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

    nurturer, I am glad to hear you will be giving it a try. Keep your attitude as postive as possible and you will do fine. There will be many highs and many lows, but you will get through it. It...

    morningstarRN replied to mommyoffour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My classes run on a quarter schedule rather than semesters. I have just started Chemistry this week for spring quarter. I will be finished with the class in ten weeks if all goes well. Quarters...

  3. Online Course - English 1

    morningstarRN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took English 101 online. It was very enjoyable for me. There is a lot of essay writing. Our instructors incorporated a blog into our final project as well. I am glad I took the course

    morningstarRN replied to baxter80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You shouldn't have a problem taking those two together. Like others have said there will be a lot of reading comp. If you feel okay with your reading and memory then you are

    morningstarRN replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only have my biology classes left. There are three of them, and they are required to be taken in order. I am adding in some other classes that were not required to balance them out. It seemed like...

  6. Very Discourgaged

    morningstarRN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. My nursing entrance exam says...

    morningstarRN replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone else mentioned above, perhaps it is a very difficult test. Maybe everyone scores fairly low on that portion and it is expected. ?? If that is not the case, and you are secure with your...

  9. How many semesters/years of Pre Reqs?

    morningstarRN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on what your program requires in the way of pre-req's. For most people I know, who started without any completed, it took between 1 1/2 to 2 years. I understand your desire to get...

  10. Dropping a course

    morningstarRN replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you switch to an audit for the class? That way you would still be able to sit in the classroom and absorb the information, but you wouldn't take tests. You are not assigned a grade for the class...

    morningstarRN replied to EmmaG's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We are not allowed to wear crocs where I work because of people tripping in them. However, I wear them at home all the time, especially while doing housework and such. Today I was carrying things...

    morningstarRN replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently 3.7 but hope to raise my gpa. I don't think a 3.0 would even be considered at the schools I am applying to next year. It is very competative here in the Pacific Northwest. Good luck...

    morningstarRN replied to leahmarie5324's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

    morningstarRN replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school clepping doesn't change your GPA. It simply removes the requirement to take the course. So if you are trying to raise your GPA you would probably want to take the course and get an A....

  19. Help, taking dev math

    morningstarRN replied to Brandi8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too was terrified of Algebra. I took elementary Algebra last quarter. Our grade was based only on six exams and a final. I was concerned right up until the end that I would not pass. I ended up...

    morningstarRN replied to Sunset87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. CNA to CMA to LPN

    morningstarRN replied to donyea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the other two posts ahead of me. CMA doesn't transfer to the LPN and it doesn't use theory that will really give you an edge with the LPN schooling. I don't think it will help...

    morningstarRN replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so excited! I just finished my final in Algebra II and passed the class with a A- I know that is not perfect but, for me, it was such a relief. I can't tell what a load it lifted getting...

  24. I am stressing out here!!!

    morningstarRN replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math has never been my most enjoyable subject. The only thing I have found as I go along is that I have to face it head on. If I know I am weak in a certain area I have been taking classes and using...
