1. Another "Am I good enough" Post!

   conjer replied to JCadmus's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you barely meet the minimum and you have to ask if you should retake it, then you should retake it. It's always better to go for another attempt and secure a seat than to try to scrape by. The minimum required score isn't usually the score that ge...

2. Worried about not getting into a nursing program

   conjer replied to 301589's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I hate to say it, but if your prereq GPA is 3.3 best case scenario, then I don't think you'll get into a program in California. If you look at applicant pool statistics, the people that are getting accepted to programs in California have very high GP...

3. Week 1 and already drowing

   conjer replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you made flash cards? Try making them with pictures on them, then practice them multiple times a day. This helps me because i'm a visual learner. Expose yourself to the material more and in different ways and it'll stick.

4. Week 1 and already drowing

   conjer replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   First, take a deep breath. You can do this. Do you use a planner? How have you been allocating your time? Focus on time management. Break it down into smaller tasks. Study little by little everyday. For me, the only thing that helps me feel less stre...

5. Best way to memorize anatomy and physiology terms

   conjer replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Make it meaningful. Annotate, ask questions, paraphrase the text, draw pictures, synthesize the information that you can, etc.

6. Please advise me on my chances (Massachusetts)

7. What 3 classes should i take together?

   conjer replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I tried not to work while taking some of my science courses, but if i had to, i definitely didn't work full time.

8. What do you think of taking Pharmacology online?

   conjer replied to herewego23's topic in General Students

   In my opinion, the class will be what you make of it. You can either work diligently and do well, or put it on the back burner and receive an undesirable grade in the class. As long as you are proactive and you manage your time well, I think you can...

9. What 3 classes should i take together?

   conjer replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would take anatomy, nutrition and chemistry together first. Anatomy will lay the groundwork for physiology and chemistry could help with pharmacology. Or at least, that's what makes sense to me and it's similar to the order that I did my sciences i...

11. California Nursing Advice

    conjer replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    I agree, just getting accepted is the most important thing considering how competitive these schools are. You have to cast a wide net to see what you can get. But from what I've heard, CSU San Diego and CSU Sacramento are the most difficult programs ...

    Have you taken the TEAS yet? Keep in mind, you still have a bunch of prereqs to complete so you still have time to bring up your GPA.

    I've heard Dansko is really great, but they can be pricey.

14. California Nursing Advice

    conjer replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    Have you considered CSU Stanislaus? Their average GPA of admitted students ranges from 3.7-3.8; and average TEAS scores of admitted students seems to be in the low 80's. Are you able to retake classes? Aim for high grades and do well on your TEAS. C...
