I go through several packs of sticky notes and sticky tabs. The sticky tabs help me organize which chapters to read or important pages to remember. Also, a great planner will come in handy if you don't already have one.

My Chemistry professor was lousy when it came to helping his students so we found the YouTube channel of Tyler DeWitt's. Without Tyler I would have been retaking the class. If there was ever anything that I couldn't find on Tyler's channel I used Che...

As for CU, yes 50k is a lot, but have you looked into their scholarships? If you transfer into their program with an associates you will get a scholarship of $3400/semester, $1700 for attending the nursing program, plus if you get any pell grants. My...

For chemistry, goddess9 gave great advice on significant numbers and rounding. I would like to also add that being familiar with the periodic table will be to your advantage. My class was given the periodic table so we didn't have to memorize it, bu...

@prettytay, yes they do accept students who repeat classes. There was a girl in my previous chemistry class that made a C and knew she wouldn't get in with that grade so she repeated the class and made a B. She was accepted and starts this fall.

I actually posted on an older post that you had commented on before coming across this one. Thanks for all the info. It answered many questions I had. When you say that you had clinicals at a nursing home for 3-4 days, were those days during the week...

SoutherPsy, I would certainly love to hear from you on the Mt. Juliet program that CU provides. The Mt. Juliet site for CU is the only midstate program to offer the nights and weekend program which is the only way I am able to complete my BSN since I...

I was in the exact same boat as you. I finshed classes at a CC for prereqs and then transferred into a nursing program at a university. It can be done. Good luck!

First off cograts!!! Just wondering, is this an elementary stats, behavioral stats, or some other type of stats? I am currently at a community college where my requirement says I must take elementary stats, however, the university I will be transfer...

When I do homework, quizzes, or before a test I always listen to Christmas music. Only my husband knows this because I am so embarrassed by it, but something about the music calms my nerves and helps me focus. I also wear sweat pants and a hoodie and...

Oh how I wish you could take my office job (that has nothing to do with nursing) and I would take your tech job. I would love to have the experience before I enter the nursing program. To answer your question, I don't think they would rehire you aft...

I currently attend a community college and will be transfering out next fall to a private university to complete my BSN. I have only attended this cc and find that nearly all of my teachers a.) don't care about how much their students are learning an...

Thank you for all of your advice/input. I did speak with a high school friend who graduated the nursing program from the same univserity, Cumberland University in TN, and she said all of her professors were pretty tough, but they did more than just t...

I am not sure which part of TN you live in, I live about 20-30 minutes from Nashville, but you could look into Vol State or Motlow. I attend Vol State for pre reqs for BSN but have looked into their ADN program and don't recall seeing "two strikes y...

The school I will be attending does not require an ACT if you are over the age of 25 and requires the Kaplan nursing entrance exam. Good Luck!!

I work front desk at urgent care clinic and we have all the physicians NPI #'s in a book that we keep up front. The doctors will write the NPI number on the script if they have time or remember. If not we can write it or if the pharmacist calls we ju...

I am still completing my pre reqs but I love to hear that you had to do some major damage control and then ended up making the deans list! How awesome! I dug myself into a deep hole and I am doing everything possible to get out of it. All A's so far ...

I have 2 children, 5 and 3, and I am almost finished with my pre reqs for BSN. My husband works 13 days straight 12 hour night shifts with one day off, so he isn't around as much to help and I work full time Monday-Friday and cater Friday-Saturday ni...

So my chemistry class begins Wednesday. Any tips on what to study most on? What helped you get through it? I took chemistry in high school but don't remember any of it. Thanks in advance.

Hello. So, I started college four years ago and totally ruined it! By ruin I mean fail 4 classes in one semester. I quit school, had a little one and tried school again, and failed. I thought i couldn't do it. Well another child later and I'm back ...

I asked my advisor this exact question. Here in Tennessee more hospitals are requiring a degree and even let go and stopped hiring LPN's all together. Vanderbilt advised their current RN's to get the degree and are paying 80% for them. I would love t...

I had a two hour meeting with my advisor and he pretty much told me i can retake the classes but he don't know if the old grade will come off or not.

Wow. I wish my mom would read this! She is 42 and talks about wanting to join me in nursing school. I wish you nothing but the best! ! I took English and remedial math and aced them. I'm no smarty pants i just studied. It is doable. Ask for hel...

So my note taking skills are unique ways I remember. I write in my books with colored pens, anywhere i can fit it. Some may say this is sloppy but for some reason when it is wrote sideways in Orange I see the picture in my head. I love binders and...

After meeting with my advisor this past week he told me the differences in 2yr and 4yr. In Tennessee, the best and biggest hospitals have stopped hiring nurses without a BSN. If an employer is deciding between a nurse with an associates or a bachel...
