    Are you going for BSN or ASN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going for two degrees (there was only a difference of three classes, so I figured why not). An Associate's of Science and then a BSN. I chose BSN because that's what employers in my area

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    A&P has really helped me with my nutrition class. You have to know all the bits of the guts and enzymes and stuff like that. Yes, people are always incredulous that I'm not even in nursing school...

    RN education advice

    Is getting your accelerated BSN an option? If so, that's the route I would take. 15-18 months and you're

    Anxiety Disorder - Can I Do It?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nursinggirl1818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a doctor, nor am I giving you medical advice. The best thing to do would be to talk to your doctor. As someone who also has generalized anxiety disorder and currently takes the medications...

    How to know if you have a chance?

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

    My program has their stats online. You might want to search for "admission

    living situation while in nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sameishafate's topic in General Nursing

    I moved out when I was 17 and ready to take on the world. Looking back, I'd advise my 17 year old self to stay home and save money. I'd get a part time job, start helping with the bills and get your...

    How do I select a college?

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

    I looked around my town (moving isn't an option), looked at tuition costs, requirements and NCLEX pass rates. Good

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    Just popping in to declare how much I detest my Speech class and any/all group projects. I just had to rewrite a four page paper because college level writing is apparently impossible for some. This...

    No prerequisites taken, any chance?

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

    All you have to take is micro and a&p? That's doable, depending on the application cycle and your school's requirements. For my school, you can't apply before all your math and sciences are done,...

    I'm a Mess but Want to Be a Nurse

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

    I think everyone is a little bit of a mess. Making big changes in your life should be scary - if things weren't scary, you wouldn't ever get to be brave. I sometimes wonder if I'm cut out for this....

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

    Muscles! I've taken photos of all the models in the lab and created flash cards of them. There are about 85 that we need to know (and then the cell bits and their functions). I think I'm going to do...

    I checked my schedule today and saw that after next week's test, we get to dissect sheep brains! And the following week we do eyeballs. What dissection do you guys get to

    Take one science at a time or two?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the type of student you are, the quality of the teacher and how interested in science you are. I'm taking A&P I and am finding it quite easy to maintain an A, because I have a great...

    one class!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would slow down. I'm applying for Spring 2018. Would I rather jump all up in my classes and just be done? Sure - but it's not realistic. At least not for me. You're trying to cram a years worth of...

    one class!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school offer flex sessions? At my community college, you can take flex courses, that are back to back. Otherwise, I'd just wait, or take classes that interest me. As far as ASN vs BSN is...

    Nursing School Debt

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Cwcox01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    80k is a *lot*. My whole school experience is going to cost $30k, and that's for a BSN. I'd definitely look into other programs. Good

    Staying in Program at the Expense of Happiness?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to em1236's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well there's another option - you can find or create happiness in your life at the school you're at now. I'm sure there's at least a few other students that feel similarly and once you find them,...
