    Taking A&P More Than Twice

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to aer3's topic in General Students

    Did you withdraw early? Or did you get a W on your transcript? Right now, I'd be more concerned about failing anatomy twice than finding a nursing school that will consider you. Good

    Nursing Program Cause For Concern?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to injured1's topic in General Nursing

    Is it a for profit school? Is it regionally/nationally accredited? What's their NCLEX pass rate? That's a fairly low retention rate with a high credit cost. Those are red flags for

    Make It STOP!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    "Help! I've failed a class I've been failing all semester and it's not my fault, obviously. I'm going to appeal because my teacher hates

    Milk and Fever

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to kistigirl84's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard this too. I was told it had to do with the milk curdling, inducing vomiting. It made sense at the time, but I realize now how silly that

    Second Guessing nursing School?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    It's so hard to be away from home for the first time. When I was 21 I moved to a new city for a job and knew no one. I started to put myself out there, and it turned out to be one of the best years of...

    3 months into my first job and don't know if I should stay

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to rnwheretogo's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to use "I" statements when you're corrected - it will make you sound defensive, even if you don't mean to be. Say things like "thanks for showing me how to do that" instead of "I didn't know...

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

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

    I've told myself that we won't hear anything until the last week in August, so I'm less anxious now. I mean, I'm still a little anxious, but I'm managing it much better. I know there are a lot of...

    Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

    I agree with this. If you were close enough to failing that it came down to one question, you weren't grasping the material. I'd recommend you take ownership of your inability to reach the required...

    Have major anxiety, depression, don't really enjoy science... am I crazy for applying?

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

    I'm not a nurse yet (anxiously awaiting an acceptance letter), but I can't imagine going into nursing hating science. It's not as if you must be an expert in the field, but having an interest in...

    Fall Semester

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Marysan767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I concur with the above. I did full loads every semester, and while I did take two sciences at once, I took two other easier classes with them. I also volunteered and while I didn't work, I homeschool...

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

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

    Nope. I did get an auto reply that responses will take a while because they are very busy. I'm guessing we're just not going to hear anything until they send out denial/acceptance

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

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

    Welcome! Those are nice stats you've got there :) I'm having dreams almost every night about nursing school. They are so silly too - like I had to participate in an obstacle course to be accepted, or...

    I failed my adult health test can I appeal

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to 2bnurse 1983's topic in General Students

    As someone who also has generalized anxiety disorder, I agree with this. You have to find ways to overcome and adapt, because the world isn't going to adapt to

    Why is A&P so hard?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    No problem! Dry memorization is hard for me, too. I also used quizlet a lot. They have stock photos you can use and just practice 10 minutes while you're in the restroom, or waiting in line for...

    A Sign From God?

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

    I'm not even going to touch the book subject. Yikes. You think that memorizing the codes at a local hospital is a sign from

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

    Why is A&P so hard?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    I honestly didn't think either class was difficult - and I had worked myself up quite a bit because of everyone telling me how hard it was. It's a lot of information, yes. But (IMO) the information...

    Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

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

    I think it depends on your end goal. Do you want the personal sense of accomplishment of having a degree in nursing? What age do you plan to retire? I agree with someone who commented above - taking...

    UTHSCSA 2018 Spring Applicants

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Here's the other thread: https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/ut-health-science-1105053.html No one has heard anything yet. I emailed on Friday and asked if we were going to be notified of...

    UT Health Science - San Antonio Spring 2018

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

    I understand. I have a few fun things planned over the next few weeks, so hopefully it'll fly by. We're seeing Ed Sheeran on the 22nd, my husband's birthday is coming up and I'm doing planning for a...

    New to Texas

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

    It took me 5 semesters, but I got an Associate's Degree in Biology and that added a few classes - so it may take you less time. There are a few ADN programs in town - the one I'd recommend is through...

    Online Nursing Program - Is it worth it?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ayuhime's topic in General Students

    $60k would be really hard for me to swallow. Especially when you're getting recorded lectures. Have you looked at reviews for the school online? What's the schools retention rate, do you

    New to Texas

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

    Hi! I'm in San Antonio, too. There aren't a whole lot of nursing school choices around here, unfortunately. For your BSN you can attend UT Health - which doesn't offer prerequisites. There's also the...

    Fall semester classes '17

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ErikaD360's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did (well, it was A&P II), along with two other classes. It was totally fine, because I found both classes so interesting that studying never felt like a chore. Good
