    Financing without grants

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nutmeg2356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's assuming you stay in the exact same position and make the exact same money. You could put your education on hold for a while and try to get a job that enables you to save more - or even a job...

    Seeking some guidance as a 5th year student

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

    Apply to nursing school(s) - you can't possibly know if you'll be accepted or not until you

    Associate Degree better to start with for a Non-Nurse?

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

    Since you already have a Bachelor's, look into Accelerated Bachelor's in Nursing? Those programs are usually 15-18

    How many programs/schools are you applying to?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to micahg714's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just one. There aren't a lot of BSN programs to choose from around here. I think there are three, and the other two colleges I'm just not interested in

    Well if someone is dumb enough to get an ASN instead of an ABSN when they already have a bachelors, then maybe they need the gen ed

    Financing without grants

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nutmeg2356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My total 4 year education is going to be around $30k. I would find another program with a reasonable fee schedule before I paid twice as much as I needed to through

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    I had my first lab today for A&P and it was great! I feel like this is my first "real" nursing related class and I can't wait to get my hands dirty. How is everyone else

    32 years old and ready to switch my career to become a nurse! Am I too old?

    I'm so envious of all of you on your last semesters! I've been taking classes on and off since 2009 and I'm ready to move onto the next step. My first A&P lab is tomorrow - I'm excited! All my...

    Want to be a nursing student, but too dumb at maths!!

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

    Math was my weakness, too. I'm actually really good at it - but it took the right teacher to show me that. I took remedial classes - but I did the flex courses, so I could fit two remedial classes...

    My husband is teaching me Spanish so I can be more marketable. I have the basic phrases down, like how are you, what's your pain, where's your pain, etc. It's

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

    I had to provide my own goggles, but I didn't need them the first lab. I got some cheap ones off of Amazon. Yeah, you have to volunteer for six hours and write about your experience. I thought it was...

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

    Just got home - I LOVE my A&P teacher. She's really funny and seems to really care about her students. I'm excited for this semester. We have to do a service project, which is volunteering for 6...

    I'm a little worried, next semester I'm doing A&P II, Chem II (lecture only) and Microbio. I hope I can pull it

    What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

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

    It's okay, I had to do the same with math. In the long run, it helped me SO much and I really needed that extra help. Don't beat yourself up about it! I would be taking another class - it would make...

    Yikes - I hope the flooding isn't too terrible in your area. I LOVED Sociology, it was probably the best class I've taken so far. So

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to studentnurse931's topic in General Students

    It depends on how much pot was in the brownies, how long you've been eating them and how frequent your ingestion is. It's going to be impossible for us to help you, unfortunately. Drink lots of...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to guest974915's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Getting a BSN isn't about advancing your nursing experience or education. You've already done the nursing bit, now you have to do the gen ed bit, just like everyone else that goes for a four year...

    retaking A&P II to get better than a C

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

    A lot of colleges won't drop the C, and will instead average the two grades together. It might not be worth the trouble. Check with the nursing school(s) you're applying to. Good
