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

   marquisdelafayette replied to Hector10's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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 at a lot of different criteria, they tend to look ...

2. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

   marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School 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) is about $58,000.

3. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

   marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School 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 find a carpool every time clinical assignments are...

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

   marquisdelafayette replied to TarynV's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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 need to study to do your best, chem and phys are ...

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 from the start! Thinking like a nurse takes time an...

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 they're not being given to you. Don't let the fear o...

8. 3.2 GPA Nursing Material

   marquisdelafayette replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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 previously accepted classes looked like. I know I app...

9. 3.2 GPA Nursing Material

   marquisdelafayette replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing

   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 approach?

10. Retaking a class for a better grade

    marquisdelafayette replied to silphium's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 you'd have to retake anyway. And while yes, you're p...

11. Two separate GPA Help!

    marquisdelafayette replied to NewPathForMe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    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 you and had a 4.0 in those. I got accepted into b...

13. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School 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 which is really nice. A lot of people live out by th...

14. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School 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 ones (Assessment, Funds, Patho) cover anywhere from...

15. Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

    marquisdelafayette replied to boaf's topic in School 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 best parts of it is that the professors truly do ...
