4.0 Challenge!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello everyone! I'm a pre-Nursing student with two semesters of pre-reqs to do before I can apply to the Nursing Program at my University. Who wants to start a support thread and help motivate each other? We can list our classes for the fall and report back with updates/venting/encouraging as needed. I'll start:

A&P I with Lab

Fundamentals of Organic & Biochem with Lab

Nursing 110 (a survey introductory course at my school serving as an overview of Nursing)

Sociology 105

I'd love to hear what everyone is taking! Good luck, you can do this!

:specs::)

Got 3 A's! (AP1 w/lab, Nutrition, and Organic and Biological Chem w/lab)

Nervous about the Spring though!!

I beat the challenge for another semester! I'm proud to say I'll be able to apply to my nursing program with a 4.0! I still have a few gen eds to knock out by the time I start nursing school, so I'm hoping to keep my 4.0 until then!

But once nursing school starts, all bets are off! lol!

I got a 4.0 my first semester but I wasn't able to take any science courses. I took English 101, algebra, humanities, an activity (we have to take two), and guidance. So pretty easy. I have biology, chemistry, psych, and anthropology next semester. Gonna work really hard to keep my gpa up!

Leadership development honors

Contemporary Lit honors

I am an idiot, but a couple of the required classes didn't count toward my financial aid grant, so I had to take 18 freaking credits just to qualify for full time. I want to die. I'm also doing an international politics class in summer term, but because it is a study abroad program (going to France and Belgium this July), ALL the work is to be completed during the spring term. While working full time as an LPN. UGH. I did 18 credits last semester too with much more science, but these classes have so much darn busy work! I'd rather have a couple big exams than a thousand mini-assignments due every week.

If I don't make it, tell my family I love them (and the medicaid coordinator for my patient that I hate her).
