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.
Guess I really won...
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...
Hmm not necessarily. A lot of it is memorization and understanding how certain drugs work with your body and what side effects they have. I did not purchase it.
Most people have gone on to next semester. I lost 3 of my classmates first semester ...
Depends on the semester and class. The hardest one for me most semesters is the med surg classes. I would say at least several hours a day with lots of breaks and stuff. It all depends on you though how much you understand the concepts and material.
Hmm a few of them work part time jobs (Target, Costco, CNA, ER Registrar) but other than that Im not sure. I think a fulltime job would be extremely hard if not impossible with clinicals, classes, studying, homework
Yes basically. 1st semester skills is a lot of what CNAs do and more. No problem!
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 ...
No you only have class like 2-3 times a week maybe like Tuesday Thursday Friday for example. The first 9 weeks you have a skills class which is all day 6:30am-5pm ish. And after the 9 weeks you start your clinicals and you take a medication math test...
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 ...
No prob! I don't mind answering questions at all, I know how it is to be in your shoes so keep asking more if you want

Theyve mixed in virtual simulations into our clinical hours to make up for the times we cant go in due to facilities having student restrictions due to covid. I did have 1 semester pre-covid and it basically is the same experience as before just less...
I felt the same way! Hmm well it definitely has gone by fast thats for sure LOL
1st semester- is the easiest but its quite different than pre-reqs so it seems hard in the beginning.
2nd Semester- By far the hardest for me and for a lot of p...
Applying was relatively easy process. I feel like its more nerve wracking now having to mail it in rather than drop it off in person like I did because you personally handed it to them compared to praying the post office will deliver it and not make ...

1) I did the same thing for psychology, i believe you should just put in AP english (as long as you passed it with 3 or higher). 2) Pretty sure the math you took above intermediate algebra should be sufficient 3) January 6 - February 7, 2020 is the a...

Just wanted to give everyone who is applying good luck! I just finished my first semester and started my second semester of the nursing program this previous week. A lot of people that I've talked to in the program (including myself) got in their fir...
Hey guys, I haven't seen anything posted about the application for Fall 2019 cohort. Deadline was yesterday the 15th. I am just curious to see how everyone feels about their chances and how many points they have. Letters are supposed to be coming lat...
