    jaysma replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad Memphis isn't as bad as you had heard. Dh's brothers and sisters (all 9 of them!) live in Memphis so we're down there at least once a month. My SIL is an RN at Methodist and can't wait for me to...

    jaysma posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking my pre-reqs in order to apply to the ADN program July 06. I'm in Beginning Algebra along with 5 other pre-nursing majors (class of 17) and I feel like I'm the only one really serious about...

  6. Average GPA?

    jaysma replied to twoanddone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ADN program at my school goes strictly on your NLN test scores. I was considering retaking a couple of classes that I didn't do so well in 10 years ago, but my advisor (who works in the nursing...

  7. Pre-Req. Question

    jaysma replied to SuccessSW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for asking this question because I've been wondering about this myself. At my school A&P 1&2 are required of course, but General Biology isn't. I had thought about taking it next summer...

    jaysma posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a test tomorrow & I'm stumped on this question out of the study guide. What is $6800 at 4% compounded monthly for 9 months? I have 6800(1+.04/12)12x.75exponent 6800(this is where I have...

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

    Well I got my test back today. First of all, the teacher walks into the classroom and tells us (class of 32 students) that in her 7 years of teaching she has never seen a class do so poorly on chapter...

  14. Newbie Here!

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

    The lady I spoke to worked in the nursing dept. When I said test, I meant the NLN exam. Sorry I was unclear. I'll keep thinking about it, but after what she said today, I'm leaning towards just...

  15. Newbie Here!

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

    Thanks for the welcome :) I talked to my advisor this morning and she told me that the nursing program looks at your total GPA, but they just make sure it's above a 2.0 GPA. She also mentioned that...

  16. Needing help with a math problem...

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

    That's what my instructor said this morning when I asked about it. We're allowed to use calculators, but not scientific ones, which I guess is good since no calculators at all can be used on the NLN...

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

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

    I used Excel and got the correct answer, but I can't figure how to work it out. This is the formula, if it helps any- A=P(1+R/N)NxT (exponents) A= Accumulated amount of $ P= Principle (what you...
