  1. Where to start?: Volunteering

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

    Are you exclusively looking for volunteering in healthcare, or are you just looking for volunteering in general? As far as healthcare goes, hospitals and LTC facilities generally have volunteering...

  2. Chem in the summer or Chem and A&P in fall semester at NCC

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Luli1824's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How many weeks is summer semester at your school, and which chem class are you taking (intro, general, inorganic, organic, etc). Those two things are going to play a role in making a decision. But if...

  3. 25/50 students failing anatomy avc

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

    Yes, at my school the fail rate for anatomy is anywhere between 40 and 50 percent. I've heard this from quite a few other schools too. Anatomy is considered to be one of the "weed out" classes at many...

  4. POST TEAS V SCORES HERE (ivy tech)

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

    Disregard this post. Didn't see the ivy tech part

  5. To Teas or not to Teas

    ThatOneDude822 replied to feeneishia's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Congrats on improving! I was in a similar situation, except my issue wasn't work, it was just that money was tight. So I definitely know that conflicted feeling you were talking about. I also...

  6. I thought bones were hard

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

    I definitely understand this! I took Human Anatomy a couple semesters ago (my school separates anatomy and physiology) and I also thought learning the bones was hard. Then muscles came along and I...

  7. What did you take Anatomy with

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

    In the Fall quarter (10 weeks) I took Anatomy, critical thinking, ethical philosophy, and freshman seminar (required during your first quarter). 17 Q units total. I was able to get straight A's. I...

  8. How long did it take you finish your prerequisites?

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

    It took me one year to complete all 8 prereqs for a BSN. I started this past fall and I'm currently enrolled in Physiology which is my last prereq. My school does quarters, though, so it's easier to...

  9. Need some advice

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

    Wow, does your CC require all of those classes as prereqs for ADN? For most CSU BSN programs, the only other class you would have to pick up as a prereq is critical thinking. I go to a CSU and my...

  10. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

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

    What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I'm currently finishing up English Writing/Research, Micro, and Communications, then next quarter I will take Physiology w. lab, which is my last prereq....

  11. I just printed my completed nursing application...

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...and I feel like I'm going to vomit. The application process is so stressful, and I'm extremely nervous. It's not that I have bad scores (3.9 prereq gpa so far and 84.7 TEAS V, which I'm retaking);...

  12. I just printed my completed nursing application...

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

    My school scientific doesn't use nursingCAS, and from what I've read on here about it, that's a good thing! My school just uploads a pdf application onto their website, and then you just fill out the...

  13. I just printed my completed nursing application...

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

    Good luck to both of you! Wow, my program must send out decisions really late. We don't find out until

  14. male nurse problems..

    ThatOneDude822 replied to 2bnurseDuties's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Am i the only one who doesn't understand why this is called MALE nursing problems? What does your gender have to do with your unwillingness to perform duties that are a part of the job description?...

  15. Transferring to a school near SF?

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

    I'm in California and, quite honestly, the entire state is impacted in nursing. SF and LA areas are going to be the most competitive, even at community colleges. Not to burst your bubble, but of you...

  16. Help interpreting TEAS V practice exam scores?

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I haven't studied at all for the TEAS yet, but I wanted to take a practice exam just to see where I stood. How do the ATI practice tests (in the book, not online) compare to the actual TEAS in terms...

  17. Accepted!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Mthom17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, congrats on the acceptance! I remember how excited I was when I got my first letter of acceptance to start my prereqs! As for your first issue, unless your parents are paying out of pocket...

  18. A&P I by 1st time A&P Teacher?

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

    The same thing is happening to me this coming quarter for Micro. I signed up for this micro class SPECIFICALLY for the professor because I heard he was great at teaching micro, then my university...

  19. GPA not good enough?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to PreNursing16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing you go to a school with an extremely impacted program? Programs with a large amount of applicants generally require near-perfect GPAs. You actually have a pretty good GPA, but you may...

  20. Should I get another loan?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also have a state grant that covers tuition, so I pay about $400 a quarter for student fees, plus my parking permit and books. I don't know of any book grants (esp for WA, since I'm in CA) but I get...

  21. Masters Degree

    ThatOneDude822 replied to doubled27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student who eventually would like to get a Masters (ACNP) as well. From what I've been researching about grad schools, it usually is best to wait 1-2 years at least. A lot of grad...

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

    Thank you, everyone! It's great to see so many others applying for fall entry too. Good luck to all of

  23. First Quarter of prereqs = Complete!

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone! This is just a little update on how my first quarter went (If anyone cares :) ) I have just completed my first quarter of prereqs last Wednesday and I'm so excited! This quarter I was...

  24. How do prerequisites work?

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

    These would be the basic steps for a new high school grad applying to nursing at a NON direct entry school (in other words, a school that does not directly admit hs grads into the nursing program). 1....

  25. Online pre-nursing courses?

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

    Your best bet would be to call around to CCs and ask if they allow HS students to register for certain classes. Most likely they will not let you take some of the harder sciences as a HS student...
