  1. Questions to ask when looking at a school?

    MB37 replied to Jax3683's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NCLEX pass

  2. My poor instructor!

    MB37 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both of my classes last semester were full of whiners. My psych prof actually took the whole class session after each exam to go over each answer with us and explain why the answer was what it was,...

  3. Did You Guys Pay Too Much Tuition Too?

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

    To the OP, is LVN your only option? It seems like for that much money you should at least get a higher degree/better paying job at the end of it. My mother always told me never to borrow more for an...

  4. Question about plasma and starvation.....

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

    http://www.nih.gov can be pretty helpful with any medical questions, and you know you're getting info from a reliable

  5. Second Assc Degree?

    MB37 replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in General Students

    You can get more federal loans unless you have already borrowed the maximum regardless of how many degrees you have (so far as I know, at least). It's the grants that they make you ineligible for. If...

  6. Test out of certain classes?

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

    I keep hearing "CLEP" - what does that stand for? I started college in 1997 and never hear that word before. I passed out of many classes by taking AP and IB tests, is this

  7. What is the best study method? To cram or not too cram?

    MB37 replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I am a reformed crammer. I'm still only in my last semester of prereqs, but I took micro a couple semesters ago. When I got my first degree, I rarely cracked a book until 2-3 days before an exam, and...

  8. Do you think grades are universal?

    MB37 replied to Mom2J&B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't really understand the "debate" over CC vs. university. I have attended 4 different universities, and all have had different requirements and standards. Within each university there were good...

  9. Potential Future RN...

    MB37 replied to gatorgrad06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Big question to ask: do they look at your cumulative GPA or only your prereq GPA? I would guess that especially CCs look more at the prereq GPA. I know USF in Tampa, where I am planning on going,...

  10. A&P II Club, 2007

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

    According to my book, olfactory receptors and basal cells are two distinct types of cells. That eliminates B, D, and E. They are bipolar which is not the same thing as multipolar (that's in our intro...

  11. Trouble Entering Nursing School - Help

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

    Are you stuck in one city or can you move? Most states have several programs, including public university and CC and private schools. Even if you want a BSN, don't rule out ADN programs - if you can...

  12. balance b/w home life and school

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

    I just keep thinking about the maid service I'm going to hire when I graduate and can afford it...otherwise, keep up with laundry and dishes, do the bathrooms as often as I can, and praise DH...

  13. New here....still in decision phase, need guidance

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

    I don't live in your area, but I do think you should definitely look into accelerated programs. In many cases they actually take less time than ADN programs even. The prereqs will be similar for every...

  14. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

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

    Nutritional Sciences - McGuire and

  15. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

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

    I applied about 3 months ago, but our applications aren't due until March 15 for a May start. They only look at GPA, so it doesn't take long to process the aps. Hopefully we'll hear by the end of...

  16. What's worse than having a strict grading range?...

    MB37 replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still a pre-nursing student, but I've attended 4 different schools. One used pluses and minuses (only up to A), two did not use them at all, and my current school it is up to the teacher's...

  17. Lunch and Dinner Breaks

    MB37 replied to AussieKylie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a student who also works, but my DH and I have virtually stopped eating lunches out. It saves so much money and is so much better for you. I do cook throughout the week,...

  18. A&P II Club, 2007

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

    Wow, some of you still haven't started? Our semester started 1/8 and I already had my first A&P II exam this morning. We have 5 throughout the semester. This was on CNS and PNS, the next is ANS...

  19. Applying to nursing school before finishing your pre-reqs

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

    At my school the stated policy is that you must complete all prereqs prior to application, which means you sit out a semester or take electives. However, when I actually talked to the director of...

  20. My school seems to be different....what admission req. do you have to complete?

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

    My first nursing school, for a BSN program, did not have as many prereqs. I had to take some university requirements - sociology, american government, etc., and I had taken my math and english for a...

  21. Majoring in something non-science/non-nursing related

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

    As long as you take - and do well in - the prereqs the rest of your transcript really does not matter. Most of us 2nd degree people had no clue we wanted to be a nurse when we got our first degree. I...

  22. Accelerated BSN

    MB37 replied to saral_123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you already have a BS, and already have the majority of your prereqs done, I probably wouldn't do just an RN program unless you know the school in your area is better or unless cost is a major...

  23. Out of state tuition rant

    MB37 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I moved to Florida on Dec 29, 2005 as a result of hurricane Katrina. My husband and I lived in New Orleans until then and even for a few months after the evacuation was over. I applied to USF in Tampa...

  24. Out of state tuition rant

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

    Exactly! They told me the same thing! I didn't apply for aid since I can afford in-state tuition. When they still hadn't bothered to process my request, they said, "well, just pay the fees, and then...

  25. Out of state tuition rant

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

    My husband can show continuous employment from 2005 in Florida, but apparently that's not enough. HE never went and got his Florida DL, which I know you're supposed to do within a certain # of days,...
