  1. Has Anyone Taken Statistics

    Lexicon replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Statistics was really easy, in my opinion. I took it with 6 other classes at 16 credits and I got an A in the class. I was also fortunate enough to have a really good professor (he wrote the textbook...

  2. Going beyond BSN?

    Lexicon replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going start my ABSN in Fall 2014 and then after I graduate, I am going to work in whatever department I need to based on what specialty I decide to pursue and will either aim for a DNP or a...

  3. Who else is waiting for Fall 2014 acceptance?

    Lexicon replied to nwayne1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting to hear from my top choice... At the earliest I hear back in early February. I just want to know now! If I don't get in, I'm probably going to be screwed finding housing for my back up...

  4. Direct entry NP programs

    Lexicon replied to Aurelia2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ;-; Sorry! Like I said earlier, I'm still essentially a kid, so I don't really think about retirement unless it's in regards to my mother. I hope I didn't offend you or

  5. Direct entry NP programs

    Lexicon replied to Aurelia2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm.. I didn't know that. I just know it's what I've been told. -shrug- I guess I really wasn't reading when I looked up info on that either.. That's okay though. I'm still going to do it even if I...

  6. Direct entry NP programs

    Lexicon replied to Aurelia2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure you already know, but depending on what you do, you may have some 70 hour work weeks and not get paid overtime for it. I'm not sure what kind of NP you want to be, but regardless, if you...

  7. Reevaluating my plan

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

    I don't know how my school bases acceptance to program on but I wish that was what it was. I don't have to take the TEAs but it sounds like it's just a baby version of the SAT and if the math and...

  8. Direct entry NP programs

    Lexicon replied to Aurelia2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't want to discourage you, but if you want to get your MD, get it. It's never too late. I know physicians who didn't get their MD until their late 30s, 40s, or 50s! My mom got her MD when she was...

  9. 2nd Degree BSN

    Lexicon replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been accepted to one ABSN program so far (Drexel) and I just graduated with my 1st bachelors from the school I want to attend. I repeated BIO 101 and a piano class and I think in my entire 3.5...

  10. Undergrad looking into Accelerated Nursing Programs

    Lexicon replied to o.sayed93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like Miiki stated, you need to be graduated by the time the nursing program starts. I'm not sure what year you are in college, but if you're a sophomore, you should consider apply right now instead of...

  11. How many Cs did you have on your college transcript?

    Lexicon replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For pre-reqs I got all As and one B, but for my actual undergraduate degree (I'm doing the accelerated BSN), I got multiple Cs (maybe 4 or 5)-- I graduated with a 3.617 so it must not have been many....

  12. Drexel Ace Fall 2014

    Lexicon replied to JerseyGirl87's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    So what is everyone doing over the holiday break?

  13. I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!

    Lexicon replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    I agree! It's been very comforting to converse with other prospective nursing students and read about everyone's stories and to be able to vent about problems others can relate to. xD I'm so happy I...

  14. Entry level hospital jobs???

    Lexicon replied to sunshine&shots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I currently work as a scribe in the ED and you don't need any experience for that. They just asked for a resume and cover letter and then if they saw you as a good candidate, would call you in for an...

  15. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    Lexicon replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My grades are nothing special compared to majority of the people in this post, but I did my 3 remaining pre-reqs in one semester and graduated early (last week) with a B.A in Music, so I guess I...

  16. Spring 2014

    Lexicon replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Technically, I can already move into that forum, but I am waiting to hear from one school in February (which is the one I want to go to). I will however be taking nutrition and hopefully the preceptor...

  17. Freaking out about GPA!! Help

    Lexicon replied to P1753's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've read on other posts, most people say they care mostly about the nursing

  18. Personal Essay Help

    Lexicon replied to stephaniesoto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, you had one spelling error-- it's breathe, not breath. And I think you may need commas in some places, and some sentences might be fragments (I say might because I'm not an English scholar, but...

  19. Personal Essay Help

    Lexicon replied to stephaniesoto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No offense, but I'm not entirely sure why you are asking fellow prospective students to help you with your essay instead of a resource at school (we had a writing center and a career center where...

  20. VCU ABSN Summer 2014 Hopefuls!

    Lexicon replied to alliegem's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Of course! And I wish I got an A in micro. Just an A on that test. Lol. I am "enjoying" my break, though I mean... it's not really a break because even though I'll be taking 2 classes (if I get the...

  21. Greetings! New To Nursing - Some Advice?

    Lexicon replied to mmiranda25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't want to overwhelm you, but you will have to retake anatomy and physiology as well because most nursing schools don't take grades if it's been over 5 years since you took the class. :/ I think...

  22. What do you want for Christmas?

    Lexicon replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I want to get a toned abdomen and to get accepted into the acclerated BSN program for May

  23. VCU ABSN Summer 2014 Hopefuls!

    Lexicon replied to alliegem's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Phiiiiish! Are you caucasian and have glasses and brown hair? LOL. Did you get a recommendation from Strauss? If so, I am the black chick that always whined to you about micro that told you she hoped...

  24. Drexel Ace Fall 2014

    Lexicon replied to JerseyGirl87's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, considering how expensive medical school is, and the fact that most prospective med students apply to 10-18 schools, I think us paying $500 for a private school is nbd. And I think the fact that...

  25. VCU ABSN Summer 2014 Hopefuls!

    Lexicon replied to alliegem's topic in Virginia Nursing

    @Allie- I actually sent it 20 minutes
