    SummerWertz posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm an upcoming junior in college. I came into college thinking that I wanted to go to medical school to study as an anesthesiologist. After a semester of med school prerequisites and looking down the...

  13. The student loan bubble is starting to burst

    SummerWertz replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've already decided that if my student loans are overwhelmingly unpayable, I will just move out of the country where I can start over with a degree and new credit. If you go to college to better...

  14. Chemistry has been my hardest prereq!

    SummerWertz replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Love chemistry. Chemistry in HS is what made me decide I want to ultimately get into Anesthesia. I pulled a B- in lecture, but only because I was lazy here and there and didn't study as much as I...

  16. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    SummerWertz replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I currently have a C- in my anatomy course. At my school you take anatomy in one semester and physiology the next semester. My professor only gives two tests the entire semester (no quizzes) and a...

  17. How to handle the stress?

    SummerWertz replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Girl, I feel ya. I'm working on pre-reqs, work part time, volunteer, and just joined a sorority. It's quite a haul. I had to drop down to 12 hours midway through the semester because two classes I was...

  18. Venting (can the nursing field be fun?)

    SummerWertz replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing that at the facility where you work the nurses pretty much pick up the CNA things (assisting with showering, etc) since you said they don't have CNAs and that they stuck you with...

  19. In a bit of a pickle.... needing some advice

    SummerWertz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all. I'm nearly a second semester junior at the College of Charleston. My goal is to try to get into MUSC's accelerated nursing program. I only have 2 prerequisites left, and I plan to study...

  20. Piercings and Nursing

    SummerWertz replied to Wootenn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I used to have surface piercings on my hips. Surface piercings and dermals are highly temperamental. I took mine out after a year because they kept getting ripped and caught on things. I wouldn't...

  21. Please, don't be "that" aide.

    SummerWertz replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've worked as a caregiver (not certified) for a private family for nearly a year now. One of my coworkers has been a caregiver for our patient for about 6 years now, and she is certified. When I...

  22. In a bit of a pickle.... needing some advice

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

    First, thank you for taking the time to reply to my long post. Secondly, I want to make sure I understand what you're saying about this part. So, if I understand correctly, you're saying that if I go...

  23. HELP!!!!

    SummerWertz replied to asanchez21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a junior doing pre-reqs still, and I can safely say that I have finally learned how to study just this semester. In HS, I never really had to study and I made good grades, so I came to college...

  24. Had a doctor give me great advice the other day. Something to think about.

    SummerWertz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The other day I had an Anesthesiologist give me great advice. I told him I was feeling uneasy about choosing to become a CRNA vs. an Anesthesiologist and I was trying to figure it out before next...
