1. Being a pre-med is so overated

   floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

   only 40% of pre meds get to med school there really is no second chance besides reapplying and retaking it, so the fact that 60% of pre meds don't matriculate should speak enough that all of them...

   is there a way to delete posts?

3. Being a pre-med is so overated

   floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

   it doesn't make sense to compare the two since the Hesi is an exit exam and the MCAT is an entrance exam (and in no way saying the USMLE is comparable to the NLCEX lol) and I definitely do know the...

4. Being a pre-med is so overated

   floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

   That's a very big generalization to make especially since at lots of universities the nursing schools are far more competitive than the generic BS in biology. It is lame that many pre meds use this...

5. Being a pre-med is so overated

   floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

   I pointed this out to someone actually, like i don't understand why they assume pre meds are the smartest kids on campus with the toughest lives like it's not a competition??? our nursing school is...

6. Difficulty of nursing school?

   floatingribs replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

   I'm actually doing the best in my science courses like A&P I-II and biochem but did worse in my nursing classes b/c I guess they were more writing based? So I think it's really dependent on what...

7. Feeling a little down about taking a summer class

   floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   summer courses don't last the entire summer either so you'll still have time to relax

8. male nurses

   floatingribs replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

   And yall not going to address the fact that when males enter nursing they just rise the ranks far quicker. The glass elevator in nursing is definitely there and this post is so sexist

9. Ways to ensure a med-surg job after graduation

   floatingribs posted a topic in General Students

   I'm currently a freshman in a BSN program but I really want to make sure I get a job in a med-surg specialty after graduation. Most of them require at least two years of experience though and there...

10. A&P II in a 6 week summer session?

    floatingribs replied to RBFNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problemo :) And really it depends on the professor, one of my professor based all her classes on slides so it was sufficient to study from them, but if there's one thing specific about summer...

11. Anatomy & Physiology and Chem 1 at the same time?

    floatingribs replied to mpjvj's topic in General Students

    Do it! I'm taking A&P II with organic biochem (which is absolutely terrible when the last chem class you've taken is in hs and you're expected to have basic knowledge in organic chemistry) and...

12. A&P II in a 6 week summer session?

    floatingribs replied to RBFNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally found A&P II to be more tedious than A&P I but if that's the only class your taking it shouldn't be tough to manage at all. I've taken harder classes while working part time and...

13. what is pre nursing considered?

    floatingribs posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've heard mixed views on this but are pre nursing students ones who are going to apply to the nursing program or is it also freshman and sophomore in a direct BSN program (I'm a freshman in a...

14. when you feel creeped out

    floatingribs replied to menot's topic in General Nursing

    I only volunteer in an ER atm (I'm a nursing student) and this one guy always requests female PAs and Nurses to give him exams (they call him a frequent flyer). I had to get a signature from and one...
