    Quizzed in Clinical

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in General Students

    Can someone give me some examples of how they were quizzed during clinical? Have you ever been wrong or not known the answer? I hear a lot of stories about bad experiences people have had with...

    Low GPA

    oldsockventriloquist replied to wangduep's topic in General Students

    That's still only two schools, Stony Brook University and Utica College. I would really consider regular BSN programs, especially if there is a major difference in tuition per semester/quarter. I...

    Low GPA

    oldsockventriloquist replied to wangduep's topic in General Students

    The first thing I would do is go on here - CCNE - Accredited Programs - and select your state. If, for example, you live in New York, there are 45 accredited BSN programs. So, if you've applied to one...

    CRNA vs NP vs PA

    oldsockventriloquist replied to STICRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say try shadowing someone in each specialty, rather than asking people on this website what the pros and cons of each career are. See if there are other units that have PAs and NPs. If they do...

    Help...devasted

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Mrsnurse2b10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the posters above. Restudy for the test, since it is a requirement for many nursing programs, and consider a more advanced nursing degree, in the form of an ADN or BSN, unless you have a...

    MSN, $60-$75K, worth it?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to peanutfish's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This brings up a great point! I know you mentioned certain lenders, but this is especially applicable to federal aid. You can find more information on federal aid for graduate loans here: Subsidized...

    Commute

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in General Students

    How was your nursing school commute? Were there any ways you made your commute easier? Did you try different ways to avoid traffic? How bad was parking for

    Only taking 2 classes in first semester. Bad idea?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to leehyeri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you taking human anatomy, without taking general biology and general chemistry? Did you take AP courses in high

    oldsockventriloquist replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    Most of the answers on here have not been particularly helpful. You first talk about how you are struggling with chemistry and list three low grades throughout the semester/quarter. My initial...

    Got into nursing school with a TEAS score lower than 65%

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Animalsrock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I assumed from your first post that you had taken all your prerequisites and had received a TEAS score less than 65%. So, if the program only requires proof of enrollment, I would see how much...

    Commute

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    That must have taken awhile to get there by mule. On a serious note, how early were you waking up for clinical, if it was first thing in the morning? Hopefully, you didn't have your clinicals on...

    Waking Up For Class

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in General Students

    My nursing classes are very early in the morning for clinical. Does anyone have any tips for waking up early? Did anyone get roommates to live close by to school? What was your routine and did it ever...

    Waking Up For Class

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    I'm wondering if I should use those extremely loud alarms on the opposite side of the room. Did anyone drink coffee in the morning to wake

    How many programs have you applied to?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I had to do it over, I would have applied to a few more BSN programs, many of which would have been easy to apply to on NursingCAS or through a school's online or mail-in system. I would suggest...

    Got into nursing school with a TEAS score lower than 65%

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Animalsrock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why wouldn't you just work on your weak sections, take a few practice exams to see if you're ready, and then retake the exam? I feel this would be more practical than trying to be the exception to who...

    How do I know what school to attend?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Futurern1030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to have a bachelor's degree to go through an accelerated bachelor of science in nursing (ABSN). Do you have one? How far along are you on your nursing prerequisites? What schools have you...

    Did anyone have to relocate for nursing school?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    I'd also make sure you have a good plan with financial and private loans. I'd ask other classmates (maybe the school has an email list) that have had to move about what you should

    Nursing as 2nd bachelor at Chamberlain

    oldsockventriloquist replied to kriziaelora1992's topic in Chamberlain College

    Before you start the program, I would really be asking local employers what they think about Chamberlain College of Nursing and if it is even accepted by employers in your state. From doing some...

    Worried about my chances.

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Jessica1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well first, you need to figure out if you meet the minimum requirements. If the 2.7 GPA requirement applies to all college courses (or your science GPA, which I have seen in a very small number of...

    Pre-nursing student seeking advice: MA vs CNA?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to H.marie's topic in General Students

    I will say that it does depend on the program. Some programs do require that you have a CNA certificate, prior to starting the program. Make sure you meet all the requirements of a program, so that...
