    Nature_walker replied to Mae637's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, Great plan on getting the pre-reqs at CC! If the CC has a info session for their nursing program I'd attend it if I were you. You'll be able to ask the school questions about what is needed to...

    Nature_walker replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Even a minute late at my school can get you written up. First time it is a verbal warning. After that a write up and after that, good bye from the program. We had a girl come one day late this term....

    I'm scared

    Nature_walker replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it, but like other PP said, you have to be willing to drop everything else. It is only one summer and then it is over. It will be hard, but it is possible to do. Good

    Nature_walker replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Like other have said, I would not be happy about being told that my faith is not good enough or that the OP felt I needed more education on the topic of her belief. I would be offended that my views...

    For Those of You Who Were Accepted Into BSN Programs With No CNA Experience

    Nature_walker replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I had no healthcare experience and I got into a ASN program. I'll graduate in May and then sit for the NCLEX. For us, it was all based on GPA from the pre-reqs. Good
