  1. Denied Nursing School.... Again

    Is 2.9 your cumulative GPA/overall GPA? Do any programs that you can reasonably get to use prereq GPA, science GPA, last 60 hour GPA as the determining factor? For example, a few programs in my area use a point system with prereq GPA used for initial...
  2. Be more confident they say

    Practice makes you more confident. Lots of practice if you have such performance anxiety. Does your program offer open lab hours? For my check offs I pretend that I'm on a cooking show or making a YouTube video. I don't really acknowledge the profes...
  3. How to Take Science Nursing Prerequisites

    Great general overview of the pre-req grind. I would just add that all program requirements are not the same and one should really talk to a program advisor for each program that they plan to apply to.
  4. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    What is APHY 102? For what it's worth I took both microbiology and general chem. I preferred microbiology especially the lab portion. I guess micro is more helpful to me in nursing school with like infection control, immunity, etc.
  5. Is it worth taking time off from school if I dont love it?

    I think you owe it yourself to take a semester/quarter off if you are questioning yourself. I think it would be better to question your decision now before shelling out the money for an ABSN then afterword and be stuck with the debt. I would not take...
  6. Inappropriate instructor/student relationship?

    I think it is inappropriate for them to ask the instructor and for her to agree to look into the section instructors. It's annoying that they would have a heads up but it just one of those life things. I'm at the point in my program where I would ju...
  7. How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

    My clinical instructor didn't really make us do anything. She did assign us patients though. Some people choose to sit and do their entire care plan but I wanted to 'get my money's worth' and created my own learning experience. Anytime the nurses or...
  8. Nursing Grading Scale

    My scale is similar. However, I don't think the scale is that big of a deal, in and of itself. I've bounced around to many schools due to relocating a lot. Outside of the (hard/natural) science and sometimes math departments, this is the normal scale...
  9. Help! How did you pass Chemistry 1032!!

    Is CHM 1032 a general chemistry class?
  10. Taking stats and worried

    As a general statement: No, your chances of being a nurse are not over. Getting into a nursing program boils down to two things: 1. The criteria for admission set by a specific program. 2. The other applicants applying for the same program at the s...
  11. What Should I Do?

    I took all those classes in one 15 week semester, earned a 4.0. At my school, AP II and Micro were perfect together as there was a lot of overlap in content namely the immune system. Statistics made me want to pull my hair out. I hated every minute ...
  12. Nerves, Nerves, nerves everywhere!

    Ignore the instructor. I just talk loud so they can hear me and talk to the manikin like they are an actual patient. If I have to inform them of anything I just basically just state it as if I were talking aloud to myself. I find their writing and at...
  13. Starting the 4 year RN program at 29

    I mean it really doesn't matter. If you want it, go for it. Don't know too much about ultrasound but if it is flexible you can do it while completing your pre-reqs and while in your RN program. I'm 27, currently in fundamentals. I will be 29 when I f...
  14. I took AP I and General Chem together and AP II and Micro together. I would NOT recommend taking Chem and AP together if you can at all help it. They are two different heavy science courses that need loads of separate study time. AP II and Micro were...
  15. How hard is stats compared to A&P?

    I am strong in math and actually enjoy it. While Stats has calculations in it, it is more about the interpretation/analysis of said calculations. The interpretations drove. me. NUTS. For reference, I took AP II, Microbiology, and Statistics last seme...
