  1. Are they doing away with the ASN programs?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to ac9390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think A LOT of the time, the "get the BSN, hospitals only want BSN!" when vs. ADN people seem to forget that just because your getting an ADN doesn't mean you can't bridge over to BSN. There are no...

  2. Transferring from Nursing Schools

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Dezi919's topic in General Students

    You can transfer to the college, no problem certainly if you're current college and classes meet all that college's requirements for accepting transfers. But, Nursing programs are different. They have...

  3. should i give it a shot

    Miss.LeoRN replied to ari426's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From the website... You will be fine. Graduate with at minimum a 2.0 in your current degree, and then make sure you score as high as you can in the pre-req courses, and the HESI. The program is...

  4. Have a BS Biology. Best to do ABSN or ADN?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Allison514's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are likely going to need a BSN, not just a BS + RN for your future goal. That said.. you are more than able to do the ADN program and then do an RN to BSN bridge if you find out that you do indeed...

  5. financial aid and course load

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Alexandra19's topic in General Students

    Look at your program. Does it have other classes that are required of it outside the nursing classes that you've already taken? That is how mine is. We have an 8 credit "Nursing" (I,II,III,IV) class...

  6. Scanner suggestions??

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    If you have $200 to spend, I'd look into an all-in-one laser printer, or a laser printer with a scan/copy feature. It's the best investment I've ever made, and it saves so much money when needing to...

  7. How many classes?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Classes are different with each program, if that isn't obvious by all the other posts! Some programs have one or two classes that encompass all areas of nursing, and others they have separate classes...

  8. I want to be a nurse but I'm not huge on western medicine?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like they said, you will have to go the "western medicine" route... remember, nursing is a science. Think of it as a learning opportunity. You will get to learn what medications do, how they are used,...

  9. Does it matter where you get your nursing degree from?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to kcsunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Program accreditation is all that matters. At the end of it all, you sit for the exact same test. The NCLEX. What is each college's pass rate for the NCLEX? I'd be more concerned with that over which...

  10. Is it normal to not know your clinical location until the first day of class..

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Kandake's topic in General Students

    I won't know my clinical placement until several weeks into classes already starting. We spend the first 2 or 3 weeks in "Clinical Labs" before they toss us into an actual clinical

  11. fast track -5 week Anatomy/Phys/Micro study tips?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Study often. You're never going to retain all that information without studying often. Take your notes EVERYWHERE. Review them until you're blue in the face, and don't plan on having much of a social...

  12. Microbiology at Ocean county college

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Tiffaniebush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is the third edition. They have a "loose leaf" copy that seems to be selling as used for about $30. Hope that helps you!....

  13. Microbiology at Ocean county college

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Tiffaniebush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why in the world did your program make you buy/rent a microscope?! That is insane. Your campus should be equipped with them! The book new, looks to run roughly $200. The lowest price I found was...

  14. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    Mine just arrived! It's a Littmann Cardiology III in breast cancer awareness pink. I went for the full, pricier investment, because in my mind there is no option to

  15. At my wit's end...

    Miss.LeoRN replied to jasonsgirl4eves's topic in General Students

    I had a similar issue in a previous class I took on my first semester of college. I always did the reading, I take really well organized and to the point notes. There were only 10 people in the class,...

  16. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm just going to find a brick wall, wonder how some people even passed some of their classes in school, and eat my

  17. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The CDC is a reputable source. So were the scientific journals we used in my Micro class of which I took just last semester. We spent 3 weeks on Ebola. It's not some "mysterious disease to which we...

  18. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    Miss.LeoRN replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    We were pretty much told at orientation that only light make up is allowed. If it was too obvious we'd be asked to remove it/sent home with a clinical fail for that day. And that goes for any...

  19. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That was my point. There were other explanations. Ebola isn't suddenly going to mutate and become airborn out of no where just because, one of the primary factors preventing this is that ebola kills...

  20. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because there are times when logic and reason fail the Internet. Ten Things You Really Should Know About Ebola | IFLScience Also, about the airborne strain.... BBC News - Growing concerns over 'in...

  21. Books to buy vs. rent vs. eBook? BSN

    Miss.LeoRN replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What books you will need to buy/rent will depend on your program. Even if you buy them you can likely sell them after. If your program uses certain books throughout, buy those. It can be far more...

  22. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Miss.LeoRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't understand these Ebola threads. I seriously don't. It's an unnecessary panic. Really. We're all required to have taken Microbiology aren't we? Didn't they go over viral infections and how they...

  23. Ebola

    Miss.LeoRN replied to canoehead's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not a matter of will ebola come to the US, it's a matter of when ebola will come to the US. Just like Dengue Fever, SARS, West Nile, and every other foreign born disease.. it will eventually...

  24. Nighttime studying

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    I'm a night person, so the whole study thing at night comes easier for me. I'm usually wide awake come 12 and 1am, even as late as 3 some nights. Studying can be exhausting, but "before you go to bed"...

  25. Would this be Overkill? :/

    Miss.LeoRN replied to Clodoveo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure anyone touched on it, but why are you retaking English if you got a B? You should check with the program(s) you are interested about their retake policy and on which gpa they look at. Some...
