    Livetoride replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay! You go

  2. To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    Livetoride replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Programs are just so competitive, I know people with 4.0s who got rejected out of their nursing school admissions because of the flood of applicants. You could have the highest GPA, have honors,...

  3. Philosophy or English?

    Livetoride replied to thatnursingguy03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    English is going to be your best bet, but if you are able to, why not take both? If you only have to choose one, choose English over Philosophy and maybe in the future, you will be able to fit...

  4. I never attended college.

    Livetoride replied to AreEnd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kudos for furthering your career! Your hospital job will really help you when you are able to get out in the field as a nurse. You already have that door wide open for you. I say that going through a...

  5. Who's taking summer courses?

    Livetoride replied to kwilson251's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finished up on Monday by turning in 2 papers for Psychology and taking the exam. My other class ended last Friday and I turned in my paper for that class. Now I get to anxiously wait till grades are...

  6. Stop freaking out over COMPASS math!

    Livetoride replied to Biosciencegeek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The new changes to my school's nursing program will actually incorporate COMPASS into a pre-req. I didn't do so hot on mine and I am going to retest around the same time I take my TEAS. I think it's...

  7. Nursing student aganist bullying

    Livetoride replied to apnurserock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not in nursing but health field related still. In my Medical Billing and Coding training, racism and favoritism was rampant. As a result, me and one other girl had a target on our backs by instructors...

  8. going back to school and nursing... stressed out

    Livetoride replied to HighHealz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally think at 29, you really need to re-evaluate yourself. If you are truly stressed and unhappy with your life, change it. Don't expect others to. You need to sit down with an advisor at your...

  9. Specialty

    Livetoride replied to julzgarcia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top choices are Pediatrics, ER, and psychiatric. In the future, my ultimate career goal is to become a FNP for low income

  10. pre nurse student

    Livetoride replied to nurse_to_be_12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school has a set curriculum of pre-nursing classes. You need to talk to your academic advisor if you are lost, since they would know how to get you

  11. Applied for Spring 15 ADN-Now the Wait..

    Livetoride replied to Beginning15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find a hobby that can consume you for the waiting period, and apply to other programs if you can. That way you have higher odds of being accepted into a program if you can't get into your original...

  12. Got into nursing school....Should I wait?!?!

    Livetoride replied to theeemmakate34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say go for being a nurse but from what I'm reading, you are having doubts and have an interest in Spanish. If you burnt out from the pre-reqs, you may need to come to terms with yourself to either...

  14. New Plan to get my degree

    Livetoride replied to nurseD1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a good plan! Make sure you speak with your advisor so you can find out what pre-reqs/transfer credits you need for the BSN. I'm probably beating a dead horse bur he most economical route...

  15. ages and schedules

    Livetoride replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    23 with a 15 month old at home, taking a full course load for fall (Human Biology, Elementary Algebra, The College Experience, Comp I, Basic Nurse Aide). Oh, how busy will I be! Currently, I'm part...

  16. Future Medical Assistant! Any advice

    Livetoride replied to eflores06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Doctor's offices and clinics are the only entities as far as I know who hire MAs. I have a family member (in AL) that went through an MA program but has never landed a job in the field after countless...

  17. Dealing with well-meaning but stupid questions?

    Livetoride replied to feelslikefire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get bombarded because I did not go to school to become a DVM lol. It's not anybody's business but your own what you want to go into. Personally, I find it very stressful to even think about going...

  18. SCHOOLS

    Livetoride replied to leontyne cooper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Google all accredited nursing programs in your area, find out what their admission standards are and apply to those

  19. Does Anatomy & Physiology help you in nursing?

    Livetoride replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it wasn't essential to nursing, it wouldn't be a pre-req. Just my

  20. I'm so nervous and so excited.

    Livetoride replied to sunshine.jones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome and good luck on your journey!! Life's way too short to be

  21. School-specific textbooks

    Livetoride replied to TikiTak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One class I am not taking is a study skills class that has a book that is custom to the school from what I heard, and the cost is over $120. It's frustrating to students that take the course because...

  22. Anxiety

    Livetoride replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take a deep breath and relax. Find yourself a support system, perhaps go to counseling if needed and maybe even an advisor can help you choose classes per semester so you don't feel bogged down and...

  23. Becoming a CNA before starting school.

    Livetoride replied to bear94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think being a CNA is a fantastic way to figure out how you would do in the health field. My school actually sets CNA and Advanced CNA as pre-reqs to nursing

  24. Failed last Semester of school

    Livetoride replied to charleskemp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second speaking to advisors at schools you are interested in for regards to your GPA as they can give you the best solution to your problem. You are not doomed from becoming a nurse; you're going...

  25. Pre-med or Nursing?

    Livetoride replied to redhead89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
