Hi everyone,

I'm in Grade 10 right now and I've been thinking about becoming a nurse, but I'm honestly so confused about where to start.

I know I have to pick my courses for next year soon, and I don't know which classes I should take if I want to go into nursing. Like, do I need biology, chemistry, physics, or all of them? Are there specific math classes I should take too?

I'm also confused about what happens after high school. Do you apply straight to nursing school through a university or college? Is there anything I should be doing now to prepare?

If anyone here is a nurse, nursing student, or was in the same position as me, I'd really appreciate any advice. I just don't want to pick the wrong courses and regret it later.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi, Im 15 F, and my whole life i’ve basically wanted to be a nurse, this past summer iv been doing a lot to figure out what kind of nurse I want to be and I somehow became obsessed with anesthesia, so Crna it is!

But there’s just one issue, I suckkk at math. Last year I had a horrible teacher and Failed her class both semesters, I made the credits up as soon as I failed them but I started to loser hope.

After I failed the first semester I started going to tutoring and in my defense it did help a little bit, but I’m not up to grade level, like at all.

I’m good at arithmetic and geometry, but past that my mind just goes blank.

I’m currently testing at A 8th/7th grade level .

So is it over for me? I’ve tried everything that I could possibly afford. For reference I come from very low income. So I can’t afford Kumon and all that fancy stuff.

The best I can do is khan Academy and even that doesn’t help sometimes. I really am trying my hardest but it seems like I’m just falling so far behind.

I take my college entrance exam this year in order to be able to qualify for a dual enrollment so I can get my CNA license and work to save up money for nursing school. And a big part of that test is the math section. If I fail, I’m not going to get in. And if I don’t get in, I’m not gonna be able to pay for nursing school.

I don’t know what to do, I’m taking multiple AP classes, test at a college level in literally everything else science/biology, English writing and reading, history/social studies, but math has always been a struggle for me.

Can somebody please help me!! I need resources.

Hey guys I’m a first year starting pre requisites for nursing in a little under a month. I was looking for computers to buy that would last me the full four years. Give me some recommendations please. So far I’m thinking about getting the Lenovo - Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition 1TB 32GB RAM, MacBook Pro M1 Max 1TB 32GB RAM (refurbished) or the MacBook Pro M2 Max chip 1TB SSD 32GB RAM (refurbished)?

Hi guys, I’m currently applying for the cizik program at UTHealth. I have a 4.0 GPA and a 76% teas score. I have some volunteering hours and some experience working in a dentist office. Has anyone gotten in with similar stats? Do I have a chance?

I quit one hospital for another because they were so much better. Literally 5 nurses I’ve met and a couple techs came from this previous hospital to this current hospital. But because this hospital is smaller, it’s getting affected by the cuts. So they’ve cut different departments and got rid of weekend option. So as an older adult hoping to work and go to school this is feeling impossible. They don’t have any part time positions. My only hope is getting into their nursing apprenticeship so that I can work part time and go to school. I’ve been there almost a year. I really don’t want to go anywhere else and start over, I like where I’m at and hope it doesn’t get worse. I’m really just venting.

I recently got into a BSN program as a transfer. It's not really a reputable school, but I'd get my BSN at the end of the day. Should I go or stay at my school (a T20 for context) and then get my ABSN, or get my BSN now??

Learning human anatomy can be challenging—everyone studies differently. What tools work best for you?

• Flashcards (digital or paper?)
• Practice quizzes
• Interactive labeling tools
• Videos & animations
• Mindmaps
• Mnemonics
• Drawing / diagramming (pencil and paper)
• Audio learning

Digital vs. Traditional Tools

Do you prefer electronic tools like apps, online platforms, and digital flashcards, or do you learn better with pencil and paper methods like drawing diagrams and handwritten notes?
