Pre-nursing

Study as hard and as long as you can. Having a high I.Q. also helps, but we can not choose what I.Q we have. If you have 150 I.Q then read the book once and lite studying will give you a (A), if you have a 100 I.Q. then you may have to read the boook 10 times and study nite and day to get a (B) out of a class. I'm iinto psychology so I belive I.Q. can be a messurement of how hard you will need to study. Also it will depend on what teacher you have, people in one clas will get a (A), while in the same course with another teacher, that efort will only be worth a ©. As my great unlce said who had a 171 I.Q. only cherry pickers maintain a 4.0 until they graduate, so dont worry to much about those that brag they have a 4.0. Any person with a 4.0 can be set up with some the hardest teachers at my college and lose their 4.0 so fast it would not be funny.

Hope this helps,

I also want to thank everyone for sharing their ideas. I, too, want to get the best grades and there were some awesome ideas. I am making a much needed career change and tomorrow I begin anatomy. It is a shortened course because it is summer semester but I have the summer off so I am going to focus on anatomy. If I am accepted into the program, it will begin Summer of 2007. They make their first round of picks at the end of September and then in February. I am so excited. I became a CNA when I was 18 and did that until I went to college at 24 to be an accountant (ugh!). I always felt I was missing my calling. Now at 39, I am going for it. My girl's are 18 and 14 so this seems doable. I am impressed by the post of the person who works full-time, goes to school full-time, married with 2 under 5. Wow! I have been so worried about the science classes for some reason. Maybe because I am married to a Pharmacist, his Mom has a BSN and owns a Home Health Care Agency, his Dad managed the area hospital's X-Ray equipment and his sister is a Pharmacist, too. They must have all done great in science. I should be ok. I looked at my transcript from my first degree and I had an A in biology. Anatomy tomorrow....here I come!
