Is that GPA including all of your prereqs. needed for the program you're applying for? To be honest, the 2 different GPAs may definitely affect you but there should be some program you are accepted into. What about applying for every program possible...

I don't think ratemyprofessor is really on the mind of a nursing student...we kind of just accept the faculty we get as we have no other choice. I go to a great nursing program with great professors and you might find one on that site...it doesn't me...

I think this greatly depends on the program you are in. Personally, I feel like my junior year was harder than my senior year. (I am going in to my last semester this Fall). Last semester, I still had to study and manage my time but I was not nearly ...

Study smarter, not harder! Time management is key! Be thorough in your work. Get a study buddy if you feel like you are having a hard time understanding the material. These classes are CRUCIAL for you to be admitted into a nursing school. Every class...

If she is asked when she graduates, you obviously tell when. She did not make it seem this unit was aware she was a nursing student. "Stretch the truth" means not speaking on the topic and if asked about future goals..."stretch the truth". This has n...

If this is the case, then the answer is obvious.

Lying and "stretching the truth" are two different things. Maybe I should have continued to use that term, rather than lying? I would never get a job if I said, "Oh! I only intend to be here for 6 months!" I work for a hiring manager and she has spec...

Exactly the reason to NOT tell the truth...how do you get your foot in the door otherwise?

They will not overlook her for the grad program...based on whether she tells the truth or not...for time to prepare for her to be admitted. The grad program admission process is probably based on the requirements for any other grad nursing program. N...

Everyone seems to think people don't lie to climb the ladder? You have got to be kidding me! As much as everyone wants to think if you tell the truth, it will get you far. No it won't. Stop being ignorant and realize everyone makes choices based off ...

I think that is a SMART plan! Good luck to you and all of your endeavors!

I would stretch the truth. Of course it's not what you want to do but you have to look out for yourself. Employers hire people who think they will stick with them for a long time. Although they want to know that you are a motivated individual and hav...

Don't let that discourage you from pursuing your dreams. Every one has a past and mistakes they aren't exactly proud of. Have you taken your prerequisites for nursing yet? If not, start there. Those classes will bring your gpa up before applying to n...

Hi all, I am currently a BSN student at JU. I plan to apply to UF BSN-DNP program after gaining clinical experience on the floor, preferably pediatrics. I've seen the requirements on the UF website, I'm just curious for those who have gotten in - wha...

If you are working, I would definitely consider making payments on the interest while in school. I have been unable to do that throughout school and wish I had as I am seeing the interest build-up as time goes on.

As far as loan forgiveness, it is in regards to public service employees, so yes this would be applicable to you but it doesn't come without limitations (i.e. 10 years of full-time work with 120 minimum payments based on your salary once you graduate...

exactly!

Thank you! Appreciate it :)

You're entitled to your own opinion. Obviously you can't just sit back and do nothing. Also, anyone would know to have experience with an MSN but I figured that would be easy to assume since you usually have a BSN first. I believe you pay for what yo...

75% test average is passing, anything below is failing the course regardless of other assignments.

I'm currently in a BSN program. I have debt from getting my associates and will have an additional $60K if not more for my BSN. I don't like the idea that I'll be paying these loans for a good ten years but I see it as an investment in myself and fut...

I'm going into my third semester of my BSN program. I will be taking pediatrics and medsurge 2. I've heard peds is challenging because the information is different from adults. Any advice on preparing for peds or medsurge 2 would greatly be appreciat...

Honestly, as far as getting into the program, as long as your grades are good, you would have better chances getting in because you are male. Age doesn't matter, as long as you devote the time into your studies, you won't have trouble passing your co...

I have peds with Medsurge 2 and then critical care and OB together the following semester. Thankyou for clarifying Erikson and the developmental milestones. I don't have my peds book but I think I found a good table for the milestones- ranges from b...

Thank you all so much for the advice! I will continue to put a lot of time into my studies and possibly even more into an area I'm not so excited for (pediatrics).
