1. How did you guys take the Pharm/ Pathophys prereq?

   rtbcsu replied to espo44's topic in General Students

   I took Patho online from the U of Iowa w/o setting foot in the state of Iowa. You can set up proctored exams in your hometown, and you don't pay out of state tuition. Just make sure your school will accept the class before you take it.

2. Well, I'm a dummy!

   rtbcsu replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had a similar problem this summer. I had booked a cruise way in advance, then found my school wasn't offering the online version of a "transition" course this summer. I had to have the course to starting NS in the fall. I e-mailed the professor,...

3. A & P 1- online or classroom?

   rtbcsu replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took both semesters of A & P online, but with a show-up-in-person lab (which I scheduled at night). You have to determine your preferred learning style and your daily schedule to know what will work for you. For me, reading the book wins hand...

4. Exams unfair, and prof won't do anything about it.

   rtbcsu replied to katmarieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The same thing happened in my development psych class, but the professor adjusted the grade if you pointed out the specific questions that were the problem. In my opinion, it is a very lazy way to teach, and I would go over the professor's head if I ...

5. Anatomy and Physiology I online? Ever Done it?

   rtbcsu replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took both A & P classes and micro online and loved it. You are more or less teaching it to yourself by reading the book. But I still had to show up in person for lab.

6. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

   rtbcsu replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

   To rozlips, I will start the BSN program at Clayton State U. in mid August. I can't say enough good things about online classes, especially for students who work full-time grown-up jobs. I would not have been able to stand leaving work on time to f...

7. finish prerequisites completely before applyingor not?

   rtbcsu replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't know specifics about Texas, but it is not unusual in Georgia to be admitted pending completion of pre-reqs. You just have to tell them when you plan to take the classes, then have transcripts sent upon completion. Good luck.

8. Dadblamed Pre-Requisites!

   rtbcsu replied to rozlips's topic in General Students

   Look into taking the pre-requisites online. I am in the Atlanta area and took them from Ga Perimeter College. You still have to go to campus for lab, but you can do it at night. That gives your schedule some flexibility for work and family. And t...

9. With my mediocore GPA, is nursing school even possible?

   rtbcsu replied to dimpalz25's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I noticed your location is Georgia. I had a 3.0 in my first degree, made all A's in the pre-reqs I was missing, and was accepted by 2 of the 3 schools I applied to in the Atlanta area. So do well in the pre-reqs and on admissions tests, sweat the d...

10. Emory admission rates?

    rtbcsu replied to dohzenOFF's topic in Georgia

    I applied for the second degree BSN, not the BSN/MSN segue. They gave no explanation, just a standard rejection letter that said there were more applicants than places, blah, blah. I was accepted at both Ga Baptist (Mercer) and Clayton State and w...

11. Emory admission rates?

    rtbcsu replied to dohzenOFF's topic in Georgia

    I am surprised that GGT1's friend was accepted. Yes, Emory is an expensive school, but they do not lack for applications. I was not accepted as a 2nd degree student with a 3.0 on my first BS (biology major) and a 4.0 in nursing pre-reqs. Oh yeah, ...

12. Emory admission rates?

    rtbcsu replied to dohzenOFF's topic in Georgia

    I am surprised that GGT1's friend was accepted. I was rejected as a 2nd-degree BSN student even though I had a 3.0 with my BS in biology and a 4.0 in nursing pre-requisites. They don't care about the NET. Oh yeah, and I have spent the last 18 year...

13. Emory admission rates?

    rtbcsu replied to dohzenOFF's topic in Georgia

    I have heard that you need at least a 3.5 to get in, so I am surprised by GGT1's comment. I was not accepted by Emory as a 2nd degree BSN student. I had a 3.0 for my BS in Biology (many years ago) and 4.0 in nursing pre-requisites. In addition, I ...

14. I think we need a second degree student section...

    rtbcsu replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am a 47-year-old second degree student who didn't use any student loans for the first degree. So now I have been awarded some Stafford loan money, and planned to borrow the rest of what I need from a private lender. But the lending agencies are s...

15. Pathophysiology class

    rtbcsu replied to 2008el's topic in Georgia

    Clayton State offers Pathophysiology. Or you can take it online from schools outside the state, such as the University of Iowa.
