  1. Hearing impaired nurse?

    claritasd replied to Aaic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I've seen a post from someone on here who is Deaf, and that person was a nurse. It's totally doable. You just need to speak up for the accommodations you might need, like the previous posters...

  2. Crohn's and other health problems and getting into school

    claritasd replied to HopefulStudentRN2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless something actually impacts your ability to do your job (or study, in this case), I don't see why it's any of their business what illnesses you have. Besides, denying you entry because of...

  3. Can I still become a nurse with a disease

    claritasd replied to trew1020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, no reason to worry about that. Having celiac isn't going to affect your ability to work with people, and it's certainly not something contagious for you to spread

  4. If you had the option...

    claritasd replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trip. It sounds like an amazing opportunity and something you're really excited for (not that you're not excited about nursing school...). Once you finish school you COULD go on a trip like that, but...

  5. What to do when you do bad on pre-req assignments

    claritasd replied to MoonlightIdle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If something like that happens (and it has to me!), I tend to take it as a sign I'm not studying properly, kind of like the previous reply says. Tutoring is a great option when you don't understand...

  6. Accelerated BSN- program help

    claritasd replied to jgeagle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did your bachelors include all the nursing prerequisites? Because if you take those and do well, it will bump up your GPA. Here are some schools I found in Georgia that might work: Valdosta requires a...

  7. Georgetown ABSN Spring 2014

    claritasd replied to lolasan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to do some of my prereqs online at MiraCosta but they're being annoying. I'm technically a CA resident but I'm in Jordan right now for Peace Corps, and so MiraCosta says I can't register...

  8. Can an NP be as effective as an MD in the developing world.

    claritasd replied to jdUCLA's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think you should go with whichever one you feel more closely connected to. I don't know if I'm "qualified" to answer, really, but I guess I will anyway. NPs and MDs do different things a lot of the...

  9. Would you travel?

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

    Read it 100 times if you have to, because it's

  10. Georgetown ABSN Spring 2014

    claritasd replied to lolasan's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait to hear if you guys get in and how the program goes. I'm hoping to apply for Spring

  11. Help... Peace corps, ABSN, d-e MSN, or MPH? which one first?

    claritasd replied to awildsoul's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you haven't made a decision yet, there's a Peace Corps Fellows program (scholarships and/or other benefits for returned Peace Corps volunteers) at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing....

  12. Pre-nursing flip-flopper

    claritasd replied to Angel Nelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If nursing is what you want to do, a one-semester difference shouldn't change

  13. "Not too bad" nursing school?

    claritasd replied to halfglassfull's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the tone... sometimes we say "not bad" or "not too bad" to mean "just

  14. Palomar/Mira Costa College pls share your experience :)

    claritasd replied to sinta12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious, too! Are you taking your classes right now there or somewhere else? I've thought about taking some pre-reqs

  15. 5 Healthy Reasons to Drink Coffee - Cartoon Contest Winner

    claritasd replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh man, caffeine rarely affects me. Does that mean I'm gonna crash and burn? haha. I guess I'll stick to my green smoothie

  16. Should I take full time classes as a pre-nursing student?

    claritasd replied to moesie1992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed with previous comments. It's definitely understandable to want to speed up the pre-reqs, but if your learning will suffer from it then it's not going to help you! Definitely make use of...

  17. 2nd time applying for nursing program

    claritasd replied to SavvyNurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear about your cousin, and about having to wait an extra year. But it sounds like you're making the best of having to wait! Definitely take the nutrition classes, but do you have the...

  18. 4.0 Challenge!

    claritasd replied to Technicolourhobo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in. My classes this semester are Environmental Health, Nutrition, and Intro to Logic. But I will probably still be taking classes all of next year, too, not just this semester and the

  19. Where to take online prereqs?

    claritasd replied to Buddy2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think​ Ocean Community College (NJ?) offers all of them online as

  20. Multiple schools for Prereqs

    claritasd replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking them at more than one school, and they only offer A and P as separate classes, not 1 and

  21. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

    claritasd replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely. But as someone previously said, make sure the classes you take are UC/CSU compatible (if you plan to transfer to one of those systems). I've already got a BA, but I'm taking classes online...

  22. Pre Reqs Questions

    claritasd replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My guess from looking at the website is that if you can transfer pre-reqs that you've already done, it will shorten the time, but it's technically still a 4-year degree. However, if they accept your...

  23. BSN VS ABSN

    claritasd replied to pickles123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the time is about the same, I think it just depends on what you want to study. If you still want your bachelor's in your current major, you might as well stay. But if you don't see any reason for...

  24. The competition....

    claritasd replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ... Wait, people think that? But, but... have they ever been in a hospital? Because... just... no. Serious let down is waiting for them.

  25. The competition....

    claritasd replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^Haha, wow. Umm, yes, people can work and take classes at the same time. That poor, misguided girl. Also, to Glycerine82, keep in mind that some people who are able to just do prereqs and not work...
