  1. Do I really need a tutor for the Pre-NLN entrance exam?

    emily34812 replied to PrinPringles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you really know if you need the tutor. Try some practice exams and see how you do. You also need to commit more to

  2. Only charting?

    emily34812 replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Wow that is a very sad way to view nursing. You do not see all they are thinking about and doing. And it's interesting to me you want to be a nurse but think you're above getting water for a patient...

  3. Whats the difference?

    emily34812 replied to B.23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An ASN and ADN are the same but an AAS would not qualify you to sit for NCLEX. Contact admissions to be more

  4. School/work balance advice needed!

    emily34812 replied to Jess_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are already an LPN, finding a per diem LPN job would definitely

  5. In need of study tips that won't fail!

    emily34812 replied to littlesunfl0wer's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I second the Anatomy Coloring Books. They're really helpful! I found that printing out blank diagrams and then labelling them also helped me. Pneumonics helped me a lot with the physiology part as...

  6. first nursing semester jitters

    emily34812 replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    I agree that printing out notes ahead of time and reading them always helped me. Have a snack and water bottle too. I also really highly recommend a planner. Make it your bible and write down...

  7. New nursing student mom

    emily34812 replied to perfectohno's topic in General Students

    Not a mom, but I nursing student that works a full time job on the side. I find that crock pot soups and casseroles and lasagnas can be your BFF as you can make them in larger quantities then...

  8. What's the best NCLEX app for your phone?

    emily34812 replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Students

    I love NCLEX Mastery. There's a free and paid version. Full price I believe is $30 but they often run sales for $15 or so and it is 100% worth that price. The content and the rationales are

  9. Why have you decided to become a NP and not a Doctor?

    emily34812 replied to Lightning90's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure why you have such a vendetta against NPs and if you do, why you're on a nursing website. All of my PCP's are NP's and they provide me with excellent care. I'm sorry if that's not the...

  10. Admissions

    emily34812 replied to Ebellis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know generally union university wants at least a 3.0 at least back when I was looking into schools. You need to contact these schools admissions offices on your own time in order to really answer...

  11. EMT-B?

    emily34812 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's definitely worth checking out. Additionally, some hospitals prefer to hire nurse's aides's in the ED that have their EMT cert. Just remember that the two thinking processes are very...

  12. Need help making college decision!!! Please help!!!

    emily34812 replied to roddyt's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other poster in this thread. Nursing programs especially in NYC are increasingly competitive. The minimum is the applications they just won't throw out when they get them. I would...

  13. Baby and school?

    emily34812 replied to julesjameson3333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't believe it is impossible, but it sure will be difficult. You will need excellent grades in your pre-requisites to get into a nursing program, and the classes won't be too easy. While you may...

  14. Chances getting into nursing school?

    emily34812 replied to yogi26's topic in General Students

    You need to contact these schools admissions departments yourself, with official transcripts and whatnot. The hearsay you're getting isn't particularly helpful for you. You need to meet with people...

  15. "Smart watch" vs traditional for taking pulse/resp

    emily34812 replied to bay area FNP-to-be's topic in General Students

    I've seen people wear fit bits and apple watches for clinical but to me it seems to be more trouble than its worth. You have to click around for the clock and make sure it's charged and that your...

  16. i need help on nyu nursing program

    emily34812 replied to ahhahahh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to meet with an admissions person from NYU. They are saying they need 1 course from each of those listed, so yes, one semester. But only the NYU representatives can say with certainty what...

  17. I'm currently in high school in need of which college is best for a BSN in the navy?

    emily34812 replied to Emyyy31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really just need to go to a recruiting office and ask to speak to someone about Navy Nursing. No one on here could tell you the exact specifics of what the Navy is offering right

  18. Microbiology

    emily34812 replied to xdrowe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Staying on top of micro mostly is the same as keeping up with other classes. I would recommend reviewing your basic bio and chem concepts as well. For me flashcards helped with certain concepts and so...

  19. Class schedule reasonable? (Hawai'i Pre-Nursing Student)

    emily34812 replied to mxm80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's totally manageable. I took 19 credits last semester (not including 2 3 hour labs.) You just need to manage your time well. I would recommend getting a good planner with lots of space, and to...

  20. Applying to nursing schools

    emily34812 replied to Ifrah2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous posters, get A's in your pre-req's and that will improve your stock a bunch. I would also look into volunteering opportunities in healthcare or working as a PCA. Since you're...

  21. A&P Prep?

    emily34812 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a difficult class in that there's a whole lot of memorization. I wouldn't start studying now, but I would definitely figure out what kind of learner you are. Like for me, it helped tremendously...

  22. Starting From Scratch

    emily34812 replied to motoman1500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top things would be to 1) Save up money while you can and 2) Stay organized. Get a planner and plan out when you're going to study, when you have work, when exams for your pre-reqs are etc. etc. I...

  23. Finish AA before nursing?!

    emily34812 replied to JNV9211's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should finish your AA and get your CNA, then see if you like being a CNA and like what the RNs are doing. There's no use starting your nursing degree if you end up hating the work. Like...

  24. Difficulty of nursing school?

    emily34812 replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    I didn't do great in A&P either but I'm still in the program and on the Dean's List! The thing with nursing is that there is a LOT of information to know. Not only that, you have to also know how...

  25. Immunosuppression and Nursing

    emily34812 replied to aka23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would maybe look into non-clinical nursing, like a career as a case manager or working for an insurance company. There's also nursing informatics, and pharm. and med device sales. However, keep in...
