    Going Back to Nursing School. Advice?

    Tacocat replied to alexis71's topic in General Students

    This is my second time in nursing school. The first time I chose a school that was easy to get into, but cost a ton of money. My funding ran out and I was forced to withdraw because I couldn't afford...

    Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    Tacocat replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you meet with an admissions advisor to discuss your application? At my community college program, they had a rule where anyone who wasn't accepted to the program had to meet with an advisor before...

    Favouritism in nursing school!

    Tacocat replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    You only know what you saw of your peers. It doesn't necessarily mean favoritism -- people can excel at things that you are absolutely unaware of. If nurses "wrote your instructors emails about you,"...

    How to be in the honors society for nursing

    Tacocat replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same as any other honor society? Scholarships, resume fodder, looks good when applying for Master's programs, special tassels at graduation,

    Help on getting into nursing school

    Tacocat replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your GPA for the biology degree was low, I'm not sure how beneficial it would be in a competitive program. Would you consider "starting over" at a community college? It's not the degree itself that...

    Low prerequisite GPA, decent cumulative GPA

    Tacocat replied to mrstgs's topic in General Students

    Check the requirements of the program you're interested in applying to. Some programs won't allow you to take certain core pre-reqs more than 2-3

    Can you retake A&P 1 to strengthen your transfer

    A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    Tacocat replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm surprised a college is going to let you take the AP1 at the same time as AP2, because usually 1 is a prerequisite -- you need to learn stuff from there first in order to be successful in the...

    I do NOT recommend Laboure. I went there for a semester. It's $10K per SEMESTER of Nursing classes, and it's very disorganized. They push you through your pre-reqs and give you the minimum passing...

    Tacocat replied to QueenDanii79's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The TEAS has to be timed; if your exam wasn't timed either electronically or by the proctor your score will be invalidated by ATI. The best thing you can do is time yourself when you take practice...
