    Can you succeed in BSN programs without Chemisty?

    RNsRWe replied to meganthe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Me, too! My ADN program required it, why would a BSN program not? Did my course in chem give me some special edge in nursing? Not in the least. But at least I don't have to take it again if I...

    RNsRWe replied to lionsfan22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok.....I thought JustBeachyNurse explained it rather well, and rather informatively, but if you want it from another angle, here goes: The "Kaplan lady in the video" gave a general explanation, NOT a...

    NCLEX Passed! 15 May 2015

    RNsRWe replied to Junebug24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! But I do have to LOL a bit here....if simply telling people to stop doing futile, anxiety-provoking things actually MADE them stop....well, there'd be a small fraction of the threads and...

    RNsRWe replied to lionsfan22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You've gotten, I think, answers to everything you asked; at this point there is nothing more to tell you, really. Whatever it is it is. Pay for the Quick Results if they are available in your State...

    CNA requirement after 1st quarter completion?

    RNsRWe replied to katidid114's topic in General Students

    Who pays the tuition isn't relevant at all; Federal funding of your tuition has no bearing on admission or retention decisions by the school. The school requires that every student in their nursing...

    Medical Spanish Certificate?

    RNsRWe replied to kms51292's topic in General Nursing

    When you put on your application that you are bilingual, that is what matters. Putting down that you took a course in Spanish....doesn't matter. If at the end you are comfortable with Spanish, you...

    Vocational nursing-but I have an associates degree!

    RNsRWe replied to ericabrett's topic in General Students

    Difficulty getting into a nursing program in California is a blessing in disguise. You probably won't see it that way, but the reality is if you DO get in, and DO get through it, you LIKELY will not...

    Nerves are normal, and everyone has to contend with them in their own way. Being very well-prepared is probably the best, in my opinion, so you have less to actually BE nervous about! As for...

    Raising GPA

    RNsRWe replied to SCM2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Competition for seats in ADN programs is typically stiffer than BSN programs. You are less likely to get a spot in a CC program, not more likely. It is a preferable route for many because of lower...

    RNsRWe replied to zaned's topic in International Nursing

    NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    RNsRWe replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just a note that I believe there are increasing instances of people getting "the bad pop up" and then finding out that they passed. This happens both when people put in valid CC info (and lose $200)...

    RNsRWe replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Students

    Why don't you ask the school to see what that school's policy is? What one school does for Pomp and Circumstance another may not. Only you can find out the answer to this one....and it's a phone...
