  1. 40k for nursing school?

    dorkypanda replied to varonte69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is way too much. I think you could earn an adn degree and BSN degree for less than that if you're going to a public school. but the cost of a BSN program varies from place to

  2. questions about prerequisites in CA

    dorkypanda replied to Natanail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh you take the prereqs and complete them before applying to a nursing program unless they accept no

  3. questions about prerequisites in CA

    dorkypanda replied to Natanail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Prereqs take about 1-2 years to complete. You have to look at the requirements online at the specific programs you like. Typically they are micro, anatomy and physiology, two college English,...

  4. Transferring for nursing?

    dorkypanda replied to sunshine_27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have the support from mom and dad I think you know what's best to do. go forward to the school that has the program you want to do. im sure you will make great friends again and meet other...

  5. How can I be more supportive to my girlfriend in nursing school?

    dorkypanda replied to msgtpick's topic in General Students

    I am thinking that you both are in your mid to late twenties or possibly 30's since you're living together. i am glad to hear that you are putting in real efforts to try to make her days easier and it...

  6. Is becoming LPN to a RN better than just shooting for a RN for a slow learner?

    dorkypanda replied to guest859317's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stats is a fairly not difficult math course, it's not calculus. You should be doing many problems to get used to the steps in solving the many types of problems. it's very helpful to draw little...

  7. How soon to pursue RN to BSN transition?

    dorkypanda replied to RN26kids's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your soon to be graduation from the adn program! I think it depends on if you're tired from school, want a break or want to start having a job that soon. personally for me, if I'm done...

  8. I need help!

    dorkypanda replied to NewOrthoNurse's topic in General Students

    Tough situation. If the trip thing is a requirement I say that is important more so than the other. However, you can always ask whomever is in charge if you are allowed 10 days off for the school...

  9. Nursing and chemistry!?

    dorkypanda replied to pall24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the commuter. chemistry is a prereq for the BSN program and the chemistry I would say could be general. Organic, inorganic, a combination of chemistry and bio integration course. It...

  10. private school or wait another year?

    dorkypanda replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    I'm in the process of applying to cc right now. I'm getting anxious about if I can get in or not since they go by a point system and there's too many different group of people who can apply. i guess...

  11. Pre-Reqs! HELP!!!!

    dorkypanda replied to 11mary26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you and if given the opportunity to take summer class I'd take it. It depends on if those classes are available or not during summer so, take a pick if they are. I'd chose micro during...

  12. Pre-Reqs! HELP!!!!

    dorkypanda replied to 11mary26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stats isn't a hard class but it will require a good amount of study time to hone down the math steps. I think doing many problems is helpful. anatomy and physiology, and micro are two heavy science...

  13. private school or wait another year?

    dorkypanda replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    If a voice within you says to wait then perhaps that's what you should do. is there anything else you can do to improve your GPA, your total points for applying ? If there is I think you should do

  14. private school or wait another year?

    dorkypanda replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    You're not old alright, you're still young. Seems like you need to go to grad school or beyond for your goal of becoming an NP. I can't believe that the associates program are somewhat pretty...

  15. Everything but the TEAS exam...

    dorkypanda replied to BSNMeme2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i agree with krrbrr. you could always do associates then RN to BSN. Not sure what state you're in but BSN programs could be hard to get into especially when as a transfer student. going directly into...

  16. Help

    dorkypanda replied to hahcna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    civil confrontation with some people just won't help much and I have a feeling it may be the case with this lady here. Anyways, I think you should let it go and avoid her like the previous poster...

  17. Should I be a nurse?

    dorkypanda replied to Taymarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like the micro, anatomy, and physiology are the foundations to the nursing courses. so it does make sense that nursing courses are not like prereqs intensity wise. you may have to change...

  18. Should I be a nurse?

    dorkypanda replied to Taymarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro requires a lot of time spent studying and reading. I would say it almost requires daily reading and studying. it may sound like a lot but really it's just to be on top of your game and be...

  19. Applying for RN to BSN programs, need help with personal statement!

    dorkypanda replied to dragonfly.'s topic in School, College Programs

    They want to see that you are determined and motivated to reach your goals. What are your goals specifically? so you've completed the associates program, from your experience did you like some areas...

  20. How can I be taken more seriously?

    dorkypanda replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Students

    I think if you were to project confidence and assertiveness and maintain your professionalism I think you should be fine. being small or looking young shouldn't be a set back to your workplace...

    dorkypanda replied to Purple_roses's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seem like you are very dedicated to get through things. I believe it is doable if you put your mind to it and don't mind studying a lot. micro was a fun class too though. I took it during a summer...

  23. Should I take these courses in the same semester?

    dorkypanda replied to Purple_roses's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem and cell bio are doable sciences given that you study daily. micro and anatomy are more tougher classes than chem and cell bio. They require more time input for studying and understanding. You...

  24. General Education courses expiry?

    dorkypanda replied to Sophia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could ask the school just to make double sure on that. GE shouldn't be a big deal though. The sciences on the other hand could expire like anatomy, physiology,

  25. Confusion

    dorkypanda replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Technically speaking yes, once you graduate from an adn program and pass the NCLEX test you are literally an RN. finding a hospital job with an associates I'm not so sure how successful that is. I...
