   Katie Bang replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing

   i stayed home for the first 15 months, she was strictly breastfed until she was weaned at 13 months old, never even had a bottle (not so much by my choice, but after about 6 months of trying a bottle i gave up!) so she was very attached to mommy. aft...

   Katie Bang replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing

   look for different options close to home, there's more than just rn, or bsrn programs. i did not get accepted to the rn at a local c.c. twice, so i looked into lpn, bsrn, cna, anything to get my feet wet (i have a 2 year old, and am pregnant with our...

3. Are private schools really easier to get into?

   Katie Bang replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have a 3.2 and applied to a community college 2 times and got denied. I had 33 credits, and worked really hard, I only had 1 C ever, AND the C.C. had 3 campuses with nursing programs. I then applied to South University (Tampa) and was accepted, and...

7. Any legitimate online nursing schools?

   Katie Bang replied to Katie Bang's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh I'm sure, I tried talking to an advisor, and then going to a different school altogether (Manatee County C.C.) and the advisor told me the same thing. I feel stuck, and aggravated about it! Maybe I can talk to the dean about making an exception. S...

8. Any legitimate online nursing schools?

   Katie Bang posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am very skeptical of online programs for nursing, and have not found 1 that seems legit. Has anyone found one that is the real thing? I have 30 credits of pre/co requisite courses for nursing, and have taken every single class except the nursing c...

   Katie Bang replied to milan18400's topic in Male Students

   I didn't read the other responses yet, so sorry if this is a repeat, but I would assure her that you are in shcool for HER, not to find a replacment. Let her know if she can handle her emotions, it will be worth it in 2 years when you are making good...

    Wow, I got the campus choice, but no letter about Sept. meeting, however she did email me with this same information. But only because I emailed the dept. asking when I would know!

    Katie Bang replied to josh101's topic in Florida

    They only look at your core classes when computing your gpa, a&p, Micro, Sociology, etc. I don't think the math even counts, unless you have the same grades as others, then they start looking at your other classes.

    I recieved an email from the nursing department after I inquired about when they would be letting us know- I was told they meet mid Sept. and send letters in Late Sept. So we ill know then!
