1. What do you wish you had known?

   longdistancehiker replied to TmooreA's topic in General Students

   I wish I knew how to make study groups (and studying, honestly) effective from the get-go. To me, study groups should basically just be a SMALL (4 people max, in my opinion) group of people going over...

2. Maternity Class

   longdistancehiker replied to longdistancehiker's topic in Male Nursing Students

   Great to see I'm not alone! Haha. Our professor is great - she is one of my favorites out of all I've ever had - but it just doesn't interest me that much. Had the last clinical for it today, though,...

3. Maternity Class

   longdistancehiker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

   Any other guys hate maternity class? I feel like an alien in there - like I don't know what's going on at all. I've got a solid B, but the whole thing is so uninteresting to me that I'm having trouble...

4. Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

   longdistancehiker replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

   BookishBelle, I've always been a straight-A student as well, and it took until finals week of my first semester to get over that. It sucks, but I just remind myself that it's actually hard and it will...

5. Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

   longdistancehiker replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

   Nursing school has definitely been tougher than the rest of my academic career, but it also isn't as difficult as some have told me (just my opinion). There are people in my cohort who live, breathe,...

   longdistancehiker replied to longdistancehiker's topic in Male Nursing Students

   Hey yepooda, Merry Christmas! It's good to see someone else from the cohort on here. That orientation left me a little more confused than I was beforehand, but I think (as others have already stated...

   Thanks for the advice and well wishes, everyone! Lots of great thoughts have been laid out on here. I am pretty stoked; we have our orientation in six days. MuffinMan, I'm going to have to actively...

8. Starting the Program in January

   longdistancehiker posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

   Hey guys just wanted to give a brief introduction; I've been reading through the forums on and off for a while, but decided to finally make an account. I'm a 24 year-old USMC vet living in...

9. How I Got a 97.3% on My TEAS VI.

   longdistancehiker replied to myungsup's topic in TEAS Exam Help

   Great summary! I took a similar approach, but not necessarily by choice. I screwed around this summer (drank way too much) and got a D in an English course because I didn't do all the assignments....

10. Germanna Community College

    longdistancehiker replied to clf96's topic in School, College Programs

    Jesusgirl15, one of my study buddies applied to the program in the spring and was sent a letter informing her that she had not been accepted. When she reached out to the program (I can't remember...

    longdistancehiker replied to clf96's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, what was your advising session like? Do you live in one of the priority counties? How much of the Allied Health Science program did you complete? What is your GPA? What is your Science GPA? What...

    I applied for Spring '17 and got an acceptance letter in the mail. Still haven't received an email though. TEAS overall: 97th percentile, English: 94 percent, Math 94 percent, Science 75 percent,...
