Pre Nursing Students...Arc!

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new to this thread. I'm a pre-Nursing student right now...I feel like everyone I come in contact with school is doing Nursing.

I still need to do my Chem, AP, and Micro, and I will be able to apply. Is there any advice for these classes? I have a couple of friends who are suggesting I take these classes by themselves so I can get the A in them. While the counselor says not to worry about it.

I'm def not a straight A student, and I really have to work to get my good grades, and grasp concepts, but that doesn't stop me.

However, at times I feel slightly discouraged as I know it takes awhile to get in, but there are times when I know the wait will be worth it. I just hope I get in the first, or second try.

Any advice?

I live in the greater Sacramento area...and I planned on applying to Arc, Scc, Sierra, Chico, Delta...

You want to get top grades in these classes to get into nursing school. If grasping concepts is difficult you may want to take the class alone or with a lighter load.

I took all my prerequisite classes in one semester, it was tough, but not impossible. My BEST advice is just form study groups in your classes. IF you are entering a lottery system you might get in on your first try. I got into my program in the bay area on my first try so it is possible. Good luck on pursing your degree:)

Woah.... How on earth did you do all prerequisites in one semester? That would be 32 credits of prerequisites for my university... In one semester!?

I took my micro, and physio by themselves since I was working full time too. I believe this helped me get a better grade in each of those classes. I wasn't a straight A student either.

I took Chem and English 300 in Jan 2010 at ARC!

Then I thought I could take A&P1 in summer at ARC. No Bueno.

I couldn't get into A&P1 for fall, so I had a semester off. I tried adding And the instructor wouldn't entertain the idea.

Took A&P1 at Folsom the next spring. Along with engl critical thinking and medical terminology.
