    College questions

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

    I would enter as prenursing. If you do biology as premed you will be taking a lot of credits you don't need, the try to apply to an ABSN program which is costly and will take you longer. Do...

    Have a BS Biology. Best to do ABSN or ADN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Allison514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's strange. We have at least 12 credit hours of just nursing classes each semester. A&P I and II are prereqs. I know each school is different, that just seems strange. And yes, I know...

    School Denied accreditation

    NurseGirl525 replied to studentrn1013's topic in General Students

    Let me guess, a for profit school? To be perfectly honest with you, most hospitals won't hire people from these schools. Especially if they have lost accreditation. They lost it because their NCLEX...

    NurseGirl525 replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    I start a week from Tuesday. Getting everything done that I needed ahead of time has been a pain in the butt, lol. But I have been enjoying every spare moment with my boyfriend because I know it's...

    Have a BS Biology. Best to do ABSN or ADN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Allison514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How would you only be part time? The nursing program should be full time. Most people get the coreqs done ahead of time, as I did but I am still a full time student. Also many ADN programs tell you...

    Help , any ecpi student under 24

    NurseGirl525 replied to yourlexi's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Stay away from this school. Your mother's intuition about this being fishy is correct. There is absolutely no reason to attend a school like this. Go to a community college and get your degree from...

    TEAS V third attempt

    NurseGirl525 replied to samantha.geffre's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you have taken it twice, you should know what is on it. I guess I am confused as to what you are asking. The Teas is not pass/fail, the give scores based on how you perform on it. Do you need a...

    Advice for those with "harsh" instructors.

    NurseGirl525 replied to marvelmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know of people who every semester have a bad instructor. They go to the dean and report this instructor who is awful in their eyes. They spend so much time complaining about instructors which is...

    should i give it a shot

    NurseGirl525 replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see several problems. Your financial aid is going to run out, taking only 2 classes a semester is going to take you forever, if you can only handle two classes on the prereqs how will you handle...

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

    I have no experience in the medical field and I start the program in 2 weeks. Those that are already LPNs and paramedics will not be in the cohort as you. They have different programs for them. You...

    Back To School Supplies :-)

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

    I needed colored pencils a lot for A&P and micro. My teachers had lots of coloring assignments. I also had basic 2 pocket folders for each class, notebooks, a calculator, a backpack, and a flash...

    Should I just give up?

    NurseGirl525 replied to lynnj00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We can't decide for you, you need to do that. Why have you changed your mind so many times in a short period of time? Are you sure you want to be a nurse or is this another "phase"? I think what...

    Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Hawaii this summer. They are hiring nurses over there right now. Lol. I was looking at what would be considered a slum apartment in my area. I was like, I could probably afford this....

    Can i ever become a nurse?

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

    You are going to have to retake it. Psych is an important prereq. At my school, a D is considered failing so you will not get in the program with it. I honestly don't know of any program that...

    I have a horrible gpa, what should I do, how should I study, what college can I get accepted to, the list goes on, most of which could be very easily answered if they Called Their Advisor!

    A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    NurseGirl525 replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I absolutely detest these mommy wars. Why do people feel the need to make themselves feel superior to others? I don't get it at all, I really don't. It's not anyone's business whether you choose to...

    Does it matter where you get your nursing degree from?

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

    Yes, it does matter. A for profit unaccredited college looks very bad and you won't get hired. I would ask around and see what school works closely with your local hospitals and who has a good rep...

    NurseGirl525 replied to xiomara17's topic in General Students

    I won't have a laptop, I have a desktop at home. I also have an iPad. I've never really needed it though. I take notes by hand and then put it into quizlet on my iPad. I write papers at home and...

    Any Advice for a Pre-Nursing Student?

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

    Find out what your program requires and do everything they request. If they look at cumulative GPA have an excellent one. If they look at an entrance exam, do well on that also. The top students...
