Edison state college fall program

I decided to start a new thread, maybe future students could be in contact with each other during this waiting process. : )

I am not a Fall student yet, I am still "pre-nursing" finishing up my pre reqs and some of the classes I need for my BSN while Im at it, I suppose Im dragging my feet in applying to the program for fear of rejection, or changes to my current schedule (Working full time and have 2 little ones) regardless Im slowly plugging away at classes. Currently taking Sociology at Collier Campus for Summer B, just finished Comp II. In the Fall I am taking speech, intro to spanish (I didnt take 2 years in H.S.) and a stupid Intro to BIO class they now require since I took Marine Bio in highschool. Im tossing around the idea of retaking the nutrition class again - I did it online last summer and got a C and it is really dragging my GPA down and every point counts, anyone know if they hold it against you for retaking a class, and what the point deduction is if you do?

Have you already applied? Are you at the Collier, Lee or Charlotte Campus?

I don't think they hold it against you, although you will have to pay out of state rates to retake a class that you passed with a C. I applied for Lee/ day program. I have also taken most of my gen eds for my BSN. I just need spanish and statistics. Have you taken the hesi yet? I would take that first before retaking nutrition, you might get enough points without retaking a class. Good luck to you!

i have not, and the more i have been thinking about it today the more i have realized i should get the practice books and study for it so i can take it right after a & p 1 (which i have heard you should take before taking the hesi? yes/no? :confused: ) that way if my score is to low i can retake it a second time, and if i still score low, i have a year to wait out before i can try again so in that year i can knock out a & p 2 and micro.

i wonder, if i only study for the hesi will that prep me for the teas, i have read some who thought it was harder than the hesi and others who thought the teas were easier? since i plan to apply for both edison and fgcu (possibly depending on if i finish up all of the co-requisites for the bsn program) i will have to test for both of them separately

I would definitely finish A&P 1 and 2 before taking the Hesi. I found that most of the information on the test was from Anatomy 2. No, they don't hold it against you if you retake classes, since you are listing your highest grade. Good luck!

I agree with patriotmd almost all the questions were from A&P 2. So it's best to wait until you take it before taking the hesi. I'm not sure about the Teas test if it is harder or not. I only studied the hesi review book and scored above a 90 on it. Just try and get A's on the remainder of your classes, to help bring up your GPA.
