    dorkypanda replied to mlee13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You must check the nursing programs you're interested in and see what their policy is on retaking courses. Some will allow it some won't and if they do, how many times. Read up on this before retaking...

  3. If you had all the funds..

    dorkypanda replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. CSU minimum age requirement?

    dorkypanda replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. School competition/ what to do?

    dorkypanda replied to applekors27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. School competition/ what to do?

    dorkypanda replied to kambam's topic in General Students

  10. RN to BSN programs

    dorkypanda replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

  15. Feeling discouraged

    dorkypanda replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to find out what isn't working for you, do you need a study habit change ? Are you studying and reading every day ? do you cram studying ? If you need help you need to speak to the professor...

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

    dorkypanda replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Students

    I read somewhere that some preferred doing the one 12 hour shift versus the two 6 hour shifts. Think about if you'd rather prefer to get it all done in one day or

  18. Would volunteering be beneficial?

    dorkypanda replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    Volunteering is a great idea and you should totally do it.if you could do it once or twice a week really depends on the volunteering manager/ head on that matter. you should ask that question
