Hi everyone! I passed A&P 1 with a A and A&P II with a B. Although I don't feel like I have learned anything in A&P II because I barely studied for it and just kept guessing on the exams and it help that my teacher kept adding a 15 point ...

Hi everyone! I am almost certain that I may get some negative responses from this post but I'm being realistic and just need some advice of what I should be aware of when trying to avoid germs as much as possible and still become a nurse. So I am an...

A nurse who has become a close friend of mine in my chemistry class is taking a few classes over to start her NP degree. She has really poor time management in which I have told her on occasion because she doesn't study for lecture at all and has alr...

I just got accepted into a BSN nursing program for the fall, and even though I'm excited to be on the right path towards my career I am still pretty anxious. Everyone in my family such as my grandparents, cousins, aunts, etc keeps talking about how t...

I agree with everyone point. But the OP does seems very intent on going to a private community college that she doesn't care what any of us think but she will learn in the long run.

Thank you for this!

I would also like to add that I took my microbiology w/lab class at my local community college and it was 10x as hard than it would be taking it at my university (or so I heard). I believe that my university professors make the courses very easy to m...

Yeah, I believe if it wasn't for the curves I would have pushed myself harder in that class.

My nursing school has an optional NCLEX prep class for $300 during the last semester.

I took gen chem 1 for this spring semester and I can say without a doubt it was harder than Organic Chemistry to me personally (I took this class before gen chem and scored an A). I believe this because gen Chen 1 had a lot of math and I wasn't any g...

I doubt it. My school only weighed the reading and math (as most other schools in my area of who utilizes the KAT exam). I scored a 73 with a 92 in reading and 79 in math. But I suggest you to speak with admissions at your school to get the real answ...

Yikes! I'm very good at writing paper but I've never been a fan of them. What class is this?

My nursing program has a 16 credit accelerated summer as well where you can take no fewer than 8 credits the 3 semester.... It seems scary. Please let us us know how your semester is going and I wish you the best of luck!

I wish you the best of luck! I don't have any children but I can relate, I babysitt my 7 month old brother every day for 8 hours and he's a handful and a joy at the same time. Plus, he just got out of the hospital from a 11 day stay so I have been s...

Me too! This is first summer that I'm not officially working or in school and I'm bored out of my mind. I miss being in school because it gave me something to do and it's all I know sadly. But good news: I also start my nursing program August 21st an...

Couldn't you just get the degree in "pre-nursing" then apply to a BSN program with that to pursure your RN? Because I'm pretty sure you can. So, make a list of all the BSN programs you would like to apply for then look up the needed requirements and...

I took both Pysch 101 and 102 (Lifespan Development) in the same semester and was really easy to get high A's in both. Same with nutrition in which I took that with 6 other classes. Of course there is paper writing, reading, and research projects as...

Does anyone not know their final grade(s) yet? I still do not know what my grade will be in my statistics course because my prof never post are grades so I don't know what I got on my last exam (and apparently I will never know)....I'm so anxious to ...

Personally.... I would not want to miss a full week of stats while being considered 'horrible' at math. I took stats this semester and I only missed 1 day of class but I still felt behind because I couldn't teach that type of math to myself so easily...

Are you applying to more than one program? If so, I personally would choose the second but only because it is not ''intro to chem" and can be more widely transferable. But if you are only interested in applying to one specific program that requires i...

I was actually in a similar situation such as yours....2 years ago I had the opportunity to go to LPN school for FREE. So my mom kept telling me to do it now so I don't have to waste years on trying to become a BSN RN but I chose not do it because be...

I just got accepted to the only school I applied to with a 4.0 GPA and about a 73 on my entrance exam. It took my 4 semesters of prerequisites before I was able to apply for it.

I do plan on it and hopefully it is treatable. Thank you for the advice!

No, I haven't started clinical yet. And I haven't always been a germaphobe it just started about 1.5 year ago in which I was not this obsessed with until I took microbiology and it kinda fueled the fire from there.

Great suggestion!
