  1. Is it worth applying when you are still missing prereqs?

    jess.mont replied to alexmg12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some pre-requisites are actually co-requisites that can be completed while doing your nursing courses, but accelerated programs, in particular, often recommend against this. Definitely talk to your...

  2. I need help deciding what nursing school to attend

    jess.mont replied to Sara19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can swing it, I think you should move to Houston and complete your BSN all in one go. Otherwise, do the ASN and then spend a year bridging to the BSN, especially if your area generally requires...

  4. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Muscle practical NAILED! I earned a 97â„…, but then we had added bonus points from some activities, so my final grade was 117â„…, which is ridiculous but awesome. One exam (not cumulative)...

  5. TB skin test & titers

    jess.mont replied to emgne's topic in General Students

    Go in and get the TB test and the blood draw. By the time your titres come back, you'll be able to get your second TB test (must be 7 days after the first). Then you'll know which vaccines you'll need...

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're doing the biochemistry of muscles right now, age In so grateful for my BIO professor from last semester. He expected so much out of us and worked so hard to help us understand it that this stuff...

  8. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Woohoo - skeletal grade posted today, and I earned a 98!!! There were two bonus points, which made up for getting the capitulum of the humerus wrong, and apparently a few other things, too. :) Overall...

  9. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had our skeletal practical today, sI know it went well. Then we got our muscles chart, and the professor said, "Now you don't have to get started on this now, but maybe just look over it. There are...

  10. Relocating and Confused

    jess.mont replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    I misread something on their website - duh! :) They don't offer nursing. TC3 is just in the next town over, but if you're not going to drive in the snow, it may not be an option for you. Driving in...

  11. Relocating and Confused

    jess.mont replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    Have you looked at Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3)? It's a half-hour from Ithaca, but maybe less if you're not right in town. It's the closest option. Many people commute between Ithaca and...

  12. Vaccinations

    jess.mont replied to sbarber74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a timely post! I went to my doctor today for my physical and vaccines to volunteer with Hospice and told him I'd really rather just have all my shots again in case the titers came back negative...

  13. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there's anything wrong with getting it used. I know it can be tough to find it used, so I had half a mind to try to resell ours when we were done with it, but now we've taken to tearing...

  14. Optical tech wanting to become a nurse

    jess.mont replied to kes0317's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same area, and I know many people do the LPN program at BOCES. Why not go for it? If you decide you want to get your ADN or BSN later, you'll have great experience. Only OCC will give you...

  15. How far out from applying are you?

    jess.mont replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got A&P II next semester, then Micro. over the summer, and then a 7.5 week nutrition class the second half of the fall semester. I'll apply in early spring for a Spring 2018 start. The...

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We started using Oak Meadow this year, too - I have one child and she's 11 and in 5th grade as well. I am wondering how things will look once I actually start nursing school in January of 2018 and...

    jess.mont replied to zolojan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Volunteering at hospice is a wonderful thing to do if you're doing it for the right reasons. There are also 20 hours of training required to do it, providing you are a good fit for hospice. Your...

  19. Im so angry and bitter!

    jess.mont replied to UCFAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry, Ashley. That is so tough. It's completely understandable that you would feel bitter and angry right now. It sounds like you know what you need to do next, but even so, your feelings are...

  20. Need your advise on first semester

    jess.mont replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I knew what you meant! I was just agreeing that it would be nuts!

  21. Need your advise on first semester

    That would be...difficult. :) Although I've heard of people taking both A&Ps together, I really wonder how that would

    Yes - I should clarify my post that the program I'm planning o do is an accelerated one if you do it in one year, but I'll do it over two years. As NICUismylife pointed out, there isn't any way to do...

    jess.mont replied to Ennemkay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not aware of many 12-month BSN programs at public universities that cost that much! I plan to do an online part-time, 30-credit program through SUNY Buffalo that costs $12,000. It's for people...

  25. Having a pathetically hard time with A&P--Need advice

    jess.mont replied to anilechim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
