   TUhopeful replied to TUhopeful's topic in Maryland

   SB113, I also had a 3.7 something and a 3.8 science gpa. Your gpa should have been good enough but there may be something that held you back...if you re-took classes or did not score in "advanced" on the TEAS that may have hurt your application. They...

6. Prospective students, tell me what you think? I need opinions :)

   TUhopeful replied to SB113's topic in Maryland

   I've never retaken a class so I'm not sure about the policy on classes that are re-taken. You could call and ask. Yeah, the program is super competitive so sadly they really only consider GPA's and scores that are the highest.

10. Am I wasting my time going for my ADN?

    TUhopeful replied to ashleylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Many nurses that work as ADNs now have earned their degree prior to the horrific economy we are currently facing. They have experience so they will still find jobs and location matters too. But generally new nurses today will have MUCH better odds fi...

15. What courses did you take in conjunction with A & P?

    TUhopeful replied to hellonewyear's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took A&P1 with Sociology, english 2, and chemistry. It was very difficult for me because I had not taken many science classes yet. It seems like you have taken multiple science classes already so you should be fine!
