    Taking A&P More Than Twice

    Rionoir replied to aer3's topic in General Students

    Regardless of whether or not you can get into a nursing program, I'd be more worried about the chance of being successful if you got in. There's a lot of things many times harder than anatomy in...

    I just want to let it out....

    Rionoir replied to xxbeatrix's topic in General Students

    I spent 10 years overseas before coming back and figuring out what I really wanted to do. Sure I "lost" 10 years in terms of a nursing career, but I wouldn't trade those years for

    Lost and confused...

    Rionoir replied to jduperron's topic in General Students

    A lot of it depends on where you live. I'm doing an ADN because it doesn't sound like I will have any trouble getting a job with that around here, so it's the cheapest option and I'll let my employer...

    Pax Rn test. What did you use to study

    Rionoir replied to Tracy0821's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I was sort of confused as to when I was supposed to take it so I took it at the same time I was starting my pre-requisites so that I could declare a nursing major at my school. I hadn't...

    How competitive are post-bacc nursing programs these days?

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

    California - very. Some other places - much less so. The program I am in is not difficult to get into the nursing classes as long as you have the required pre-reqs and grades, but the program itself...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    Rionoir replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    Is that jealousy I smell? lol I'll say it again - so glad I'll be a MURSE. Who the hell cares if someone is proud of where they go to school? If my parents were going to fork over some money for...

    Rionoir replied to REDFX4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know how many semesters you would need if you went to Herzing? I'm not at a private school, but I was just looking at their tuition and it is actually less than a typical private school....

    Pre Enrollment Drug Screen

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

    I understand that, but unless they'd be willing to test you before every shift, it doesn't work that way. You could withhold before your initial screening to get a clean test, but eventually you'll...

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

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    Rionoir replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    Before you withdraw talk to an advisor. I had a friend fail out of A&P and the advisor told her it looks better to take whatever grade she gets and retake it than to withdraw and retake it. I...

    What do I do if I'm struggling in the easy classes?

    Rionoir replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Students

    You should take chemistry before A&P, I can't believe they didn't have that as a pre-requisite. There's an entire chapter of A&P that basically starts where chemistry left off, and the rest...

    Ivy League Schools worth it?

    Rionoir replied to medic1969's topic in General Students

    From a mathematical standpoint, let's say you make $70k a year as an RN at a "top hospital", and $64K a year at a "regular" hospital. Considering most good nursing schools have very high pass rates,...

    This seems to be missing the point of the recommendation letter in the first place, which is to get a recommendation from someone that can vouch for you. Having a third party do that just says there...
