    Post Bac Looking to become a Nurse

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kite23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going from law into nursing is a huge change may I ask why you want to do it? Have you researched nursing and understand what all it entails? The reason I ask is because there are tons of people who...

    What was your GPA?

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

    When you asked this question about a month ago you were given some pretty good answers then. Your GPA and SAT scores will matter when applying to colleges for general admission. Not so much when you...

    GPA less than 3.0?

    NurseGirl525 replied to pdc8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are online accelerated programs but you will have to do your own clinicals. You can't do a complete nursing program online. I would see what you need to retake and do that first. Online...

    Anyone taking summer classes?

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

    Does your school offer free tutoring? I would take advantage of it. I am taking intermediate algebra now. It's not that different from introductory. I will be taking college algebra over the...

    Can i still apply

    NurseGirl525 replied to slicric09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They will look at everything probably. You need to find out from an advisor. You need at least a 2.5 to apply at my school and they want your transcripts from any school you have ever

    Can i still apply

    NurseGirl525 replied to slicric09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whether you apply at the community college or the 4 year college they will want your records from the other. So you are going to have some issues there. You really need to bring up your grades to an...

    question about insurance

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

    That is very true. I know of many hospitals that won't accept ACA. That will be my downfall if I have to get it. I have been on disability for a few years and am on Medicare. I have a Medicare Gap...

    ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

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

    I have to agree I would rather take tests that write papers. And I am actually pretty good at writing papers and doing research. Part of it is that it is so time consuming. I have so much going on...

    NurseGirl525 replied to RN-BSN911's topic in School, College Programs

    Will I ever become a nurse?

    NurseGirl525 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I cannot believe that schools have a 4 year waitlist and they expect people to wait. That is crazy. I'm guessing you are in CA. I would apply to some other schools and apply to several schools for...

    question about insurance

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

    You do realize that if you don't have health insurance you are going to pay a huge penalty at tax time? Just throwing that out there. $100 a month is much cheaper than the $1600 a person you will...

    Your Interview Outfits

    NurseGirl525 replied to RonnieDita's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I always wear some kind of suit. Usually navy blue but I have been known to sport an off white or black every now and then. I have never been turned down for a job which why I guess I usually stick...

    Help, any advice? Might fail a class twice.

    NurseGirl525 replied to tara1245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking Intermmediate Algebra right now and it is a 0 level class so it does not count towards our GPA. You have to successfully complete it with a C or better to move on to College Algebra but...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'm not even a nurse yet and I ask these three questions: Are you bleeding, Do you have all of your body parts, or is someone dead? Because if none of those things are occurring I don't want to hear...

    Tattoos and unique shoes?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Blur2713's topic in General Nursing

    Many places may have problems with tats because not that long ago the only people who had them were criminals. Back in the 80s and 90s if you saw someone with a tattoo it meant they were in a biker...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless it was an AP chemistry class it won't count towards college credit. Also when you test out of something that generally means you already have taken the class in college or have some kind of...

    Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    NurseGirl525 replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would eventually like to be in Pediatric Oncology. I don't think I could handle NICU. Trying to put needles in those tiny babies? I would be a nervous wreck. I will probably start up here like...
