   WishfulThinker replied to FutureNurse81's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow....this person has acknowledged that they are just figuring out what they really want to do and they have acknowledged that they have screwed up until this point. I think your post was rather harsh considering you have no idea what circumstances ...

10. C+ Grades in the Science Prereqs

    WishfulThinker replied to LadyL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would either retake the class or take the other classes that you need and apply AFTER you take them. That way one C+ in a sea of As and Bs won't look too terrible and your GPA will be higher than if you apply before takaing those classes. It shows ...

    My boys are 2.5 and 8.5. I study when they are sleeping or in school. So far this arrangement has worked out. It is getting easier as my youngest gets older.

    I have all As in my pre-reqs and co-reqs so I feel like I will do well. I juggled mirco and a&pII at the same time while raising 2 kids and working part-time so I know I can do it. I just feel better knowing I can focus on my nursing classes and ...
