1. What is the best option for me? - Low GPA wanting ABSN

   marquisdelafayette replied to Hector10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   What's your degree in? Do you have any volunteer experience (in any area)? Do you have any healthcare experience? What grades do you realistically think you'll be getting in the pre-reqs? ABSN's look...

2. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

   marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School, College Programs

   Congrats on getting accepted! It's about half the price of NYU which is why I ended up choosing Drexel over them. Total cost for the program (including first quarter fees but NOT including room/board)...

3. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

   marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School, College Programs

   Clinical sites are throughout the Philly area, Jersey, and Delaware. They don't take your residence into account when assigning your clinicals. You CAN get by without a car, but you'll be hustling to...

4. Is taking Chem & Physiology together a bad idea??

   marquisdelafayette replied to TarynV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   This is hard to answer because it depends on you and your abilities! I took multiple sciences every semester and still made it through easily with A's. If you're strong in science and you know how you...

5. Clinicals Advice

   marquisdelafayette replied to Phoenix94's topic in General Students

   Those sorts of things definitely come from experience! Your clinical instructor is asking you those things so that in the future, you start to think about them. No one expects you to know everything...

6. Clinicals Advice

   marquisdelafayette replied to Phoenix94's topic in General Students

   In clinicals, you're fortunate to have some control over your education. Be the first to volunteer to step up to try things, always ask questions, ask for more opportunities to see and do things if...

8. 3.2 GPA Nursing Material

   marquisdelafayette replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   In my experience with points based ADNs, they're EXTREMELY competitive. Even with a minimum of 2.75 GPA, likely the people applying have much higher. I would look into the school's stats, see what...

9. 3.2 GPA Nursing Material

   marquisdelafayette replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   That really depends on your school and what sort of program it is! Is it an associates, bachelors, ABSN? Do they do acceptances on a point based system or a more holistic

10. Retaking a class for a better grade

    marquisdelafayette replied to silphium's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, especially because of how old your psych class/grade is, I don't think schools will look negatively at you retaking. For some schools, your original might even be considered 'expired', so...

11. Two separate GPA Help!

    marquisdelafayette replied to NewPathForMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like others have been saying, it'll depend on the school. Most weight SHOULD be put on the pre-reqs. I know when I was applying to ABSN programs, I had a 2.95 uGPA and came back to do my pre-reqs like...

13. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School, College Programs

    I live really close to the Center City Campus since that's where the majority of nursing classes would be if they were in person (and where all the labs are). I think I'm like an 8 minute walk away...

14. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School, College Programs

    So all lectures are live online and we've got two labs, one alternates every other week on campus and online and the other alternates with our clinical. We have five classes this quarter. The bigger...

15. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats! I'm enjoying it! It's got a couple organizational issues but I think that's for all schools right now due to covid. It's definitely a lot to keep track of but it's doable! I think one of the...
