Mama bear I think I did not make my point clearly, I believe that grades should not be the only determining factor in the selection process for nursing school. I have met many "hardcore academic"...

I am so excited to start the program I a few weeks! My GPA is 3.9 in the prereqs and I took all of the support coursework and classes needed for the BSN such as sociology, nutrition, and lifespan...

I have spent a lot of time thinking about the process of becoming a nurse ie.) pre-reqs, entrance exams, specific requirements such as becoming a licensed certified nursing assistant, etc. An...

I'm in Kamanga CNA school in Tacoma and I love it. It is three weeks long and goes from 9am-3pm M-F but they have night classes, part time classes, and weekend only classes with different schedules....

When people criticize one another for having less than "pure" motivations for wanting to become a nurse I laugh!!! Everybody has the right to go to school, put in the time, the effort, and the money...

My own Cellular Biology Professor said that the subjects of Microbiology and Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 are not related enough for the sequence of Micro before or after A&P to matter. She said it's...

Well, that's fair. You are being honest. I respect that. But I must admit you don't exactly extend a warm welcome with your words and neither does Lisa from Maui or a lot of other posters. I guess ...

i wasn't surprised in the least to see this thread was filled with warnings to the mainlanders about the pitfalls and enormous obstacles of relocating, living, and working in hawaii. the thinly...

Every program is different. I would start with narrowing down the schools you want to apply to. Some charge an application fee, some are free to apply. Some accept Nurses for Fall, Winter, Spring...

Well I suppose this response if for Petunia2016 and Lisa from Maui, but I hope it reaches others too. I am not a native to Hawaii. My ancestry is not so well known but my maternal Grandfather was...

I took Inorganic Chem with Dr. Billy Flowers. Highly recommend him! I got a 3.8 but I only took it once. Many in the class were forced to take it more than once to earn a high enough grade. I'm...

Well don't give up. You never know!!! Question: is your 3.2 GPA your cumulative or is that the cumulative of the courses that are used to give you your "factor points"? If you don't know what I...

Lisa From Maui: Yes, I think that I made myself clear that I'm a resident in Washington State and that I am currently competing with literally thousands of students for the coveted few spots open at...

Congratulations on finishing your prereqs and good luck on your application!!! I have a friend and know a couple of others who are applying right after this quarter (finishing up Micro, and A&P 2)...

What is NOT COOL is your attitude. I realize that people tend to get very territorial and even hostile in desperate economical times. I too, feel the heat as I am preparing for nursing school. I...

It's a tough time everywhere. You want the hospitals in your state to be forced to hire only state residents so that you won't have to compete. We have to compete in Washington State, new grads are...

Who did you have for Medical Terminology. I'm signed up for an instructor whose last name is "Gray". The class is a hybrid so it meets once a week and then is supplemented online.

thank you : )

I'm in a nursing school prereq class: I would say that 75% of the class is below the minimum grade they would need to apply to nursing school. Many students have already dropped the class, several...

You are so positive and encouraging. I'm at OC now and I find a mix of helpful students and kind of cut throat students. Of course I gravitate towards the helpful ones and we all help each other out....

If you need something as a prerequisite to your program you'll need to get the minimum grade requirement and pass/fail won't cut it. However for a class that isn't required for your program you can...

If you've taken classes at Shoreline or Tacoma Community College please respond: I'm taking Chem 131 next quarter and then I'll be doing A&P 241 in the Spring. I'd like to get a medical terminology...

What about for your prereqs? Doesn't it help to take Medical Terminology before taking Anatomy and Physiology?

You've got to go to the Olympic college website and read the ADN section. The maximum points you can get is 13 not 14. And that is only if you take all of the pre reqs Chem 121, Chem 131, A&P 241,...

yeah it sure is competitive. I live in Port Orchard so Olympic College is my first choice TCC would be second and after that I'll be in a real pickle if I don't get in to one of those two. But where...
