  1. Double major , mostly Bs then As, how are the GPAs views?

    RunBabyRN replied to Yardena7's topic in School, College Programs

    Totally depends on the school. You'd need to look at the specific programs you're interested in and what they look at. That said, overall GPA is REALLY important, as are the grades in your...

  2. Pre-nursing BSN Program Ratings

    RunBabyRN replied to autumnbujtor's topic in School, College Programs

    I haven't heard anything from employers about their preference of college, but when they are familiar with you and your class, that makes a difference. You could always call potential employers and...

  3. Need guidance!!! Where should I go from here?

    RunBabyRN replied to Hildebrandcb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most jobs won't consider LPN experience as actual experience as an RN, because they're different. That's why many new grads will take what they can get for a year or two while they search for...

  4. Advice / guidance / counseling (and any encouragement!)

    RunBabyRN replied to missrosy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any possibility of public transportation? When I took public transportation, it was a great opportunity to study! Talk to the financial aid office at the nearest college. There may be options you...

  5. Pre-Reqs from diff schools, does it look bad?

    RunBabyRN replied to Boston_RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! As long as you get all of your transcripts in, it won't be any different. My courses are from all over the place, since I completed some while in the

  6. How hard is it to become a nurse after starting a family?

    RunBabyRN replied to amirana1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is definitely not flexible. I have a 5 year old, and I miss out on a lot of school stuff for him because of class and clinicals. I can't imagine doing this with an infant, especially...

  7. Please help nursing student lost

    RunBabyRN replied to xokimmy128ox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're going to need to keep getting As in your prerequisites to boost your GPA and be at all competitive in getting into a program. An accelerated program may be really difficult while working,...

  8. losing hope.. any options?

    RunBabyRN replied to cidge3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I was going to say to keep applying to every ADN program you're willing to move for, because they all have lottery systems, and you could do your RN-BSN later. Good luck with your

  9. Decent quality stethoscope and blood pressure kit?

    RunBabyRN replied to simplyblissful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree about Littman stethoscopes- the sound quality is amazing, and they're the only ones that don't hurt my ears. I've been using mine for a good 10 years now. You might even look at Craigslist...

  10. Am I being unrealistic? Is nursing maybe not for me?

    RunBabyRN replied to beckyboo80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finishing up my BSN, and I also hope to get into mother/baby or L&D, as I've known for a good 10+ years that I want to be a midwife. I've enjoyed the other rotations in clinicals, but I...

  11. TEAS TEST SCORES

    RunBabyRN replied to Smk22's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Each school has a different minimum. I know the program I'm in requires a minimum of 75% for you to even apply to the program, but higher counts for something. It might be worth it to study and take...

  12. New to the idea of nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to ayshiiiii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on the course. A class like that shouldn't matter too much if it's online, but stuff like your A&P and chem require a lab portion (which I would assume your did). None of the...

  13. The semester's wrapping up, how did you do? What's next?

    RunBabyRN replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job! Those kinds of things will really help with getting into a program! Personally, I did well, entering my final semester of my program, and CANNOT WAIT to start my preceptorship!

  14. Nursing school effect on life?

    RunBabyRN replied to Moonspellpecado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm entering my final semester of my BSN program. Running has been my sanity during this program, and I've managed to run several races, including Tough Mudder, a marathon, and several half marathons...

  15. "Older" Pre Nursing Student requesting advice!

    RunBabyRN replied to melanietorrey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can afford live-in care, that would be a wonderful route to take. You'll need a lot of time for reading, in addition to clinical time and time for writing papers and reports and such. When...

  16. Studing for the TEAS

    RunBabyRN replied to Jassy.jae's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Did you get the ATI study manual? What worked for me was reading it cover to cover, and marking the pages I needed to go back and review. That way I could focus only on what I DID need to review, and...

  17. Are we allowed calculators?

    RunBabyRN replied to jessica2016's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    No, but as I remember it, there's one that you can access on the screen if there's a math question. The math is generally pretty
