  1. Nursing program accept online credit?

    MsCupcakes replied to hampmp1's topic in General Students

    It really does depend on the school. I considered taking an online A&P while out of the country, but neither of the programs I applied to accepted it. Some may, as long as it is not listed on...

  2. Will an EKG course be worth it?

    MsCupcakes replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Consider taking ACLS. It's a certification that would benefit you both as a nurse and an EMT, and they do cover basic EKG skills, as well as cardiac event management protocol. It's also good for two...

  3. HESI 2

    MsCupcakes replied to kaylamarie123's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I took the HESI twice - the first time I used several different study guides, and the second I used only the study guide from Evolve Elsevier, along with my textbooks from the sections I was weak on....

  4. Pharmacology

    MsCupcakes replied to stacycakesss's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken pharmacology for nursing yet, but I do have quite a bit of working pharmacy experience. The way that I learned the drugs was by applying a "whole package" approach to it. If you...

  6. UCCS Beth-El Nursing Program Entrance Chances?

    MsCupcakes replied to mariah90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would NOT recommend you apply to the program with those HESI scores. Last I heard, UCCS requires 80% or higher in each composite category, and above a 74% in each sub-category. Both your math and...

  7. Tips on Nursing School

    MsCupcakes replied to bdarden07's topic in General Students

    As far as your question about the HESI goes, I have taken it twice. I made the mistake the first time of not studying far enough in advance for the test, and using the incorrect study guide. I would...

  8. Restarting my college career

    MsCupcakes replied to jose2010's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Get ready to focus on getting the best grades possible. Consider looking into schools in your area that go off a pre-requisite GPA only, and offer grade forgiveness. Get ready to re-take those...

    MsCupcakes replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    Parakeet, I sent you a PM with some

  11. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    MsCupcakes replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College Programs

    I did notice when looking at the NCLEX pass rates for Colorado that DSN had one of the lowest pass rates in the state for BSN. Not to say it's a bad program; simply that some of the less expensive...

  12. Advice please on a/p and chemistry

    MsCupcakes replied to zemog2665's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since full-time and part-time use the same number of months on the GI Bill, have you considered doing the A&P and Chem and perhaps knocking out some other classes that you consider less...

  13. Should I purposely fail my class?

    MsCupcakes replied to Rilesss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check with the school to see exactly what criteria they are looking for in a student. For instance, one of the colleges I applied to looked only at pre-requisite GPA, while another looked at...

  14. How much did your nursing program cost overall? (LPN, ADN, BSN, etc.)

    MsCupcakes replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    My BSN at a public university, with in state tuition will cost about 60,000 by the time everything is finished. The nursing program itself is close to

  15. Pre-requisites and Applications

    MsCupcakes replied to Levitsa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would talk to the nursing advisors at the schools you are interested in. Sometimes they will accept another, higher course in lieu of their set pre-requisites. For instance, one of the schools I...

  16. How does one become a CRNA in the Navy, Air Force, or USPHS?

    MsCupcakes replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    I believe that USAGPAN does have a direct accessions program, but it is competitive and requires both an RN and critical care experience. However, that is Army, and I know you said you aren't...

  17. Picking a minor

    MsCupcakes replied to msannaa's topic in General Students

    I chose a Psych minor for two reasons. First, I needed extra classes to remain at full-time and my funding requires them to be part of a degree plan. Second, several of the pre-reqs for nursing...

  18. Grad. school GPA for second degree nursing (CO schools specifically)?

    MsCupcakes replied to courtknee's topic in Colorado Nursing

    While I can't speak to whether or not they will accept the GPA, I do know that all the UC affiliated colleges do not accept grade replacements or grade forgiveness. All the grades are factored into...

  19. Pre-reqs for ADN vs Pre-nursing for BSN

    MsCupcakes replied to svtolfea's topic in General Students

    By the time I was done with pre-requisites for the nursing program, I only needed two additional classes for an Associate's in General Studies. This is a third option, since some schools (usually...

  20. High School student looking for CNA training CA

    MsCupcakes replied to samtb's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As another poster said, check with your high school. I know one of the local ones here does a "Summer School" for teens interested in becoming CNAs in conjunction with the local community college....

  21. How to best prepare

    MsCupcakes replied to Trusty13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a few routes you can explore prior to ETS. The other posters' suggestions on studying up on medical terminology and A&P are spot on. You may want to see if there's an upcoming CPR...
