  1. Recent undergrad graduate but wants to pursue nursing

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to AlanxYu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take your sciences/prerequisites and kill them. Look for a school that only considers prerequisite GPA as an admission

  2. how competitive is it getting into nursing school?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to lynn_702's topic in General Students

    It's pretty competitve, but how competitive it is varies by school. The average accepted applicant for my CC has a 3.8

  3. Community or private school

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Selena_rose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely vote for a local community college over a private school. They are substantially cheaper and usually have higher NCLEX pass rates. That's not to say that you shouldn't go to a private...

  4. Creative Ways to get Experience?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zibbie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, working in a hospital is some of the best experience you can get. I wouldn't sweat it so

  5. Meaning of your username?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    Mine comes from what my email address was going to be for college before I was locked up in an unlicensed "troubled teen" facility and my aunt made me sign away a full tuition

  6. MA to LPN

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would you be able to pay your bills working part time? If so, it would probably be worth it to go the RN route. If you would have to work more than half time, it would probably be better to go the LPN...

  7. MA to LPN

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your financial situation and your ability to pay for school. Do you have someone to help you with bills while you're in school? Do you have kids? If you need to make more money...

  8. CNA to RN?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to ACShort's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't any tangible educational value of going from a CNA to RN, unless the school requires a CNA license to apply to their program. You're going to take the same classes as someone who never had...

  9. Chances of passing

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to belenj999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, the TEAS doesn't include Micro or A&P. It's general biology, chem, math, english, things like that. It's a high school level test, not a college

  10. Selection criteria help asap

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to mich.cm's topic in General Students

    You still haven't told us what you want us to do with the information you've

  11. Is college of the mainland any good?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to daisybird27's topic in General Students

    I would not be concerned at all about the physical appearance of the building. It doesn't affect the quality of your

  12. Choosing a University

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to hdegitz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Best buckle down and do

  13. ADN at community college , how does it work?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to nancy18.1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school has different criteria. You need to direct these questions toward the school. As far as "testing out," why don't you ask the people who administered the

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

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

    Are you working? Do you have any other personal commitments? Are you financially independent, or is someone helping you with living expenses? These factors are

  15. Excited and Optimistic :)

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't really do anything but read over the teachers' notes and powerpoints for A&P, but for Micro... That class was the hardest class I have ever taken and I have a prior bachelor's degree. I...

  16. Graduating while pregnant

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Dcb_16's topic in General Students

    I would definitely take the NCLEX soon after graduation. You don't want to get rusty. Other than that, I wouldn't worry about the long-ish gap. If you're asked, just tell prospective employers why you...

  17. Student Hours?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to sydeysops's topic in General Students

    OP has already asked the school and gotten a vague referral to where the information they need isn't even located. OP, you need to ask the school again and state that the hours are not posted on the...

  18. I'm starting to think this field attracts a lot of crazy people

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to swirlies's topic in General Students

    I have to disagree with the whole "running into jerks all day" saying. That is a version of argumentum ad populum. I've been around long enough to know that you can run into a whole crap load of...

  19. Is college of the mainland any good?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to daisybird27's topic in General Students

    Are they accredited? How expensive is it? What is their attrition rate? What is their NCLEX pass

  20. I feel weird to wear scrubs to school

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to mndlng97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. If you go to school and can't go home to change between school and work, what are you to do? Even if they do believe that, that's their problem, not yours. It would be different if they asked if...

  21. Second Degree Seeking Student

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to taypas's topic in General Students

    It really depends on what criteria the school uses and how the average accepted applicant falls with regards to those criteria. In my experience, having a previous bachelor's doesn't matter very much....

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to mich.cm's topic in General Students

    What do you want us to do with this information? Have you heard of the words "please" or "thank

  23. Anyone else almost done with pre-reqs FOREVER?!

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to go to a private grad school when I moved states, but it didn't work out so I circled back around to doing nursing. I had to wait a year for in state tuition because I could not afford...

  24. Thinking about quitting (yes, one of these)

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to aperry245's topic in General Students

    There is more to nursing than just acute

  25. BSN vs RN...is it worth the tuition difference? I already hold a BA if that matters

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Mkakids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, go the ADN route and then bridge to your BSN. It's what I'm doing as a second degree student. Especially since hospitals in your area are hiring ADN prepared RNs. Even if not, it would make more...
