  1. what are some of the ways you studied for A&P.

    augurey replied to asiamikell's topic in General Students

    I did tons of flash cards. I utilized Study Blue and Quizlet (it took a slight bit of extra time to import my notes to Quizlet - very easy - but did this in the event one of the sites was down which...

  2. Fear of making med error as a nurse?

    augurey replied to ns808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My fear of killing someone because of an error I made was the biggest reason I never went to NS before (until now). You have to remember that you're going to be learning how to calculate dosages. With...

  3. Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    augurey replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    I think it greatly depends on who is teaching, their method, and what methods of teaching you understand. I've never been good at math. When I started my dosage and calculations class last fall, I was...

  4. Follow my heart or follow fear

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

    I think it's going to depend on what your needs and circumstances are. For example. Having a BSN is pretty much essential (especially if planning on working in a hospital). Due to our circumstances, I...

  5. Looking for alternative ways to get into a Nursing school

    augurey replied to artanis's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I don't think there's really an "easy" way into nursing school. If there is, it's likely a for profit school (assuming they have those in Canada?) which would likely either be A) very expensive and/or...

  6. Making sure you get the best education

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    At that hits the nail on the head. I'm speaking as a former student from the school (that the OP is referring to) and withdrew because of the accreditation and instruction (or lack thereof)....

  7. Do you have back up plans?

    augurey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I quit my job for NS. When I applied to my former school I didn't understand the difference in accreditation. I was accepted into an ACICS accredited school with BON approval. During my first semester...

  8. Do you have back up plans?

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

    It is depressing to think of not being able to go that route! For me, I really have to be realistic. I have my past counting against me, so I know that it may be a long shot. If it doesn't work out...

  9. I've been accepted!!

    augurey replied to BigCWilliams's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I know it can be nerve wracking waiting to hear back. I'm currently waiting for a response from 2 schools (with no idea how long it'll take as they both have rolling

  10. Approved VS Accredited

    augurey replied to cocobrotha's topic in General Students

    When I was first applying to NS last summer, I didn't know the difference in accreditation. I chose a school that was only ACICS accredited with BON approval. It was direct admittance without having...

  11. Nursing school with newborn?

    augurey replied to 123itsjesset's topic in General Students

    Can I ask how you bounced back so quickly after your c section? I'm trying for a VBAC (especially as it'll hopefully be better bouncing back to get back into class), but I have to be realistic about...

  12. Nursing school with newborn?

    augurey replied to 123itsjesset's topic in General Students

    I can't really speak from a newborn perspective (yet), but I had a 1 year old when I first started in the fall. I withdrew because of accreditation reasons at the end of February and am applying to a...

  13. What if I dont get in?

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

    If you don't get it, I think it'll depend on why. If it's something you can "fix" then maybe apply for the January admission. If you would need to move asap, it might even just be worth looking into...

  14. What if I dont get in?

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

    When does this current program start? Is it that one cohort starts soon and another in the fall? If you don't get accepted, I think it'll depend on why as far as if you should try for fall semester...

  15. Received my acceptance letter 😆😆😆😆

    augurey replied to 4theluv_nursing's topic in General Students

    Congrats! :) When does your first semester

  16. Here I Come!

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

    Congrats! Do you know when your first course starts? Good luck

  17. Nursing School With A Baby!

    augurey replied to ogs92's topic in General Students

    I started NS last fall right after my daughter turned 1 (I know you're asking about pre-reqs). My classes were at night, but she still spent a lot of time at daycare so I could study and do homework....

  18. Overall GPA is barely at a 3.0 but Nursing Prereq GPA is 3.38. Do I still have a chance?

    augurey replied to mcgough's topic in General Students

    It'll depend on the nursing school's requirements. They might do overall GPA or they might only do pre-req GPA (I don't know if one or the other is more common or not). As far as repeating the...

  19. Mercy College-Toledo 2014-2015

    augurey replied to tmccormi25's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have, perhaps, a lame/stupid question for current or former students. Acceptance letters. Does Mercy College go with large envelopes for acceptance and small for rejections, or all acceptance and...

  20. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    augurey replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    I think it all depends on the accreditation. If it's not regionally or nationally accredited, it may be very difficult to continue your education. I started at a technical school in the fall in an ADN...

  21. I give up!

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think some of it might just be part of nursing school (I can't really say based on my experience or lack thereof), but I think the majority it has to do with the specific program. I won't say that...

  22. Low cumulative GPA but 4.0 in prereqs--can I get into an ABSN program?

    augurey replied to This Is Water's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it'll depend on the competitiveness and the requirements of your school and what courses they include in your GPA. While I'm only applying to an ADN, they have certain requirements that I...

  23. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

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

    I think that can apply to pretty much any profession. In 8.5 years of working in medical billing, I saw this nearly on a daily basis with some of my coworkers (not all). Some people are just like...

  24. Mercy College-Toledo 2014-2015

    augurey replied to tmccormi25's topic in Ohio Nursing

    nina, check out their website for all the information, but the basics are: ~2.7 high school GPA or college GPA. ~If no college credits, you need a composite ACT score of 21 (20 in math, 19 in science)...

  25. I'm in my program, second year but did not take one prerequisite? What should I do?

    augurey replied to beachlover1989's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the OP's school is more of a direct admittance perhaps? My former school didn't require any pre-reqs. They taught them along side the other courses. If you took them, the credits...
