  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...

  16. Help!!!I don't know what to do next

    quarterlifemess replied to porterkate1219's topic in General Students

    Why did you fail your two nursing programs? I understand that you missed the cutoff but why? What was the cause of you not being successful in the classroom portion? Was it the tests? Were you working...

  17. How many times were you rejected before getting into nursing program?

    quarterlifemess replied to gp14's topic in General Students

    I applied to two ADN programs and was accepted into both. The BSN programs I would have applied to had later application cycles and I would have had to wait out longer waiting to start the BSN...

  18. BSN as a 2nd degree at 33

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

    Ultimately, this is only a decision that can be made by you and, if anyone else, your husband. There are many ways to go about this and none of them are 'right' but all are very personal to those...

  19. Which one is better to take on summer? A&P or Micro?

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

    Micro isn't more difficult than AP II. I took them together last semester and my toughest class was actually Statistics. I earned a 97.7 in Micro because of the overlap in topics with previous biology...

  20. BSN as a 2nd degree at 33

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

    What does your husband

  21. HELP! BS degree, trouble with accelerated BSN programs

    quarterlifemess replied to kyleegillen's topic in General Students

    As stated above it is the individual programs that restrict the number of times you can take the TEAS. You need to check the restrictions for each individual program. What's the reason for switching...

  22. Freaking out about HESI A2

    quarterlifemess replied to KatMill2312's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take the TEAS but the same holds true. RELAX. The test is much easier than you think it will be. You have hyped it up in your head because it is an entrance exam to something that you really,...

  23. Urgent... Nursing vs accounting degree?

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

    "Accounting because everyone knows me for being good with budgeting, saving money, and calculating paychecks/taxes." This is the same as saying you like helping people and thus want to be a nurse. All...

  24. Question about nursing school

    quarterlifemess replied to Christine 1980's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes..

  25. Is this course load doable?

    quarterlifemess replied to aveonurse2b's topic in General Students

    Don't do it. When you have a multiple test and/or major projects due on the same day, you will be in tears. This would not be setting yourself up for success. It is not only important to get this...
