    Failed at pre-nursing and pre OT. What to do now?

    WookieeRN replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to say this, but not everyone that wants to be a nurse will become a nurse. The sciences are paramount to nursing. If you are having trouble with time management now, pre-nursing, you are in...

    In LPN Program - Denied Acceptance into ADN Program

    WookieeRN replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    They set a bar at the minimum and you didn't meet it. No amount of complaining will probably get them to overlook that. It's not fair to all the others who DID meet that GPA (and above). Was 2.5 for...

    Nursing Dream but low GPA

    WookieeRN replied to Shonqueen1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Were you on probation before you received the D? Usually, the initial dip in GPA gets you a warning and probation from the Financial Aid department and then you get dropped if you don't bring it up....

    Hey guys. I'm torn between getting certified as a Pharm Tech or EKG/Phlebotomy Tech.

    WookieeRN replied to caeduss's topic in General Students

    Depending on your state you don't even need to take the class for Pharmacy Tech if they don't require it for licensure. I just did self study for pharmacy tech (bought a textbook and a PTCB study...

    I am from the Philadelphia area (near Lansdale and Doylestown) as well and it is TOUGH around here for new grads. Abington Hospital just laid of 95 employees recently, and most of the center city...

    WookieeRN replied to Gabrielle1818's topic in Nursing Career

    I think lately, 23 is pretty young on the spectrum of people deciding to become a nurse. I am currently 27, and even I think that's kinda young. I can almost guarantee that you will not be able to...

    WookieeRN replied to WookieeRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Please let us know! I don't meet with the advisor until December 17th (seriously cutting it down to the wire) and I'm officially moving down December 1st. Things are so hectic right

    Will having my LPN license help me get an RN job?

    WookieeRN replied to cat1235's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it depends on the facilities you are applying to. I've heard that some don't take your LPN experience into consideration, while others have a conversion scale (one facility I worked for had 6...

    You've already posted a thread on this topic. I'm not quite sure how posting another thread is going to get you any answers different from the one you've already posted. California new grads currently...

    How do you pay bills while in school?

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

    I moved out of my apt 6 months before school (it starts in January) and moved in with my boyfriend. I've been picking up as much work as possible and 80% of it goes into a savings account and the...

    Relationship and Nursing School

    WookieeRN replied to simplysw33t's topic in General Students

    Did he give you permission to go through his phone? I trust my boyfriend 100% and would never even think about going through his phone, even if I was suspicious. That shows a serious lack on both ends...

    Community College of Phila

    WookieeRN replied to Nayners22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't apply to CCP but my understanding is that while 2.75 is the minimum they accept, the average is much higher. I think I was told no one actually gets in with less than a 3.5? This was a couple...

    WookieeRN replied to jojo489's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm from PA and I've heard similar things said about and to LPNs faces. It's disheartening. A lot of people seem to think that they're interchangeable with CNAs and I think this is mostly because of a...

    I believe she is saying she got her BSN in 2011, is from the Caribbean, has 3 years of experience, and looking to move to Florida. What type of immigrant visa are you coming over

    To be honest, I think you are going to hear a lot of stories that say "yes!" and a lot of stories that say "no!" I think the most important part of being in that "yes!" category is having a very good...

    Dismissed from Chamberlains BSN!

    WookieeRN replied to VPRS0711's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think of it this way... That is the MINIMUM grade they expect, so naturally I understand why your professor would not budge. While 76% may be the minimum, they expect you to aim higher than that. Have...
