I'm 22 now. I started college at 18 (different major) then at 20 realized I wanted to do nursing so my last semester was prereqs. Then the place I was working at part time went bankrupt so I had to...

For most nursing schools the minimum gpa usually doesn't get you in. For example, I know of a few programs with the minimum gpa of 2.5, but the only students that get in have a gpa of 3.3 or above. I...

Do you know the average gpa of accepted applicants for the nursing schools you want to apply to? The nursing school I am going to apply to has a point system, but I still need to be maintain aleast a...

For Fall 2013 I am going to take a&p 1 and statistics. Then apply for my ADN program starting in the summer. Spring 2014 I will finish my coreqs a&p 2 and micro right before I start the program, as...

Do not feel bad for pursuing your dreams older than you would have liked. Life happens! I started to feel the same way you do until I started a thread on here and got so many amazing and encouraging...

I start a&p in the fall and I have been pre-studying. I have heard of students getting their books early and studying the first few chapters to only find out that the teacher skipped those chapters....

I am happy this thread picked up so much. Hopefully other people that have felt this way will at some point read this and see going back to school at any age is ok :up:. Now here is an update on me...

No problem. Good luck!!! :up:

Biology isn't on the nursing catalog because it doesn't go toward your nursing degree. You just need to take it because the school requires it as a prereq to take a&p and microbiology. My CC in...

Do not rush through them, just focus on doing as good as you can on them so you won't have to retake them. Have you taken biology yet? At edison you need to take a biology class before you can take...

Yea, that is how most ADN programs are. They only look at pre/coreq gpa and no other classes count. Edison's nursing program prereqs are a&p 1 and stats. The coreqs are a&p 2, microbiology, english...

What classes did you take so far? I am kind of confused since you say a grade for a 1 credit class and none of the nursing prereqs are one credit. Admission really depends on how many points you get....

I really hope you can get over this because getting a pap smear can save your life if you get cervical cancer. I understand where you are coming from because I am very self concious about my labia...

I have to agree with vintagemother. I think you should work out a plan with your husband. Maybe you can give nursing school all your attention Monday to Friday. Then Saturday to Sunday you can...

It really depends on your school. The program I am applying to suggests having at least 7 out of the 9 pre/coreqs done before applying. I will be applying after the fall 2013 semester (with 7 done),...

I went to the prenursing orientation today. Just incase anyone was curious, the lowest point score to get into Lee this summer was 85. Good luck to all of you guys! Hopefully I will be in your...

It really depends on your location. I am going for my ADN because I had a different major before nursing and when I was 18 I didn't take it as seriously or learn good study habits. My cumulative gpa...

When schools do have preferences they give it to their residents. This is because the residents are residing in the state and paying their taxes, which helps fund the school. It depends on the...

No, you can't skip nursing school and take the NCLEX. A bachelors in a different degree wont do anything for you. In my state, immigrants with nursing/doctor degrees, experience and other...

1. It really depends on where you live. Call around the hospitals you plan to work at after you graduate and ask. In big cities they usually only hire BSN nurses in the hospital, but some rural areas...

I don't think the professor was unreasonable. It is the typical response of most professors. If you put down your syllabus's grading percentages I can show you how to do it. I do it all the time to...

No, you can not get your BSN online. The only people that can do that are ADN RNs. This is because in order to become a nurse, clinical skills are essential. For example, would you want a nurse to...

I'm going to be completely honest with you. With a 2.5 gpa it is very unlikely you will be able to get into any nursing program. That is usually the bare minimum to even apply for the program and...

If nursing is what you really want to do. Do NOT settle for anything else. Nursing is so hard to get into because there are so many people that want to do it. There is no nursing shortage for new...

You have a few options. Retake all the classes you didn't do good in to higher your gpa, but since it is a different major this is probably not your best option. Find a BSN program that only looks at...
