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

  5. Getting Accepted on a GPA only system

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

    MikeInCO replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear what you're saying... But I don't know that I agree w/ all of it. Are they only going to pass those who will make 'good' nurses or those who will most likely pass the NCLEX on the first try...

  13. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    MikeInCO replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also agree about the CCCS system. And about how there aren't generally many counselors out there who have a clue when it comes to the nursing programs. And at the CC that I'm going to now they...

    MikeInCO replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MikeInCO replied to JenHCC's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
