    direw0lf replied to hardworkingmom9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    direw0lf replied to kwfine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not meaning to be rude but what you or I think doesn't matter we didn't interview him and note all of his positives and negatives and I'd be shocked if only those 2 points (11 and 12) are the reasons...

  4. Nursing School Personal Statement

    direw0lf replied to s.otero.lee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get writers block a lot. I found out that I write better when I stop trying to perfect it first and just write not caring about how it sounds yet but put it down. Then go over it to make those same...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Do honors help gain a job

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    As a transfer I can't get phi eta sigma honors without taking at least 3 honors classes including English honors (I took English I and II already). Even though I already took history, I'd repeat it in...

    direw0lf replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    How do you find out... hm. I don't know. I could be very wrong, because I was basing my thoughts about your decisions on how I would feel and how I would do in your place. I know that if I didn't love...

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. My school wants titers like lackeyls for some reason! I'm not one of those nutty anti-vaccine persons, but I am sensitive to them. I'm sensitive to drugs also, and take a child's medicine...

  19. So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    direw0lf replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    I think every student nurse shares this same fear at some point to some degree! In the class I just had, we were given a lot of case studies. One true story stuck with me. A new nurse had worked 2 12...

    direw0lf replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    This is a great idea. I also found it kind of like the OP was not whole heatedly committed to nursing if just math would cause a change of major, without even trying to find out more about it? I mean...
