    How much free time do you have while in school?

    WookieeRN replied to TEXN's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the person. As PP said, some people can get As without much studying, while others struggle and study every waking

    Do you have back up plans?

    WookieeRN replied to augurey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a back up plan. OK, well that is technically a lie. I start nursing school in the fall but basically this is the end of the road for me. If I fail/drop out of nursing school I will...

    accepted into a nursing program with a DUI on your record

    WookieeRN replied to Sigmone's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Accepted is one thing, being able to get a license is a whole other ball game. You would have 2 steps to get an answer: an anonymous phone call with that exact question to the school you want to apply...

    Nursing in Russia?

    WookieeRN replied to Parakeet's topic in International Nursing

    My Russian is far from perfect but it's essentially comparing everything Putin has spent millions of dollars on in comparison to the hospital condition Russian citizens face. His presidential palace,...

    What would you have done? Episiotomy

    WookieeRN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Haha, thank you. It's not the #1 reason I won't have a baby yet, but it definitely a contributing factor. My SO's aunt is an L/D nurse and has said over and over she would advocate for me to the death...

    What would you have done? Episiotomy

    WookieeRN replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never been given birth, but the one thing that makes me keep putting pregnancy off (and off and off), besides nursing school, is partially due to my fear of excessive interventions in hospitals...

    Agreed. OP is definitely a candidate for a refresher program or going through an LPN program again. 5 years is a long time to be out of

    Relocating to the US

    WookieeRN replied to Bethrod's topic in General Nursing

    I think the first step would be: what will your visa status be and will you have work rights? Will you be able to get a social security number? I would then suggest going to the BON website of any...

    Options? Rejected from all California States

    WookieeRN replied to runslikeanose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was my understanding that the accepted GPAs for the CSUs are usually 3.8-4.0, and nothing below that. They are extremely competitive. Have you tried ADN programs? Also, it's hard to gauge what...

    Nursing Diploma

    WookieeRN replied to BHarris92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in a diploma program based out of a hospital that hires a good chunk of its students after they graduate and pass the NCLEX, however, our program is attached to a local college that we are...

    Do they have an entrance exam for your program? Knocking that out of the park would potentially offset your GPA a

    Watts School of Nursing admissions test

    WookieeRN replied to BrittyyKittyy's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It definitely gives you more time to get your ducks in a row. I'm currently trying to find a new apartment before I start in August and it's super stressful with all the other stuff I need to get in...

    Watts School of Nursing admissions test

    WookieeRN replied to BrittyyKittyy's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was always told the background check was a sign they are most likely going to accept you. That might be why it is time sensitive so they can expedite the decision based on what comes back from

    Can't get into school because of statistics :(

    WookieeRN replied to haedis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    100% agree. I was god-awful at math in high school. If I remember correctly, I failed pre-calculus my senior year. If I told myself in high school that I was a whiz at math in my late 20s I probably...

    Can't get into school because of statistics :(

    WookieeRN replied to haedis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly could not tell you one thing I remember from my statistics class, but I can tell you a lot more about what I learned in college algebra, calculus, etc because I use it almost every day. I...

    Monster of Pre-Requisites

    WookieeRN replied to ctaylar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You aren't the only one. Back in 2009 I thought the same thing until I sat down with a nursing advisor at my CC and she told me it was actually a 3-4 year program once prerequisites were accounted...

    Rolling TEAS exam scores

    WookieeRN replied to Beccalynn33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So, theoretically, you could be accepted and then have your acceptance rescinded if you get bumped enough? Am I understanding that correctly? Definitely score as high as you can. How much prep time...

    How to save money for nursing school?

    WookieeRN replied to janevance66's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This x100. Start meal planning your lunches, etc. After seeing how much I was spending a month eating out for convenience, I started planning and packing. Not only was I more satisfied with myself and...

    Employer paying off Student Loans?

    WookieeRN replied to Bluebolt's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly, I can't think of anyone in this market that still does that. Tuition reimbursement for current employees, yes, but not paying off your loans for a certain amount of work commitment. I'd say...

    Nursing in North Carolina

    WookieeRN replied to AndreaDevery's topic in General Nursing

    How far are you in your nursing program now? I would focus on graduating, then going to bedside nursing to get a feel for what you like, then think about grad school. CRNA is going to require at least...
