2. Graduation Hold

   GinaJo replied to bnm65435's topic in General Students

   You should be fine to take the NCLEX when the hold is removed from your account. Just make sure you follow up with the nursing dept so they see the hold is gone.

11. PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    GinaJo replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Right 2.7 is the minimum. Remember that there are only so many seats and you're competing with students who have well over a 3.0. I don't think anyone in my cohort has less than a 3.0.

    GinaJo replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing

    At the program I'm in you'd be on thin ice. You can only retake 2 science classes. You'd have zero wiggle room and really need to step it up to be competitive.

    GinaJo replied to DaniB77's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Are these mandatory fairs in your area? Typically they will stay off your back if you do "x" amount of job activities and you pick where you apply and what job fairs you attend. Hopefully it's not the much different in your area. My ex husband was on...
