  1. Lifespan Psych - an observation

    BBboy replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had both communications and nursing communication courses. Knowing what to say in the moment can be taught in the classroom but it is also something that you just have to "feel" after having been...

  2. Is university a lot harder than community college?

    BBboy replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been at both. There's really no difference. The only thing that's different is living on campus in my opinion. University teachers will also teach at CC's and vice versa. Universities, at least...

  3. In my feelings

    BBboy replied to Shanella25's topic in General Students

    Hey I was supposed to graduate in 2016 too but now it'll be 2017 (traditional age as well), sure it bums me out as well but I think of all of the experiences I've had and people I've met as a result...

  4. Discouraged

    BBboy replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know I was just thinking. For those of you that dropped various classes while taking others, what're you going to do when you have a full time nursing course schedule for the first time? Trust me...

  5. Nursing prerequisite grades

    BBboy replied to arb29171's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Id say any oppurtunity at a 4 year is shot (tough truth). With any grades below a B+ it's tough to get in, having 3 C's in basically the most essential pre req classes is killer. Some programs are...

  6. ATI Proctored Fundamentals A and/or B

    BBboy replied to ayelah_ganda's topic in General Students

    I won't have the maternity for a while but I did take the fundamentals last quarter. The practice exams from the testing website didn't exactly prepare one for the actual test itself, though it gave...

  7. Afraid A&P is Going to Sink Me

    BBboy replied to Zibbie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having a good teacher in A&P is important but the learning is essentially all on you. A lot of people can't make the transition to the kind of studying necessary to succeed in the class. Make sure...

  9. Discouraged

    BBboy replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know being a Nurse of any type is difficult regardless of what letters precede the "N" on your name tag. Also, I have not seen any programs that wouldnt have required chemistry or biology prior to...

  10. Disclosing past education

    BBboy replied to Kimbo3377's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't disclose you could possibly get blacklisted from applying, I know one of my colleagues tried to submit their nursing school app while withholding all their course grades from one...

  11. Super Close

    BBboy replied to dtaleton88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those classes wern'tvery difficult in my opinion, you'll be more than fine (I took nutrition, a&p, stats, micro, lifespan over a summer before). I've only seen people really struggle with the...

  12. I was fired for verbal abuse now what happens

    BBboy replied to koppcd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Never swear at a patient, especially one that is alert and oriented. Pray that they don't lay the hammer down on

  13. Repeating classes. Denied getting in?

    BBboy replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    some places count withdrawals as one of the retakes, again, read the application carefully. we can only give you information based off of our own

  14. Repeating classes. Denied getting in?

    BBboy replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My old university didn't accept applicants who had more than 1 retake of any class. Yes, many schools will not accept your application if there are multiple retakes. Read each schools application to...

  15. Low GPA school options

    BBboy replied to Abguy's topic in General Students

  16. Nursing School

    BBboy replied to Mjs011096's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know if one place tells you that you won't be able to get into their program you can always check out a different

  17. I feel weird to wear scrubs to school

    BBboy replied to mndlng97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're the uncomfortable just change into your scrubs when you get to work...unless we have some sort of lab that day I normally refrain from wearing scrubs to class just because I wear them so...

  18. Juggling Family life w/ School

    BBboy replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have many in my cohort that have kids either young, grown, or on the way while being full time students and working as well. You just do it or you don't. As i'm sure you learned in the army there...

  19. A&P / BIO help!!!!

    BBboy replied to Kitty333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being able to teach back the information, like stated above, is the most efficient way to ensure that you've learned the material. Once you can do that, spacing out will magically disappear and good...

    BBboy replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wannabe the key to succeeding in anatomy and physiology is just going over the lab material countless times and being able to recall the material learned in class or from the book. As stated earlier...

  21. Not sure if I can handle full time classes

    BBboy replied to Daisy nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school will definitely be a lot harder for you than the courses you're taking now. I just started pharmacology a few weeks ago alongside med surg and etc, and lemme tell you things will only...

  22. Think a 3.0 grade is bad in a prerequisite class?

    BBboy replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych, in my opinion, was the easiest pre-req aside from nutrition or communications. Unless you have several other 4.0s to offset that grade you'd want to retake that

  23. Clinicals?

    BBboy replied to Ktrujil9's topic in General Students

    Mine has about 8 per clinical

  24. Rewrite of Admission Essay

    BBboy replied to DanaRNoneday's topic in General Students
