    araew2129 replied to happiness_love's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with nflores78. Taking both those classes next semester, micro on MW and a&pII on TTH. Easier for me to do one subject a day and use any extra hours in the lab

    Help!! I'm taking online nursing prerequisites and I messed up!!

    araew2129 replied to AndreaH6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wife and Mom. How many pre reqs is too much.

    araew2129 replied to Hannah8708's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know what BSN programs can accept students with a GPA below 3.0?

    araew2129 replied to GabsterL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah. But I don't think taking longer to complete all the prerequisites and other classes will matter though. Especially if it is only for another semester or so to get to a 3.0. I am not sure there...

    araew2129 replied to MegWorth's topic in General Students

    I do agree with the previous poster that doing all 3 at the same time will be very difficult and not in your best interest as something will have to give. However, I think it is very harsh to talk...

    araew2129 replied to Awonder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    araew2129 replied to nursingstudent123456's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
