  1. Am I crazy???

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

    Did you ask a counselor/adviser at either school what they thought? Are you really taking both A&Ps at the same time right now? I think your current courseload sounds like a bit much as well, but...

  2. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    MB37 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I read the OPs post like cyberkat - that it would grandfather in existing ADN/Diploma nurses, but require new grads of an ADN program to complete RN-BSN bridge within 10 years. That actually sounds...

  3. Hodgepodge of credits

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

    As long as they're all from reputable, accredited colleges/universities it's not a problem. I'm on my fourth school now, not by choice but because life happens. If you were dismissed from a school or...

  4. Shorthand, Speedwriting, Speedreading-Help!

    MB37 replied to Healer_at_Heart18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A couple of hints from a fast writer, although I never took a speedwriting class: make up abbreviations and/or symbols - you should never write out filler words like and or with, and a lot of common...

  5. low income---> chance to go to a university

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

    I would keep your grades up right now, and make sure that the CC you are taking classes at right now transfers to the local universities. They usually do, but just make sure. If you're already taking...

  6. Micro before A&P?

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

    Have you taken any bio at all? My school required intro chem and bio as prereqs for micro, and then micro was a prereq for A&P. It could be different in your part of the country, but our A&P...

  7. Class Schedule...need opinions

    MB37 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your school allows you to take II before I, I would go ahead and do it. Just because most programs do it in one order doesn't mean it's right for you. If it's normally allowed, and not you getting...

  8. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

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

    Silly me, I've been taking two classes at a time while working b/c each science was a prereq for the next. I can't wait until I can get into the nursing program and have to quit my job so I can study...

  9. Competition . . . Competition . . . Competition!!!

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

    My school accepts less than 10% of applicants, but at the info session she said the majority have a lower GPA than they know they need. The regular upper division admission doesn't usually take below...

  10. Takin' classes ...

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

    While working, I have taken two classes/semester, always one lab science with one other class (government, soci, etc.). Depending on your schedule and how many prereqs your program requires, try to...

    MB37 replied to ConfusedStudent3's topic in Florida Nursing

    Where in Florida are you? At USF where I am going to school, they have a "first time in college" program for high-achieving high school students. I don't know the specs, but if you're anywhere near...

  12. will this kick me out of nursing school?!

    MB37 replied to jennystudent00's topic in Nursing Career

    I had a DUI before I was even 21 - but was an adult. It was expunged as a first offense b/c I pled no contest and have not been arrested since. This was in Louisiana. My application to LSU nursing...

  13. new to the site, HELP!

    MB37 replied to Cindywood's topic in Nursing Career

    I have a good friend who did an ADN program with a two year old and a husband who worked graveyards. She didn't really work while in school - picked up maybe two bartending shifts a month - and they...

  14. How does the Lottery work?

    MB37 replied to phoenix72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school we are not allowed to talk to a nursing advisor/counselor/anyone from the CON until we first attend one of the info sessions or are admitted to the school. If you ask any questions, they...

  15. Nutrition

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

    Actually, I just went to ratemyprofessors.com, and everyone on there said DO NOT take this class online. So I didn't I'll deal with 8:30, it's only once a week. I'll keep A&P online, that's how I...

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

    Flash cards, flash cards, flash cards. Print out pictures, white/black out the names of structures/bones/etc, and glue them to index cards. Put functions, origin/insertion, whatever else on the back....

  17. Nutrition

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

    I have to take nutrition next semester, so I thought I'd read these posts and see how it was going for everyone so far. Here's my question: I have to register tomorrow, and my choices are either to...

  18. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

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

    My brother was a C student, and he started off at a major university. He made Cs, hated it, and dropped out after one semester. He took one off, moved back in with my folks, and started at the local...

  19. Am I crazy?

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

    You need to talk to an adviser at the school, sooner rather than later. At my school they hold an information session on getting into nursing school once a week. Requirements vary SO much from school...

  21. Perfect time to have a baby

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

    Thanks so much, everyone who replied. It's not that I feel like I have to do it now, it's that I don't want to keep waiting until the time is "right." I need to have my annual exam in November...

  22. please help me ppl :(

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

    Only a thought - once you know for sure what the requirements are in your area, what LVN programs are, etc., most colleges also offer amnesty. Even if they won't let you retake a C, they may let you...

  23. please help me ppl :(

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

    The most important thing to do is to do a little research on what the schools in you area require. Look at public university, CC, and private. Some places have wait lists, and as long as you have the...

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