  1. Like everyone else here I need some advice.

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

    I don't have any healthcare experience either, and job availability and pay definitely figured into my choice. I do have friends who are nurses though, so I have been able to pick their brains a bit....

  2. Considering accelerated BSN-if i dont get in

    MB37 replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't say where you live, and of course whether you get in or not depends very much on your school's requirements. I have applied to the accelerated program at USF in Tampa. My first degree was a...

  3. found out my competition!

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

    My current school goes by GPA alone as well. It's not quite so tough, they tend to go as low as a 3.6-3.7. They get something like 800 applicants for their 24 spots, but it's a lot of people who are...

  4. High school transcripts (RANT!)

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

    I feel your pain. I had MAJOR difficculties getting my college transcripts out of three different New Orleans universities when I moved to Florida after Katrina. It wound up making me sit out a...

  5. Economics VS. Statistics

    MB37 replied to RN,BSN84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And statistics is required by most BSN programs, whereas econ would probably just fill a liberal arts/humanities requirement. I've taken micro and macro for my previous degree. Neither was a fun...

  6. What kind of study area do you have/use???

    MB37 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Students

    I don't have any room in my apartment to set up a study space - 2 people, 2 cats, a ton of stuff all over the place, and 800 square feet. I don't start NS until May, still wrapping up prereqs right...

  7. Math Help anyone!!!!

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

    I got x=0, is that right? Now I'm getting nervous about my own lack of recent math experience. I used to be a math geek, but it's been a while. I know the OP wasn't asking for an answer, but did...

  8. Going back to school and I feel DUMB!

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

    Also, remember that everything you learned before is probably still in your brain - you just haven't accessed it in so long that you forgot how. Taking a test without reviewing is a bad idea, but once...

  9. Ratemyprofessors.com?

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

    Like anything else on the internet, including advice people ask for on allnurses, you need the salt shaker handy. That being said, it's definitely a valuable resource as long as it's not your only...

  10. Does anyone have puppy or kitten that they care for while in Nursing school?

    MB37 replied to atwtrn's topic in General Students

    What is your living situation? House? Apartment? Live alone? Husband/roommates? If you live alone in an apartment it makes getting a dog much harder. Obviously is can be done, even during NS, but...

  11. Delaying Children until after nursing school.

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

    I know I would be nervous about waiting if I was 10 years older, but assuming I get accepted in March I'll be 29 when I graduate. DH is 10 years older than me, but I know that his age is less...

  12. How many people thought A & P was easy?

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

    A&P probably shouldn't be as easy as it is at my school, but my instructor spoonfeeds us exactly what is going to be on the test. He goes over a "study guide" in which he holds the test, reads...

  13. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

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

    She just posted our syllabus - our whole grade is three equally weighted tests. No assignments, no extra credit, no quizzes, no possible way to bring your grade up if you make a couple mistakes or...

  14. Thoughts on Apple's Mac

    MB37 replied to shippoRN's topic in General Students

    My father is an architect, and Mac tends to make better graphics programs (AutoCAD, i.e.). Therefore my family started off with an Apple IIc and stayed with the Apple/Mac family for the last 20 years....

  15. Don't know which nursing school route to take!

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

    I am doing the accelerated route myself, but it's 15 months at a public school paying in-state tuition. I am planning on taking out loans b/c I don't plan on working during the program - but for me...

  16. Perfectionism

    MB37 replied to orcagrrrl2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only B's I would beat myself up over now are the type from my first degree where I occasionally "settled" for a B instead of going the extra mile for an A. Some A's I didn't work very hard for,...

  17. What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    MB37 replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biology for me was a prereq for micro which was a prereq for A&P. However, I took micro in 2004 having last taken bio in high school in 1997. I took the AP test, so I had college credit for bio...

  18. Which pre-req's have you enjoyed?

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

    I actually enjoyed chemistry, and micro was my favorite class - tho also the hardest that I've taken so far. A lot of it felt like I was really learning something. A&P I've only take I so far, and...

  19. What's your schedule like next semester?

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

    I've already applied, and they admit in March. I have 3 remaining classes: English 1102 T/R 3:30-4:45pm Nutrition T 8:30-11:30am A&P II online Then I work every W, F, Sa, Su from 10-6. Fun fun...

  20. How's my class schedule plan????

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

    Sociology and psych together might also be really easy to get the information mixed up. If you're not math-strong I'd brush up before Chemistry, and I agree with the other poster who recommended maybe...

  21. Getting ahead or where do most people fail

    MB37 replied to Huscarl73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry too much about studying ahead. However, a lot of what I have heard is that acid-base balance and the kidneys are one thing that comes up all the time in nursing school and as an...

  22. Need advice on A&PI

    MB37 replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Correct me in I'm wrong, but it seems like most of us who took it last semester started off with the regions of the body, then did a chem and a micro review chapter(s), and covered histology (tissue...

  23. GPA question

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

    My school looks only at GPA when processing applications, and it's your cumulative GPA. You must report every grade received from every college attended. They do not put more weight on prereqs than...

  24. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

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

    I'm taking nutrition in this upcoming semester. 830-1130 on Tuesday mornings. I hate early mornings and blocked classes, but everyone said under no circumstances take it online if you like passing...

  25. Age and Returning for BSN/MSN

    MB37 replied to bshaw96's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be 28 when I start my accelerated BSN program in May. We'll all be at least 20 something, since we have to have a degree in something already. Where I am in FL, since you already have an RN, you...
