  1. Bombed Out!

    crazydoglady89 replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you expected to have read a chapter? I read all my chapters before listening to any lectures. My nutrition prof for example tests almost exclusively on the book material, even though he DOES have...

  2. Bombed Out!

    crazydoglady89 replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's interesting you are failing quizzes but not exams. Assuming your exams aren't open book/are similar to quizzes, there has to be something awry here. Are your quizzes testing a different body of...

  3. Worried about my chances.

    crazydoglady89 replied to Jessica1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand what the issue is. Your grades are excellent. You only need a min of 2.7 to apply. Did you give us a typo? Why are you "worried" about your chances? Why wouldn't one just apply...

  4. What do I do

    crazydoglady89 replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should never do anything to "appease" your family, especially when it is as significant as your livelihood. Go for it! I'll be around 30 when I graduate. I like to say on here that if you are...

  5. One class per semester?

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

    Ahh, I just assumed OP was talking about pre reqs. HOWEVER, at a CC by me, there are both daytime and evening sections. ADN program tends to be less credits (nothing to turn your nose up at,...

  6. One class per semester?

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

    Of course, a LOT of people take their pre reqs this way! I'm not sure if you are mainly take 1 class at a time due to monetary reasons (or the fact that you work full time I assume), but I take 2...

  7. Is 90k in loans worth my BSN?

    crazydoglady89 replied to raeelynn's topic in General Students

    I can't imagine ever taking a loan out on a car, never mind a loan for 30k. Just because the Smith's and Joneses make crap choices doesn't mean anyone else should. It's not worth

  8. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    crazydoglady89 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    If you read on the previous page, I commented and told you how much sacrifice it took of 3 years of living like a college student on a salary much higher than a nurses at 120K in student loans. What...

  9. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    crazydoglady89 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    Still the better choice. Do you know how daunting 90k is over your head? Especially being single and not making at least

  10. Accelerated BSN?

    crazydoglady89 replied to mbailey44's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. My hopeful program has a 3.0 minimum for overall and science GPA, however most people have a 3.6+ in the pre reqs. Your grades seem really good! I'd say you have a...

  11. Is 90k in loans worth my BSN?

    crazydoglady89 replied to raeelynn's topic in General Students

    No, it's not worth 90k, unless you guys are wealthy and have that sitting in the bank to pay cash. Even then, I'd say it's almost a very bad idea still. 2 semesters to complete pre reqs is pretty...

  12. i am not smart, still should i take a nursing program?

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

    Honestly, unless you have a learning disability (and even then, a lot of it can be worked), it will come down to hard work. This is anything in life, not just nursing school. There are a few gifted...

  13. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    crazydoglady89 replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    Maybe I missed something, but I'm going to take a stab. In short, NO. I wouldn't do this. Can you not take your pre reqs 1-2 at a time (I take mine two at a time online) while you are working? You...

  14. Pre-requisites (A&P)

    crazydoglady89 replied to bdarden07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but you said your school allows two attempts. Is this your second attempt?....EDIT: I just read you dropped and it counted. How are your other grades? Do your...

  15. Science classes

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

    I'm a financial analyst (NO science background) currently taking my pre reqs while working more than FT hours and volunteering. If I can do it you can do it. I'm not especially gifted other than the...

  16. A&P Prep?

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

    It is difficult but completely doable if you are disciplined and keep up with the work. I wouldn't bother studying yet. Studying ahead personally "burns" me, but that'll be up to you once the class...

  17. Usf fall 2016

    crazydoglady89 replied to Kyla21's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'll be applying to the ABSN program this year. My overall GPA will be around a 3.64, while my pre reqs are holding steady at a 4.0. I hope I can get an

  18. Can I still be a nurse?

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

    I won't hammer what has already been posted - you won't realistically be an effective provider at all (if you can even go through school) if you do not vaccinate. There are literally millions of jobs...

  19. Online A&P Advice

    crazydoglady89 replied to pinky77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Krebs cycle was one of those things I accepted I just wasn't going to "get".

  20. Lifespan Psych - an observation

    crazydoglady89 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not really sure why you expected to learn communication from a psych class. It seems you didn't really read the course syllabus, or maybe this is your first psych class so you weren't sure what...

  21. Anyone make it into nursing school with a C in Anatomy?

    crazydoglady89 replied to cjens27's topic in General Students

    I'm currently in pre reqs as well. While I don't have children, I am married and working more than full time hours. My big "secret"? I study whenever I can, wherever I can, even if it's for 10...

  22. Online A&P Advice

    crazydoglady89 replied to pinky77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm thinking written homework is more of a rarity in online classes simply because they contain more students than a regular class, so the teacher likely doesn't want to deal with 300 assignments. In...

  23. I'm 22 with a BSc in Biology but want to do nursing..is it too late?

    crazydoglady89 replied to Zipporah2's topic in General Students

    Too old? You gotta be kidding me. All your friends are "well into" their careers? Unless your friends are all in their 40's, I think that statement is a bit dramatic. It's not too late and you...

  24. In my feelings

    crazydoglady89 replied to Shanella25's topic in General Students

    3 years will FLY by. 22 is young. I'm 26, and I remember thinking I was "getting old" when I graduated with my first degree at 21.Life has put me through a lot in my few years since then. Your life...

  25. Online A&P Advice

    crazydoglady89 replied to pinky77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your teacher, I think. I am taking ALL my pre reqs online (I work more than FT, and the classes even at the local CC would require me to basically quit my job, so it's a no go)...
