  1. A&P Prep?

    katyq82 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    katyq82 replied to KDalmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    katyq82 replied to ORJulez's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  6. Rewrite of Admission Essay

    katyq82 replied to DanaRNoneday's topic in General Students

    You gave good insight into your personal thought process... A couple things to think about in these 2 sentences: I would work on these two sentences... the phrases "killing time" and "kick myself"...

    katyq82 replied to belle1982's topic in General Nursing

    Having applied to all the campuses definitely raises your chances! Someone else may have a higher score but not get in if their only choice campus is full. Not long to wait now.. I can't believe it...

    katyq82 replied to belle1982's topic in General Nursing

    I looked into the RIC 2nd bachelor's program and began the application process but I got the same feeling- that there wasn't a good chance of making it work as an adult student/parent. I'm sorry...

    katyq82 replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Let's talk HESI

    katyq82 replied to rfrishe's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    It doesn't sound like your school laid out how the HESI will be factored in to the admission decision? For my college it was essentially 1/4 of the decision, with the other elements being 3 pre-req...

  25. Cost of Living Loans?

    katyq82 replied to CTurner02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
