Georgia State Nursing Spring 2016

hopefulrngsu · Jul 19, 2015

I'm not the best in chemistry, so organic chemistry kind of worries me lol. I have the textbook and looked around a bit and i've never learned that stuff before. Was it a lot easier than A&P though? I think the worst part of Chem 1151 was the ACS exam at the end, do you know if it's curved a lot for 1152 as well? How does the class work, like, do you get case studies, how many tests, any extra credit?

No case studies, only homework, tests and quizzes. She tried ti do the whole attemdace thing via learning cataytics but it didnt really workout. I have her revised syllabus for after spring break because e got behind a little but I can send you the original one once I get off work. Its on my laptop. I don't really know how to use this website but I can email it you. I think the ACS is curved, it has to be a lot of people would have failed if not.

For the lab final, go through all the labs and know how to do the calculations.

I think A&P is easier than chem, esp the orgo part. The biochem part, I didn't really study as much as I should have because of A&P. In A&P you learn what happens to lipids so you wont have to worry about the orgo part of it because you know what makes up a lipid.

From her Syllabus:

Course points are calculated as follows: Maximum Number of Points

Sit in front of her, she notices who's coming and trying. Do not leave early, she notices and will point you out.

Wow, thanks a lot for that! It's a similar grading scale to Chem 1151, but i'm pretty sure in terms of content it's harder. I'm not very familiar with this website either, my email is [email protected]. I can send you the Nurs 2010 syllabus if you'd like as well :).

jael1 · Jul 19, 2015

I would love that, thanks! I sent you the email with the revised schedule, I'll send the original when I get home.

The content can be hard but I think DR. Navarro tries to make it easy, I sucked at it and I made it out with an A+ v.s my A in A&P

Hey guys! i'm applying for the traditional and ace tracks for the spring as well. Sadly my GPA's aren't as good as yours but I do have work experience and a high TEAS score so i'm hoping that gives me some leverage.

hopefulrngsu · Jul 20, 2015

Hey! Their acceptance works on a points system, which i'm not sure if I can disclose the details of on a public forum since the advisor didn't even let me keep the paper lol, but if you haven't already, I would definitely talk to Hugh Grant. He can tell you straight up whether you have a good chance of being accepted or not and will take you through how many points you have personally. I think I can say, though, that it's out of 40 points and 30.5 was the cut off for ACE and 26 was the cut off for traditional. I don't think you need to worry too much though, Ibethel1, I have a high GPA but a lower TEAS score, and he said I have a pretty good chance, and since you have it the other way around you should have a good chance in either program as well :)

Ibethel1 · Jul 21, 2015

I definitely will talk to Hugh Grant! Thanks for the tip!

I would try to bump that TEAS score to the high 80s/low 90s. No harm in taking it once more - now you know the style of the test and will likely score higher. Good luck!!

hopefulrngsu · Jul 21, 2015

Did you go to GSU's nursing program, seasidesoul? I was considering taking the TEAS again to get in the 90's, but was advised against doing so. My councelor told me I have high enough points to get in, but i'm still a little paranoid with a lower TEAS score lol. The test is also very expensive; it would cost me another $120 to take it again :/.

Ibethel1 · Jul 22, 2015

Has anyone else noticed how the TEAS test cost varies day by day? I swear the price is different every single time I check lol

Yeah, it's crazy! It currently costs a lot more than what I paid for, and I took it just a month ago.

jael1 · Jul 25, 2015

Yes! Before I saw it for $70 and I checked again and it was $96!
