    Taking Two Pre-Requisites Together?

    rougewitch posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious to know, what was everyone's experience with taking two science pre-reqs together (such as Chem and A&P 1, or A&P 2 and Microbio) ? I wanted to know if it's doable albeit with a...

    B- in micro

    rougewitch replied to Saikay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your chances of getting in a program is still pretty high. You have all As in your other prereqs and it's only microbio where you didn't get an A. It will still depend on how competitive the...

    Arizona State University's Health Prerequisites

    rougewitch posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I am a student at a CC from California and considering ASU as one of the schools I will apply to when applications open. Traditional BSN specifically, I'm not interested in doing an ABSN. I looked at...

    Withdrew from nursing school. Any alternative majors in case nursing doesn't work out for me?

    rougewitch replied to Julia Hart's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice for you, and I'm the last person qualified to help as I'm still a student doing prerequisites, but I admire your dedication to keep going. Nursing comes with a lot of grueling...

    How to find/research nursing schools

    rougewitch replied to iwong's topic in School, College Programs

    Pick a state or a particular school you're interested in and read their requirements. Preferably away from the west coast, I hear the entire west coast is highly competitive. Many out of state schools...

    Where to go for nursing school

    rougewitch replied to SydC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not OP, but where in the South are you from and was it a BSN or an ADN program, if I may ask? Also for OP, some schools outside CA don't need TEAS (every public school in CA does on the other

    Where to go for nursing school

    rougewitch replied to SydC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is some truth to what your counselor said about only the first attempt counting which is why I suggested the out of state option because there are states that are more "lenient" in their retake...

    Where to go for nursing school

    rougewitch replied to SydC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really don't mean to discourage you by saying this, but both your overall GPA and science GPA are pretty low, and it's not just for California standards. California is highly competitive for both...

    Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I was wondering how I was going to get around the health prereqs ASU needs seeing my CC does not have any classes that I could take. One of them was pathophysiology which my CC doesn't even have,...

    Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    rougewitch posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I should start off by saying I don't know where to put this, so I just put it in pre-nursing as I only have ever posted here. Anyway, it's pretty well known that California is...

    Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ASU was actually one of the schools I'm considering. The main school I'm looking at is in the east coast, not that I'm not disregarding Arizona though honestly I don't care where I end up (just not...

    Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did get that same advice to just stay in nursing and pull through because of the job opportunities from a friend who's also a nursing major. Also, not to sound rude, but driving an hour to...

    Vent, I don't even know anymore

    rougewitch posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how to start this off. I just had an emotional breakdown yesterday and I'm having another one while typing this because I don't know why I'm majoring in nursing other than my mom...

    Vent, I don't even know anymore

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for that. No, I do not have any patient care experience at all, I haven't done any volunteering, even though you're right that I should because it's the only way to know. I looked it up (I...

    Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I am considering the community college I am currently attending, but the CCs are just as competitive. I live in a pretty populated area of SoCal and a CC that's driving distance from where I am...

    Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    rougewitch posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I was supposed to take Chemistry in the Spring, but due to scheduling issues (none of the sections had a time I needed) I had to push it back and take it in a later semester. I'm looking...

    Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's really interesting, because for CSULA, CSUF, and CSULB, they all accept the Fundamentals of Chemistry class according to Assist. I just reread an older post you made about taking Gen Chem,...

    Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None of those classes you listed is required for a Cal State, where I want to apply to (All are needed for UCLA/UCI but that's not my plan, taking those classes would mean I'd have to be at my college...

    Help choosing best reference for application

    rougewitch replied to CloCloAA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see why you should use someone you wouldn't know as your reference, even if they work at a hospital and would potentially be advantageous to your application. They wouldn't able to describe...

    Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @CloCloAA Yeah, I prefer in person too. Crossing my fingers a professor offers it fully in person in the Summer. How many hours did you spent studying for Chemistry per week? I know I will have...

    rougewitch replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @bsd058 Thank you for responding! I apologize that it sounded like I was taking two separate courses together in one semester. I won't take a separated Anatomy and Physiology in one semester, not only...
