how can I prepared for my prerequisites before I start the nursin program

[yayita]

Hello to all nurses and students.

My name is marianyeliz im from ny,

im new to allnurse.com

Im going to start nursing school in few month, Therefore I would like to know what pre-req books I must read a head of time before I start the nursing program.? I havent start school yet and im very nervous about it.

So pliiissss informed me everything about what to expect from being a nurse student to a registered nurse. ? From clean to dirty job, working with good and bad nurse, but what im wory the most is the PREREQUISITES!!!!!! BECAUSE not every student can pass the prerequisites to get in to the nursing program.

Can i take the prerequisites online? Such at www.universalclass.com

marian university?

From 1 to 10 How hard are the prerequisites?

How much time did you spend studying ?

Did you had to retake it?

Is it harder than the nursing program. ?

Did you regret in becoming a nurse. ?

Besides taking the prerequisites. Is nursing a very dirty job?

How is the pay? What is your work schedule every week?

Good day, yayita:

The prerequisites you need is determined by the nursing program of the school you attend; so you need to check with the particular school(s) you are interested in going to in order to find out about the prerequisites they require for their program.

Sites such as universal class, coursera, canvas, futurelearn, edX, etc. (aka MOOC's) are not accredited in terms of being able to count as or towards a prerequisite. However, classes from such MOOCs can be extremely beneficial in terms of increasing one's understanding of a given subject matter.

What does it matter how another person (each person is unique) finds a particular prerequisite in terms of easy to hard? How does that understanding help you as you are completely different than anyone else (this is a good thing)?

The "general" rule of thumb for study time is two hours per week for every credit hour of class. So a three credit class would involve 3 hours of class time (this might be one to several days per week) and 6 hours of study time. This "general" rule should be adjusted based on how well you are in a given area. I.e. bad at math and taking a math class, you might need to double or triple the time. BTW, even if you love science, I do recommend that for the "core" sciences (anatomy and physiology, microbiology) that 1) the lab and lecture are treated as separate 3 credit classes in terms of study time, and 2) to increase the study time to 3 to 4 hours per each of those credit hours.

I'm told the nursing program classes are harder than any prerequisite class; I'll find out next year. Even so, what does that matter as per your prerequisite question, each person is different, and how does knowing the difficulty one person has with a given subject matter help you?

I don't plan on regretting becoming a nurse. Whether or not nursing is a dirty job depends on what you mean by dirty. Your latter questions will vary by geographic region, speciality, etc.

Thank you.
