pre reqs

I cam take a&p now and micro later on does that mean im going to get my butt kicked bt a&p because i have no background in micro?

No. Micro is not the same as A&P. A&P was a pre-req for my Micro class and had I taken Micro before A&P, I don't think I would have done as well.

A&P is the foundation for nursing.

Ive heard people say it takes 2 years to do them. How mant classes are These people taking, ans how many classes did they take a semester. At my CC pre reqs are only 4 classes amd you can finish them in 1 semester

Pre-reqs time depend on the student.

Many students have to take developmental courses before they can get into the pre-reqs. Also, many students at my school had to take BIO and Chem before the could get into A&P. That alone takes 2 quarters (if taken together). I was lucky enough to have my credits transfer from high school, so I didn't have to do that. And I didn't have developmental courses to take either.

Also, if you go part time, it's going to take longer.

the way people make it seem is that its impossible to get into a nursing school but

the way i think of it is if you were rejected from one school with a 3.75 or higher could you still be accepted elsewhere or is that dream shot down too

Many people try to get into many different schools. So just because you're rejected from one school doesn't mean you will be from another school.

Some people have a real hard time passing classes. I know a girl who has been trying to get her nursing degree for 4 years. She has never made it to clinical. She keeps failing classes and she just lost all of her financial aid.

my goodness what happened to her? is she distracted by work maybe a child to take care of?

No idea. My psych teacher told us about it. He's also an advisor. He told her that school was just "not for her.'

LOL!

I see i want this no i need this my psych teacher is hotrible but ill try really hard to get an A. Man i thought a&p was going to be my hardest class

I applied to second-degree accelerated BSN programs and got my prerequisites done in 1 year. I took classes at different schools simultaneously so I had blocks, quarter, and semester courses at the same time. It was pretty busy at times but doable if you are a student who does not mind to be slightly overworked This allowed me to apply to all schools of my choice in the same application cycle.

some valuable information here

Thanks. I tried to condense it into an easy recipe, lol. I went through all of that, evaluating time and cost for various health career options, since I am a career changer and I want to make sure I don't waste time and money. :)

Lots of "how long does it take" is when can you get into the classes. I had to wait a while to get A&P at the community college, where it cost $749 for 4credits with a lab. My other option was Penn State, where a 4credit class with lab cost a whopping $2010. For ONE class. So, I did everything else and then managed to get into the $749 A&P I&II last. Whew! lol

Woah waiting to take a&p thats crazy. I just have trouble getting into the program not the classes. And for penn state did you get any financial aid or maybe work study grants?

No, I had a decent income until that contract job ended, so I would not have qualified for any aid. I did one to two classes per semester while working, so I just slid some other class in there and waited for the lower cost A&P to open up. If it hadn't, I'd have just cussed (to myself) and paid Penn State, the robbers, lol.

I was planning on a local diploma RN school, there are actually two, and both require a certain "big 8" classes to be completed before you start the nursing part.
