    Anyone else terrified you won't get accepted?

    NurseGirl525 replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I was very nervous before I applied. Was very nervous when taking the Teas and worrying that my score wasn't good enough. I haven't heard back yet and won't for a couple of weeks. I have all...

    Finals week

    NurseGirl525 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is everyone prepping for finals? Are you doing anything special to treat and relax yourself before the big week? I had dreams last night that they wouldn't let me take my finals and I flunked out of...

    HELP! In desperate need of guidance!

    NurseGirl525 replied to mandidoodle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you need to see what will transfer to where. Classes like A&P and micro should be taken in person because of the lab component. I am not against taking online courses except for these and...

    Can you take A/P without lab

    NurseGirl525 replied to cardsfan987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not think you can. The lab is part of the lecture grade. They are combined and depending how heavily each is weighted you won't get any credit for the class if you fail either. Like I took...

    Stressing out over grades!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nursingdreamsx0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It honestly depends on the requirements for the program. Those 2 classes are two of the 4 my school looks at. Not getting A's in those would lose you 15 needed points. They are not weighted as...

    My heart is beating so hard

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dreaminofneedles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good Luck!! I still have a couple of weeks to wait. Final grades are not due until Monday so that is when decisions will start to be made. I am a nervous wreck

    Where is the Passion?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In absolutely any career path you choose, you are going to find unhappy people. I have worked in retail, pharmacy, insurance, and the mortgage industry. Every single job I had there was that certain...

    Is Pharmacy Technician worth while?

    NurseGirl525 replied to kekunsman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it will help you. I was a pharmacy tech for a retail chain store and a private company that delivered meds to nursing homes. Not only do you learn a ton about the drugs and people say...

    Stupid classmate tricks

    NurseGirl525 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    We had a girl in our A&P classes who talked endlessly about whatever subject we were lecturing over that week. It drove everyone nuts. She would say is that why they say...and then proceed to go...

    NursingCAS trouble

    NurseGirl525 replied to oldmare's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had never even heard of this company but just looked it up. Looks very shady if you asked me as they haven't updated their website since 2013. I would submit directly to the schools and not waste...

    Triple whammy yay or nay

    NurseGirl525 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych is considered a humanities class. You will write some papers in it. I took micro and A&P II along with 3 other classes last semester and did fine. I did end up with a B in micro because...

    I'm nervous to take the next step

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mandy110609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on what degree you want. Some person from Canada was in here posting the other day that your high school classes count as prereqs so I am not sure what they require in Canada. I know here...

    Community college vs. Sumner College

    NurseGirl525 replied to RachMP05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not do it. Depending on your area and the reputation this school has you may not be able to find a job when you are done. Then your credits won't transfer and you would have to start from...

    Negativity of Others

    NurseGirl525 replied to becalee26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been in a lot of different fields and there is negativity in all of them. Now that's not to say some area aren't impacted, because they are. But I honestly feel that if you do well in school...

    It most certainly does. But even more than that it affects your financial aid. Sometimes a W can be worse than a

    Kent state university pre-nursing advice

    NurseGirl525 replied to ss17587's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of anatomy and physiology called structure and function. I guess you learn something new every day. Is this I or II? You need a fundamental understanding of A&P to do nursing...

    Have bad attitude- RN to BSN programs

    NurseGirl525 replied to anon456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I completely disagree that an associate's degree doesn't mean anything. It surely does to all who have earned and passed the same NCLEX a BSN takes. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with more...

    How Old is "to old" to START a nursing education?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Greenlee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I disagree with all of this. I am 38. In high school I was absolutely horrible at math. Terrible. I took Algebra I twice and pretty much flunked Algebra III and Trig. I have over a 100% in my...

    Med terminology class?

    NurseGirl525 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I took it many moons ago when it was required for medical programs and it was such a huge help to me. I do not regret taking that class at all. One of the best classes I ever

    NurseGirl525 replied to fragilee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say google is your friend in this case. CA is a very impacted state and it will be hard to find one with no wait

    What to do pre-pre-Nursing School?

    NurseGirl525 replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Should I beome a RN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Navygurl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is a very high paced job. Just is. That is a small reason of why I am going into it. You have to understand though a PCT and a RN are two completely different jobs. I know lots of people...

    New here and neep help!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to danielletardio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was also wondering this. If nursing is what you compared with an Emergency Room Doctor, then your goal would be to become an RN first. I would suggest getting your BSN. Then get some experience...
