Hello, I am currently enrolling for the last of my prerequisite courses before applying for my ABSN(yay!). I see that most programs require Statistics but apparently there are multiple statistics courses. Does any Statistics course meet this requirement? For example, the school I am taking my prerequisites have Statistics (which requires another math class before I can join) and Statistics and Probability (no requirements). I am a non degree student so I have the flexibility of applying at other schools but this school already approved my application for the fall semester since I took courses there this Summer.

Hello, I know for MDC statistics is not required but I would like to retake the course for a better grade. There are other programs that require statistics prerequisite and I was wondering whether a "Statistics and Probability" course meet this requirement? I am sure this course would be fine for MDC. Has anyone applied to other programs with this same issue? I didn't realize there was a difference when taking math classes during my undergrad LOL

Hello, I am currently looking into programs in Miami and came across Miami-Dade College. I have my bachelors in psychology and am taking my prerequisites at the moment to apply to an accelerated program. Any information, suggests, or experiences would be very much appreciated! I am hoping to relocate to Miami for personal/professional reasons, but would like some insight on their program.

Hello, I want to give you all some background to my situation and maybe I can get some advice as I feel lost right now. Ever since I started looking into college my senior year of high school I wanted to become a nurse. Somewhere along the mess of information I got from multiple schools, my interests were pulled towards journalism, social work, OT, PT, etc. I did not know much about college and really did not have a lot of guidance in where to apply and what to search for so I started school as "undecided". I would always go back to nursing as my choice in career and even talked to a health advisor at my college. This school did not have all the pre-reqs I needed and after dealing with a few personal issues, I decided to transfer schools. I had received a low gpa by the end of my first and thought I would not be able to transfer to a school with a nursing program (my dream school was Binghamton) and so I became discouraged and applied to a school without the program but knew I would be accepted in and decided on getting my BSN after my second year. My new school did have the pre-reqs I needed and so I thought i would succeed there and continue onto getting my BSN. Within the first semester here I was constantly traveling back home as a family member was sick and unfortunately passed that november. My gpa was a 1.76 that semester. I was on academic probation the next semester and was a able to raise it to 1.93 despite working and getting extra help in my general bio course. that summer I took one course and raised it to a 2.01. As I was behind on courses (not all my courses transferred) I took six classes both fall and spring semester of my senior year and a class in the winter. At this point, I cared about passing just enough to graduate in time. I graduated with a 2.49 this May. I had spoken with the pre-health advisor at my school and was only told to finish my pre-reqs and apply to Hunter or NYU. As I have checked their requirements i believe I do not meet them since some of my pre-reqs are Cs and they accept Bs as their minimum. I did not do so well in my general bio courses, therefore, i thought it was best to take my science courses at a CUNY school. I have searched for schools specifically CUNYs (as i have been told i can only apply for loans since i received my first bachelors. I believe to take my pre-reqs I would have to apply as a non-degree student (?). I am missing my General Chem courses and Anatomy and Phsy; just about all my science courses that require labs. I hope someone can give me some advice as I am feeling a little discouraged. I have always excelled at school and so am disappointed in my college academics. I truly wish I could start over but am trying to find my way in succeeding in a career in nursing as ive always wanted. I am continuing my research and hope to start classes by Fall, the latest.
