Tonight was my first A&PI class and I'm sooo scared!! The class is very overwhelming!! :uhoh21: My instructor says to study 10 hours a week and if you don't have an A or B in the middle of the semester, then drop the class!! For the school, you need a C or better in A&P for the nursing program, but it is VERY competitive!! Anyone else feel overwhelmed by this class?? Also, my instuctor said if you're going into nursing, then you should get a job in a hospital - I've tried to, but how are you supposed to if you don't have any experience?? I have a BS, but that doesn't help... Any advice/thoughts would be great!!! :)

I've heard Lawrence Memorial is hard to get into?? For you that have been accepted, what do you think?? How are your grades?? Thanks and good luck!!!

Thanks!! What other jobs can you do w/a nursing degree?? My only concern is the difference in degrees - ADN/BSN. I have an assoc. and BS degree in other fields. If I get my ADN, would I have to go on to get my BSN?? What's the difference?? Also, there is such a demand for nurses and a lot of people seem to be going into nursing now, will there be nursing jobs 3 years from now?? Thanks for the advice, it is very much appreciated!!!

Thanks for your reply!! Do you think that in a few years all nurses are going to need a BSN?? What's the difference if you have an Assoc. degree and are an RN compared to a BSN and are an RN?? Pay?? I will look into the accelerated BSN programs. Thanks for your advice!!

Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice. I recently graduated w/my BS in Sociology. I'm not sure what I want to do - Nursing or Teaching. My options are to go onto Grad school and get my MS in elementary ed. or go to a comm. college to get my Assoc. in Nursing (RN). I'm not sure if I did choose nursing and get my Assoc., would I eventually have to go on and get my BSN?? ANY advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
