  1. Hello everyone! Forgive my enthusiasm. I visited the counselor today and got great news about most of my CA prereqs transferring in. I'm beyond ecstatic at this second chance I've been given. I...
  2. Has anyone in here been an ER scribe?

    If your friend is set on being a PA, then I think you should be encouraging. I was a scribe for a while when I was still pursuing premed. I was making $10/hr in Northern California in 2012. It wasn't...
  3. French vs. Spanish

    It depends on where you live, the school(s) you plan on applying to/attending, and/or where you plan on working. I'm a California native who recently relocated to Florida. I majored in French. Unwise...
  4. Being a pre-med is so overated

    There are plenty of low GPA/low stats med students on SDN seeking admittance. I always found it funny how even some of those students still managed to be arrogant not only towards the nursing...
  5. Being a pre-med is so overated

    You won't find nurses sticking up for themselves on a doctor forum and they shouldn't really. How many doctors are here on AN? I was on SDN when I was pre-med. A lot of them can be arrogant. If you...

    Thanks so much for the tips!
  7. fat in nursing school

    I lost 40lbs between 2014/2015 and have managed to keep it off. Initially, I was working out daily, but, quite frankly, I hate going to the gym. You might find me there 1-2x a month lol. I'd rather do...
  8. Do your teachers round up grades?

    Depends on the professors. Most of mine did
  9. When are you officially a nursing student?

    Precisely to the bolded. I don't know why anyone who isn't in a program would lie and say they're X student though. The people who feel a need to say they're nursing students when they're in English...
  10. When are you officially a nursing student?

    They were accepted into a nursing program right? Hence, the nursing student designation.
  11. When are you officially a nursing student?

    I guess I don't see the gray because there's the designation of pre-nursing. Most schools have nursing majors/programs that require an application separate to the university, or at least that's how it...
  12. When are you officially a nursing student?

    I never told people I was a nursing major when I was taking prereqs because I wasn't accepted into a nursing program. Simple. All of us in the pre-nursing track (or pre-med/bio, pre-law, pre-health...
  13. Galen So far

    @nursehopeful0626 exactly! Being proactive is key, and not just at this school, but any. I was apprehensive initially and first went to the campus a little defense. So far, they've given me absolutely...

    Is there a Facebook group or something where Galen students buy used books from each
  15. I can't say which specific topics were covered in Physics. It's far from my best subject and I felt I didn't need to study it too much because I hardly encountered it in any of my practice material...
  16. You're welcome. I thought the math section was the easiest. I had a lot of chemistry and physics questions too. I hardly saw any of the topics I studied for. Physics is my poorest of the sciences and...
  17. Galen So far

    My enrollment appointment was yesterday, so I'm now enrolled for my first quarter. I'm taking 7 credits total (Intro to Lit [4], Info Tech for Nurses [2], and Student Success [1]). I was hoping they'd...
  18. How many questions did you complete on the reading and science sections? Sounds like you struggled with time management. With the passages, I read each of them once, making sure to understand the...
  19. Finished nursing school today!

    Thanks! Totally worth it indeed! And I sure will.
  20. Finished nursing school today!

    I have no stories. I start my first quarter of nursing school in a few weeks. Just wanted to give you a congratulations and wish you the best of luck on the NCLEX.
  21. Galen So far

    I took my prereqs 4-6 years ago, so I was a little worried. The NLN study guide and McGraw-Hill app helped me loads. One of the advisors told me about the scrubs changing to navy. That rocks. It's one...
  22. Galen College Tampa Class 2016

    I got the acceptance email yesterday. :) I'm expecting a call from them once they're done with my transcript review to make an appointment for enrollment. Have you done all your paperwork
  23. Galen Tampa Fl July 2016

    That's hilarious lol. Well, I can stop stressing now. My acceptance email came in this morning. RN, here we come.
