Yes it can be done- is the outcome great in many cases? Remember some of those classes have pre-reqs also... It is hard to get into any/most nursing programs right now, you've pretty much got to score top scores to be competitive.

Hi! Once a person has been accepted to a Nursing program, how extensive is the Physical Exam? Do they have to draw blood, do Xrays (outside of TB test)? Any ideas on costs for a physical exam? Thanks to all.

I feel it's wrong that bookstores don't release ISBN. My workaround is to write the professor and ask for the name and the ISBN. That is the least they can do for you.

California is very competitive programs, which i am sure you already know. You face a challenge. It is important that you are realistic about your chances, given your GPA. Focus on getting your GPA much higher or going for a less impacted program. Do...
