Hey! I'am thinking of taking statistics through portage as well to boost my gpa. got a c in it years ago. So A&P 1 does not use the lockdown browser, and you get an hour for both module exams and lab exams. and 1.5 hrs for final.

Okay. I'am hoping to get into Linfield, turning in my application tonight. Fingers crossed.

did u ever end up getting in anywhere? my GPA is similar

Yes can people please share their GPA's Thanks! Applying for summer and/or fall 2020.

Yeah it's the same as the pre exam. might change a couple questions up. I finished the course with an A.

K so I'm in Micro on Portage right now! so far so good. It's easy and not overbearing. Hoping to finish in a week!

thanks for responding. I just wanted to hear the worst of it while I'm taking prerequisites so I know what I'm getting into. What was the reason why you left the bedside?

PortageLearning.com it's regionally accredited and it's through Geneva College in Pennsylvania

Thank you for your response

So I know this is a broad question, but seriously, what is nursing really like? Looking past all the girls posting cute pics in their promoted scrubs on Instagram, what is nursing really like? like day to day, are you constantly cleaning up poop? bathing patients? inserting catheters? lifting your patients and almost breaking your back in the process? People always talk about the bad side of nursing in a very general way, but I want to hear the absolute worst of it. Like why do so nurses say they cry in the parking lot before their shift? is it really that bad? and if so, tell me the REAL reason why.. thanks in advanced

I'm currently on my last two lab exams and then the final exam! Hoping for an A! Currently at 86% I'll be starting A&P II shortly after. Ready to get these courses over with lol

gotcha...I do have a couple B's tho. We'll see! Ihad a friend get in 2018 with a C in statistics. so idk. SHe had good health care hours tho. So I'm assuming she got the 5 extra points

what were your grades in all your classes? I'm hoping to apply to Clark in April 2020

I've taken Nutrition as well. Currently in A&P 1 almost done with course. Then I'm taking statistics. Ugh lol. Surprisingly, I've had no issues with schools that I've inquired with about Portage Learning. All they say is as long as it's regionally accredited it's fine, and if they don't take online science courses then that's it.. I'm in Portland OR btw

Oh man. Yeah babies and school are challenging. Good luck to you too!

Thank you for the feedback! I'm hoping to finish AP1 by the end of September so I think I'll have plenty of time to absorb all the information. Ugh I just want to get into the nursing program already! lol.

Are the lab exams timed? How long did it take to complete the course? (estimated) I've just purchased it so I'm about to start today. Did you complete a module exam/lab exam everyday? Nutrition was easy. 6 modules and a final exam, I completed in 3 1/2 weeks. I ended up with an 87% which pisses me off lol because I was so close but got a 75% on one exam because I was tired taking the exam and made silly errors. Alas, a B is a B. You'll def get an A and its a quick course, also pretty interesting. I'm excited to start A&P1 and just get it over with hopefully before the end of September. I only have A&P2, Micro, and Chem, (possibly Stats to apply to other programs) to go and I can finally apply to nursing programs in Feb 2020. Portage Learning has been a dream come true. Please keep checking in on this thread so we can keep it going and others can see as well.

I say take A&P 2 and do really good in it. Then go back and retake 1. This is only if your C was from laziness, and not actually not understanding the material

Hi, I wanted to create an updated thread for PORTAGE LEARNING as most are somewhat old, or sporifice-ish. Here can you please answer: What classes you took? How easy or hard were the courses? Are you currently taking courses? Are the exams proctored/webcam proctored/ or just web page locked by the software they use? I' am currently in their Nutrition course and plan on taking the rest of my pre reqs there as the program I want to go to accepts them (they are regionally accredited). PLEASE SHARE =]

Did they require webcam and proctoring when taking the exams?

What are the pre reqs that you need to take? Did you not take what you needed during LVN/LPN school? What more do they need?
