  1. Big Dilemma -__-

    PNW0212 replied to nsyuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sad to hear that your advisor told you to switch majors....if nursing is for you, never give up on that dream. Are there any community colleges in your area that you can also apply to? I say...

  2. Online Prereqs

    PNW0212 replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Online classes are okay, but if they are science courses required in the nursing prerequisites, the admissions committee may not accept it. You can try to just take one or two classes at a time while...

  3. Chances of acceptance

    PNW0212 replied to polarizing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to your counselor at the college. Apply anyway when you're finished with the prerequisites, and if you don't get accepted you know whether or not to retake any science classes. It also depends on...

  4. Advice about the BSN program

    PNW0212 replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A BSN is a total of 4 years of college. In the USA, at least in my area (Seattle), there are "running start" programs where you can attend a community college and take one or two classes while also...

  5. Looking for a specialty

    PNW0212 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, wait until you go through clinicals in nursing school. You will be exposed to all areas in hospitals and nursing/hospice homes. That way, you'll see which area you like best and can decide then...

  6. ADN vs BSN? So confused!

    PNW0212 replied to sugarandspice0527's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An ADN is an associates degree in nursing. A BSN, a bachelors of science in nursing. One is an associates and the other is a bachelors degree. In both degrees, you still end up as an RN and are able...

  7. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    PNW0212 replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    So, do we hear through our Bellevue College email early this week? Is that what you all have been hearing. I am having one big tall glass of wine when all this waiting is done......

  8. assistance in TEAs

    PNW0212 replied to christineee's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I suggest buying the TEAS study manual, it really helps for studying! Without it I probably would have failed the test! It touches up on things such as math strategies that you forget about over...

  9. Is my score good enough?

    PNW0212 replied to Futurenursequana's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would suggest retaking it just to be on the safe side. Why not, right? It is a difficult test, the timing gets me. I panic and run out of time on questions. But maybe get the study guide, study hard...

  10. Anatomy & Phy

    PNW0212 replied to selena76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Skim chapters before class! It will help you! It's okay that you've been out of bio for a while, A&P teaches many new things. Just keep on top of the

  11. New graduates with no clinical skills.

    PNW0212 replied to maracuya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe that many people choose nursing without any experience in patient care just knowing that the nursing field will always be in high demand. But many also have lots of patient care as well. The...

  12. Working part time while in Nursing school

    PNW0212 replied to boragirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How much wiggle room do you have? Are you able to not work while in school? I suggest taking the first semester or quarter off, or just working 1 day a week so that you can get your feel for nursing...

  13. Need some advice

    PNW0212 replied to DaveyN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.8 sounds fantastic! People get into nursing programs with as low as a 3.1! You can do it. What else do they take into account for your community college's nursing program? Do they look at volunteer...

  14. Starting Motlow (Smyrna) May 2014 Pre Requisite I want to know what to expect!

    PNW0212 replied to Relentless_87's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    What state do you come from? I live in WA state and nursing programs are all a bit different. Some look at GPA, general entrance test scores, volunteer work, experience, etc. Some look only at GPA or...

  15. Prereqs Help (Microbio/A&P)

    PNW0212 replied to loverofall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, looking at your schedule, I would suggest cutting back on some. Although 2-3 classes seems really simple, sciences with labs are demanding. It's better to take a longer time finishing...

  16. Pre reqs at community college v/s university

    PNW0212 replied to kwilson251's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the nursing programs in my area (Seattle), it really does not matter where you take the classes, as long as the school is accredited and your credits transfer. Get good grades and as much...

  17. CNA Program

    PNW0212 replied to Hott's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I believe the skills could be taught by either an RN or an LPN. Both know the "drill." Next time you take the skills. Make sure you've practiced a BUNCH! Good

  18. A&P 1, Any Tips or Tricks to get the most out of the course.

    PNW0212 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I never fully read the book, I skimmed areas which I was unsure of. I used mainly class notes and the study sheets. I would print out these "fill in the blank" type of things for anatomy or...

  19. Switched major to nursing?

    PNW0212 replied to missminac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice to you is to do very well in nursing prerequisites! Get your GPA as high as you can with A's in the next couple of years. I also would suggest applying to other schools besides the one you...

  20. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    PNW0212 replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well, the date is approaching.....hoping my 84.0% on the TEAS will get me in to Winter Quarter....this whole waiting game is making me want to pull my hair out. Hope everyone is staying stress-free...

  21. Maybe I'm not meant to be a nurse :(

    PNW0212 replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never give up your dreams, first of all! I suggest getting a hold of an adivisor and asking them about Associate Degree in Nursing programs in your area offered at community colleges. This would give...

  22. Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    PNW0212 replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my understanding, it's almost everyday. With clinicals and class, it's definitely about 4-5 days a week. If I were you I would move, I would hate the commute and it would be so helpful to live...

  23. Can I get into nursing school with a 3.1?

    PNW0212 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all, stressing out lately. I'm applying to the Bellevue College nursing program with a cumulative 3.1 GPA and an 82 on my TEAS, which I think I am going to retake this month. Anyone get in to...

  24. I'm failing Anatomy and Math!

    PNW0212 replied to AnthoScott's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not the end of the world! Keep that head up! NO, it will NOT ruin your chances of getting into school. If you do bad, retake those courses. People retake courses 2-4 times, it's actually quite...

  25. Rutgers Accelerated BSN Program

    PNW0212 replied to nursehopeful13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate when schools change requirements like that on you! But that is the way it is. I suggest calling the admissions program and asking them about it, they will know how to answer your question...
