  1. Need advice on how to approach my pre-reqs

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

    While I'm aware that A&P is difficult (I'm done with those, so I get it!), I think you are safe to pair them with a less time consuming course such as nutrition or one of the psych courses. While...

  2. Second Degree Encouragement and advice please!

    crazydoglady89 replied to Determind2BCRNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chamberlain is not even CLOSE to being your "only" option. You seem to be more concerned about the time (a year isn't a long time for pre reqs. I know it sucks, but it's going to pass anyways). A...

  3. Summer Classes

    crazydoglady89 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The summer classes were so brutal but it was like ripping off a band aid. My term was 8 weeks instead of 15 (I think?). The hilarious thing is that I didn't even REALIZE it until I started the...

  4. Summer Classes

    crazydoglady89 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL yup, that has a lot to do with it. Congrats on your grades! I've maintained A's while working 50+ hours a week taking two classes a semester. I have micro and bio 1 next semester. Over summer I...

  5. How old is too old to safely practice?

    crazydoglady89 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it depends on YOU. I personally have seen many "older" providers for all sorts of things and they have all been pretty fine as far as I can tell. I think it's hard for a lot of people to be...

  6. pre reqs

    crazydoglady89 replied to Marysan767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I'm concerned, you HAVE to retake them. Depending on the requirements of your nursing program, you must have at LEAST C's. But you said your college doesn't care, so I guess you don't have...

  7. How did I do on the TEAS?

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

    What matters most is how you did compared to the average incoming class/cutoff of the programs you are applying to. And your other grades. If you are asking how you did compared to people on HERE,...

  8. Am I good enough??

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

    High school won't matter once you get into school. B students are fine. Many, many people are B students. I would say MOST folks don't get straight A's that you come across! With that being said,...

  9. Starting school at older age! :(

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

    This is exactly how I feel. OP, I'll be 29-30 by the time I graduate with my BSN. At first it was hard because I am in this weird place with my current career. I have 5 years experience as a...

  10. A&P2 and microbiology

    crazydoglady89 replied to msheather413's topic in General Students

    I think you'll be fine, especially considering it's a normal semester. I took two courses at once during a compressed schedule and it was REALLY tough, but I still got A's. I'm taking micro and bio...

  11. CNA, then What?

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

    You've received a lot of good advice about the CNA. :) As for being an NP "for the money" - just become an RN first and see if you enjoy RN work. They are two different jobs. I would also not enter...

  12. Pre-reqs completely online

    crazydoglady89 replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahh yes, all very good points. Nursing school pre reqs you would think are pretty universal, but at some schools they aren't. For example, I'd say 4/5 schools I was looking at will take a 3 credit...

  13. which school should I go to?

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

    Neither, go to a state school. Is private school your only

  14. Pre-reqs completely online

    crazydoglady89 replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Icy Willow, check out USF Tampa. They offer all the science pre reqs online, and are an in state school. I also know their ABSN accepts online pre reqs. I'm not sure about UNF, UCF, and UF but...

  15. Giving up my dog

    crazydoglady89 replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work more than full time hours outside the home. My husband is a PA who can be gone until 1 am from time to time. I am taking pre reqs in addition to my FT work... We have two dogs and I can't...

  16. Financing for ABSN degree with bad credit:(

    crazydoglady89 replied to Molly26's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is private school really your only

  17. SPC Fall 2016

    crazydoglady89 replied to Mel3levelstudent's topic in School, College Programs

    Just curious, did anyone apply from Hillsborough (or any county outside of Pinellas) and successfully receive an offer? I'm hoping for an ABSN program admission, but of course not discounting the...

  18. Low GPA from BIO degree.. Wants RN program, possible?

    crazydoglady89 replied to osinachi's topic in General Students

    You are going to have a hard time getting into most ASN or BSN programs with that GPA. Look at local schools in your area and ask to speak with an advisor regarding what you can do to get yourself...

  19. Overwhelmed

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

    It IS hard. I'm sure once you get to nursing school you will (or maybe not) find comfort in knowing there are going to be a lot of men and women in the program in similar situations as you. When my...

  20. Good Volunteering for Pre-Nursing Students?

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

    My situation is a bit different than yours (I work more than FT hours already and will not be quitting this job until I go back to school for monetary reasons), but I currently volunteer in hospice...

  21. Pre-reqs completely online

    crazydoglady89 replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, I think it's also crazy. HOWEVER, some online courses I have taken in the past were far too easy to cheat in. I took these courses at a very good public university. I personally believe you...

  22. Pre-reqs completely online

    crazydoglady89 replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to share I am taking ALL my pre reqs online through my local university. It's actually the uni where I am hoping to get my ABSN. The only con is some schools don't take online classes,...

  23. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    crazydoglady89 replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Can you not try it out for a few months and move closer if it works out for you? Do what you have to do. I would personally take this position if it is literally your ONLY choice to pay your bills,...

  24. Where to work as a pre-nursing student?

    crazydoglady89 replied to Gabriella06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've been given some great advice! If you are unable to find work in the medical setting you desire, I wouldn't discount volunteer work. I personally volunteer in hospice on Sunday mornings, and...

  25. How many programs have you applied to?

    crazydoglady89 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to 3 ABSN programs this winter, and 3 CC's. All are in state. My grades are great, however the ABSN programs are very competitive. I'm hoping to get into the ABSN in my city. I'm...
