  1. MSN-NP or PA?

    HelloWish replied to ryonel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to go the MSN route, you will need to become an RN first. That may sway your choices a bit! It may take longer to become an RN, then get your MSN to NP - you are looking at 5-6 years....

  2. Advice on selling books online

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

    I just sold my Dev Psych book to Amazon and got a good price. I also sold my microbiology book on ebay and got a great price

  3. WGU Texas (Dallas) PreLis. BSN May 2014 Entry

    HelloWish replied to anixon's topic in Western Governors University

    One important thing that I think isn't understood about WGU is that you have to apply with all the above completed and enter into a pre-nursing program. After 6 months of paying to go to school at...

  4. What do we learn in Micro?

    HelloWish replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to what others mentioned prokaryotic, eukaryotic cell structure, metabolism and

  5. Note Taking??

    HelloWish replied to amanda1102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't take notes in micro. I only wrote down specific info which our instructor said to know. I found that knowing the professors teaching style helps. Once you figure out what they expect you to...

  6. NCTC ADN Spring 2014

    HelloWish replied to jls0459's topic in Texas Nursing

    What math book do you all use in class? Or do you have a book you can recommend to help me brush up on the math skills I need for nursing school. I am going over Kaplan's nursing math

  7. Can I take Chemisty and Nutrition together ? HELP

    HelloWish replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nutrition has a lot of chemistry in it, so those two classes would pair

  8. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    HelloWish replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    This thread has been so helpful to read. I am not in nursing school yet, but hope to apply for next fall! Thanks for the advice

  9. NCTC ADN Spring 2014

    HelloWish replied to jls0459's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am getting ready to finish my last pre-req next semester! I am excited to apply for the Fall, 2014 ADN program. Next semester while I take my final pre-req, I am planning to study for the Kaplan....

  10. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    HelloWish replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    OP - This says way more about your instructor and her personal inadequacy than it does about you. That she has no sense of social etiquette and doesn't seem to know how to communicate appropriately to...

  11. 4 yr old child and 2 science class's plus ASL and a coop

    HelloWish replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always bet against taking two science courses together, unless all you do is study. They are important classes! I agree with taking chem first. Anatomy is a complete shock - so I wouldn't do chem...

  12. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    HelloWish replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    For those who took the Kaplan entrance exam, was there a calculator available?

  13. How likely do you think I am of getting in? Advice to offer?

    HelloWish replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many universities give a boost in GPA or priority points if you take a certain amount of credit hours with the university/college where you plan to nursing school. Have you looked into that? Also,...

  14. Buying New books from Amazon?

    HelloWish replied to emde's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have bought all my college books through Amazon, but I am not in nursing school yet. Agreed with above poster, just check that you have the correct ISBN,

  15. If you have kids, when do you study?

    HelloWish replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally think co-sleeping is an awesome option. If you are gone from your child a lot during the week working and with school, then it may just be that he/she needs that time with you and needs...

  16. Nursing to Med School

    HelloWish replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This doesn't sound like the best route to take. I would either go to med school or PA school or nursing and then become a nurse

  17. Different types of nursing - research & epidemiology

    HelloWish posted a topic in General Students

    I am not in nursing school yet but hope to be next year. I know I will need to work acute care to begin my nursing career in order gain some experience or just find whatever job I can. I will be 40...

  18. 8 week classes

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

    I took accelerated, 8 week classes for 1 semester. I really feel like I just rushed through the classes and didn't retain much - I took biology, A&P I and sociology. I made all A's, but now I feel...

  19. Taking Pre-Reqs Question

    HelloWish replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think taking chemistry as one of your first courses along with a bio would be a good combo. All your upper level sciences use quite a bit of basic

  20. 3 Science classes, will it be too much?

    HelloWish replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are 3 important classes that will carry forward through out your education. They aren't classes, that I feel should be crammed in just to pass and then not retain. They will all be helpful going...

  21. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    HelloWish replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    If you go to this link, NCTC - Associate Degree Nursing Program, and scroll to the very bottom of the page you will find a list of courses that meet those

  22. Do my last semester of pre-reqs matter since I'll get a decision after the fact?

    HelloWish replied to wellthen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think those grades will come back to haunt you if you don't try your hardest to get at least a B. You are taking 2 heavy duty classes together, but the grades matter as well as the content of these...

  23. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    HelloWish replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you, that does help! I wonder who they consider the farthest away - I will have a 45 min commute. It sounds like I could possibly get by without childcare. I heard from a previous student that...

  24. Picking the right school to get hired in the future

    HelloWish replied to Dressagern's topic in General Students

    I chose an ADN program that has clinical locations in my local area so I that I can network but also find out which hospitals I like best. I figured it is a foot in the door where I can hopefully work...

  25. What's the best math to take to refresh for math in TEAS?

    HelloWish replied to hope_is_w_feathers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about a class, but I bought Davis's Basic Math Review for Nurses. This is great for working through the basics and then working through the TEAVs study guide.
