I'm 25 and going to nursing school. Staying out of sun, using sunscreen in all weather, avoid Foundation (BB cream is ok). Tanning at the Beach is a no no. Personally I apply 5/6 creams
@ FJD13 . Glad to see diverse backgrounds in nursing! btw, did you apply to Emory? They have a program here you get to work at the VA in Atlanta which is magnet status hospital. I was wondering what...
Duke doesn't need the labs, but I went to a school with a quarter system so I had to take an extra class to have enough semester units for some schools =_="'. Also, other schools I applied to required...
@Mrunner15[COLOR=#000000]. I believe that it was supposed to be changed to DNP by 2015, apparently it didn't happen. Wouldn't wanna spend 4 yrs straight in school. That's like going to med school LOL...
@[COLOR=#000000]LaurenH38. Thank you! I'm pretty much set on going to MGH, but I was really worried about having classes online and that I'd procrastinate... I've heard that job market is tight so...

I may attend school outside of California, but would love to return to southern CA, especially LA if possible. Is it a possibility to pursue travel nursing as a new grad in SoCal
@ PinkEagle. Waitlist better than rejection, I wish you the best. I know some schools rank by number but I do not know about Hopkins. If they do not, they can choose whomever they wish. In that case,...
it's important to do well in your prerequisites, but understand that nursing school will get harder, not easier. You'll have multiple science classes on top of clinicals. When taking a class, I...
I think you should stick with nursing school. Getting in is competitive and it's only been one semester. There will be many specialties you can go into; nursing is a very broad field. Sometimes life...
@clally5, yes I've emailed to make sure. At my school, the lecture and lab portions are separate classes. I actually went through a tedious process because at my school the first lab class doesn't...
@ clally5 , I am finishing both religion classes this spring as well. I've all A's in science prerequisites, except a B+ in chem lab, but I've also repeated chem lecture portion
@tatumollusk. I believe someone called and said they were accepting 70, even though the website at that point said 50. you can call to check. the male admissions counselor has been answering his...
