    Retaking a&P and micro

    Rionoir replied to Jordanmedical's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Plenty of people do it successfully, and some people can barely pass A&P with a C when it's their only class. Only you can decide what you can handle.

    Rionoir replied to khepting's topic in General Students

    Our mental health instructor kept telling us how badly they need nurses in that area, especially advanced practice nurses. If you like mental health there's no reason not to go right into it - it'll...

    Rionoir replied to grumpee's topic in General Students

    How to fight procrastination and sleeping in?

    Rionoir replied to angel0309's topic in General Students

    You have a month, so just start going to bed earlier. There's no magic pill, but it's certainly possible and it's something a lot of people had to adjust to when they got their first 0600 clinical....

    Failed Nursing 1 by less than a percent looking for advice

    Rionoir replied to joven4801's topic in General Students

    Do you only get one combined grade for all your classes or something? I know people who missed one class by a point but they only had to redo that course not every part of the curriculum? Anyway, one...

    Extremely Lost...Graduated with B.S. in Biology but Decided to Pursue Nursing

    Rionoir replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CRNA programs require 1-2 years of ICU experience as an RN. Those direct entry programs are typically either NP or clinical something or other. Also, just a heads up you probably wouldn't be able to...

    You and 75% of the other female RNs. Ok I don't know what the percentage is, but I'm sure it's high. I'd be prepared to work in another specialty for a while before getting into OB, at least from...

    Can I succeed in nursing school with no previous medical experience?

    Rionoir replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in General Students

    I don't think it would've been worth the pay cut to be a CNA. Take a CNA course before nursing (required at my school) and that was a huge help

    Pre-Calc

    Rionoir replied to painelex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not a requirement for nursing school for sure. If you want to go on to a DNP program eventually, many of them require a statistics class, but I think for the basic stats classes college algebra...

    You can always take the classes you still need and then if you don't get into a program THEN retake AP if necessary. Otherwise I'd just review the material as

    Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

    Rionoir replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're good at math gen chem I is pretty easy IMO. If it's intro even more so. If you're not you'll probably struggle either
