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 lot of studying or a bad idea all around. The Chemis...

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 programs you're applying for will be, but even then...

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 ASU's prerequisites and they have these health pre...

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 moments as you know and it can turn a lot of peopl...

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 allow pre-reqs to be in progress as long as it's ...

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 hand)

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 policy. For example, CSULA's traditional BSN progr...

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 CSU and CC, the most competitive state for nursing, ...

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, only for students already admitted into the nursi...

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 competitive and chances of getting into a CSU, let alone ...

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 the South LOL). And I'm at a CC right now doing my g...

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 work/school in what's most likely the same state and going ...

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 pressuring me into the field and the money and job securit...

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 don't have time right now to research it thoroughly...

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 is entirely lottery. My CC is still point-based. I ...

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 into taking Chemistry in Summer 2023, but I know I'...

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, Orgo, and biochem as one class, and I realized that my...

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 for 3-4 years) The Chemistry class that I do...

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 you well because they don't really know you which yo...

@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 to start reading and studying Chemistry as soon as ...

Hello! I'm a new student currently doing my gen eds at a community college. I should start Chemistry in the Spring. I'm also from California. I would personally like to transfer to a Cal State and get my BSN, but knowing this state when it comes to a...

@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 is that a lot of work but it's not allowed at my ...
