  1. Low Foundation GPA, what should I do?

    Most Nursing schools are strict on the GPA requirements and I haven't seen anyone get past them but by taking additional courses or retaking some classes you should be able to bring it up. Community...
  2. ADN vs BSN for nursing?

    I'd do research in the job market in your area, it depends on the employer. Nation wide, about 50% of RNs have a BSN and another 50% only have ADNs. In my state most major hospital will require ADNs...
  3. Finally decided on nursing

    Where are you located? Retaking all those classes had me stressed out just reading it lol. I've noticed a lot of LPN programs have less strict requirements for admissions, in my state, Ohio, you only...
  4. Do C's get degrees?

    If C's didn't get degrees then 75% of college graduates wouldn't have theirs. Lol it may be slightly different for Nursing students depending on how strict their schools are
  5. Air Force? Or wait until I graduate?

    Regardless of what career path you choose to be a Registered Nurse, you would need a degree rather it be a 2 year or 4 year doesn't make a difference. You also need to take the NCLEX to become...
  6. Semester is over / Psychology question

    Congrats on your grades!!! The difficulty of any class mainly depends on your professor. Psychology was simple and actually fun for me because I became more and more interested in the subject...
  7. Have a BA Degree does absolutely nothing for her in going for a nursing degree. No competitive edge or anything of the sorts. Nursing is a unique program that has specific requirements, and no matter...
  8. Could you clarify what was the actual question? From the looks of things you should stick the ADN Program, and after you complete it, focus on any remaining questions
  9. Best and cheapest online pre req

    Well I'm in Ohio and since I've graduated, I have to be accepted top the Nursing program before I ca appeal my financial aid do I'm paying for my prerequisites as well. I only have 1 left but the...
  10. Introduction/ Career advice

    Good luck on the deployment! You should study a lot of chemistry and anatomy and physiology. Anatomy and physiology seems to be the most difficult of the sciences as well as microbiology so learn as...
  11. The Pre-Burn Out

    I went through a hard time my 2nd semester of college a couple years ago and I got really depressed and like you, I completely stopped going. I failed 2 semesters in a row and I was academically...
  12. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    I absolutely agree!!!! You can attend a local accredited community college and graduate with a degree in Nursing debt free. I think because Nursing is in such high demand at the moment, schools are...
  13. Dismissed from BSN Program

    Good luck! I saw your newest post showing you were all set on going the LPN Route!!! If that doesn't work out, maybe you should consider another career
  14. I admire your passion and determination! If I were you, I'd go the ADN Route at a community college. Speak with a counselor at the college so they can outline the road you'll have to take before...
  15. What do I do if I don't get accepted?

    You should not worry about your age but realistically we all do no matter how old or young we are. If we aren't where we feel we should be career or academically in life, we tend to beat ourselves up....
  16. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

    No problem! And to clarify Financial aid doesn't necessarily stop, "Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant is restricted to students who do not already have a Bachelor's degree. If a student is...
  17. Thanks!! I am going to take the HESI this fall, at our school it only includes Reading and Math. No
  18. KU Nursing Program

    You have absolutely nothing to be nervous about with a GPA ending in 3.69-3.75, you're fine. Make sure you take a look at the prerequisites or speak to a counselor about them , I think you have to...
  19. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

    Congratulations on obtaining a Medical Assistant Certificate!! If you want to be a nurse, you shouldn't waste your time on completing other degrees at all, you should find out exactly what the...
  20. Its very common for RNs to have an Associates so don't panic. However, a BSN does offer a more broad scope of opportunity for career advancement. You don not have to have a bachelors to be a...
  21. I'm not in a BSN program, I'm in the ADN track (Associates) and it was required we have a 3.0 cumulative GPA to qualify for admissions to the program. So I would only think its a bit more selective...
  22. Kiss My Nursing Dream Goodbye?

    100% agree. If you already failed out of your first semester at a University, it'd make much more sense to try to earn an associates degree in Nursing first which does allow you to gain experience in...
  23. They want me to be an RN

    First of all, I just want to say that you are not alone. There are millions of people in their early twenties who sort of lost track of their long term goals so don't be so hard on yourself. I'm 22...
  24. Hunting for answers

    From the name of the College I'm assuming you live in Florida so I can't give any specified Colleges you might want to consider, I'm in Ohio. However, I do strongly recommend you do a 1-2 year LPN-RN...
