Simplistic

Weed should not be in your system, 4 months later. I would ask to be rescreened.

I became a nurse at 19 lol. How do you think I feel.

This depends on the school you go to. Some schools may have lower bars then others. At my school, its IMPOSSIBLE to maintain a 4.0 average. I took a test last semester, that was worth a huge chunk of our grade, and the highest grade was an 88! That automatically made it impossible for anyone to get above an A- for the course.

Its possible that some of your credits will transfer over from your original degree. But you will still most likely have to take all the science classes. You can complete most of your prerequisites online, but you will have to take your nursing classes in person. Is money an issue for you? If not, I suggest applying to an ABSN program.

If you get your ADN, you will not have to retake any of your classes. Financial aid depends on your income, but you will get it regardless if you get an associates degree or bachelors degree.

You definitely still have time to pull your GPA up. It is NOT too late. I suggest taking it slow though. Theres nothing wrong with only taking 1 or 2 classes at a time. Give yourself plenty of time to study so that you can get the best grades possible. Good luck!

Sorry, but I do not agree with your math. I got my associates degree from a community college in 2 years. I came in straight out of high school, and started taking nursing classes my first semester there. I took all the corequisites at the same time as my nursing classes, and even took some classes during the summer. The rn to bsn program is an additional year so in total it took me 3 years to get my bsn. Not saying it was easy, but it can be done.

So you are planning on taking 2 science classes and 2 math classes in 1 semester? O.o AND you are planning on working? That is a recipe for disaster. You should be aiming for A's, and not B's. I highly advise AGAINST taking that course load.

What are you trying to appeal? You took a test and failed.

My school only took into account the prereq grades for their nursing program. So, A&P, chemistry, statistics... and so on. Its best to check with your school regarding this!

This depends on your school. Some schools with allow you to finish your prereqs and you would just have to send them an updated transcript once you are done with the semester.

Thats definitely a manageable work load. My biggest tip is to stay on top of all your work and dont fall behind. If youre struggling with a particular concept, especially in A&P, then get help right away. Good luck!

Are you serious?

A&P is hard because theres ALOT of information and some of it is hard to understand. I found the workload to be comparable to a biology class. Just say on top of your work and be proactive. If youre struggling with a particular concept, ask your teacher for help. Dont wait until the last minute to get some clarification. Good luck!

Check out the hospitals/nursing homes in your area. Are they hiring nurses with associate degrees?

I found pharmacology to be mostly memorization.. I think you should be fine.

19 credits is ALOT to take in 1 semester, but looking from your list of courses, it looks like youre only taking 1 hard class (A&P), so I think you should be fine. Stay on top of all your work and dont fall behind. Good luck!

Good luck this semester! I took ob/peds last semester and DAMN, I studied nonstop. There is sooo much information. I really recommend the Davis Success books if youre looking for additional resources.

Keep in mind, that even though the required GPA is a 2.75, that doesn't mean you will be accepted. Those accepted will probably be in the 3.5 or higher range. I honestly dont see you getting into a nursing program with that GPA.

Honestly, for me, that is too old :/

Are you looking for free resources or are you willing to spend a little money? Theres a bunch of free sites if you just do a quick google search. Heres one HESI A2 Practice Test | Free HESI Exam Practice Questions I thought the test was very, very simple. My school only required an 80, so I did not study as much and as seriously as I should have. I spent around 2-3 hours studying in total and got a 94 on the test. The test was easier then I expected.

You do realize this post was from 2011?

Hmm.. I would probably take anatomy, physiology and nutrition in the 1st semester, and chemistry, microbiology and pharmacology in the 2nd semester. Keep in mind that your 2nd semester would be VERY time consuming since those are all hard classes. I think you would make your life a lot easier if you took at least 1 of your classes during the summer.

YES!!! Dont put all of your eggs in one basket!

This is a difficult question to answer because we dont know you or your study habits :/ For me, that would be completely doable and I would be able to make all A's.
