Nothing upsets me more when a pre-meds bashes the nursing profession. After hovering over the SDN site (student doctor network) I find that a lot of pre-meds thinks that nurses are below them when they are not even in med school yet! I just don't und...

I was looking into my CC ADN applicant requirements because I will like to apply to them as a back up program if I don't get into a BSN program. And what I found a little ridiculous was the fact they only required Microbiology, A&P I&II, ...

I have a summer class this year for Microbiology and none of my closets friends does as they all plan on going on many vacations together while I will be left out of it. My best friend even made fun of me that I won't be able to enjoy my summer fully...

So basically what the titles says is would something like an ABSN would give you the same competence as a traditional program? The reason I ask this is because my intended nursing program gives all students without a bachelors degree the option to do...

I'm sure I read the policy correctly: "All program applicants are required to to take the College's placement test. If the results of this examination indicate a need for developmental courses, these must be completed with "C" grades prior to Februar...

It was a graduate school?? This university is known for it's physical therapy and occupation therapy programs. And they did a 2+2 degree with the CC so a lot upper level undergrads transfered there. It makes perfect sense.

Though in fairness, this is my university's second year of having freshmans. In 2013 and the previous years before that they only enrolled juniors and seniors.

I know I can pass the reading and English because I tested really high on the ACT but I know I'm not good at math at all and I never have been. The only way for me to pass math is if it taught to me, not me teaching myself. But as the PP has said, it...

A new grad RN told me that if I don't mind going into the profession knowing that they can deal with poop on daily basis then nursing is for me. She even told me before I try to go any further and get into nursing school that I should look up fecal i...

I'm taking the prerequisite at my local CC and it will be my first time taking microbiology.

Is 700-1000 a lot of clinical hours?

It's a bsn program.

I could still appy for the spring but then I would have to until August 2017 to appl (then wait until the spring comes) instead this fall which extends my waiting period of a whole year 1/2 to get into the program. :/

Pre-nursing can take up to three years- maybe even four. It really sucks because pre-nursing students feel as their doing so much to become a nurse and since their on their journey to being a nurse, why not consider themselves a nursing student? I kn...

No. You can go to school anywhere and apply for your license in your preferred state. The good thing about the program I just recommended is that it is 16 month BSN and and cost about 20,000.

Look into Lakeview College of Nursing in IL

Why can't I like you comment? There's no like button.

@NurseGirl525 Lol really? That's cute. Oh and I was on the forum because I was talking to some pre-meds (2 guys) today in my college's gym. We were talking and they asked me if I was pre-med because I was in one of their Orgo class and I told them no...

It just irked me so much that I couldn't hold in it.

That's a nice way to look at it but I just felt that nurses couldn't really stick up for themselves on that site so the pre-meds could say whatever.

I tried to potst the link but it has to be improved by the moderator first.

Thank you for replying and I just typed in "nursing" on the pre-med forum. If you go through a lot of the threads you can see that being a doctor is always the answer compared to wiping buts.

Are you willing to locate to Illinois?

I'm 18 but I promise you that I'm not spoiled at all and this will be my first time having school in the summer and I'm not used to it.

It's just that I was hoping for a break from school until my nursing program dropped his bomshell on me and I had to change my route. Sorry if I sound like I value my social life over school (which I don't). School is my 1st priority and it will alwa...
