  1. how to answer this question?

    ZoraNeale replied to futurefnp27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't recommend the initial response be about money. Nurse Practitioners spend more time with their patients compared to doctors because they are nurses first. Patient centered care is most...

  2. Everyone is failing out...

    ZoraNeale replied to Texasstudent0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about it. I heard the same from several students who didn't pass that it was impossible to not only pass but to pass with an A. I just finished the first semester of my ADN program and...

  3. How to ace nursing tests?

    ZoraNeale replied to Autumn99's topic in General Students

    How do you study? If you study to memorize, then that may be where the Cs come from. Try studying to understand the material and not just memorize it. Understanding the material in nursing school is...

  4. Tips for Scenario Based Interview Questions?

    ZoraNeale replied to nstudenttoRN24's topic in General Students

    I dreaded these until I figured out how to answer them. These types of interviews asked behavior based questions. The idea is that past behavior will predict future performance. They want to know how...

  5. 4 year vs 2 year

    ZoraNeale replied to Unseenchanges's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely. Do your research! Look at hospitals in the area that you would consider working in and see what their tuition repayment is like. All of the hospitals in my area pay for their nurses to...

  6. game plan after pre reqs are completed

    ZoraNeale replied to RainbowSprinkles's topic in General Students

    Hey! Congrats on finishing up your pre-reqs. I start nursing school in a couple of weeks and my journey sounds a bit like yours. I also have a bachelor's degree in another field (Psychology) and know...

  7. HESI-A2 Test Advice!!

    ZoraNeale replied to nursing5518's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! First let me start by saying don't stress! It is literally stuff you learned in grade school, middle school, and high school. You will be fine! I used the HESI-A2 study book found on Amazon. It...

  8. 4 year vs 2 year

    ZoraNeale replied to Unseenchanges's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am deciding to pursue my ADN and start in a few weeks. I chose this route because it is SO much cheaper, you finish quicker, can start working, and I can complete my BSN while my job pays for it....

  9. Am I overloading myself?

    ZoraNeale replied to Tehlpn05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be fine! I worked 50+ hours per week while taking my pre-reqs which often was up to 4 classes at a time in 8 week micro sessions so classes were super accelerated. Make sure you get a...

  10. I have no idea what path to take for finish school!

    ZoraNeale replied to hlpryor1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of any nursing program where you can go to work 8-5pm and attend classes. I don't even think many people in nursing school attempt to work due to how rigorous the coursework is. If you...

  11. What should I do when I ens up with a C in Anatomy ?

    ZoraNeale replied to Sophia Bui's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A C could possibly hurt your chances at entering a competitive nursing program. Some programs accept C's but I know that many prefer to see B's or A's. If I were you, I would try to pull B's and A's...

  12. How to get over cold feet about nursing school

    ZoraNeale replied to Beautifuldreams85's topic in General Students

    Doubting yourself is completely normal and it does not matter on the past you have. Doubt will at some point or another creep into our lives and tell us we can't do something and make us afraid of the...

  13. Passed NCLEX in 75 questions, and YOU CAN TOO

    ZoraNeale replied to JessJSU94's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  14. Finish AA before nursing?!

    ZoraNeale replied to JNV9211's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sound just like me. I played with the idea of nursing when I was around 21 or so but decided I couldn't do it and went ahead and pursued by B.S. in Psychology. The idea of nursing crept up again,...

  15. Applying to nursing schools

    ZoraNeale replied to Futurenurse2323's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is the rumor. I do know several people who got in with a GPA lower than yours. However, I know they tend to shy away from students who did not earn a B or better in their nursing pre-requisites....

  16. Applying to nursing schools

    ZoraNeale replied to Futurenurse2323's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eastern Kentucky University. It is their ADN

  17. Second time around!!! Help!!!

    ZoraNeale replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience with A&P has been mostly memorization. Memorizing is not the best way to retain information, but it will get you through an exam. I would suggest that you spend a lot of time in the...

  18. Do I have a chance in becoming a nurse with a low gpa?

    ZoraNeale replied to Hopefuldreamer1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not retake classes I earned a B in, but that is just me. Your GPA isn't bad, but it may not be competitive enough for the programs in your area. I would apply anyway and see what happens. My...

  19. Getting my ADN before BSN?

    ZoraNeale replied to forevermn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely ADN. That is the route I am going for multiple reasons. It is cheaper, there are less classes involved which equals less money, and my employer will pay for me to get my BSN once I have my...

  20. Applying to nursing schools

    ZoraNeale replied to Futurenurse2323's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, I wouldn't worry so much about your age. I wanted to be a nurse at 21 as well but knew that I was not mature enough to handle the demands of a nursing program. I am now 26, have just...

  21. Help! How can I pay for school?

    ZoraNeale replied to Hefziba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduate today with a B.S. in Psychology and was faced with this dilemma because I have exhausted all of my federal loan options. I decided to look at community colleges that were much cheaper where...

    ZoraNeale posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all! I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there applying to the EKU ADN program for Fall 2016. I am currently finishing up my BS in Psychology from EKU and taking my A&P pre-reqs...

    ZoraNeale replied to canoehead's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Definitely talk to someone. Whenever I feel like I am drowning and cannot handle certain things or need better coping mechanisms, I see a therapist. It

  25. RN to MSN no BSN

    ZoraNeale replied to Kcarter0430's topic in General Nursing

    I believe there are programs like this but they are hard to find. Louisville has an MSN program but it is not financial aid eligible. If you can afford it, you may want to start there. Also, I have...
