  1. Feeling extremely discouraged about getting into nursing school

    jfast replied to FutureCRNA1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would add once again that you need to reach out to individual programs. Others have mentioned that programs they have been a part of would not look at current grades but the one I am a part of is...

  2. Nursing Program Success Rates and The Student Right To Know Act

    jfast replied to JessMae's topic in General Students

    As others have mentioned, pass rates should be able to be found but it sounds like you are asking about graduation rates specifically here. Typically, those are not required to be published and those...

  3. Kennesaw State University Spring 2020

    jfast replied to wizards1999's topic in School, College Programs

    Have you applied to other programs or feel stuck with Kennesaw only? I certainly hope you get into KSU if that is your first choice but there are other programs that may not have nearly the same...

  4. Can i retake a course I did really bad on..?

    jfast replied to jyjy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some good advice here but there are some schools out there that don't require general bio at all so you wouldn't need to worry about the grades in there at

  5. failed a&p twice ?

    jfast replied to xtjohnsonx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Carpelibrum asks an important question - are you "stuck" where you are? If not, look to retake and

  6. Anyone leave their home State to pursue a career in Nursing?

    jfast replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    I would recommend looking at Chattanooga, TN area to add to your list. No income tax, right next to the border of GA if sales tax is too high for your liking, pay is in line with what you were hoping,...

  7. HELP DECIDING ON ABSN PROGRAM

    jfast replied to LYTOPIAWORLD's topic in School, College Programs

    I would tend to agree with cturtle here. The only major reason to shift focus might be if School 1 has a track record for not being a strong program (e.g. their NCLEX pass rates are low or...

  8. Letters of Recommendation - how do they work these days?

    jfast replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, in general, there are many ABSN programs that don't even do recommendations anymore. Many only really care about your grades (and possibly test scores). I would recommend making a list of...

  9. New Grad Moving From Compact To Non Compact State

    jfast replied to aewaller's topic in General Students

    In my mind, the main aspects to consider are 1. the timeline and 2. the assurance of where you will be working initially. If you graduate in 2 weeks, that may change what I would advise versus if you...

  10. Any Words of Wisdom?

    jfast replied to lvng4themoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! Yes, you are certainly better off than those students. Every time they are in class taking those extra 6 credits is an opportunity for you to take advantage of not having that extra work to do....

  11. Graduated, moving to vermont, but questions about registering for NCLEX.

    jfast replied to branandfox's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The other responders have done a nice job of answering your question but just to summarize/clarify since it sounds like you had a bit of confusion: You are 100% correct that it does not matter where...

  12. Any Words of Wisdom?

    jfast replied to lvng4themoment's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    12 hours in the summer is no easy task so don't sell yourself short there. For many students, 12 hours in the summer feels like 18 or more in fall/spring. That doesn't make it any easier right now but...

  13. Background check? rehire eligibility

    jfast replied to alexlovesit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That should certainly be talking about clinical/hospital rehiring, generally. The only exception in my mind would be if there was something criminal or truly problematic (like violence) that popped up...

  14. Alternate List

    jfast replied to Ashenx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree with morbidlycurious. I always advise students to keep options open as long as they can. Once you have all your options laid out, then you can truly weigh all the pros and cons to...

  15. I NEED HELP ASAP!! Should I transfer out of Stony Brook ?

    jfast replied to FutureNurseCrystal06's topic in School, College Programs

    There are many facets here and no easy answer. As rnhopeful mentions, if they do not have the courses you are seeking, it does not seem like the best option to stay for three more years pursuing...

  16. Failed AP + Lab.

    jfast replied to Tim Burton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with cturtle. That would be a very specific school policy. If that quote you listed is all they have, it sounds more like they are referring to specific nursing courses, not prerequisites...

  17. Help. Possible C in Anatomy

    jfast replied to MamaZan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I certainly would not recommend failing the class to retake. Unless there is a rule where you are that C's cannot be retaken (which would be a bizarre rule in my mind), getting a C the first...

  18. Need advice

    jfast replied to Futnur's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with KCMnurse here. Sounds like something behind the scenes may have forced the need to reinstate. It may have only been one of the three that had something like that happen but if...

  19. How many years of experience do you need to enter Rutgers School DNP program?

    jfast replied to The0Walrus's topic in School, College Programs

    It looks like it depends on the specific track you are applying to. Here is a link to where some of the information can be found. At the bottom is "Special Requirements". For example, the Anesthesia...

  20. South College Reviews

    jfast replied to shines27's topic in School, College Programs

    As you allude to, the perfect school for one student may be a nightmare for another but there are some key things to look at more objectively. I would highly recommend checking out the NCLEX pass...

  21. I Need Help Picking My Classes!

    jfast replied to tfudz12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As always, it will depend on the college you are taking them through so I would highly recommend getting in touch with those who have taken each of them in summer/fall and get some insight. In general...

  22. What should I take over summer?

    jfast replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of this just comes down to how you learn best and the school you are taking them through. In general, I would agree with the others that summer science classes are very fast-paced and can be...

  23. Do nursing schools look at your entire unofficial transcripts?

    jfast replied to jaidon84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As per usual, the answer of "it depends on the school" is correct here. Reach out to schools you are interested in. If you speak to an advisor or someone over enrollment at a nursing program, ask them...

  24. Questions upon questions! High Schooler!

    jfast replied to Schrmad23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many of these questions could be answered with the same response: "It depends". Depends on your strength in these areas, depends on the college you go to, etc. etc. etc. Here are some quick answers...

  25. School Advice

    jfast replied to mteague10's topic in General Nursing

    As ImLovingIt alluded to, many times the requirement of being 18 is simply for clinicals. If you join a direct-entry program that does not start clinicals for a year or two, you should be fine. You...
