  1. Trying to compare my GPA with others who have already gotten accpeted

    WayneStateKatie replied to scubapupet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My BSN program has a minimum 2.5. I had a 4.0 in the sciences, 3.8 overall in the prereqs. I was one of 48 admitted out of nearly 200 applicants. My program also gives preference to students who...

  2. Starting school in August and need surgery!

    WayneStateKatie replied to mrs obie's topic in General Students

    Get it done now! At my school if you aren't fully functional (ie you break your leg and are on crutches or if you can't lift due to bad wrist etc) you are not allowed in clinical. You have to wait a...

  3. Classes and instructors this fall

    WayneStateKatie replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Sounds like you have a pretty good line up-- I hope she is good since she's new. And I'm so sorry you're going to miss your daughters first day of school-- not that I'm advocating this but often...

  4. What pre-reqs are you taking this fall?

    WayneStateKatie replied to klkozicki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Kimberly! Are you taking chem at Wayne or at a CC? I've heard great things about the prof that's doing it this fall. And are you doing bio 1510 at Wayne too? If so you'll have to tell me which...

  5. In order to get into nursing schools what is the lowest GPA needed to be considered

    WayneStateKatie replied to Mrfox90's topic in General Students

    Be sure what the rules are for the program you're applying to. My BSN program at the state university gives preference to students who complete all and then some of the prereqs at the university....

  6. How do I get accepted and where

    WayneStateKatie replied to Austo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Retake the prerequisite courses. Many community colleges around me only use your grades in pre-reqs to determine GPA for admission. It might take more time, but you really need at the minimum a 2.75...

  7. Chemistry online at Macomb??

    WayneStateKatie replied to gemberly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Oh no I didn't mean to freak you out! Now I feel bad. I was just offering my opinion. Chemistry is something a lot of people really struggle with and it is new type of information that's different...

  8. Chemistry online at Macomb??

    WayneStateKatie replied to gemberly's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you have no chemistry experience then there is no way I would suggest you take it online. Chemistry is tough, and you will definitely need the in class explanation and instruction to grasp it...

  9. How Is This Possible

    WayneStateKatie replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sucks! I have no idea how that happened and if I were you I would be suspicious and upset too! There is no way anyone should be accepted if they don't have any of the prereqs done-- could they...

  10. Got Rejected

    WayneStateKatie replied to GreenGlassCastle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psych sounds like a good idea to me if you really like it and are capable of getting very good grades in it. The college of nursing will likely look at what you did since you last applied so I would...

  11. I would like to be a nurse! Help Baker or Mott?

    WayneStateKatie replied to dewberrysquish's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Congratulations on your decision-- the next few years will be devoted to a lot of hard work but it will be worth it in the end. While I can't answer your specific questions about Baker or Mott I...

  12. ann arbor area...cost of living? domestic partner benefits?

    WayneStateKatie replied to MagnesiuM's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I grew up in Ann Arbor and absolutely love the area although the cost of living there is substantially higher than many other places in the state. Very liberal with great schools. I'm not sure about...

  13. School Shopping

    WayneStateKatie replied to NightnGale's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd ask about NCLEX pass rates, retention (what percent of the students who start the program complete it), and also how many students they admit/ what GPA was the lowest accepted in previous years....

  14. Additional Classes for Nursing Students

    WayneStateKatie replied to Blueorchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try to get as many of the general education requirements for the BSN out of the way (history, social science, philosophy, visual/ performing art etc check with the state school you plan to...

  15. Anatomy II before Anatomy I?

    WayneStateKatie replied to sissy84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AP I and AP II were entirely different when I took them. I had exceedingly solid high As in both and I used absolutely nothing I learned from AP I in AP II. They were entirely different systems. If...

  16. Wondering about RN licensure and Past Records

    WayneStateKatie replied to moosespb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call your state board of nursing to see if your particular offense would bar you from obtaining your RN license. I know I had to pass a background check to be accepted to my schools program. For...

  17. GPA little low

    WayneStateKatie replied to Lastdon9680's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well it's better to be penalized a little and retake it with a fabulous grade than to not retake it and have no shot at getting in. not sure what your school's policy is, but at a few schools around...

  18. Discouraged...

    WayneStateKatie replied to justwannaRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sorry you're feeling so down but you're taking your classes at wayne so that means you're in a higher priority group and will have a better chance at being admitted to their program than someone...

  19. On my way back to OCC (Finally!)

    WayneStateKatie replied to vm156's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Those are the three hardest classes, and I wouldn't take them all together if you didn't absolutely have to. OCC's deadline is December 15 and they only take those applications once a year so it's...

  20. Everest Institute

    WayneStateKatie replied to studentsistah's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Ok that may be true but this is the MICHIGAN forum. The Everests in MICHIGAN do NOT offer RN and they are not accepted by the MICHIGAN board of nursing for RN. The Florida board of nursing may...

  21. Oakland University 2nd degree Wait list

    WayneStateKatie replied to katie1234's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sure you probably got that idea from me-- which I got from one of their counselors at an information meeting who told me that they "didn't turn away qualified applicants like wayne did" (which...

  22. Oakland University 2nd degree Wait list

    WayneStateKatie replied to katie1234's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Actually all the prereqs have to have grades submitted by JUNE 1 not July but the actual application to Wayne's college of nursing has to be done by march 31 for the fall class, but they will tell...

  23. Austin Moms/Nursing students I need your help!!

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

    You could try posting in the regional Texas forum. You might get a better response in there. Hope you get the info you

  24. I want to be a nurse.. what do I do next?

    WayneStateKatie replied to divsky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Divsky congrats on your decision to enter nursing. Take a big breath and relax:loveya: You won't have to take the Nursing Entrance Test before you even start prerequisite classes. Since it...

  25. Wayne State University

    WayneStateKatie replied to klkozicki's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't get mine yet but for CD2 your orientation will either be June 24 or 26 depending on where your name is in the alphabet (what it says on the website). Mine is the beginning of July for the...
