  1. Things You'd Like to Say to Fellow Students...

    When someone is asking a question, please open your ears. Some moments later someone asks that question..
  2. You are still fine. Just make sure to continue working hard and focusing on your upcoming prereqs. As long as you do good on other prereqs too that shouldn't be a problem. Look forward to new courses and the key is to apply your knowledge.
  3. Feeling a little down about taking a summer class

    Hey! I was once in your position a few summers ago, I actually took microbiology during summer. I was always taking summer classes anyways.. yes it's true that you'll be stuck in your room studying but it's not like summer is gone. You can hang out w...
  4. Heidi94-Spot on! Indeed I had clinicals where we were expected to be on the actual floor at 6:30am which means I had to be at the parking lot around 6am so I usually got up by the latest 4:40 or 4:50am. Sometimes I had clinicals where it started aro...

    FYI don't post full names on forums.
  7. I was wondering about a potential issue with online RN to BSN programs. So I know that we have to check their accreditation. I am concerned about the state issue. So I'm located in southern Ca, does it matter what online program I choose? like let's ...
  8. If you are going to date or start dating someone you better make sure that person will honestly be willing to stick with and work with you. Schedules change and exams come almost every 2 ish weeks so that person has to genuinely understand hey you mi...
  9. Pharmacy or nursing school

    Besides the greens or how long you will be in school, which pathway truly fascinates you ? Is there one that makes you really excited to study about and want to take part in for a long time? Really try to answer those questions honestly from within.
  10. Been there, done that RN Students: Rent or Buy

    I agree with what others said. I've been told by my program's 2nd year and 1st year students that we should rent speciality books like peds, psych, OB/maternity and buy the books you need throughout like funds, med surg, care plan book.
  11. Accepted into nursing school

    You must be full of emotions and congratulations. I start a program in august as well. Let's do awesommmee
  12. Question about perquisite loads

    Sounds like a lot on your plate. It is manageable if you can study hard on top of work and all. Some people can work, school and still study and do well despite so many this going on, and some can't. Knowing yourself if you can handle all that is an ...
  13. I am taking my prereqs. Which math should i take?

    You can take a look at the requirements programs have for prereqs are concerned and like others say BSN programs do require stats so stats seems the most practical to take. stats isn't a hard math class, you just need to do many problems many times a...
  14. Did you do rn to bsn online or at a traditional school ?
  15. Prerequisites

    Try to do well on prereq courses the first time you take it. Take it seriously. Some programs can be strict with repeats and how many times it was taken. As for the teas I was recommended to take it after having micro, physio and anatomy. I've heard ...
  16. Prerequisites

    Some programs have different prereqs Common ones are micro, physio, anatomy, English, intro chem, math, psychology, Some programs don't do waiting list, they may go by lottery point system. Mine did. The teas test must be within passing or above ot...
  17. For prereqs you can take them anywhere you want to. If a cc has it and you can sign up for classes and get what you need, go for it(the cost per unit is cheaper than at a state school). I can see why it may be good to take prereqs at a state univers...
  18. Family, working and in school??

    From what I gathered at my orientation course , the students who had a spouse was very suppporitive and took care of the bills. I heard from a student who did not work but her hubby was the one who did literally manage the bills. Another student had ...
  19. Was not accepted 4 times, now what???

    Do you currently hold a bachelors from a different subject? You could technically do accelerated bsn if you did. You could also do adn for 2 years then do rn to bsn. It all depends on what you want to do.
  20. Was not accepted 4 times, now what???

    Bsn programs are competitive and highly desired. Have you considered retaking courses or the teas test to bump yourself up? You need to know the reasons for why you got denied a spot at the schools you applied to and go from there. You could also loo...
  21. Should I drop statistics?

    A and p is time consuming for sure. Stats isn't hard math but it can be somewhat time attentive too. I think stats is a lot better in person since you see the board and hear explanations
  22. How many times did you apply before you got accepted?

    First time to a private school bsn program who gave 1st priority to their own pre nursing freshman. I didn't get accepted. I'm glad I didn't. Too expensive for me anyways. Second time I did get in to a local cc ADN program. You must follow all the r...
  23. RN to MD or DO

    MD or DO is pretty competitive. You'll need great grades in the prereqs and they typically like to see applicants who has done some sort of research. you would want to do very well on the MCAT exam which will include a new subject this year.
  24. Lazy group members!!!

    I'm sorry you got pared up with those who aren't as motivated like you are. I do feel that speaking to them would be either good or bad. Perhaps talking to your professor about this in a mature, professional manner would give him a heads up about the...

    Reading on a daily basis if you can is great, before coming to class and after class. The book can b a bit boring from time to time after spending so much time with it. When you get really bored you may want to break and do something else fun. Your f...
