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

    Harrison College

    NurseGirl525 replied to msitton's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I would not go to Harrison. I went there when it was Indiana Business College. It is very expensive and the classes were a joke. I'm not even sure if their nursing program is accredited or not....

    When Faith Creates False Hope

    NurseGirl525 replied to kabfighter's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    NurseGirl525 replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school the difference between an A and B is 10 points. I have a very good friend who had an A all semester. Then her dad had surgery and died suddenly right before the final. It dropped her...

    Bio (Anatomy) and Chem Together

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

    Getting a MA before a ADN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to jackiei3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. Would you be able to work while going to nursing school? That's a lot to do and will you get paid enough to do it. I would honestly just take out the loans and pay it back. I don't...

    What would you say about these type of grades?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Yardena7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school, what they look at, and how competitive the program is. My program looks at 4 classes and Teas score. A C will not cut it because it is so competitive. You basically have...

    how to apply for fin aid

    NurseGirl525 replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't apply for financial aid until you decide what school you are going to. You will not qualify for any grants but you could get a loan. So apply to the schools and once you get accepted and...
