    Becoming a CNA before starting school.

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @verene Fortunately my program was completely free! All we had to pay for was our scrubs and parking. I thanked myself for taking the class every day after starting the program because it gave me so...

    Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte

    bear94 replied to taylorkathleen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This isn't the school I am going to. I am actually going to a school in Illinois, but I have experience with the whole TEAS test and application process. I left my pre reqs with a 3.9 GPA and a 4.0...

    What should I do while waiting?

    bear94 replied to nursing212's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above poster. As someone that was on a nerve-racking wait list for a few months, I can say that there are a lot of people that would have loved to have your place in the school that...

    Is nursing school worth it?

    bear94 replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am from Illinois and I haven't exactly figured out what I want to do as far as graduate work goes, but Maryville's MS FNP program is completely online and their on-campus retention rate was 98% so I...

    Will a CNA make me a more competitive applicant?

    bear94 replied to pickles123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to nursing school for my BSN RN this fall... I didn't get the call that I was accepted until May (5 months later than everyone else because they didn't have room for me at first.) I was...

    can you apply for nursing school while finishing prereq classes? GCU hopeful

    bear94 replied to J89Mike's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I applied for school, I applied in September of 2013 for the Fall 2014 semester. I had a whole year left of outstanding pre reqs and I still got accepted, also all of the other schools I applied...

    Will my previous exposure to A&P help me?

    bear94 replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it definitely can't hurt! Some background is way better than no background. College A&P is not as hard as everyone tells you it's going to be, just a lot of memorization. (also, you'll notice...

    Microbiology

    bear94 replied to Mdrew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reread all material given to you in class one day before you go to bed the same night and also reread them the next day too. I discovered that typing my notes/definitions into Quizlet and listening to...

    Reasonable Fall schedule?

    bear94 replied to Livetoride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just answered another question like this in a different forum! These questions are hard to answer because they are so relative to each person. To ME, it seems reasonable... But my life circumstances...

    Is this a realistic course load?

    bear94 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took AP I, Statistics, Philosophy, American Government, and Growth and Development all in one semester and received straight A's. I'm not one of those "naturally smart" people either. It's...

    Any A&P II study tips?

    bear94 replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Download quizlet, type in your notes. There's a little button next to all of the definitions you type that allows you to listen to them. Listen to your definitions and or notes in the car or whenever...

    Finally Accepted. Not feeling how I expected...

    bear94 posted a topic in General Students

    Let me tell you a little bit about my journey with applying for nursing school and getting accepted... I applied last September to the only BSN nursing school within 60 miles of me, with my life...

    SEEKING ADVICE: Single Moms - How did you pay for your nursing program?

    bear94 replied to Accelerated BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also from Illinois and I have been in school with a single mother who isn't financially struggling by any means and financial aid pays for all of her schooling because she's a mom... Actually now...

    Already discouraged

    bear94 replied to vpbernal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 3.8 overall GPA and a 4.0 science GPA, BUT a girl from my school with a 2.9 GPA initially got in over me because of her TEAS score. I had a 68 and she had an 80. I got wait listed in December...

    How hard is basic anatomy and pysiology

    bear94 replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't ever let other students psych you out and tell you a class is hard (I made that mistake one too many times, wasted a lot of time stressed out over the opinion of others that didn't even pan out...

    WOW!!! Wrong notification from Wayne State University.

    bear94 replied to I'm_no_Genius_but's topic in School, College Programs

    The "acceptance wait" is horrible, and I completely understand the stupid little teases like that. Long story short, given my circumstances I pretty much only had one option for a BSN school, they...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    Thank you for sympathizing with my feeling @Ruray. Text can give off a whole different tone... I wasn't trying to be as insensitive as it appeared in my post, but unpunctual people are seriously my...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I am completely understanding and sympathetic when there's a reasonable excuse, but at the moment I don't know that there is one other than she has more important priorities. I would think that my...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    You guys are all so kind. You seriously have no idea how much all of this has relieved me! After a couple of days, the shock has kind of worn off and I am starting to get a little excited. At first it...

    bear94 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I really try not to buy into the stories because everyone told me college was going to be this huge, stressful ordeal too, but it wasn't at all. I try my best not to listen to everyone that says, "oh...
