1. Denied Nursing School.... Again

   quarterlifemess replied to kkb91's topic in General Students

   Is 2.9 your cumulative GPA/overall GPA? Do any programs that you can reasonably get to use prereq GPA, science GPA, last 60 hour GPA as the determining factor? For example, a few programs in my area...

2. Be more confident they say

   quarterlifemess replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

   Practice makes you more confident. Lots of practice if you have such performance anxiety. Does your program offer open lab hours? For my check offs I pretend that I'm on a cooking show or making a...

3. How to Take Science Nursing Prerequisites

   quarterlifemess replied to deefca's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Great general overview of the pre-req grind. I would just add that all program requirements are not the same and one should really talk to a program advisor for each program that they plan to apply...

4. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

   quarterlifemess replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   What is APHY 102? For what it's worth I took both microbiology and general chem. I preferred microbiology especially the lab portion. I guess micro is more helpful to me in nursing school with like...

5. Is it worth taking time off from school if I dont love it?

   quarterlifemess replied to confusedabouteverything's topic in General Students

   I think you owe it yourself to take a semester/quarter off if you are questioning yourself. I think it would be better to question your decision now before shelling out the money for an ABSN then...

6. Inappropriate instructor/student relationship?

   quarterlifemess replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

   I think it is inappropriate for them to ask the instructor and for her to agree to look into the section instructors. It's annoying that they would have a heads up but it just one of those life...

7. How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

   quarterlifemess replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

   My clinical instructor didn't really make us do anything. She did assign us patients though. Some people choose to sit and do their entire care plan but I wanted to 'get my money's worth' and created...

8. Nursing Grading Scale

   quarterlifemess replied to guest517's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   My scale is similar. However, I don't think the scale is that big of a deal, in and of itself. I've bounced around to many schools due to relocating a lot. Outside of the (hard/natural) science and...

9. Help! How did you pass Chemistry 1032!!

   quarterlifemess replied to RN2b2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Is CHM 1032 a general chemistry

10. Taking stats and worried

    quarterlifemess replied to sarah1999m's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a general statement: No, your chances of being a nurse are not over. Getting into a nursing program boils down to two things: 1. The criteria for admission set by a specific program. 2. The other...

11. What Should I Do?

    quarterlifemess replied to lecole01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took all those classes in one 15 week semester, earned a 4.0. At my school, AP II and Micro were perfect together as there was a lot of overlap in content namely the immune system. Statistics made...

12. Nerves, Nerves, nerves everywhere!

    quarterlifemess replied to new gal's topic in General Students

    Ignore the instructor. I just talk loud so they can hear me and talk to the manikin like they are an actual patient. If I have to inform them of anything I just basically just state it as if I were...

13. Starting the 4 year RN program at 29

    quarterlifemess replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    I mean it really doesn't matter. If you want it, go for it. Don't know too much about ultrasound but if it is flexible you can do it while completing your pre-reqs and while in your RN program. I'm...

14. Is taking Human Anatomy at the same time as Chemistry a bad idea?

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

    I took AP I and General Chem together and AP II and Micro together. I would NOT recommend taking Chem and AP together if you can at all help it. They are two different heavy science courses that need...

15. How hard is stats compared to A&P?

    quarterlifemess replied to weiny4089's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am strong in math and actually enjoy it. While Stats has calculations in it, it is more about the interpretation/analysis of said calculations. The interpretations drove. me. NUTS. For reference, I...
