   Nursing schools that are built for full-time workers probably should but probably don't exist. Especially for those who have a changing schedule like yours. Find a large community college that has the 'prereqs' built into thier 2 year program (thus...

2. Nursing school, setting you up for failure???

   CraigP replied to kstec's topic in General Students

   Let me get this straight - he was accepted into the nursing program when the GPA requirement to continue was 2.5, earned a 2.71, then they changed the requirement to 2.75 and would not allow him to go on to the second semester? If so, talk to the dea...

   CraigP replied to asgirl's topic in General Students

   Yes. I wish they would at least leave the A/B level the same rather than passing class after class with no As at all.

9. Hesi Tests

   CraigP replied to iluvdiddy's topic in General Students

   Wow, above 1000, not bad. I've had the psyc and 1st year Med-Surg and did ok. I have not found the Evolve case studies to be very useful. The NCLEX prep questions seem to be a better study model. And yea, the inability to go back is both a curse ...
