1st semester was a big adjustment for a lot of people. Most, if not all classes for pre reqs just test on memorization. Nursing classes test on application of what you know (aka critical thinking). It may be hard online but make good friends in your ...
Hmm I would say for the most part yes. The tests they give are NCLEX style questions so that helps prepare you for it along with learning the material. I still plan on studying before I take it with UWorld or other NCLEX prep.

Usually each class is only 1 day a week. Theory class is probably around 2 hours but depends on the class. Well each semester you will have different clinicals to go to. 1st semester I was there from 6:30am-4ish. 2nd semester you have 2 seperate clin...

After the 9 weeks of skills and if you pass the med math test then you will finish the semester with 9 weeks of clinicals
Also you take a culture class for 9 ...

Its hard to tell without manually checking my GPA with a GPA calculator but so far I'd say its probably around a 3.0 or so. I don't really worry myself with getting the best grades (passing is 75%). Sounds like you will definitely be fine, there are ...
