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

    Oh, my gosh! Wonderful job on your test. I'm watching a statistics class on YouTube age working through the textbook at home because I'm dreading stats so much. I don't even need to take it until...

  3. Need your advise on first semester

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

    If you're strong in math and science, taking them together won't be a problem, but if they're difficult for you, switching out bio for psych might give you some breathing room. You'll need the algebra...

  4. Very emotional nurse considering going into hospice nursing- good idea or not?

    jess.mont replied to RN416's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You might consider volunteering with Hospice as a Family Care Giver. There are 20 hours of training over 8 weeks and they really address many of the concerns you have. We have two nurses in my current...

    jess.mont replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jess.mont replied to mlof76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Clepping for Pre-reqs

    jess.mont replied to mlof76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing to be aware of is that some schools will only accept CLEP'ed classes as a C or a Pass rather than a grade. If you're competing against other students who have A's in these classes, your GPA...

  9. I rather take Anatomy, Algebra, and Micro then Chem

    jess.mont replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Suspension has to do with the size of solutes in a heterogeneous solution. Suspended particles can settle out because they are large enough - think about gravel or even sand mixed with

  10. I rather take Anatomy, Algebra, and Micro then Chem

    jess.mont replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you like using the so-called Pacific-Atlantic rule, then go for it, but it might be more helpful to understand the reasoning behind significant figures. I know that when I feel like just guessing,...

  11. Math before Anatomy and Physio

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

    I'm glad you started this thread, JenGirl! I'm taking A&P I. I homeschool as well, so I've been taking one class a semester and plugging along. My class is on Sunday from 11 to 4:30, which I...

  14. School Help

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

    Is it that you want to move to Europe or get your degree there? If you just want to live there, you could always do an online BSN program from an American school and still live in Europe. ☎ Sent...

  15. UIC vs. Mercer

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

    Good for you! It sounds like you're ready did either program as far as the prerequisites go. When you say you're queries about your college experience, do you mean which school can give you the best...

  16. Queens Community College Admission

    jess.mont replied to inn0cengr1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually science courses expire, but liberal arts ones don't. I'm using an AP Literature & Composition course I took in high school 20 years as my Freshman Comp. requirement. 😊 Generally,...

  17. Online Chem 1 & 2?

    jess.mont replied to jeepnursegina's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took chemistry online and did the optional lab in person. I took it through Onondaga Community College in NY, but the tuition will be more if you're out of state. ☎ Sent from my rotary phone

    jess.mont replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Best advice I ever got!!!

    jess.mont replied to sgf24's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    In my Ed. Psych. class, we learned that you can really only concentrate on something for 20 minutes or so. I've only been working on my pre-reqs as co-reqs, but I read for 20 min. and then go over the...

  20. UIC vs. Mercer

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

    Out of curiosity, have you already completed all of the prerequisites and are now transferring into these programs? Neither of these are two-year BSN programs as you indicated in your original post,...

  21. Need Advice on Nursing Program prereq

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

    From what I understand from reading here and from doing some practice TEAS tests, A&P is definitely a component of the test. Science knowledge - especially of anatomy, chemistry, and biology -...

  22. Can I still be a good nurse if I'm bad at math?

    jess.mont replied to Lorna234558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A friend of mine who is a nurse says you will never get one of these bizarro problems like you find in textbooks where they say convert 5 lbs. of Keflex into tablets, etc. Actually, when I started my...

  23. Schools in NYC/nursing advice

    jess.mont replied to Maree87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you're 37, seven years will have passed and you'll be that much older whether or not you have your nursing degree. Many of us are non-traditional students, so you're in good company. Look to...

  24. Pre-reqs completely online

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

    Definitely check community colleges! I meant to put that in my original reply. I'm in NYS, and a number of our CCs offer online pre-reqs, and as BusyBee says, you can't tell that they're online...

  25. Pre-reqs completely online

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

    Generally, I would think prerequisites from established colleges and universities are more accepted than schools that are online-only. A class from Johns Hopkins, for example, may have more cachet...
