    I'm In, Now What?!?!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ERNurseErica's topic in General Students

    I start in January, too. I did my clinical orientation on Friday. New student orientation is the 4th/5th of January - I'll be getting all my school supplies that weekend (school starts on the 8th)....

    Thanks for confirming my initial impression of you. Now I know better than to try to

    No Respect.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    There's no need to be condescending. I didn't say you seemed unhappy in the ICU. You seem unhappy in general. You have issues with people quite often (RT, people on this forum, "medical field", etc),...

    Any success stories for getting in Texas BSN Program with 3.0-3.25 Science GPA?

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

    No, for their online program (which means classes online, clinicals in person), they admit more than Spring/Fall. Here's the info: Online BSN | University of Texas at Arlington Online And there's a...

    Volunteer interview

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lrtx82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem :) No experience needed for the NICU - it's really about the relationship you build with the nurses and how much help you are, in my experience. I'm older/have kids of my own, so I may have...

    Volunteer interview

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lrtx82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I volunteer for the hospital I hope to work for when I graduate. I've done several different things in a volunteer capacity. I've worked in the NICU, cuddling babies - they let me help a lot with...

    Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    I think she's trying navigate this without making a big deal out of it. She has to spend the next two years with this dude - see him every day. She might be stuck doing clinicals or group projects...

    Any success stories for getting in Texas BSN Program with 3.0-3.25 Science GPA?

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

    Doesn't UTA have rolling admissions? Or is that just their online program? Maybe that's something to

    Based on your post history, you don't seem to be very happy. Maybe it's time to explore something

    Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    Generally I choose not to be subtle about these things. I've had situations develop into stalking and having to get a protective order because I tried to be polite/avoid conflict. I don't do that...

    Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't tell anyone at the school about this. I would make sure to save *everything* he sends though. I've dealt with stuff like this is the past - it's really hard to give advice in these...

    Money to live on during nursing school? Loans?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hello77kitty's topic in General Students

    Did you fill out your FAFSA? Apply for scholarships? You could try to get work in a hospital - nontraditional hours and it might help you in the future. If you do decide to get a loan, a good rule...

    I think I might've messed up my transcript entry

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to OllieRugby's topic in General Students

    I edited my transcripts after I submitted my application - there were errors I had to fix before my application was submitted to my school by NursingCAS. I'd call NursingCAS instead of your school....

    Are new grads prepared for the bedside?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're missing a really important question - how many clinical hours the program requires. Mine is over 1,000 (BSN - 1,080 to be exact). I think that factors heavily into success as well. But...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to OllieRugby's topic in General Students

    Has NursingCAS verified your transcripts yet? If they have, you're fine. If they haven't, you should still be able to edit that

    UIW/UTHSC - Fall 2018 TX (LOW GPA? STATS)

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to PDZTLTdawg's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm starting at UT Health in San Antonio in January. Maybe my stats will help. TEAS: 83 Math/Science GPA: 3.4 Overall GPA: 3.3 I also took the HESI, but it wasn't required for UT Health, I got a 91....

    Fall 2017 Chat

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's that time! How is everyone? What classes are you taking this fall? I'm not taking classes this fall - I'm all done. I'm just in the waiting period to hear back about my applications. I was...

    What did you learn in Micro?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rileowski's topic in General Students

    I LOVED Micro! We studied microbes, their vectors, their disease process, antibiotics, the history of microbiology, etc in class. In lab we grew different bacteria in different environments, learned...

    Unprofessional Students

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to xtina334's topic in General Students

    Totally. There was one girl that typed with long nails throughout A&P I and II. It drove me insane. In my program, you have to bring your school issued laptop to class everyday. That should be...

    Can getting one F grade on your gpa ruin your chances into getting into nursing school?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    I had an F from 20 years ago and I start nursing school in January. That said, I had to bust my hump to make up for that F. I padded my GPA by getting a two year degree in biology. I graduated with a...

    Is Nutrition course really the hardest course?

    Most people I talked to talked about how difficult that class was, but I ended up with a 97 overall. I found it
