Yes, you should definitely apply. You'll want to double check with an advisor but the only individual grade they look at is your highest of the sciences mentioned in the packet, and to my knowledge they don't look at if there were retakes. So in your...

I'm a current student in the program. No, it is not easy, you are learning a lot of material and skills in just 2 years, but it definitely isn't impossible to do well. I've managed to maintain all A's so far, and while we have lost some students, it ...

No one can answer this because it depends on the school. Some won't and some will, though the ones that technically accept it may rank students in a way that it places you too low on the list to be accepted. More importantly though, I would be concer...

There are several schools with the initials RCGC. Which one are you looking at?

It sounds like you might be more of a hands on/application learner. Getting more practice applying the information you learn in class will probably help you retain it a bit more. Clinical can be great for that but if you're feeling rushed and stresse...

In previous years they accepted everyone that met the requirements to apply, but during the last admission cycle they got so many applications that they had to deny some people. Unfortunately, a C in A&P will put you towards the back of the appli...

Cancel the meeting and use that time to work on your assignments to get ahead of where you would have been otherwise. That is the first step you can take to make sure you don't get in that situation again. If I was your instructor I would wonder why ...

Either cover it with a bandage, or makeup.

You can think it's ridiculous, but you're the one that failed your program because you expected to be spoon fed all the content. You will not find a passing student whose instructors manage to cover 100% of the needed content within the lectures, lab...

I assume your actual nursing program starts in January? If I were you, I would take A&P1 in the winter before starting nursing, then A&P2 in January, and Nutrition and Micro over the summer. Getting a refresher in A&P before you start the...

Relying only on exams to determine your grade is not uncommon at all. My program is 4 exams and a final that determine your semester grade, that's it. No extra credit, no participation points or graded assignments, no chance to pad your grade to make...

First, know that the first month, maybe longer, will probably feel pretty terrible. You might feel unsure of yourself, wonder what you got yourself into, and start thinking that there is no way at all you can do this. Those feelings are normal, and i...

I guess I'll stop checking the bookstore website for the book list if they won't have it ready until June. Hopefully they're changing to less expensive books, especially since they raised tuition for us.

When you say you do quizlet, are you making your own sets, or using other people's? The act of making the set yourself goes a long way in helping you retain information. To give you an idea, this is how I handle each chapter in A&P: I take notes...

I did accelerated (7 week) classes for both A&P1 and 2 this semester so that I could get them both done in 1 semester instead of 2. In addition to those courses I'm also taking public speaking and ethics this semester. The classes are hard for su...

NJ universities must accept courses from community colleges within the state. Years ago there were issues with them refusing to do so in an attempt to discourage students from attending 2 year colleges then transferring to 4 year schools, to save mon...

I joined when invited this semester. Being a member makes me eligible for more scholarships offered by local organizations through my college, plus it's one extra thing to set me apart from an otherwise similar candidate for a scholarship, BSN progra...

I've seen it recommended very frequently that students begin studying for the NCLEX at the beginning of their program, rather than waiting until the end. I start my ADN program in the fall, and I'd like to get an NCLEX book now to use as I go through...

I handed in my physical/labs/CPR cert packet today and they checked it over to make sure it was all correct. I only got a 1 step PPD and they said that was fine so no need to do the 2 step.

I don't remember them saying anything about 2 step at the info session (possible I went to a different one than you did though). The paperwork only mentions the 1 step so that's what I did. I just got mine read today and picked up all my bloodwork. I...

OP, when you say UTA do you mean University of Texas Arlington? If so, it looks like they unfortunately require a 75% in all sections to apply. https://www.uta.edu/conhi/_doc/unurs/CB-BSN-UD_admission-brochure.pdf

Unfortunately it all depends on how your school ranks candidates and how competitive admissions are. My school would not accept those scores for entrance because the vocab is below their minimum of 80%. There's not much you can do though if you don't...

If you took anatomy 5 years ago and never looked back I would definitely take a&p 1 and 2 before starting a nursing program. They won't stop to teach you that foundation knowledge, you'll be expected to know it already. As an added plus, if you n...

Here is something I just found that may be what is happening in your situation. It's buried in a long forum thread so I will copy the relevant post here: "Clearing your arrest or criminal record can be tricky. The first thing you need to do is consul...

I'd be at the courthouse today with documentation asking them what you need to do to get it fixed. I'd also be at the nursing office of your school with that same documentation letting them know that it's an error and you are getting it fixed. Depend...
