    Has anyone here taken AP1 & 2 together...

    I am ashamed in myself

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to KariT's topic in General Students

    Yikes. It sounds like you made some pretty bad choices, but it also sounds like your teacher did, too. A 15 point curve is pretty ridiculous, IMO. So now, you have to learn - by yourself. I suggest...

    Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were still in nursing school? OP, I appreciate the warning, but if you honestly think anyone hoping to be a nurse in the furture that hangs around here thinks that nursing is all...

    ADN or BSN

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to LiveUrDreams's topic in General Students

    I looked into the job market demands in the area. Most hospitals here will hire ADN's, but prefer BSN's. So I'm getting my

    Fall 2017 Baptist Health System San Antonio

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ashkat87's topic in School, College Programs

    I think I might apply to this school, as well as UT Health and SAC's program (though those are for Spring 2018 entry) I'm taking the TEAS on Tuesday. For their requirements, I have a 4.0. Does anyone...

    This is so ridiculous, but I'm so restless without any school stuff to work

    Such a letdown!!! 😭

    Oh no! I think I'd react the exact same way! Here's to hoping the next letter is The

    Summer 2017 Chat

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

    This was a big factor in my decision to bow out of the EMT program. I get a whole six months with my kiddos in the fall before the craziness of nursing school starts. I can't

    Advice on obtaining BSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Barnesx215's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's your overall GPA? I had a terrible year of college that's coming back to haunt me, too. I've read on here that in some cases you can get academic forgiveness for previous bad grades, so that...

    Female Stressing hard about being EMT

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

    I went to an information session and interview for a local EMT program and half the applicants were female. Everyone was very nice and friendly. I didn't end up joining the program, but that wasn't...

    online BSN- no proctored exams

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to KRH123's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed, I did miss that

    I hated being a CNA, will this mean I'll hate being a nurse?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to TinyLilly's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that you can compare CNA work with nursing, though I'm not a nurse yet. I was a CNA another life ago and I loved working on the floor, but not in an LTC facility - the environment didn't...

    online BSN- no proctored exams

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to KRH123's topic in General Nursing

    I would encourage you to address your test anxiety rather than try to avoid situations that trigger it. Even if you did find a program without proctored exams, you'll still have to sit for the NCLEX...

    Should I study anatomy and physiology before the semester begins?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Jazzythefuturenurse's topic in General Students

    Generally I tend to agree about no such thing as learning too much, but I did find A&P I and II to be a different type of learning that I wouldn't have been able to prepare myself for on my own....

    Spring 2017 Chat

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now that January is here, I thought I'd start a thread where we can support and encourage each other through our Spring semester, similar to our Fall thread, but with a bit more chit chat. What's your...

    Get an RN, then what?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to BusyBody98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I'd take some time to work bedside and get a feel for what really interests me. At least that's my

    Should I study anatomy and physiology before the semester begins?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Jazzythefuturenurse's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't pre-study because teachers all focus on different things. Yes, everyone will need to know what a kidney is and what it does, but not everyone will learn the exact same structures and...

    While in school should I get my cna or emt?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Coffeeislife31's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about doing this - even applied (and was accepted to) an EMT program here, but then I learned that after one semester of nursing school, you can usually work as a nurse tech, so I figured it...

    2.95 GPA? Chances of getting in a BSN program?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Transfer_Student's topic in General Students

    They were developmental classes? What's your GPA without them? Lots and lots of programs only consider your GPA for their specific requirements, so the grades in those classes might not even count....
