  1. Accelerated ASN/ADN programs

    MB37 replied to kjack87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you finised all of your prereqs? That takes multiple semesters, if your bachelor's was in an unrelated field. Mine was, and I'm in my 4th semester of prereqs - although it's only part time - and...

  2. finger callus prevention

    MB37 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any tips? I take a TON of handwritten notes when I study. and the tip of my right pointer finger gets painfully callused. I have a permanent groove on my middle finger as well. Typing my notes doesn't...

  3. finger callus prevention

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so far, I know this seems like a silly problem but it's really irritating! I learn best by writing and rewriting my notes in different ways. Do the Dr. Grip pens last a while? I usually buy the...

  4. advice please...

    MB37 replied to studentpaula's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely look at other schools in your area and see if you still have time to apply for this year. Go to the Illinois board of nursing website and they should list all programs with current and...

  5. What to do with my other degree.

    MB37 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a psych degree too, actually a double major with history, and I never did use it. I never really looked for a job though, I had a great bartending gig that paid a lot more than any entry-level...

  6. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    MB37 replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Heck no! The pay in FL is low enough as it is, and last time I checked cost of living was no excuse. Anyone try to buy/insure/pay taxes as a new home buyer in Tampa lately? I'm still a student, but I...

  7. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    MB37 replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, now that I've found that site I try to review all my professors, good or bad, just because it's nice to have any extra info out there. I might as well give back what I can and try to make it...

  8. What is an A&P Lab Exam Like?

    MB37 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school we take even our lab exams in the computer lab. We do no dissections and only had models for the skull. We just study diagrams and memorize locations of structures on 2d pictures. We had...

  9. How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    MB37 replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually looked up my school's retake policy after reading this debate. USF (S Florida) allows all of its students 3 retakes over the entire course of their college career, and only 1 for each...

  10. The Letter....Summer 07

    MB37 replied to armyvet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Galore, I also applied to USF's accelerated program. They don't look at apps until March 15 and they mail out letters the last week of March, per Ms. Beaney. It's the only program I applied to, but I...

  11. Do you get laughed at?

    MB37 replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't ever want to depend on one. It might raise your grade significantly or it might not, but I'd rather work my tail off for the best actual grade I can earn, and if I get a little help from a...

  12. How much is too much?

    MB37 replied to gogatsby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you still too young to be independent? I actually just checked at my school, thinking that graduating qualified you, but you have to be working on a masters/doctorate, not a second bachelor's....

  13. Do you get laughed at?

    MB37 replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got made fun of by a couple of girls in A&P I for "actually making flashcards." They snidely told me it was a waste of my time, since they had heard that he curves our grades at the end of the...

  14. What will you do....

    MB37 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only applied to one too - it's the only affordable BSN program in my area. They only look at GPA and I know mine should be good enough, but it changes every year so I have no guarantee until that...

  15. Need advice on what to wear to a RN interview!

    MB37 replied to Nursing4Sure's topic in Nursing Career

    My DH found a nice-looking (in my opinion) dark suit at an outlet mall before Christmas for $99. Try the cheap places if you can afford those, at least - he doesn't need them for work either, but you...

  16. Don't know what to do...

    MB37 replied to IAStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you currently on a wait list? Did you only apply to a first-come-first-serve school? It says small town Iowa as your location, are you willing to move? There are tons of schools nationwide with no...

  17. Taking an online class

    MB37 replied to Mamakidee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you ask anyone who's taken it at your school? Even go to ratemyprofessors.com and see if anyone mentions how they liked the online section. I took A&P I online and am taking II the same way...

  18. LPN to ARN or right to ARN

    MB37 replied to anthony5649's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about getting a CNA license, then working as many hours as you can while doing prereqs and going for your ADN immediately? Depending on your state, the LPN credits may or may not transfer over....

  19. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    MB37 replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read all the ratemyprofessors.com reviews of my class, and they all made my instructor sound awful - and we only have one choice. Just goes to show you how subjective those can be! I think our...

  20. How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    MB37 replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Occasionally there is a valid reason to retake a class - i.e. you enrolled in college immediately after high school, perhaps with a non-nursing major, and took a few classes that are now nursing...

  21. How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    MB37 replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools I and my friends have attended average grades with a repeat, or only allow one, or both. That seems to make sense. I took it once and got an A, so with hard work it definitely can be...

  22. How many hours do you study per day?

    MB37 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I consider all of my outside of class learning time studying. Reading, looking over, note taking, homework,

  23. How long is your commute??

    MB37 replied to FutureLatinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One recommendation unless you have to be home at certain times: go early/stay late and log a few hours in the library to avoid traffic. I get out of class at 4:45p, and if I leave then it takes me...

  24. How many hours do you study per day?

    MB37 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's hard to quantify hours, b/c I do study at work and in front of the TV in addition to actual "study time." I try to always read the chapter before class, then even though I print out the...

  25. How long is your commute??

    MB37 replied to FutureLatinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    30 min, and normally I'm going the opposite direction of rush hour
