  1. BS to BSN/DNP programs?

    crazydoglady89 replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ASN vs BSN is an entirely personal decision at this point and varies greatly on a lot of levels. The perk of an ASN, at least in my area, is that it is more easily accomplished if you have a family...

  2. Are you going for BSN or ASN?

    crazydoglady89 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already have a BS, so the pre reqs for me are almost exactly the same for ASN or BSN at this point. ABSN is my absolute first choice of course, but I will take and be happy about being accepted to...

  3. How to know if you have a chance?

    crazydoglady89 replied to ctaylar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure this varies greatly from year to year, which is why it might be hard to find an "average" nursing student. For example, the ABSN I am shooting for requires a 3.0 minimum in all pre reqs and...

  4. Anxiety Disorder - Can I Do It?

    crazydoglady89 replied to nursinggirl1818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anxiety can and should be treated with more than just an RX. I am not your doctor clearly, but I have been through therapy for anxiety and depression. The therapy got me to a functional level. Not...

  5. How far out from applying are you?

    crazydoglady89 replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have ONE MONTH left of micro and human bio. ONE MONTH! Then I have to wait a whole other month for the summer '17 application to open. I'm twitching you

  6. Staying in Program at the Expense of Happiness?

    crazydoglady89 replied to em1236's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You say you are very far from home. Are you a commuter? If your commute is less than an hour or so on most days, I would stick with it. If you are just far away from home and miss your family, I...

  7. I GOT IN!

    crazydoglady89 replied to alexisbj's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to you and nice work on pushing through. A lot of people throw their hands up in the air and quit if they have to wait or take additional courses. You stayed the course, and will now...

  8. Smoking Nurses

    crazydoglady89 replied to broobrum58's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As someone else said, nurses are just like anyone else who smokes. I do not currently work in a healthcare setting, but I do work in a business park that is mostly healthcare offices and I see a LOT...

  9. TEAS VI Study Package Price?

    crazydoglady89 replied to gsalas1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My only guess is that, like anything else, there's a larger demand for the study materials right now. They can probably get away with charging the higher price because there is likely a surge of...

  10. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    crazydoglady89 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I will :::knock on wood::: be just turning 28 when I start an accelerated program, 29 when I

  11. How many programs/schools are you applying to?

    crazydoglady89 replied to micahg714's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying to 3 ABSN programs: 1 local to me and 2 in state, but not local at all. 2 RN/ADN Programs: 1 in the county I reside and the other 1 is next county over (just for fun, they don't take out...

  12. Should I Stay in School?

    crazydoglady89 replied to mbl2013's topic in General Students

    This is a HIGHLY personal decision. We can't pretend to know the facts surrounding your situation (and emotions). I am going to assume that your husbands assignments are somewhat unpredictable, if...

  13. Study help !!!!

    crazydoglady89 replied to prenursecourt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's been said here so many times, but studying a little bit every day with bio has REALLY helped me. I felt really overwhelmed with certain topics that were difficult for me, but found that studying...

  14. Less than 2.5 GPA. HELP!!

    crazydoglady89 replied to KPeeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have anything to add to the already great advice, but I just wanted to say that I am really impressed that you are pulling yourself out of your rut. A lot of people would just sit around and...

  15. I got paired with the dropout :(

    crazydoglady89 replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my junior/senior year projects in my business degree were partner or group work. I can't tell you how many times I was paired with lazy people or just plain no-shows. It's frustrating for...

  16. Picking a nursing school

    crazydoglady89 replied to Jfighty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you know you are moving since your husband has a new job, but his new job doesn't tell him where he is going? Or will you be moving independently of your husbands career move? I'm a bit confused....

  17. Financial Aid and $165,000.00 debt

    crazydoglady89 replied to Den1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure how much OP values our opinions considering they haven't come back, but... If I were you, I wouldn't be considering another degree right now. I would be working 3 jobs to get that loan...

  18. Progress in classes

    crazydoglady89 replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my last semester of pre reqs, so currently in Micro and Human Bio. Fifth week. I took my first Bio exam this past Saturday and I realized I'm 1/3 of the way done with this semester. Time is...

  19. Picking a nursing school

    crazydoglady89 replied to Jfighty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, why not just wait until you are settled to pick a

  20. **STRESSED** how to study for Foundations at UTA on campus

    crazydoglady89 replied to sydoo's topic in General Students

    I'm not in your program, but have you tried simply asking the professor how they recommend you direct your studies? Most of them will tell you to read the book of course...but many will say what to...

  21. Accelerated Programs

    crazydoglady89 replied to lynn_702's topic in General Students

    Unless your only ABSN option in the area is private/very expensive, I can't see why you WOULDN'T take this route. My friend with 2 children (already a BS degree holder in another field) DID end up...

  22. ATI TEAS 6 Advice and Recommendations!

    crazydoglady89 replied to rhodayyx3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  23. Anatomy & Physiology I & II online

    crazydoglady89 replied to tishalu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took API as a 14-15 week course and APII as an 8 week summer session online. My experience wasn't really that great. My professor was very lazy in that she simply assigned textbook reading, didn't...

  24. Should I take Intro to Stats this semester?

    crazydoglady89 replied to sryu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely wait, unless putting this off until next semester means you miss an application deadline. I was nuts in my first degree with my course load. I wouldn't do it again if I didn't have...

  25. Financing without grants

    crazydoglady89 replied to nutmeg2356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ....Why don't you just get your RN and get your BSN online MUCH cheaper (and possibly have an employer pay for it)? I get not wanting to get the RN if you could get the BSN, but financially 60k is...
