  1. Competitiveness Grades etc

    Micci replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maren, you are right, it is crazy if someone with a 3.5 can not get into a nursing program because their gpa isn't high enough. I don't think the gpa itself is the problem. As the nursing program...

  2. Competitiveness Grades etc

    Micci replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :rotfl: I think alot like you. I was so mad at myself during HESI (our equivalent of the NET test) when I got a 96% accumulative, that I let our an audible groan. I was pretty dissappointed in...

  3. Competitiveness Grades etc

    Micci replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That seems so unfair! I'd rather have it on gpa and nursing enterance exam, like my college, because at least I know I can DO something to better my chances. Makes me feel more in control of my own...

  6. Competitiveness Grades etc

    Micci replied to SeekingNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is really competitive here. I am applying this year with a 3.5, because I transfered credits from another school in order to try to get in a year early. If I get all A's this semester and they...

  7. Will there still be a shortage in the year 2010?

    Micci replied to studentnurse3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, in fact the limited availability of seats in nursing programs and the high drop out rate, is keeping the profession from being saturated, IMHO. At our ADN advising session, the nurse instructor...

  8. Jobs While Student!!!!!!

    Micci replied to Blue_eyes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Worst job was after I as married when I ran a new day program that was taking in developmentally disabled adults who were high functioning, had serious mental illnesses in addition and were getting...

  9. A&P 1: Please help me understand "hypertonic" & "hypotonic"!!

    Micci replied to JasmineTea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it helps to understand what the prefixes hypo- and hyper- mean. Hypo means below, lower than, under. The solution has less solute (disolved particles like salt) than the cell. Hyper means...

  10. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Micci replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I'm at COD in IL. I'm OK now. I've gone over the tissue pictures in my lab book and my lecture book, and my cd that comes with the lab book. Last night we looked at the slides again. I've...

  11. Rejected-some thoughts and questions

    Micci replied to cincin1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is true about the GPA thing. I know someone who had a solid 4.0, got into the nursing program and quit after a month. Grades are not always an indication of ability. It doesn't seem fair...

  12. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Micci replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this normal for a lab exam? Our instructor says on the lab exam next week, we will have to look in the microscope and identify each type of tissue (simple squamous, transitional, stratified...

  13. I am SO P***** right now

    Micci replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes I seriously think that the colleges have their heads up their butts. I have heard so many stories of things like this from students who were told one thing, and at the last minute told...

  14. please help: are nursing schools really THAT competitive?

    Micci replied to mzlizbit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about the BA programs, but the ADN programs are pretty competitive. It seems like the more intense the class, the more intense the nursing students in it

  15. Feeling Guilty-Kids,Work&school

    Micci replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you quit now, you know you will regret it. It is so hard to get motivated now. It is only three more quarters. Stay strong!! You can do

  16. Feeling Guilty-Kids,Work&school

    Micci replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I just thought I should introduce myself. I am the Queen of Guilt. I too wish I had done this earlier. I have 3 kids (since two of them have birthdays in the next few weeks, I'll give their...

  17. What do you do in a group project when some people just dont "do it"

    Micci replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Strategies for working with others: Designate. If people are not taking initiative to take on a task, then assign them something to do. If they are not doing their part, then sometimes a bit of peer...

  18. Hard to get into Nursing Program, any advice?

    Micci replied to Juish1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same position. I don't know what your situation is. There are various options. You can try becoming a CNA and working in a hospital, as they usually have tuition assistance that would...

  19. Does everyone seem negative?

    Micci replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went to the first guidance counselor to discuss enrolling in school and what classes to take for the nursing program, she was very negative to me. She kept telling me how comptetitive it was,...

  20. Job interview question??

    Micci replied to bmburke78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Funny you should mention this. I just had a phone interview with the hospital for a patient care tech/unit secretary position. So I am in a similar position. No advice yet, but really nervous. Good...

    Micci replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Started A&P 1 last night. Totally lucked out!!! The originally scheduled teacher quit and we got a new teacher. I had heard that the original teacher was very hard. No extra credit, not...

  22. Does everyone seem negative?

    Micci replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's pretty fierce at our school and a couple years ago, there were 1000 applicants for the 117 slots in the program. So it is true that many will spend a lot of money on these classes and not be...

  25. Nursing School Entrance Exam

    Micci replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our college uses the HESI admittance exam, but I just found out that we are not required to take the science parts- just vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammer and math. I heard it was pretty...
